Is legalized same-sex marriage going nationwide in the U.S? As most of us may have heard by now four judges decided to overturn the will of the people of state of California this week and legalized same-sex marriage there. It seems to me it may be just a matter of a few years before the whole of U.S legalizes same-sex marriage. Unfortunately the gay-rights movement seems to be winning over people to their side and attitudes are softening on legalizing same-sex marriage. The movement has deceived people into believng its some kind of human rights issue to engage in unnatural and sinful activities. They are sort of equalizing it to the 1960's civil rights movement for African-Americans and many people are falling for it. When you look at this issue at its core, its not about gaining equal rights as citizens(they already have civil unions) but its about forcing everyone to ACCEPT and ENDORSE the homosexual lifestyle, so that its becomes just an alternative lifetyle. That is why they a

Check out a feature Hope FM presenter Yafesi Musoke did with mwafrika.com I think Yafesi is a good presenter, he is has a calm demeanour unlike other presenters that try to be loud and all in your ear! The ability to grab a hold of your on-air audience and have them latch onto your every word is the domain of few radio presenters. Witty, inspirational and with a voice to match, Hope FM’s Yafesi Musoke knows all about that. A name almost synonymous with Christian radio, Yafesi’s efforts are felt not only on the station programming, but also on their creative and often very interesting commercials.Off-air, this host of the breakfast show Activate is a simple man who finds fun in being inventive, and as with all really creative minds, is a self-confessed introvert. For his listeners, the latter bit may be a tad difficult to believe, given his outgoing radio persona. This, he says, is actually one of the main challenges he faces as a presenter. He explains: Continue reading here .

Wow! I have a black friend studying in Russia right now so this short documentary hit me hard and it was painful to watch. Russia has a terrible problem of racism rising in their country and I really feel that their government hasn't been called out enough on it. With half the worlds neo-Nazi's currently living in Russia, I think this is something that should even go as high as the United Nations, which after all which is an organization that was built on the tragedy that was the Nazi holocaust. It would be really tragic for history to repeat itself when we can stop this growing menace right now while it is not yet widespread. I say stop these people before their ideology takes root in the country! (Warning: video contains graphic violence)
