Does Barack Obama’s Skin Colour Matter, Really?
He said that Americans are not foolish and are, therefore, not going to elect a black man as their president. “Etiquette alone dictates that we don’t allow a black man to move into a house which is itself called the White House,” He said, quite forcefully.
He distastefully went on to say: “If Barack Obama had a White wife, Americans would have tolerated him. But there is no way Americans will have a black woman masquerading in their White House!”
If this one American (white American, I presume) voices the prejudices of millions others out there, then Barack should brace himself for “an extremely tight and asphyxiating” fight for the White House.
But Barack sounded his answer to anyone who might try to use such tactics (such as using his “skin colour” to sway the voters) when he made his exemplary speech during the Democratic National Convention.
He said:
“If you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters. If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.”
My two cents: Please guys, look not at the colour of the skin but at the content of character (among so many other things – competence, effective promise-delivering strategies etc).

Snapshots of Michelle Obama’s Speech this Week
I have reproduced here some sections of her thought provoking, heart tugging speech.
1. “I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.”
2. “I come here as a mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world — they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future — and all our children's future — is my stake in this election.”
3. “And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.”
4. “And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”
5. “Barack stood up that day, and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be." And he said that all too often, we accept the distance between the two, and settle for the world as it is — even when it doesn't reflect our values and aspirations. But he reminded us that we know what our world should look like. We know what fairness and justice and opportunity look like. And he urged us to believe in ourselves — to find the strength within ourselves to strive for the world as it should be. And isn't that the great American story?”
6. “All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do — that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.”
7. “It's a belief Barack shares — a belief at the heart of his life's work.”
8. “That's why he's running — to end the war in Iraq responsibly, to build an economy that lifts every family, to make health care available for every American, and to make sure every child in this nation gets a world class education all the way from preschool to college. That's what Barack Obama will do as president of the United States of America.”
9. “And in the end, after all that's happened these past 19 months, the Barack Obama I know today is the same man I fell in love with 19 years ago.”
10. “And as I tuck that little girl and her little sister into bed at night, I think about how one day, they'll have families of their own. And one day, they — and your sons and daughters — will tell their own children about what we did together in this election. They'll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes, instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming.”
11. “So tonight, in honor of my father's memory and my daughters' future — out of gratitude to those whose triumphs we mark this week, and those whose everyday sacrifices have brought us to this moment — let us devote ourselves to finishing their work; let us work together to fulfill their hopes; and let us stand together to elect Barack Obama president of the United States of America.”

How to overcome Ego?
The main problem that we all have in our daily life is "Ego". We used to have this thing in all of us and it secured a bad name for us in many places especially in working places. This is one of the bad thing that we all have in ourselves, if we overcome it then no can beat us. If we feel that this work can be done by all of us then it is welcome everywhere, at the same time if we feel that this work can be done only by us then it won't be nice, right? In our respective working places if we have this mentality, then no one will have the interest to cooperate with us and we will get separated from all the others. Because we all should feel that everyone are same and no is superior to others. If we all have this mindset within us, then you people see the difference.

Using Virtual Credit Cards in PayPal. Is it safe?
Hi friends as we all know many people are earning from blogs and for that PayPal is really helping them to get the amount that they earned from the blogs. All are fine, but in PayPal we need to verify our account using Credit Cards to get our account verified, otherwise our account will have some sending and withdrawing limits. In another case can use Virtual Credit Cards in PayPal, to get account verification. But i need to know how far this is safe as per to PayPal? Any way i am not going to try this, because for me those limits are enough to get paid. I read many forums, in that they are saying using of Virtual Credit Cards in PayPal is not that much safe and in some other forums they are saying it is safe. I don't know in based on what i should go.

