Why I am tired of the atheist vs theist debate by Khaya Dlanga on April 9th, 2008 The reason we will never get to any meaningful conclusion on which we all agree is because most of us enter the debate with a point of view already. Most of the time people are convinced what they believe is right and any other point of view is wrong... An hour with Saru president Oregan Hoskins by Michael Trapido on April 8th, 2008 Oregan Hoskins has been re-elected as the president of the South African Rugby Union, home body of the current world champions, in case you're an All Black supporter and you weren't sure. Two-time winners of the premier event, actually, having compet... Make this American world worth living in again by Tony Jackman on April 8th, 2008 I don't know whether that was a baptism by fire or merely an avalanche, but let's just say that my post in which I listed 10 places I'd sooner live than have a green card has left me feeling kind of dumped on.

It remains one of the most universally accepted principles in a democratic system. Accepting, as we do... Let's put our breasts together for ... by Reader Blog on April 8th, 2008 Submitted by Claire Baker I'm surprised no one else has written about this topic. Perhaps it is too trivial, or perhaps our contributors have been momentarily distracted by what the day has to offer. I'm even more surprised to find myself writing ...

If President Thabo Mbeki forced Uncle Bob to adopt radical chan...

Paul McCartney and the sexagenarian syndrome by Ndumiso Ngcobo on April 8th, 2008 I have no feelings one way or the other about Sir Paul McCartney.
