Since English is now basically the global language and the key language of trade and commerce- should we think about revising many spellings to enable people to pronounce words properly.

I do not mean like using phonetic symbols to duplicate accents directy; I mean like:

knife= naife
caught= kort
said= sed
henceforth= henssforth
Newcastle= Nyucarssel
London= Lunden
Mahoney= Maonee/Marnee
tube= tyoob
cook= kook
scissors= sizzors

It would rely less on obsolete French based spellings and resemble more like German or Dutch?
Maybe incorporate umlauts?
what do you think?

Cremation, bury him in your yard in a nice box, some people actually have them stuffed and sit them around the house.

It hurts me tremendously just to think about my dogs dying. But we have to prepare for their death just like we would our own. If your the kind of owner that actually cares about your pet. Especially my chihuahua, he is so human like some times its freaky. When he goes I'll probably need a prescription for Xanax, he definitely has my heart.

I have been working on a real brain teaser here. If you started a new NFL expansion team, what 3 players would you choose. The only thing is that these 3 players have to be on a 2007 NFL roster, active, and they cannot be probowlers from the last 3 years (2004-06). Pretty difficult puzzle? Let me hear from you.

There are NUMEROUS cases of children being raped, molested, murdered. I'm SICK to my stomach over this. I'm sick of hearing about another child being raped or killed. If you do a local search of sex offenders in your area you will find you are surrounded by many, regardless whether you're in a large or small city. I personally feel there is a mental illness epidemic going on to cause so much sick violence in this world we live in, I know deep in my heart if peoples minds were healthy there would not be all this sick crap going on. But what should we do?? How can we stop this. Why are our children surrounded by sick, evil perverts everywhere? And why in the HELL are these sickos being allowed out of jail so easily?? WHAT do you think is a good solution to all of this?? Why isn't the president making THIS a priority????

One can have standards and behave morally without the threat of eternal damnation. We all know that most people believe in God yet it hasn't made much of a dent in deterring bad behavior. Atheists don't believe in God, heaven or hell, Why aren't the jails filled with these Godless heathens?

Ted Haggard was a God fearing bible thumping leader of a mighty church, and it didn't stop him from doing drugs and cheating on his wife with another man.

Morality is in the hearts and minds of people it can not be coerced into existence.

Is fear of hell the only thing keeping you from killing, raping, and stealing? If you learned today that there was no God, would you run rampant in the streets and begin a life of debauchery? You probably would if God was the only reason you behaved.

Backstage Segment: Nunzio is running back stage trying to find Armando, he turns a corner and sees him, he runs up to Armando and demands a title shot against CM Punk, Armando tells Nunzio that whoever wins a triple threat tonight, will get a title shot, he tells Nunzio to go out to the ring because the match is happening now.

Match 1: Triple Threat - Number 1 Contenders Match: Nunzio vs. ? vs. ?

Nunzio is already in the ring waiting for his 2 other competitors, Kevin Thorns music hits and Nunzios excitement is gone. Kevin Thorn now in the ring, Big Daddy V's music hits, Nunzio faints and is out. Kevin Thorn tricks Big Daddy V out of the ring and he pins Nunzio and wins the match.

Match 2: Kelly Kelly vs. Layla – Special Ref – The Miz

Pointless match, the divas waste it as they try to warm up there special ref (sexually) so they will favor 1 or the other, Armando comes out and says this is pointless, and tells them all to get out of the ring except for Miz, he has to face an already angered Big Daddy V.

Big Daddy V squashes the Miz in 1 minute and pins after giving him the biggest splash ever.

Match 3: CM Punk In Ring Segment – CM Punk comes out to the ring and tells Thorn that he wants him out here right now for the Extreme Rules championship match. Thorn comes out with a stop sign which is attached to a metal pole, he runs in the ring and whacks Punk with the sign. Match goes on for half an hour and ends up being won by Punk after he stacks 3 tables side by side and sets Thorn up on all of them. He then splashes Thorn through all of the tables.
