News & Events - October 2006

The recent attack on the Amish school whereby three were killed shocked residents of the area. The school had no security whatsoever. Is it shocking that this could happen? Or is it more shocking, considering current state of affairs, that the community imagined something like this could not happen?

I was just researching, and I found that I can EDIT the articles! Anyone can! How can we ever trust wikipedia, when anyone can change the words to mean something entirely different??? Is anything on the site written by credible and accurate journalists or historians?

I mean with three school shootings in a week and multiple police officers shot last week in broad daylight, it just seems like the world has gone nuts! Do you agree that things are worse now than they have been in the past?

The japanese take no nonsense from immigrants no more than 3% of their population is allowed to be non japaneses and when their visa is up they kick them out. We have a back log of sponging ponces that shouldnt be here, they are lazy, useless and dangerous who breed like rats and use up precious health, welfare and education resources. We should start with all the illegal unlicensed taxi rapists in london, the police know who these people are yet let them drive uninsured, with poorly maintained cars just looking for their next victim.

That was the front page and the cover story of New Statesman on 13th September 2004. Just found an old copy as i was clearing out ...
But then i ask the question ... why just Islam?
Can Christianity change? Can Judaism change?
How should they change if you think they should?
Ultimately it is not the believers but the clerics that make organised religions into intolerant beliefs system with all the consequences showing in war and hostilities. What you think?
Please save the abuse, i'm none of the above and am not favouring one over the other. I live in hope that one day people can respect each others religious convictions.
I put this in current events to stay away from the religious gang btw ... hoping to get some objective answers if you know what i mean ...

My heart goes to the families of those kids, all little girls that have been shot by another demented man. I believe the media covers of such events on the news, time after time, after time again does trigger some kind of evil thoughts in certain people and being filled with hate already, it gives them the idea to get rid of what their twisted mind perceive as potential revenge against what has been done to them sometimes way back when they were children. It is all right to cover the news, but is it the right thing to do to show repeatedly what has happened and how ?

In response to the shooting in Lancaster County, I have seen multiple photos and film clips with the Amish plastered all over the media. These people are dealing with enough trauma, it is unthinkable to me that in our news coverage, we have to capture them on film so blatantly, which goes against Amish beliefs.

Of course some pics and video is going to get an individual in the background and there are some creative ways to get pictures such as in silhouette. But CNN.com (and they aren't the only ones) has a closeup of an Amish man talking to someone right on the FRONT PAGE! And other media features closeups of Amish children playing, and Amish bystanders at the school milling around consoling each other. I think this is horribly disrespectful.

Please reporters and photographers...show some tact.

My Community drinks it.-Some bottlers such as Dannon have begun adding fluoride to their water.
According to a 2002 study,67% of Americans were living in communities with fluoridated water.

Many mistake Fluoridation of water as a dental precaution. Studies show that if Fluoride does not touch your teeth, it will have no effect on your dental health. So why drink Fluoride?

The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water was in German Nazi prison camps. They found that mass-medicating water with fluoride was a way to "sterilize humans and force them into a into a calm submission.”

"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."
- Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association

Doesn't it seem strange that one occurs, the media publizes the heck of it, and several others? One of the last ones that occured in Cazenovia, WI is a town that my father is from, he and his brothers and I had all attended Weston. Shocking.

Why wasn't something done sooner about Tom Foley? If he was a democrat would they have done something sooner? Why is he blamming alcohol? Can anybody do that and get away with these things?
Is this the Clintons fault, the media, 9/11 widows or the liberals fault?
Maybe Jeff Gannon could sit in for him until we elect somebody new.
