    About this ebook

    Why do men spit (and women don't)? What's the real problem with cellphones? What's wrong with wedding leave? Do you remember Grade Ten History? Why isn't being a soldier more like being a mother? What did God really promise? And let's talk about sex...


    Philosophy with attitude.
