» Hirokazu Kore-eda's Shoplifters will open in Thailand on Aug 2, two months after the film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival.

» If crime novelists are to be believed, the world is filled with serial killers -- five victims qualifying them for the role. Tyrants Hitler and Stalin, with tens of millions victims to their discredit, are overqualified. They were butchers. No accepted term in-between.

Police racism
Life, Published on 20/04/2015
» Racism is as old as recorded history, quite possibly older. My god is better than your god. My colour is better than your colour. Difference resulting in sanguinary wars without solution.
