POPSCrimes of Passion Is this an instance of an "honor killing"? It certainly is an example of xenophobia gone amok. Either that or horribly twisted cultural traditions that I hope are based mainly with older members of society. If that's the case then, barring familial transference, we have a chance to rid our species of these obsolete taboos.

POPSMay: National Masturbation Month for Mothers!
2. More Fun For Dad! It seems the more women masturbate, the more open they are to their partner’s sexual advances. At first this seems odd. If she’s taking care of her “needs” by herself, wouldn’t she want less sex? Turns out the answer is no. Now whether that’s because masturbating makes women hornier, or horny women masturbate more is for you to decide. Also, women like to have multiple orgasms…Maybe the first one she gives herself is like an appetizer, gearing her up for more action with her man. 4. Strengthens the Pelvic Floor! Do your Kegels, do your kegels! It’s like a mother’s mantra during and after pregnancy. Luckily, orgasms are another great way to tone up those inner muscles. This may be one of the only honestly fun kinds of exercise that exists. 3. It Promotes Sleep! Mothers are notorious for being in bad moods due to lack of sleep, especially new Moms who wake up frequently to nurse or give bottles during the night. Masturbating at bed time is a perfect way to help you

POPSSex Education History: Social Engineering As Aaron Russo said about the feminist movement in interview with Alex Jones, where he said the Rockefellers had also helped start that in order to tax TWO working adults instead of one, and take over indoctrination of their children (in absentee via gov't schools), so the sex education program was a plan for social engineering, for population control into slavish obedience to government. The pretense of "emancipation", of both women and children, was designed for different purposes. This article is worth reading, and very sobering. Read just how radical the leaders of sex education were...advocating the farthest forms of deviancy from the common morals of the time, where families were largely intact.

POPSThose Noisy Atheists Cultural taboos against religious criticism are deeply ingrained. But are they justified? Apparently they are not. What happens is that generally people take criticism of their religious beliefs personally. It's as though religious beliefs hold some sort of position that is materially different from other beliefs that they hold. Except for the fact that religious beliefs are not reality based they are still simply ideas that a person has come across and decided to adopt.

POPSOn Coulter, Christians, And Jews Another Jewish 'thinker's perspective on Coulter's words. It helps to understand Christian theology, which gives insight to what she meant by 'perfected'. And contrary to the current anti-Christian propaganda, it will be the true Christians who will seek to protect the Jewish people.

POPSWhy we curse-What the @#$%? In English-speaking countries today, religious swearing barely raises an eyebrow. Gone with the wind are the days when people could be titillated by a character in a movie saying "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."...

POPSBonnie & Clyde The most interesting point to take and infer upon is that people have jobs that "create new fashions and cultural games for smart people to play and discuss". In other words, jobs that create the stuff you end up talking about as ultimately the "smart people" are those who disseminate new ideas via the media. (Albeit, tv, newspapers: arts & entertainment, opinion, comments and analysis etc...) You might call these people critics. The main point to remember is that the vast majority of people end up quoting these people. This makes me wonder about how many other jobs are out there that create attitudes, opinions and fashions? I think its always a good rule of thumb to keep a very close eye on where your attitudes and opinions come from. The next time you are asked your opinion on a topic, stop for a minute and ask yourself it is really your opinion?
