This new article is dedicated to you, people from USA, Great Britain, Australia, Germany... for all of you, who live in democratic countries. It is a story about my home-country, the Czech republic and its fight for freedom and democracy. And I think it can help you to gain some very important and interesting information!
Exactly twenty years ago, the famous Velvet revolution started in the Czech republic and it finally brought freedom and democracy to the country. During the communist rule, there were political murders, violence and other terrible crimes against the humanity. Read the story about 40 years of totalitarian regime and the final fight for freedom!
As of October 28th, the GLBT community of the United States of America is now protected under the hate crimes laws. It took them almost 6 years after Canada got their laws changed, but they finally did!
It's that time of year when deviants carve pumpkins, watch horror flicks, and break out their spookiest costumes for themselves, their OCs, and their favorite fictional characters. Enjoy some of dA's more underappreciated Halloween art!
Weve all heard about it by now; the H1N1 virus, or originally called Swine Flu and though there are plenty of theories where it came from or how much of a problem it may be, I have done a bit of research over the last few months and have come up with a small bite of information that people can read should they become concerned, or just want to know a bit more before they accuse someone of having the virus, or if you yourself think you may
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is offering the public a chance to make Olympic history by designing an Olympic medal for the Youth Olympic Games.
People around the world are being invited to submit their designs for the medals to be awarded at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) which will be held in Singapore next year, from 14 to 26 August 2010.
Today we commemorate the first anniversary of one of the most horrific Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and against humanity in general. On this day last year, the Zionist entity with all its advanced and sophisticated weapons, paid for by the US and the EU, launched a 23-day war on the unarmed and besieged civilian population of the Gaza Strip.
The holidays and new year are here/coming up, and you know not everyone here has money to spend on others, or enough time to draw something even if they really want to... but everybody could give the gift of kindness and appreciation! Even people without money or time can give a gift of happiness~ Sometimes even one small act of kindness can change someone's reaaallly bad day to a rrreeeeeaaaalllly good day! <3
I'm glad that people are taking a stand against it. People shouldn't be persecuted for any beliefs. Uganda's gay death penalty legislation is unjust. Hitler was wrong to put homosexuals in concentration camps during the Holocaust, and Uganda is wrong to give people the death penalty just for having a different sexual orientation.
Christmas has come once again and the holidays are a time that most enjoy family and loved ones. During this time I ask for everyone to realize the true Reason for the season. During this month in my journals I will only be posting up scripture from the Bible and hope that all can get some joy and understanding what the season is truly about and can slow down from the hussle and bussle to enjoy all that God has blessed you with in your life. Enjoy your holiday and be blessed.
Genesis 32:28 Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Isreal, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome."
Job 5:17 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almight.
Job 5:18 For He wounds, but He also binds up; He injures, but His hands also heal.
Psalm 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Proverbs 10:29 The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
Proverbs 10:27 What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.
Isaiah 66:2 Has not My hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the Lord. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My word."
I Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Well said TS, if we may add something that one of our writers stated in a poll on one our fellow Deviant's page...The question was when it was good to tell your kids the real truth about Santa Claus, and had this to say.....
"My son is 3...but I am instilling in him the knowledge that it's not so much that Santa doesn't exist, but that Santa's spirit exists within us all at all ages and at all times, Christmas may have been a shitty time for me, but I never let it cloud my judgement as far as the happiness of other people...give of yourself and be merry always, for only then will the true spirit of Christmas make itself visible and no amount of presents or wealth can ever measure up to making others happy! It's not about religions or gods or trees or sales...it's about being a better person and making those around you better people for it!
IF U EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE THIS MOVIE [link] ...I THINK IS A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE, AND I THINK IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MY BEST WISHES TO YOU AN YOURS FOR 2009
I totally agreed with you right up until that last part about it not being about Religions? to some Christmas is all about Religion as a Christian Christmas is a time for me to celebrate the birth of a man that came to earth to die for the sins of men. without that little child we were all condemned to a life without Faith or Hope or even a relationship with the heavenly Father. now that is just my view and I know not everyone will agree with me. I have nothing against Santa he even comes to our house but my kids know that he is what he is and that in our house Christmas is about Christ.
Besides everyone thinks it sucks when someone forgets your birthday?

I think what he was trying to say is that sometimes the religous aspect of Christmas gets lost along the way, with people trying to search for the perfect gift, or the perfect card, and they forget that the best gift given was God's only son so that man could be free and find everlasting joy in the Lord's kingdom of Heaven.
