Decriminalize Rape

Ordinary
markuswashere

Rape is a crime only because we think of it as a crime. We need to critically examine to evaluate the current illegal status of rape. The current majority view that rape is bad or immoral has no basis except that it is an empty mindlessness forced on the people. The gratuitous notion is so negative in that it oppresses people's human sexual passion, sexual freedom and diversity in sexual conducts in human society. I argue that the current contemptuous status of rape must be reexamined and ree...

Cruise Tasik Putrajaya should be stopped

lelaiskandarsuhaimi

I believe the Cruise Tasik Putrajaya, in Putrajaya Malaysia should be stopped. Unlike the Venice reviers, there's nothing much to see in Putrajaya except for the massive government complexes.

Yes, the catamarans and the traditional boats look nice, but apart from that, there's nothing much there.

The place should have a water extreme park instead.
