Why are there So Many Homosexuals today?

Feminist revolution in the world By David Zephaniah I witnessed the feminism revolution in 70’s and 80’s in this country and some other countries. Many good things have happened in a way of taking women out of obscurity and giving them equal rights at home and in workplace. The women of today are no longer second class citizens and enjoy all the benefits that this society has to offer. There are countries out there where a woman is still very much a second class citizen and has very little rights. It is happening in most Muslim countries. For example, in Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed even to drive cars. There are some other countries, such as Israel and Russia, where women never were second class citizens, and they have always enjoyed equality. Some of them are working and supporting their families, and some are willingly staying home to take care of their children and families. Social revolution However, this revolution brought unwanted side

American Dream is gone

About the American Dream By David Zephaniah When you look at America today, everything is seemingly fine. The rhythm of life goes on and people are busy on their way to work, school, running errands and playing with their dogs… To a casual observer, without thinking about it, it would all seem fine and dandy in the United States. A casual observer sees a technologically and socially developed country that is rich, democratic and is the envy of many nations. Because of this envy, many people from countless poor countries are dreaming of living here. However the casual observer is wrong! In this article,  I will point out that regardless to what it seems, the American Dream is dying. We have lost some important values and principles that are the core of happiness and satisfaction. About Holidays in America I have been in America for over 20 years, and I have seen a steady decline of respect for holidays by countless greedy corporations. Whethe

These are people with no culture at all!

  The culture in the good old times By David Zephaniah I have heard countless stories about “Back in a day”. Older people told me how the whole neighborhood used to work together and knew each other. They told me about days when kids played in the streets with no fear. The days when you observed your neighbor’s child doing something wrong, and you intervened and tried to help them. That was a normal and acceptable thing to do. What is the USA culture today? Since those days, you would think that our civilization would get better, would have a higher culture and it would make sense to assume that neighborhoods would get safer. It is not crazy to assume that people would be more cultured with each other and set  things to a brighter future. Why do some of you think that this is a crazy idea? It only makes sense, that unless we screwed something up in a process, the world would develop in a positive direction. That is our goal, isn’t it? If we play a

Make room for God in your life and live happier

To say that the world is random, is absurd. Even cookies can't bake themselves randomly! OK, so you can't make up your mind between God and science. On one hand, to be on the safe side, you want to believe that God is true. On the other hand, because of your "busy" lifestyle, you don't have time to think about God. Who is God anyway? Is Jesus God? But he died in the hands of men. Can God die? In addition, it seems to you that crime rate is increasing as time goes on. You know that the world peace doesn't seem close. You dismiss the thought because you are too busy. You are busy with your dog, iPhone, TV shows, celebrity gossip, Facebook, etc. who the hell has the time to think about serious things nowadays? But wait, you are thinking; Maybe God is real, but this life is not real. It is just some kind of matrix drama. Maybe one day we will wake up from this dream and laugh about it? But really! What about if God is real? Will we get puni

Most of the American Jews are not Jews Any More

by: David Zephaniah The American Jew There is a real rift today between Israeli and American Jews. Many American Jews don’t agree with the Israeli policies and resent them. Just to enumerate a few policies; the issue of settlement in Judea and Samaria, lack of flexibility to make peace with the Palestinians, strict rules of conversion to Judaism, etc. Those are very serious issues. The American Jews “judge” Israel on daily basis, and while they are sitting comfortably in the USA, they want to dictate them about right or wrong. Lets examine the issue closely. Lets ask a major question; why are the American brethren so against the policies in Israel (at least large majority of them)? And, additionally, who are those American Jews? I am a Jew of (Soviet) Georgian descent. My whole  family lives in Israel. I have been living in the USA for over 20 years and encountered thousands upon thousands of American Jews. I want to give you my assessment of them. This essay will ex
