News & Events - October 2006

I have just read that South Korean Troops have shot at some North Korean Soldiers that had crossed the Demarcation lines between the two countries (did not hit them).
Also North Korea has 1.5million troops on their border,and The south has 700,000 along with 30,000 American troops,surely with all the latest threats and counter threats there is very soon a likelyhood of something kicking off in a big way especially with the added threat of nuclear testing,even China and Japan are showing concerns,what can diffuse this situation?

It is true that there is an unusually high proportion of gays in the TV & media business. If so, would this explain why gay practices are being promoted in almost every facet of news or entertainment? All the main 'soaps' seem to have a gay (or two), one of the main TV channels is almost exclusively gay, reality TV is the same. There is a gay correspondent/commentator in most major broad sheets.

Is this disproportionate representation within the media being used to misrepresent the world in which we live. Is it a deliberate attempt to normailse homosexuality, or just coincidence? I read recently (quote) that it is trendy to be gay. I thought you were either hetero, or homo. Are we being told it is a fashion item?

I saw a clip of FOX News where Congressman (ex) Mark Foley was cited as "D-Florida". Was that an honest mistake--or was it a mis-information attempt?

She does realize that it was her sons' desicion to join up and accept the risks that are involved in such a desicion? That he gave his life for God and Country, so she could waste her time and have her protest, her freedom of speech. Who else feels that her poor son deserves to be honored instead of disrespected by his own mother?

I didn't know that much about mercenaries. Then I began reading about them & what they do. I began to understand. Then I began to understand other things. Lilke the US never intending to leave Iraq. And how several months ago, there were these attacks on Iraqi policemen & police stations; & we were told these attacks were the work of the "insurgents";.then Sunnis killing Shias - the work of the Sunnis...Shias killing Sunnis - the work of Shias or other groups. All the while, the Iraqi government..arguing, trying to structure a constitution..Meantime, violence prevails...and security forces keep being killed; and there is no real SECURITY in Iraq. Crime rages. Robbers,killers all around. No one has a license to drive...guns and other weapons everywhere...Mercenaries - invisible. Experienced. and people keep getting killed...now it is innocent civilians more than anyone.....Who are behind all of these attacks?

I have noticed if I want to know what is right far right check Fox, if I want news with a liberal delivery CNN, and if I want to wait for some of the real truth wait for documentarys. Is there anyplace that gives the news minus OJ,,Michael,,special interest thing that happen to many but is so outrageous to this one individual,,,lot a time wasted there that could cover what I wait over a year to find out. Important things seem to be glossed over with no real coverage like they are fighting and killing many but no mention that the innocents killed were Arabs now they are POed and most of us don't know why.
I watch BBC, but anyplace I am missing cuz todays real news is the best soap opera going

do you get therough news any where
I know my spelling is bad an grammer sometimes
