Most Viewed Opinionated Blogs (1,909)

To start with, I want to apologize for abandoning my blog yesterday; I had a little mishap here at home. Nothing serious though.

I did not read the comments posted since my last response. I will not be able to reply to each one of them, but I promise to read all of them before I go to sleep.

Regarding the blog, I had something to say and I said it. I sought nobody’s approval prior to posting the blog while I knew some would disagree and or object. That is life on the blogs.

But there is something else that is bothering me. Why look for numbers by saying ‘I agree with so and so’. If you want to say something, be your own man and say it. Maybe we ARE sheep.

And if you’re scared that your view won’t meet the approval of the others, don’t say one thing on the blog and send a PM saying the opposite. Just keep quiet if you are scared to say what you think. It confuses me when people do that because I don’t know whether to believe the comment or the PM.


Wow! It is weekend again.

I love a little drama, but it has to be entertaining.

Been away from this place for a few months and within a short time of giving my opinion on a blog, I’ve been attacked and vilified. It’s hilarious!

The judgmental calling others judgmental.

The hateful accusing others of being hateful.

The self proclaimed “guru” types with their incoherent ramblings accusing others of being pseudo psychologists

The thumpers of the “let me be me!” And “I have a right to post what I like!” mantra telling others to shut their pieholes and keep their opinions to themselves

The offended calling others names and doing the shaming bit

You all are great creators of drama but it would be fun if it was more original and less filled with this life or death kind of cray. Just sayin...

Would you hold it against me?


Any native (and good non-native) English speakers will know that sentence can be read in two different ways, with different meanings.


Words are powerful, but that power can be both productive or destructive depending on the meaning of the author, or more importantly, how they are read by the reader.

This is especially true on a medium such as CS where the written word is the main means of communication.

Posts are sometimes misconstrued for a number of reasons. It could be simply misread; defensiveness; ego; current mood; agenda, etc., or any combination of the above.

Sometimes it is a good thing that the post is misinterpreted. I read one post last week and I went 'Whoooo,.. that is a dig! '
But the person to whom it was directed, read it completely differently and not as a negative against them .

But often, it is simply an innocent statement taken up incorrectly, and maybe not even related to the person who misinterprets it, and suddenly world war three ensues.


CS is a microcosm of the real world.
It is just as well nobody here has access to weapons of mass destruction

Imagine two scorpions in a bottle.
Neither will gain anything by attacking the other. Yet they will think attacking the other is the best form of defense or survival. Naturally, they will gain nothing but end up killing each other.

Similarly to scorpions we share a common space called earth.

Birth and death are the only two ends of a string we are tied with.

Between those two ends we are all given a short sentence called LIFE.

In life we all strive to gain happiness, security and peace while avoiding suffering, pain and anxiety.

But just like the Scorpions we have failed to transcend the artificial boundaries and mental barriers like colour, race, religion, nationality, sexuality etc; that are more divisive than uniting us as a race. Human race.



Throughout history humans have abused, violated and killed each other over these barriers and continue to do so.

Animals only act by instincts of survival and does not act through a sense of morality.

We distinguish ourselves civilised and most intelligent species on earth, but failing miserably to uphold and treasure our ethics, morals and intellect in our day to day relationships as dignified human beings.

Wish you a peaceful week with lots of patience and tolerance.!!

I am blogging with my phone for the first time while waiting for something. Excuse me for any mistakes and not enough emoticons.

I am off to another planet.

Some of my friends believe that I eat my meat raw, but they are wrong. Generally my meat must be well done, especially if it is on a bone. If there is any redness against the bone, I stop eating it right there.

The only exception is rump steak. I’m talking about the beef variety now. Even kudu steaks must be well done. Not cremated or dry, just well done. But when it comes to a piece of rump steak, cut from a domesticated bovine creature, I eat it in a condition when a good veterinary surgeon will still be able to haul it through. I don’t mind if it moos at me when I put my fork into it. It must just not run away.

Do you like it the way I do?


Or do you also think as some of my friends do?


I don’t know why some of my friends believe that they are gods to demand that I bring them burned offerings.


Enjoy the day but don't burn your meat.

When I was a child you could stand on a soap box on Piccadilly Square and shout out all your grudges – or so I heard – and very soon you would have a crowd of sympathetic ears. And if you did it often and loud enough, the people would gather even before you arrived to spread your poison.

Of late, if you have a grudge against men, or a grudge against women, or religion or just anything; even just a grudge against somebody you don’t know, you go on line, find a site where you can blog and shout it out. And in true Piccadilly Square style, very soon you will have a fan club to endorse your view.

When I first joined CS in January last year, it was the blogs that got me hooked. Yes, there were the niggles in between but we were having fun most of the time. Somehow that fun has deteriorated to the point where we see too much unhappiness. This is not the place for hate speech.

What is the mucking fatter with the people? This is supposed to be a dating site that should be bubbling with joy and pleasure but instead, all we ever hucking fear, is a bunch of mucking foans. What does it matter if a few tucking frolls want to spoil the shucking fow?

Let’s have some fun again for a change. So come tell me what you need and I will tell you how to get on without it.

