Back when the country was run by the National Party, and there were working roads, working hospitals, law and order, a semblance of 1st world norms, a viable economy, a formidable military and people weren't dropping dead of AIDS in record numbers, there was the constant outcry over apartheid, resulting in the sanctions, the demonizing of the only working country in Africa and the constant whining about freeing Mandela.

So, the communist/terrorist Mandela is freed and the criminals of the ANC take over.
Twelve years later, under their misrule and blatant corruption, a once beautiful country is being reduced to rubble, the so-called leaders of SA rely on witchdoctors to cure AIDS and spend taxpayer money hand over fist.

Guess what? Not a peep out of the rest of the world. Mandela is deified as a saint (please), and South Africa is considered 'liberated'. And if anyone dares see things as they are, they are condemned as a 'racist' or 'apartheid lover'.

What hypocrisy.

About twenty years ago, I had what I THINK was this book. It was a novel of Toulouse-Lautrec's life, and it was in English. I stupidly lent it to someone who never returned it, and I'm really keen to get another copy. Trouble is, the only novel of Lautrec's life I can find on the net is the above-titled book by a guy called Pierre la Mure. And it's in French so is of absolutely no use to me whatsoever!

Anyone know if there's an English version still in print, and where I could get hold of it, please?

Many thanks.

If you are a single person that is living alone, you will find that the costs rise and multliply. But what I don't understand is, why do you need to have a TV licence? Suposing that the cable packages cover their licence costs. Where does the money go? Could I find out and take legal actions, or simply refuse to pay it?
Where could I go to find out my rights?
The goverment have to realise that we are not as rich as they are and they should stop turning England into America
Please DO NOT put any silly answers
Hope that you can help

My indoor cat likes to sit in the hall outside our bedrooms wailing at night. She doesn't appear to be looking at anything in particular. Why do cats do this?

If you, claiming to know the truth, can't stop sinning, why should anyone listen to you?

In the Revelation's Epilogue, it is written as it follows:

Revelation 22:18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

I have noticed that some translations do add titles to the chapters of the Book of Revelation. For example, the following titles retrived from the New King James Version:

7:1 The sealed of Israel
7:9 A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
15:1 Prelude to the Bowl Judgments
17:1 The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast
