RE: Abortion
I do not support abortion. I think it's just cruel to bring to halt a life inside a mother's womb. Its murder. Abortion for medical reasons and emergencies can be understood and should be encouraged for the well being of mother. But no other reason should justify abortion.
RE: Mandatory Sentencing

RE: Was Corona a population reduction strategy??

RE: Dream Interpretations
Many times dreams are forgotten. In our part of the world, they say dreams seen in the morning, just before waking up will come true. Strangely people believe it. I do not have any proof of such dreams coming true. Basically, I feel dreams are just a sort of replay or...

I have not had any incident of near death experience so far and as such won't be the best person to comment on this. But I have heard or read about such experiences which to say the least is hair rising. Many such incidents involved hospitals where the patient is...