Nigerian Man to kick “82 of his women” out in the Cold
Phew!
It occurred to me that for an 84-year-old man to keep such a vast number of women together and close to him then he must have loads of “strength”. Loads of that very vital energy that most men would give their eye teeth to have half of! (Kwani ni uongo!)
When asked to comment about his “strength”, the man, Mohamed Bello Abubakar, said: “A man with ten wives would collapse and die but my own power comes from Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them.”
Fathering 170 plus children is no mean feat. The energy and expenses involved are overly enormous, to say the least. It is said that they take 36 kilos of rice in a single meal. This, quite apparently, costs a lot of money (and quite a fortune to this man who has no job to rely on).
But Mohamed faces death as per Sharia Law for having wives that are more than four. {According to the Muslim faith, men are allowed to have up to four wives and not more than that.}
Despite imminent death due to his “offence”, Mohamed feels it up to him to challenge the Sharia Law. He says that Prophet Muhammad made the retribution for sins such as adultery and fornication clear but he did not say what punishment a man who has more than four wives should go through. So, this 84-year-old man does not see anything wrong with having as many wives as he has (though he discourages other men not to go his way and have as many wives as he has).
The good thing is that he has a choice. He can divorce a whopping 82 “wives” and remain with only 4.
My heart goes out to this man who is faced with a very tough decision. This is a perfect example of a dilemma (one that literature teachers can cite in their explanation of this stylistic device!)
I wonder what criteria he’ll use to drive 82 women out of his life (that’s if he still wants to live and not be on Sharia “Death Row”). Will the children go with the women too? I reckon there are so many questions going through his mind. His 84-year-old brain is having its fair share of trouble!
So many people have reacted to this story in different kinds of ways. I like the comment of one man on BBC yesterday. He said: “Where was the Sharia Law when this man was accumulating his women? Why didn’t the custodians of Sharia not move swiftly when he (Mohamed) crossed the 4 wives mark?”
Food for thought, this.

Fastest man in the world
Olympis fear is rocking every where, each and every sports are reaching the final stages.. Usain Bolt of Jamaica has smashed the world record in the 200 metres final on Wednesday, to take the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
Bolt, who is about to turn 22, left his competitors in his wake as he blitzed the field to finish in just 19.30 seconds.
Bolt has now won the coveted 100 metres and 200 metres gold medals at the Olympic Games, as well as holding the title of fastest man in the world.
'It is a dream that comes true,' Bolt said after the race. 'I have been aspiring for the world record for so long.'
Many Jamaicans in the crowd burst into tears as news came that the world record had been broken.
Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles won the silver, and Wallace Spearmon of the United States the bronze.

Rural Poverty in Kenya
In this post we will see about the rural poverty in Kenya,
Over the past 30 years, poverty has been on the rise in Kenya. Poverty seems to be a paradox in a country that has the best-developed economy in eastern Africa, with relatively advanced agricultural and industrial sectors and substantial foreign exchange earnings from agricultural exports and tourism. Yet Kenya is a low-income country, with per capita income averaging about US$360. It ranks 148th among 177 countries in the United Nations Development Programme’s human development index, which measures a country’s development in terms of life expectancy, educational attainment and standard of living.
More than half of the country’s 31.3 million people are poor, and 7.5 million of the poor live in extreme poverty. About 80 per cent of the population, including three out of four poor people, live in rural zones. Most Kenyans live in areas having a medium to high potential for agriculture, which comprise about 18 per cent of the country’s territory. Population density in high-potential areas is more than six times the country’s average of 55 persons per km2. While the poorest of the poor are found in the sparsely populated arid zones of the country, mainly in the north, over 80 per cent of rural poor people live in higher-potential areas surrounding Lake Victoria and in the Mount Kenya region.
Since 1979, IFAD has invested a total of US$115.0 million in 12 loan-financed projects/programmes and three grant-financed programmes supporting the Government’s efforts to reduce rural poverty. Investments include US$18.0 million in grants under the Belgian Survival Fund Joint Programme (BSF.JP). IFAD has also mobilized additional cofinancing of about US$68.0 million from other donors. The Government of Kenya and project beneficiaries have contributed about US$56.0 million and US$11.0 million respectively.

