Yes, the Brazilians are still the centerpiece of South American economic growth, yet there are competitors arising. While Venezuala faces a period of uncertainty with the potential replacement of Hugo Chavez, Argentina offers a renewed challenge to the Falklands under Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

Why YOU should vote Republican (Part 2)

If you read the other article, you’re probably a newly converted Democrat. Re-reading my post, I realized how I made the Republican Party look like a bunch of bumbling buffoons. To be fair, I’d classify Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden in the bumbling buffoon category as well. However, the Republican Party is worthy of a vote, and there are plenty of good reasons to commit to Mitt Romney. Sure, he engaged in activities such as buying twitter followers, ...

Guest Blog Post: A response to why you should vote Democrat

Editor's Note: This is a thorough response for "Why YOU should vote Democrat". The pictures and captions are from myself, to add some commentary. It is written by John Inglis, a Political Science graduate from the University of Ottawa.  I appreciate that you concede that the Americans will have a new President in 2013, haha. I can agree that Democrats had white-supremacist members, but that lasted for a long time- the Deep South was...

The Official Guide to Paul Ryan

I was about to write up a post on Paul Ryan, but I've been realizing lately that this blog has been lacking creativity and some graphics. So, I opened Photoshop. Now, this really doesn't cover nearly all the points about Paul Ryan, but it gives a good introduction to the guy. I know the poster looks a bit like a negative portrayal of the running mate of Mitt Romney , but I can't make the truth what it isn't. Paul Ryan has been supporting government...

Yes We Can! (have an Educated Debate)

I’m going to take a break here for a second, and address the internet. Yes internet, I am looking at you. Listen closely; I have a little anecdote to share. In elementary school, we had a student council which I headed, and I remember one kid really wanted to be on it. He said he had good ideas, was enthusiastic, and seemed fairly bright. There were two problems. He came from a rather wealthy family, so a lot of kids out of pure jealousy grew a dislike for him. Secondly, some of his ideas were blatantly ridiculous. For example, he thought...

Spiritual Speculation: Christianity (Part 1)

I have decided to do a five part series on religion. I will do a post on the four largest religions/beliefs in the world: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Atheism – and wrap it up with a conclusion. Admittedly, atheism is not so much a religion but simply disbelief in deities. However, atheism has grown heavily over the years, most likely because there is no concrete evidence for the existence of a supernatural entity of sorts. Most likely, I will get flack for these posts – but I will reach some sort of conclusion with each religion and...
