Apparently: "... A handful of new studies suggest surprising changes in the marital landscape. Infidelity appears to be on the rise, particularly among older men and young couples. Notably, women appear to be closing the adultery gap: younger women appear to be cheating on... Love really is blind, or at least blinkered
"Love is blind, said Shakespeare. Now it seems there may be some truth in the bard's words. Researchers have found that people who are in love pay less visual attention to attractive... Where have all the feminists gone? (Opinion)
I'm home in Ireland at the moment, so I'm catching up with Irish media. I don't read as much Irish media as I should when I'm in England. I'm hoping to highlight a few pieces which have caught my eye. First this one, on why feminism is as important now as it ever has been.... Homeless In A Town Of Empty Houses
Is it better for empty property to be left to gather dust and mice or for someone broke and broken to "break in" and shelter there for a while ? I spent a bit of time homeless recently , during the winter of 2006 ... Who are the British creationists?
Well, well. Who would have thunk it! I thought that Britain was becoming more, and not less, secular. We can but hope that that swings around again. "Widely believed in America, creationism - the belief that God... Safe in our cages (opinion)
Here is yet more evidence of Big Brother Britain. "In the Queen's speech this autumn Gordon Brown's government will announce a scheme to institute a database of every telephone call, email, and act of online usage by every resident of the UK.

Where have all the real men gone? (opinion)

There's quite a lot to say about this piece, but I don't want to copy and paste the whole thing here. "I know. Saving the... 525 views | 33 comments | 24 recommendations
How is your 'fear of crime'? (opinion)
I'm posting three incidents which took place in my city recently (Oxford, England). It's made me think again about my 'fear of crime'.

" Herb Dhaliwal Marries Chandigarh’s Teacher Neetu Kang"I had sex with my brother but I don't feel guilty
This is a personal story (not mine). I'm not highlighting this as a salacious story, but because it's a subject I'm genuinely interested in. Sexual relationships between siblings, then.

Crime falls, but stabbings not just an urban problem
I'm pretty fascinated (and concerned) by knife crime, and the manner in which it has gone from 'nought to 60 in 3.4 seconds'. According to this piece from the Times, it is not (as one may expect) just an urban issue. "Gordon Brown promised more beat officers to help tackle... 310 views | 10 comments | 17 recommendations

I've never yet tallied the two up in my mind, but perhaps this is a valid point. In my daily life, I try to think about the language that I use, to try to see if it may be offensive.
