No-fly zone in Syria could be a game changer

The US should not try to depose Mr. Assad and should leave this matter to the warring groups in Syria.

It would make the Syrian regime and Syrian opposition quasi-equals if not equals.

Prominent Citizen Journalists across the nation selected as Columnists by the merinews editorial team based on their profile and participation

Anu Goel How roles are defined for women and why they must correct this balance

Yamin Zakaria Internet Porn: Women, Children and Pets

The British utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham once said, 'Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure.' It seems what he said in the 18th century still holds firm today. About 15 to 30% of the World Wide Web's traffic is porn and that is quite substantial when you think in terms of sales revenue from a global product, for example Coca Cola.
