It has been on the net that Rev. Moon, owner of the conservative Washington Times newspaper, gave No. Korea Soviet nuclear submarines. Not everything thats on the net is true, this could easily be one of those cases. Mainstream news had not touched this story, I was wondering if anyone might be in a position to know one way or another whether it is true or not.

This is such a sad event. My prayers are with the families...

The main question that i am seeing is what made them take the wrong runway.

my question is did the plane explode and make it impossible to survive. because from what the today show was talking about this morning is that it turned into an incinerator and burned everyone.
if it HASN'T exploded, why couldn't anyone get to the doors to get out?

OK, I'm sat down at my computer and i could feel an evil wad of air building inside of me. Almost by surprise, this wedge of air ROARED it's way out of my as$, slamming into my chair.

Startled, i tried to compose myself, before realising a small chunk of poo had been catapulted out with the pelt of air.

This isn't the worst of it though; i'm at work surrounded by three work colleagues. How do i get out of my seat without them realising the hellish deposit which is now sat silently taunting me inside of my pants?

The smell is almost getting overwhelming now, in fact it is getting that bad that my eyes are beginning to water.

What should i do? How can i get my work colleagues out of the room so that i can make a run for it without anyone "noticing" my mishap? Security at the front entrance are sure to notice the weapons-grade skid mark on my as$, so how can i escape the building quickly and unnoticed? Should i risk the fire escape?

HELP!

Thanks.

Why is the media always so negative?

Last week it was reported that an Austrian teenager was held prisoner for eight years in a dungeon by a deranged man who forced her to call him master.

Typically the so called responsible media only concentrated on the negative aspects.

But in fact it was really a success story for home schooling.

"The police officer said she had been surprised by Ms Kampusch's "intelligence, her vocabulary" and that she had been "educated" by her captor, who gave her books and access to TV and radio."

Who else thinks the media missed the point with this story?

This was the first I had heard this, but it really epitomizes what the radical Islamists have in mind for all of us if we don't win the war on terror. What do you think?

Here's my plan- Vacation ends when summer ends- September 21st. Summer book reports and homework are terminated for all grades except college. When school begins, students should be given sick and vacation days. They should be taught to use them wisely in order to prepare for real life. They would be given to 7th graders through High school, then stopped in college. Every school should also be off on Friday. Finally, there should be a HR office in which students can report bullying. This will loosen up the work load for the principal.

I was wondering because I was reading top headline on the Yahoo frontpage and it was "What have we learned from Katrina?". Now Im not looking for answers to that question but doesnt it seem like there are more important things right now than looking back at Katrina AGAIN. I have seen hundreds of articles that say almost exactly the same thing, personally I think that the news should report news not history or opinionated suggestion peices like this. What do you think?

Why is the government responsiable to people who build 3500 feet BELOW sealevel warned 30 years to the day of the storm what would happen? And if you build there again thinking to beat up another Katrina should we let you be swept away with it? I mean one month before the storm NGTV had a special about what would happen. The govt didnt force you to move there. jBut we pay fo;r it?

americans.

I am personally offended by it; and think it shows a lack of respect to the English-speaking taxpayers of America.

Last time I checked my taxes were filed in English Mr. Governor.
