One Love: A Message of Tolerance


I was practically raised in church so I’m well familiar with the Ten Commandments and the sins in which mankind indulges. We each have sins which we repeatedly commit quite by ‘accident’ and we have our favourite and dearest sins. (No need to get defensive, handle that in your chamber privately with God.) But where do we get off measuring sins and deeming one worse than the other? Aren’t they all equal? I’m sure you agree that they are. Now I’ll reveal that I’m referring to homophobia. Yes, if you backpedal, you’re homophobic.

The Difference Between A Woman And A Lady




Are you familiar with the word ‘couth’? If you’re female in particular, you should be.

What about ‘uncouth’? Do you know that one? From my occasional incursions into our lovely city, more females know this word than its opposite.

The simple definition of the word ‘couth’ is “cultured, refined and well-mannered.”

An even simpler definition lies in the saying, “Ladies should be seen and not heard.”

Key word: Ladies.

It is not very often that we use the word ‘lady’ in our culture; is it because none exist? I fear the ratchets may have eaten them all.
