Afrikaans
“… In one of the furniture shops i came across a saleslady and a client. the client was afrikaans. i knew this because she spoke afrikaans. the saleslady spoke english. it was an endearing experience to witness. the lady spoke in afrikaans and the sales lady replied in english. this went on for about ten minutes. both could understand each other. neither tried to speak the other’s language.
where else can you do that besides in south africa.” ~ eKapa
Officially, the youngest language in the world is Afrikaans. By the early-20th century Afrikaans had developed from Dutch, French and other influences into a fully fledged language with its own dictionary. After a mere 90 years, it is the second most spoken language in South Africa. Zulu is the most spoken – the Zulu people being the largest ethnic group.

The Talent Exchange
Community Exchange System (South Africa)
“Caught in the money trap? Break free by joining the Talent Exchange
Conventional money causes poverty because it is based on debt. It comes into existence when banks grant loans. This determines the quantity of money, which has nothing to do with the amount of money people need to live decent lives. Talent Exchange ‘money’ is created by its members so it can never be in short supply. So long as you can offer something of value to the community you can have from the community goods and services of like value. Join the growing community who have discovered a new way of ‘doing’ money.”

Abstinence Only
Okay, let’s say you’re at a party innocently hugging or kissing someone and find your hands begin to wander or your groin start to press rhythmically against them: Don’t Panic! This is the Lord’s way of saying that this is exactly the right person for you to spend the rest of your life with. In practically no time at all you’ll be settling down and having lots of children together in a celebration of goodness and obedience to each other and the Lord. Until that time however, what’s important is that you not let them get away! Masturbating each other through your clothing or underwear is a good way to keep faith partners both chaste and interested during those critical few weeks before you get married.

PAST LIVES PT 2.
A lot of things have been happening in my life, especially lately, to make me really think about the whole past lives thing. I used to think it was possible, because without knowing for sure you couldn’t say for definites that it’s nonesense. But the whole idea is becoming such a reality for me now. I have always felt that I’m a spirit trapped inside a body, a body I can’t quite relate to as being my own shell, but it keeps my feet planted on the ground, just about.
When I instantly recognise someone’s soul from the instant I meet them… only to discover they are exactly who I knew they were from the beginning… I start to wonder in which context I knew them before. As a friend, brother, lover… teacher… someone who would have been in a position to have made a lasting impression on me definitely. Not the lady at the corner shop…
The other day I blogged about the genographic project and it got me to thinking for the first time that maybe my memories from past lives are genetic memories. Just like instincts are passed down from generation to generation in animals, maybe my memories of these people and past experiences are trapped in my cells, and if I listen really closely to my instincts I can draw on the knowledge at any time.
Maybe our souls are actually not some floaty spirit things that hover around us but lifetimes trapped inside our DNA. If you consider that your DNA is made up from billions of other peoples DNA, this would explain the feeling of one-ness with the universe that can be reached in moments of ecstacy.
I’m just toying with the idea now, because I can’t quite get to grips with the fact that I live in a body. I do feel like a spirit, pretty much all the time… but this new idea is starting to take root.
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
