Huh????"Iran will not stand idle if pressured to ignore its nuclear rights. The path of the Security Council, sanctions and illegal (imposition of) hardship is such a path in which the other side should expect a reciprocal act by ... Iran," Larijani said.
"The (Iranian) parliament has prepared a plan based on which the inspections of the International Atomic Energy Agency will be suspended in the face of the West's adventurous behavior," he added, according to the television report" (End Quote)

Q?-Why are they blaming the USA for the UN's actions, calling out the West? (See quote: "in the face of the West's adventurous behavior," he added, according to the... ) These people blame the "West" for all their bad actions! Q?- What are they threatening anyway? The whole WORLD in the UN voted unanimously for sanctions against them NOT just the "West"!!!

Even Heather Mills' spokesman can't confirm the validity of her allegations against him, (she, of course, being known to be economical with the truth.)

Has anyone seen the farepack hamper thing in the UK?
how the company has gone bust and hundreds of people are going to be left with no Christmas food, even though they have paid for it?

I think we should all set up a charity and donate a few quid to buy everyone a little hamper (a turkey some veg, cakes, mince pies, etc) but how would we do it?


or is there a millionair out there whou could donate something?

If i win the euro millions on friday i will give a few million quid up for the scheem.

What do you all think,

PS i have not got a hamper with farepack and just feel sorry for all the familys let down.

Yes, I know newspapers are not really unbiased and they do sway left or right in the political arena. But should they be held to a higher standard and only give the facts when speaking about canidates and issues. Shouldn't people expect the press to be bipartisan?
I would love to hear why you would or would not like your papers to only state the facts and the issues rather then endorse and support individual canidates.

I opened this account to follow the hackers who had cloned my Virgin Mobile Phone and started sending txt messages from my phone number to my email account and to the email accounts of others. On my phone, when I send a txt message I always send one to my yahoo account for back up. Well all the message on this yahoo account did not come from the cloned phone, and where not written by me, and do not represent my interest. I think PRIVANCY is a big issue and currently am an A.C.L.U member supporting the rights of us, the individual Who Does Not Wish To Participate in Any Game, or Event and who has the Bill of Rights and Privancy Act 1974 providing them the right of choice and the right of privancy. If your able read the text message, or I will post them all if your unable, I have contacted the ACLU, Virgin Mobile and Yahoo as of today. But I still believe that most American's want privancy still, Am I wrong?

There are many people in the world that have wealth beyond their needs, if we shared out all the wealth in the world between everyone equally how much would each person receive? Also why does the average joe get asked for donating to this and that when one wealthy person's donation would exceed a million average joes donations? Any thoughts? I am not saving the average joe should donate because some one else has but if wealthy people were to donate at a percent that your average joe would then that would encourage more donations.

Wow, that's just terrible. Now it will be harder for those kids to find out what creativity and fun is.
Why did I say 'creativity'? Well lets just say, another school bans drawing in the school grounds, and the students are never allowed to draw, even if it's recess, unless if it has anything to do with school work. That's just pretty much the same thing with banning tag & chase games.
And seriously, how can tag be a safety concern? It's not like everyone carries a huge baseball bat to tag other people.

What do you think?

What is happening with regards to the accusations against the Israeli President,for Rape and Sexual Harassment,is this another case of sweeping it under the carpet as usually happens when top Government figures are accused of serious crimes?
Everything seems to have quietened down.

Almost everyone on here wants to know what we are going to do about North Korea. Well after 5 years in the army I can tell you we don't have the Man power or the equipment for a full scale invasion. I spent 12 months in Iraq, 8 months at home and another 18 months in Iraq again. What happened to that 12 months there and 18 months back home that Bush promised us? Not there, becuase we are stretched thin already. So my question, if you want something to be done about stopping N Korea, are you will ing to either sign up, or accept a draft be put in place? Watch the American people run and riot when the draft begins, then think of how great invading N Korea would be!

Hi, having read the following aritcle http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18102006/344/inmates-paid-play-scrabble.html it sounds to me that prison inmates are having a free holiday, it might even encourage people to commit crime just so the can have a free holiday. I thought prison was meant to discourage people from committing crimes. Any thought?
