You are never alone in the park

What is your relationship to animals (such as pigeons) in the city?  What should their relationship to humans be?  Do they make city life more interesting for its human residents, or do they belong in the countryside and are only a nuisance in urban areas?


Just don’t get sick while you are there

Sorry for posting another article on migrants, but it is an important topic these days, and this one deals with the controversial practice of providing healthcare to migrants without legal status.  Are you persuaded by this writer's arguments?  Should Slovakia follow in the lead of the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Portugal and provide limited care for those who need it?

Did I just apologise in the post above? Perhaps I should cut that out...

This is the last post you can comment on for October.


It certainly makes sense that American women would apologise more than say American men.  What other factors come into play to make someone an apologiser?   Does culture come into play?  How much do Slovaks apologise?  As an individual, do you think you apologise too little or too much?  What about your society?
