    I am having trouble understanding of how some bosses and corporations work.

Something just doesn't seem...

    The Borgias series

    Does anyone think the series on Shotime called the "Borgias" shows an accurate representation of the papacy? Or does it try to push what liberal Hollywood thinks of the papacy?

    Why do the rich get richer and the

    poor get poorer? I am really having a hard time understanding this. Why are people rewarded for being slick, cutthroat, and dishonest while the honest always get the lesser end of things? I just heard some guy winning a few million dollars who is already a millionaire. And the guy happens to...

    When media goes too far

    An acquaintance recently gave me this horror flick called "A Serbian Film". I never should have watched it. Some videos just go too far these days that censorship sometimes is a good thing. Directors are getting more and more extreme and people are getting more and more desensitized. What...

    St. Thomas More's head

    On doing research on the relics of Thomas More. I found that his head is being kept as a relic at St. Dunstan's Church in Canterbury. An Anglican Church. Considering Thomas More was staunchly against the Anglican reforms this seems quite an odd place for this relic to be. Shouldn't it be, of all...
