That's awesome. I've seen pictures of the hut and it's really eerie and interesting how it's just 'frozen' in time down there, no pun intended. To think there was something like that hiding outside of plain view, and now they've been able to recreate the recipe to boot, is pretty cool.

Pastors' comments spark fresh debate over Section 377A

Quote:
Singapore actor Lim Yu Beng has joined the growing chorus of netizens condemning recent pleas by two church pastors against the repeal of Section 377A in Singapore.

"To put it simply, Pastor Khong wants it illegal to be homosexual in Singapore. My point is this. Nobody is making it compulsory for him to be gay. Why should he make it compulsory for others to be straight?," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

The respected veteran stage and film actor said he was not questioning the Pastor's beliefs but rather "his right to impose those interpretations on others through legislation".
Lim's comments come amid a growing and bitter debate in the past week over Senior Pastor Lawrence Khong's plea to the government not to overturn Section 377A, which criminalises sex between consenting gay men.

Khong, of Faith Community Baptist Church, called the repeal of the statute "a looming threat to the basic building block (of family) by homosexual activists".

In front of a congregation last weekend that included ESM Goh Chok Tong, who happened to be passing by the church during his regular Marine Parade walkabout, Khong urged the government to provide "moral leadership" and to "protect constitutional rights to free speech and religious liberty"

Another more strident Facebook post by Pastor Yang Tuck Yoong of Cornerstone Community Church came out on Saturday in support of Pastor Khong. In it, he called for the church to "get herself into battle-footing, and be battle-ready."

"This war is winnable and the church will arise victorious... Be ready for a sharp polarising of our society over the gay and lesbian issue and when it happens, you better make sure you know which side you are on," he added.

Thaddeus Wee, who studies postgraduate law at Singapore Management University is among those who took issue with Pastor Khong's "questionable statements".

Similar to how adultery or single mothers or childless married couples went against the idea of a "traditional" family unit, he asked in a Facebook post why gay relationships were deserving of any special attention.

Gay pastor Reverend Miak Siew, executive pastor of Singapore's Free Community Church, also said in a Facebook post Pastor Khong's statements only served to stigmatise the gay and lesbian community.

"The repeal of 377A poses no threat to families bound together by love... you have placed obstacles in how parents understand their children who are different, and create huge rifts in these families," he said.

Heated debate since 2007

A heated debate on the issue began in 2007, when then Member of Parliament Siew Kum Hong filed a petition to repeal Section 377A, which he cited as discriminatory and a violation of constitutional safeguards on equal rights.

However, Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs Ho Peng Kee shot down the petition, highlighting that Singapore is a conservative society and “majority of [Singaporeans may] find homosexual behaviour offensive and unacceptable”.

“While homosexuals have a place in society… repealing Section 377A will be contentious and may send a wrong signal that the government is encouraging and endorsing the homosexual lifestyle as part of our mainstream way of life,” an AFP report quoted Ho as saying at the time.

The appeal to challenge Section 377A will be heard in court on February 14 and was filed after two men who have been partners for 15 years said the law entrenches “stigma and discrimination against lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual people in society”.
Where can I move to where people tolerate others for being hipster, straight, gay, lesbian, transsexual, black, white, yellow, or whatever quirk that makes them stand out from the rest of society?

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

I always did refer to it as "being bombed", just never thought one could die from it. How much more if Yukikaze bombs me? I wouldn't die, because this guy was bombed by the big ones and steam-rolled by the flat loli and still survived

You are going to make all the female members on this forum jealous.

You always wanted to die that way, right? Pervert.

With a comment like this, I am resisting the urge to shout "LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE".

And maybe this is why the romanisation of the Japanese term "big chest" has "OP" as its first letters.

But you wouldn't know you'd die and the last thing you'd see/feel before you die is a pair of nice, big, soft boobies.

Loan Shark Turned Entertainer Dies of Heart Attack

Quote:

22 Jan – Singaporean actor and Getai performer John Cheng, who is also known as Ah Nan among his peers and fans, died of an apparent heart attack last night.

According Straits Times, his wife stated her 52-year-old husband collapsed backstage following a performance in a nightclub in Chinatown.

His sudden death means that he will not be appearing onstage for Chinese New Year concert on 12 February 2013.

Ah Nan made his acting debut in the 1998 film "Money No Enough" followed by "Liang Po Po: The Movie". Before joining show business in 1987, Cheng used to be part of a gang, had gambling problems and was a loan shark runner, which is why he is often casted as thugs and brutal types prone to violence.

He is survived by his wife and three daughters.
I know this is small news in the world, however it is good to know that there are people in this world who turned their life around and made a difference not only for themselves, but to around them.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

University of Toronto student group hosts “epic sex club adventure”

Quote:
It’s being billed online as an epic student sex club adventure — and in other corners of the web, a student orgy.

The University of Toronto Sexual Education Centre (SEC) is kicking off its annual Sexual Awareness Week next Monday at Oasis Aqua Lounge, a downtown club that bills itself as a water-themed adult playground, where swingers are welcome and sex is allowed everywhere but the hot tub.

“U of T is holding an orgy, and you’re invited! You just need your student ID” one Reddit user posted in a University of Waterloo forum.

This puppy is so cute you could eat it, and here's why:

"Ever reacted to the sight of a cute puppy or darling infant by squealing, "I want
to eat you up!"? Or maybe you can't help but want to pinch your grandbaby's
adorable cheeks. You're not alone. New research finds that seemingly strange
aggressive responses to cuteness are actually the norm."