India : Are foreigners safe??????
Now days, molestation activities against the foreign people are increasing day by day in India. For ex. Goa murder case. So many foreigners are visiting our country each and every year to see many interesting places and cool spots in our country. But because of some people, they get molested and suffering a lot in India. I don’t know how much security level is given to these people in our country. If these activities continued in our country then it will surely affect our country name through worldwide and in turn it will affect the Indian tourism. So Indian govt. should try to get a solution for this major problem as soon as possible. At the same time foreigners should be aware of these kinds of things in India before reaching here.

Women - Is it possible to live independently in this world?
In this modernized world every thing has been changed, mainly the life style. At the same time here no one worrying about the past things and just living their life as per their desire, it is correct only nothing wrong in that. Each and every one is having full rights to live the life as per their interests and so on. But the thing is how far this society allows them to live like that. The answer is No. Leave about the men, let us discuss about Women. Is it possible for a women to live independently in this world, without the support of others? Even though if she tries to live, my question is will this society allow her to live peacefully. Here too the answer is No.

Last week only I watched this movie. Here I am going to relate this movie to this post. In this movie they showed the kind of problems that a women will face if she lives independently in this world. This movie really attracted me a lot, especially the screen play. I felt like 12 years old boy while i watched this movie. If you people get free time try to watch this movie and then comment in this post.

“Love”…with an Eye on the Prize!
I don’t refute the claim that there is true love (and I know many people who are beneficiaries of this bug). But I know there are people who take advantage of people’s feelings in the pretext of “loving” them.
There are some women (and men) who would give their eye teeth to get hooked to a rich white man or woman with a long-term aim of settling abroad. This is very rife in Africa (particularly in Kenya).
The allure of the West has turned into an anthem to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to bid farewell to penury and (beggary). Many young people have the notion that if they go to the UK or the USA, their lives will change drastically (for the better!)
Most of them have found out that there is no easy way of hastening their steps to the $ and the £, than waltzing their way into the lives of male and female (white) tourists in the hope that they will eventually be whisked to the lands that they have always desired to travel to (and hopefully settle in).
Getting a Visa to countries such as the UK and the USA can prove hard because of the exhaustive (and equally exhausting!) procedures that are involved. But this is no hurdle to these gold digging young men who could traverse the most expansive ocean to get to the lands (and the money & opportunities) they aspire.
They tend to believe that falling in love with their white friends and getting married to them is a sure fire way of circumventing this obstacle. {But is it a solution, really?}
You’d care to see what some of the young men get married to: some very old, (moneyed, yes!), scrawny hags that would pass for anyone’s grandmother or better still, great grandmother!
I call such kind of love: “Love… with an Eye on the Prize!”

My Evasive Nyama Choma
News that at least four abattoirs had been closed down in Nairobi sometime this week hit me hard. In fact it was a slap across my broad face. Nyama choma (roasted meat) and my mouth are sworn blood brothers. Yeah, and literally so.
So, news that some principal slaughter houses in Nairobi had been closed down really jolted me. I started asking myself how I would get by the week with the thought that come weekend there might not be enough meat to serve the city thus I would end up not tasting my delicacy.
My employer might have noticed my disenchantment with life itself for he called me the other day asking what was “eating” me. He also pointed out that my work output was lackluster (to use his word). He said this was unlike me.
If only he knew what was bugging me, he might have sent me packing. Thank God he couldn’t read the thoughts that were doing their rounds in my head!
The authorities say that these abattoirs are in a sorry state sanitation-wise. They are very dirty and pose health risks to the “nyama choma” patrons (like yours truly).
But, seriously speaking, I thought fire can kill all manner of germs, worms and other such health risks that can “append their poison” in the meat I love so much. Roasted meat goes through fire, doesn’t it?
Can someone please, puliiiiz, do something about this state of affairs. I, like so many other Nairobians, need to get back to work with all the energy I can and could muster. This is energy that I can only get from my favourite delicacy “Nyam Chom”.
You slaughter house guys, clean up your act and make sure there is enough Nyama Choma to drown the city the moment I step out of the house this weekend. Somebody reading this?

