Why in the world would they dress up like they are dressed in the following news article if they were not wanting to be slaughtered? Seems to me that their timing is really askew.

Manchester was up against stiff competition from other locations in England for permission to build the Super Casino. Do you think the right decision was made to award this to Manchester? Should the Casino have gone elsewhere - if so why? What benefits or detrimental effects will come in the wake of this decision?

Cabdriver charged with shooting alleged robber
XXXXXX, XXXXXXX admits disarming the safety on his gun and firing at the man who allegedly robbed him at knifepoint, but he never meant to shoot anyone, according to a police report.

As a result of his actions, the 42-year-old taxi driver, who friends say is an immigrant success story with an even temper, was transformed from a victim to a perpetrator of a violent crime, authorities said.

Police reports said XXXXX admitted to detectives that he fired at the alleged robber as he ran away from him, but that he insisted he never meant to hit him. "He only meant to scare him and did not think he hit him, since when he shot the gun off he was aiming high,"

So, should the hard working law abiding cabbie be charged? would you find him guily or would you let him off because he was the victim of a violent robbery himself?

There was a chance for the Dome to become something at last - a Super Casino - but that hasn't happened. Maybe there was a question mark over it with a whiff of scandal over the Prescott dalliance with the American who will be payrolling said project. But for whatever reason, we are once again left with something which cost the taxpayers (US!!!) a lot of money and is not doing anything of impact for this country now. This Government were behind pushing ahead to build the Dome - so how come they haven't done anything with it?

I'm not positive on the city it would have taken place in, but I know it is one of the larger cities - maybe Panama, Orlando, Daytona, etc. Any ideas of an easy way to search it? I've already tried doing a Yahoo search with persons name but came up with nothing.

This is a real urgency must do. The general public of UK have to lobby hard and fast to stem the chance of these horrendous places being opened here. I have seen first hand all that comes with them and their destruction of decent people's lives !! One such example was in Melbourne Australia listed as one of the highest problem gambling places in the world. The fringe areas surrounding Melbourne's Crown Casino is peppered with licenced?? Brothels ran by underworld rings who traffick illegal immigrants from Korea andThailand. Hence these poor terrified women are put to "work" to pay off a huge debt to the operators who launder their monies through the casino. It is a massive problem. The State Govt there reaps high revenues from BOTH of these social diseases ! Do YOU in UK want TO PAY!! for having Brothels and drug dealing rings in your locality? Just observe as these awful places crop up in no time, now that one has the green light ! Get together everyone and have them stopped. Fast !!

I've been a bit suspicious about the step up in the space program of recent years, but now a piece of the moon has come off - they're the only ones who've been anywhere near the place...what have they done?

No wonder Bush isn't bothered about global warning... He knows he's done something that means global warming hasn't got enough time to get us....

I have witnessed a prime case of Collective Bullying in these columns, the Newspapers, TV pundits and Politicians and in particular the Asians against Jade Goody. No one person should be subjected to such a vicious onslaught of collective abuse.

She was involved in a one on one female spat. MILLIONS are now being incited to vent their spleen on Jade. Is this British FAIR PLAY?

I have noted the venom and hatred directed at her personally. She has been referred to as a *****, White Trash, Pigface, Racist, Bully, Liar and much more. What price Popadom?

We are referred to by the Aussies as Poms, the Americans as Limeys, the Scots as Sassenachs and by Arabs as infidels and by a celebrity in B.B. White Trash.

I would suggest practically everyone has lost their rag at some point and said things they may later regret.

In Jade's case she had suffered far greater distress, not at her mother being evicted, but because she was not allowed to say her farewells. Big Brother edited the spat to attract more viewers. The producers should be in the dock. One psychologist earlier quit B.B. because of its manipulation of the housemates.

The Collective Bullying of Jade Goody should make all involved hang their heads in shame as they are behaving like hypocrites.

Im going to make a bed that has a built in alarm clock that you can set the night before for a certain time, but when it goes off and you shut it off or ignore it for a period of 3 minutes a moderate electric shock will be sent through the bed, forcing you to get out of it. The shock will run for a total of 5 minutes so you will already be forced out of bed and unable to get back into it. I always sleep in so this will the the greatest invention the world has ever seen!!!! does anyone think the same? will people buy it? who likes the idea?

Hunting. Isn't that sad? I got twice as many responses to my hunting question than to my others combined. I asked how I think that hunters have an overwhelming advantage over animals, and I got so many "you don't know what you're talking about" "elks can kill with their antlers" "first you got to find them to hunt them" (I guess they had never heard of bear and deer baiting) answers. Only a few people wanted to chime in on how it seems western press coverage focused more on Israel losses than on Palestinian losses in that conflict, and how the NRA and Mr. Heston gave regular gun owners a bad name. They would rather tell me I don't know anything about hunting and call me names. I'm sorry, but that is really a sorry commentary about American values, don't you think:? That more people care more about killing animals than people killing each other.

Recently Bush declared he will put more pressure on Iran if it increases it's support of the insurgents. Harry Reid replys, "It will take congressional approve to attack Iran". Do the Dems understand simple questions before attempting to answer or do they just want to attack Bush?

There were 100s of Millions of people killed in the past during wars and occupations. Why was only the killings of Jews taken into account? Are not other peoples in the world are human beings?

There is no other way than any responsible human being denying the Holocaust as a Myth. Why dont you now... unless you are an EVIL...?
