I am not a hippie.
But I did find myself becoming increasingly upset while listening to someone’s presentation this morning. The topic which was supposed to be discussed, government promotion of business, quite possibly one of the most boringly objective and seemingly straightforward topics available, somehow managed to turn into an environment bashing session. My talent [...]
… would probably be an understatement when describing the situation at masjid Khalid’s youth conference earlier today. I would also say that I’m bitter about a potentially rewarding experience being turned into a hellish nightmare by the people around me. In order for me to give a complete picture of how today’s events unfolded, I’ll [...]
I’m a little upset after a discussion with a certain someone over The Muslim Wife. I have to capitalize it for emphasis, because it’s always a favourite topic of discussion. The Muslim Wife should be this and that, she shouldn’t do this, but she should always do that, and rarely a mention of the role [...]
It’s 1 a.m, and I’m working on an essay I’m supposed to hand in for my Philosophy class tomorrow morning. It’s dealing with the Protagoras quote, “Man is the measure of all things,” looking at the issue of morality, specifically something called ‘moral relativism’, which came out of the Sophists in ancient Greece.

Torture is something China and Syria do. [...]
It’s always a little darker and colder once you get north of Steeles. And now that I think of it, you really don’t see a whole lot of people, besides the sudden rush of children pouring out of school in the afternoons. So for just that instant, as they all run home to their fenced, [...]
There was a thread on the forums that I just noticed today, discussing why they haven’t been getting the participation they were hoping for. I had this to say:
I think the lack of instructor participation is part of it, but I’d say much of the reason why people aren’t as active on the forums is [...]
“The Black Man in America has been colonized mentally, his mind has been destroyed. And today, even though he goes to college, he comes out and still doesn’t even know he is a Black Man; he is ashamed of what he is because his culture has been destroyed; he has been made to hate his [...]
Yesterday we in the car, about to make a left turn, when we were caught at the light. I had a lot on my mind and hadn’t been paying much attention to the conversation I was apparently a part of with my little sister, but I managed to notice something moving near my window. There [...]