Because through these informations we will make our trip as an easier one without worrying about air fares and place of staying and so on. Here in this site they just compare all the details like fares, quality of service and so on. So through this we will get any information about every thing. I hope that this post will help you all a lot. So just make use of it in a better way and enjoy your journey.
World : Bribe for everything....... When will this change?
Here I am going to discuss a much-needed topic for today’s society. I am straight away entering into the subject. The first thing is in my country(India), bribe was spread all over the country. From all the government offices to small sectors it was there. It’s hard to get a job finished from government offices without bribe. Here I will list out some of the worst things in my country,
i.) Accepting bribes in Govt. hospitals for doing Pregnancy and other Critical Operations.
ii.) Accepting bribes at traffic signals and leaving all the culprits.
iii.) Accepting bribes in all the Govt. offices to get a job done.
iv.) To give a College/University seat accepting bribes.
v.) For getting license, passport etc, accepting bribes.
And so on…………………………… This post is not enough to list out all the things here. Here I listed out 0.1%. Still lot more there.
I don’t know whether these things are happening only in our country or all over the world. You people just share your views here about this and answer this question.

The word Love: Does it mean anything to you?
It was the day before Christmas, and Della had exactly one dollar eighty seven cents to buy Jim a present. She did the only thing she could do. She went out and sold her hair for twenty dollars. And with the proceeds she bought a platinum fob for Jim's precious watch.
Jim came home at night, when he saw Della's shorn head he stopped as if stupefied. It was not that he did not like it or did not love her anymore. She was lovelier than ever. Slowly he handed her his gift. His gift was a set of expensive tortoise-shell combs and he had sold his gold watch to buy them for her.Each had given the other all he or she had to give. Real love cannot think of any other way to give.
This, I think, is the true meaning of love: Giving your best for the benefit of another person without asking what you'll get out of it.

Why are People not ready to go for an HIV/AIDS test?
One friend of mine told me something to the effect that he would rather not know his HIV status (and live happily) than know that he has Aids and die of despair and despondency.
Many countries around the world have taken HIV/AIDS very seriously so much so that Voluntary Counselling and Testing clinics are in virtually every town. Home testing kits, too, are easy to come by. But people are still jittery about getting to know their HIV status. Why is this so? Would you be ready to go for a HIV test if asked to do so?

Public smoking should be outlawed
For a safer Generation, please ponder on these two points:
· There is something I plead with these cigarette companies to do first:
Sirs, there are some words written at the bottom of the cigarette packets. They say:
“Cigarette smoking is harmful to your health.”
But they are written in very small print. Please make the writing a bit bigger so that everyone can see them and decide whether or not they want to proceed with smoking.
· All governments, the world over, should ban smoking in public areas. At least this will reduce the number of people who suffer from lung cancer (and other diseases) due to passive smoking.
At least there are some governments that have taken the cue!
For instance, the government of Holland recently (in the past few days) passed a law forbidding people from smoking in public areas. The law will take effect as from January next year.
Will more governments follow this trend?

Cricket or Football - Which one you like?
Today many kinds of sports are there, which are having some uniqueness in it. Each and every sport is having some specialty and grace among the people. But the Cricket and Football are two giants, which is conquering this whole world through the popularity. From my point of view, compared to cricket football is having more popularity in each and every part of this world. Here in India cricket is more popular than football. I am not having any idea about other countries. You people just tell which you like most and also share the reason why you like it.

I want you people to share your views about the terrorism from your point of view and the things that you have experienced in your country because of terrorism.

I mean they are using this as the medium to get contact with many people and they are getting involved in crimes like murders, rapes, kidnaps and so on.
Orkut now become too worse because of the things like fake profiles, illegal contacts, murders, etc,. For this i don't know whom i should blame. The Google should take some actions against these type of things or else the public should be aware of these things. But no one is caring about this. Here i will list out some links so please check it out,
