Controversial Saturday: Rape.

India has one of the worlds worst annual rate of rape cases and very few of the men are ever brought before the courts. The one’s that are usually get of on technicalities.

Campaigners in India are calling for tougher penalties for sex offenders after a massive rise in the number of rapes.

According to the latest government figures, a woman is now raped in India every 20 minutes.

But despite the increase in sex attacks the number of convictions is falling.

In the last 12 months, there have been a number of high profile cases which have caused outrage across the nation.

WARNING of Disasters to come.

Earth in this past few years has been hit by more and bigger disasters, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc, etc.

In my childhood i can remember playing outside all summer long from early morning until it was dark. In my youth it was the same, playing football and other games. But the winters were very bad, snow, frost etc, but things have changed for the worst.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL of my friends who visit, comment and READ my posts.

and also to new visitors who are calling in for the first time.
