4. The Crusades Of Writing October 16, 2009 Writing becomes a necessity when the worthier elements of life like love and joy, become pursuits instead of possessions. Those who like to mouth ‘I love to write’ might as well have ‘loved to bungee jump’. So often, writing is an escape rather than a commitment, an alternative rather than a motive, a hobby rather than an involvement. The difference between writing, when writing is the object of a desire, and writing, when it is the dearth of one, is similar to the difference between consuming food through your mouth or your nostrils. One is precise; the other is either foolhardy or delibera... (read more) Author: thirupathi kalleda

9. From City of Peace to Jerusalem June 07, 2009 Trying to live in Jerusalem has always been a bit of a gamble. The ancient Babylonians, Egyptians and Persians all cast lusty eyes on Jerusalem's riches. In the seventh century, Moslems conquered the "Holy Land" along with its city sacred to three faiths. During the Crusades, Jerusalem changed hands often. After the knights of the First Crusade succeeded in breaching Jerusalem's walls, they massacred nearly everyone within them, regardless of religion, wiping out as many as 40,000. Today, the Israeli and Palestinian states lay claim to parts of the city and Jerusalem's bloody, viol... (read more) Author: Robert Bell

11. The Children's Crusade (1212): Sheer Folly April 06, 2009 The Children’s Crusade (1212): Sheer Folly By Ross Dix-Peek It beggars belief the sheer madness that has so often been perpetuated in the name of Religion. One of these debacles was the Children’s Crusade of 1212. The Crusades (“Croisades” in French) were undertaken by so-called “Christians” to drive the non-believers from Jerusalem and the “Holy Land”. It is said that one Peter Gautier, The Hermit and just another of history’s mindless “fanatics”, an officer of Amiens, on his return from pilgrimage incited Pope Urban II to expel “infidels” from the city where Christ had taught....

12. The Crusades April 06, 2009 The great external event of the Middle Ages was the Crusades,--indeed, they were the only common enterprise in which Europe ever engaged. Such an event ought to be very interesting, since it has reference to conflicting passions and interests. Unfortunately, in a literary point of view, there is no central figure in the great drama which the princes of Europe played for two hundred years, and hence the Crusades have but little dramatic interest. No one man represents that mighty movement. It was a great wave of inundation, flooding Asia with the unemployed forces of Europe, animated by passion... (read more) Author: Adleer Jeff

There will be awards for each zone in the Classic areas, Burning Crusades and Wrath of the Lich King.

15. Women's Fashion Takes The Environmental Route March 09, 2009 Many people view the fashion world as something that is superficial and skin deep.

17. Christian Wars - A Misnomer December 31, 2008 Christians, God's children, have for years taken a beating by those who make the claim that Christians have been responsible in part, at least, for religious wars that killed tens of thousands of people during the Crusades and in Europe itself during the Middle Ages. There never was any truth to it and never will be. Just because a Catholic claims to be a Christian does not make him one. Just because a Protestant makes the claim to be a Christian does not make him one - not now, not back then, not ever. Neither Catholics nor Protestants are Christians. Neither group has ever been will... (read more) Author: Denny Smith

24. Markets work - even in downturns April 10, 2008 Utopians and fantasists usually use the turmoil of 'bourgeois' living and market upheavels to propose 'brave new world' solutions. These 'new' solutions are of course, the very old and tired ideas of conformity, equality, security and risk-less living. Even in turmoil, more dynamic and open markets are far better, than state-controlled, regulated and fettered systems. The facts, as John Adams once said, are stubborn things supporting this truism. There are periods of rising markets and falling markets. Some sectors of the economy will expand, others will contract. Sometimes there will be... (read more) Author: C. Read

25. Iraq and Iran - another example of weakness leading to more violence April 10, 2008 fascism lurks behind Islam . It could be just mere coincidence.">Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, we can see that Iran and Islam are again rattling the sabre of confrontation. It is clear that weakness begets war. As that old Anglo white warmonger capitalist-conservative Churchill stated, ‘Nations which go down fighting rise again, those who surrender tamely are finished.’ Tamely surrendering to fascist Islam, running out of Iraq and Afghanistan to placate chattering socialist morons at home and in the media, or the opportunistic cowardly and fainéant, will only embolden civilization’s e...
