While Germany holds the European Union presidency, its Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries has, without realizing its wider implications, proposed to ban the Swastika throughout Europe.

The German Government is in danger of stepping onto a most negligently thrown banana skin.

What banana skin? you may ask.

The banana skin of the most gross misuse of the symbol of good - the Swastika, in World War II.

Who was responsible for this irresponsible act?
Non other than a fellow German -- Adolf Hitler.

If a delibrately thrown banana skin (mis-use of the Swastika) causes a fall of someone (Adolf Hitler) then should the government ban all imports of bananas (i.e. ban all displays of the Swastika including those by the Hindus for religious purposes)?

Let the EU think about this.

Unless Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries wants to slip and fall, off her political perch, just like Hitler did.

(The Swastika does have hidden powers)

At the moment i'm a full time carer for my dad who's extremely sick, long term. This is basically a 24/7 job so I have no time for myself ( I know it sounds selfish but everyone needs some time of their own). I have just had to break up a relationship because I have no time to work at it and life is becoming so stressful for me. I would love to be able to make a relationship work because I'm just a much better person when I'm happy with someone in my life to love. I also would just love to be able to see my friends even once a week. Does anyone have any ideas or advice about this? I would never give up my dad for a guy if that's what it came down to though! He needs my help all the time.

Watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas last night which is an adaptation of the novel by Hunter S. Thompson (I haven't read this). Does anyone have an opinion on whether Thompson was making any moral or political point with this novel? The film always leaves me feeling a little unsatisfied that nothing has really been resolved or achieved.

The Australian version of Monopoly is being made and, as a Queenslander, I am rather surprised to learn that Queensland is one of the least popular places in Australia and that South Australia is the most popular place. As such, I'm wondering whether people on Yahoo! agree with the findings of http://www.monopoly.com.au or not?

"To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise...without plunging into the fathomless abyss of dreams and phantasms. I am satisfied, and sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which I have no evidence."
- Thomas Jefferson

Although our constitution gives all of its citizen equal right to education, there are different curriculums in our present education system. Access to these are according to the economic standard of the parent. The CBSE / ICSE schools are affordable only to rich students where they get comparatively better education than their SSC counterparts. Is this right? Another important point is the medium of education. With globalization, the role of English language is more & more important now. But India, a country which looks hopefully at globalization tend to provide English education to rich students only! Why?
My papa & his siblings got educated in British India.They have good command over English.But the point to be noted is that my grandpa was a poor man who worked hard to educate his sons.If my grandpa lived in today's India, his sons could never get English education. why?What u could gain under 4in rule is unthinkble in free India!!! WHY?

Sometimes when I pass below a streetlight it goes out. This has been happening for about 12 years now. It only happens when I pass under certain lights though. There's one I walk under everynight on my way home and last week it happened everytime. There were a lot of other people ahead of me but it didn't happen to them. Sometimes I can do it on purpose just by concentrating hard. I don't try it often 'cos it freaks me out. I tried it last night again AND IT WORKED ! Could it be my aura or something? I used to find it funny but this is something that's really starting to bother me so some serious answers would be appreciated.
