This just proves once more, that the heads of the Evangelical Movement are phony, selfish scumbags.

Children are trafficked for the explicit puposes of forced labour, prostitution and other forms of exploitation. To raise awareness for this unbearable situation, [...]

Right, there will be a short steampunk-related update later, but for now, I want to share this little gem with you: Yes, what Ms Watson is describing here is real. It is happening now, in the 21st century. I despair! How screwed-up can some people’s minds be… No, I do not blame this on Christianity, [...]

Today in 1910 the first woman ever received her airplane pilot’s licence and thus becoming the first aviatrix in history: Raymonde de Laroche.

While looking for something completely different, I came across the website of Martin Langford. His work is heavily influenced by topics like environmentalism, consumerism and similar topics.