When I was a child – and even as a young man – I have always wished to be American. As I grew older I came to realize that it was not all milk and honey in the US of A.

I guess that is the price of prosperity. Everybody want to take it away from you. They are surrounded by enemies; communist fanatics, Islamic extremists, drug cartels… and enemies deep inside. Yet, it would appear that the Americans are their own worst enemy.

Never mind the politics, the racial friction, their foreign policies, the terrorist attacks, the wars, the illegal immigrants and the organized crime. We have more than our share of that here; I’m used to it.

I’d think twice before going there. I’d be too scared to do anything in fear of being sued. Just about everybody and every business are being sued for every conceivable little misstep. Attorneys are actively canvassing for clients on whose behalf to sue; they even sue one another for malpractice. I can understand why medical doctors simply walk away if they happen to stumble across somebody who needs their help; even if they can save their lives. They’re likely to be sued for anything else that may go wrong even though they saved the person’s life.

It won’t surprise me to hear about parents suing teachers for incompetence because their children failed a test or examination. And if it already happened it will surprise me even less. And I think it is outrageous that a burglar can sue the owner of a house for injuries sustained while breaking the law.

No, I’m not trying to crush the American dream; things are no better here though we have the opposite. It is very hard to successfully sue a professional. You won’t find a medical doctor to testify in court against another medical doctor. And the same goes for the legal profession – or any other profession for that matter. They cover for one another. Apparently a successful court suit gives the profession a bad name. And you can forget about suing a big business. You will ruin yourself financially in the process.


But have a great day regardless. It is Friday!

Ok, I’m back in the market, but not just anyone will do. I’m looking for a very special girl. The properties I’m looking for are very hard to find. My high standards will not allow me to settle for anybody less.

I want somebody who has seen the bad side of life as well. She has to be young, beautiful, and orphaned, living in a refugee camp, somewhere in Central or West Africa, outside of her own war torn country, and coming from a very prominent political family in her original country. If her late father was a political leader or an industrialist and held a doctor’s degree, honorary or self awarded, it will be an added bonus.

However, an offshore banking account in London, boasting at least 6.5 million US Dollars, is a prerequisite, even if there are some logistic problems in securing the money. I will gladly supply my bank account and pin number in order to facilitate the transfer of money to my country. Preference shall be given to the candidate with the most money, unless if she is very ugly. But even then, it will be weighed up against her cash reserves. Money talks loudest.

I can fully anticipate that she will be in a great hurry to expedite this for I know and understand that her greedy uncles and cousins will also be trying to lay their hands on what is rightfully hers. For all we know, they may have been instrumental in the demise of her parents. I shall protect her against her conniving family.

I'm fully prepared to send to her the money for a passport, airfare, and any other incidental expenses, providing that we work through a reliable and trusted intermediary, maybe the preacher man that we find in every refugee camp. If we cannot trust him, whom else can we trust?

No, this is not about the money; I really do love her. I know she will have a wonderful personality even though her English grammar is not that polished. After all, she speaks French. The problem is that I don’t know where to find such a girl. If any of you happen to come across somebody in this position, please refer her to me. I will forever be in your debt.


Oh, if you find her, don’t keep her to yourself. My happiness depends on her.

Suicide is the worse sin you can commit. It leaves you without the opportunity to repent.

It also is the worse crime you can commit. You have cold-bloodedly murdered somebody while deliberately leaving enough clues around to be convicted in a court of law. Sometimes even leaving a written confession, but you are not around to stand trial. Not in this world anyway.

A deed you have planned in detail and executed to perfection. Premeditated! You should hang.

But is this the coward’s way out? I don’t think so. It takes guts to execute; a kind of guts I don’t think I possess. Or total insanity.

I cannot even try to imagine what must go through the mind of the person when he takes that final step that takes him beyond that point of no return.


Cheer up! We are one day closer to Friday.

Insanity is not a disgrace or a crime. The only reason why the insane (and not we) are locked up in asylums is that we are more than them. See, that is how democracy works. The majority rules and to hell with minorities. That’s right! The winner takes it all.

It is not a requirement for CS members to be insane but it is a definite recommendation. Be kind to insane members; they will soon be the majority and then they will treat you the way you treated them in the past. You know that story about ‘do to others’… I think it is called Karma. Here on the blogs, you can be driven to insanity without a vehicle; 100% free of charge. Remember that later when you want to become part of the majority.

If you’re not born that way, don’t despair. It is inheritable; you can get it from your children. Another way to become insane is to spend prolonged periods in the company of the insane. Don’t take them too seriously or you will be driven insane before your time.

Not everybody can be insane. If you cannot get it in the normal ways don’t try to bash your head into a wall. That causes brain damage and is not to be confused with insanity. The insane are not retarded, brain-damaged or stupid. In fact, some of them may have very high IQs.

The insane are masters of manipulation and perfectly capable of impersonating sane people… until they comment. If you’re not sure, tread carefully. Put a tame comment on his/her blog and see how it pans out. If the OP insults you without reason, you found one. Run for the hills. A more subtle approach will be to wait for a comment on your blog. If it is an insult, you found one. Run for the hills.


The moral of the story?
Sane, level minded people know how to behave towards other people. That is why they are not in asylums.
