Are you a Global Citizen?

I’ve always thought the concept of patriotism and especially nationalism to be a very weird and most likely stupid and illogical idea.  It just makes no sense to me that people from any individual country can believe on whatever level that they are in the best country in the world or that they are in… Continue reading Are you a Global Citizen?

Changing The World, One Step At A Time

I’ve been extremely busy the last week or so which isn’t normally a reason not to blog post but that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.   I’ve been very busy with working on my V1 book and other real-life issues.  Additionally I was also approached to write for a new Facebook Page and… Continue reading Changing The World, One Step At A Time

Sunni and Shia Islam – All you Need To Know – Islam 101

You’d have to be living on another planet not to hear about the seemingly endless troubles in the Middle-East.  To many in the west, Muslims are Muslims but it is much more complex than that with an ancient schism dominating the religion and threatening to engulf the world whether we know about it or not.… Continue reading Sunni and Shia Islam – All you Need To Know – Islam 101

Before General Election in May, I penned the post “Who To Vote For When All The Political Parties Suck”  In the last… Continue reading Jeremy Corbyn – Power to the people!

The Idiots guide to Greece, Euro problems and defaulting on debt.

Granted this might not be the most exciting titled blog I’ve ever written but it is probably the one that makes most sense.  I’ve decided to write my easy to understand guide to Greece and the Euro based on common-sense and my memories of international economics classes. Greece has given the world much.  Ideals of… Continue reading The Idiots guide to Greece, Euro problems and defaulting on debt.
