I think Opra Winfrey should be congratulated by helping young girls in South Africa realise their dream by building a $40Million school for them. I think it is a very good thing everything is for free can you imagine

bigger help to the Republican party. Obviousley neither of them actually help the cause that they think they are helping. Why is it out of 3,000 dead troops, the only parent being obnoxious is loud mouth Cindy? This is sort of a two part question. I just know that if I were an anti war person, the last person I would want on my team would be that awful Cindy. Michael has been kind of quiet lately, do you think some one told him to be quiet or do you think maybe he realizes that his loud mouth does no good? Answer the question any way you see fit. By the way, I am not a right wing Limbaugh type guy, just can recognize dopes when I see them.

I have just listened on the radio that Hussein's wife and one of Hussein's lovers (concubine) claims that the person that U.S. forces deliver to Iraqi goverment to receive the death penalty was one of his "doubles" that he has on his payroll. The best pay one they said. Due to the close experience they live with Hussein in separate declarations they give give several differences between this person and Hussein as tattoes on his hands, the teeths because the concubine recognizes it like a great "kisser" (sources say).
Although the note just seems was diffused for Al jazhira a local iraqi source and another one in Germany since it have been strongly censored in U.S.A.
Does anyone know something about this note.

LONDON: The family of Stephen Bennett, the British tourist found battered and hung from a tree in a village in Roha near Mumbai, has claimed that the backpacker was abducted from the beach resort where he was staying.

Bennett, 40, had expressed fears for his safety in phone calls home. According to his parents and sister, they tried to alert the authorities in India, but no one responded.

Bennett had travelled to Goa for a two-week winter break. His body, covered with cuts and bruises, was found 200 miles away in a jungle near Roha. His family is at a loss to know how he came to be there, but fear he was abducted in Goa and taken away in a car.

A friend of the family told the Mail , “He rang on December 6, just three days into his holiday, to say he was very worried about two men he had met on the beach. He said they were being smarmy and he was not comfortable with them. They knew that he was on his own and he was worried about going back to his hotel room.’’

“In a later phone call, he said he had been taken against his will. Stephen’s parents could hear two men speaking to him in the background in broken English. They were snapping at him.”

Bennett is the father of two girls aged 11 and eight, who are said to be devastated. He is separated from their mother. An actor-turned-self-employed builder, he was an experienced traveller and had visited Egypt, China and Thailand. He worked as an actor in his 20s, and appeared in a film with Joan Collins and Timothy Spall.

The motive of the abduction is unclear, however. The victim still had $300 cash in his pockets when he was found. Four men have been questioned about the death, but Bennett’s relatives say they are unhappy with the story being put out by police that he was attacked after he began talking to a villager who could not understand him and feared he was going to rape her.

If I save a Yahoo News article for reference, I always have to delete the time (which is useless to readers IMHO) and add the year.
It would be a lot easier if Yahoo would just include the year.

It sure makes executions look even spookier than they already are, but is there a purpose for covering your face when you're going to kill somebody?

It was a promise she made to Nelson Mandela and all the girls that will be attending are so thankful for this wonderful opportunity they are being given. Maybe I'm not getting it, but I think it's a wonderful thing that Oprah is doing. What do you think?

sense i do not believe the man to be a traitor this is what i will do I will list all the points of why he is a traitor and coward and respond to them, i seen from other people I will try my best to be unbiased I can't promise i won't be though. 1) Watada has sworn an oath to protect this country and uphold the constitution by deserting such duties he is a coward and not a man of his word and a traitor to his country. My opinion to this: He promised to uphold the constitution, which I think most people will agree that this war has violated some parts of what this country was all about. As far as being a coward, you don't even have to agree with him but i can see him not as a coward in anyway. A coward would run to Canada, he stayed in his military base, probably with thousands of people that hates his guts. He has a better chance of dying in his base i think than in iraq. He is facing 6 years in jail and going to be stripped of all honor........ wait lemme finish before posting please

nothing significant was done. the land in question now was "taken" 4rm the Arab nations.
but after researching the history of the land, I can't but say those at fault are my Arab brothers, who are only interested in wiping other humans out. i doubt the land belongs to the Palestinians.
But!!!
we are talking humans here, not animals.
so what can the world do to help these people out.
I believe, if it was an Arab nation that occupied those lands, they wont agree to give back as much as Israel has done.
what can we do to save the situation?
Helpful comments welcome.

I made an Honest mistake as a result of poor publicity, In none of the speeches I caught on TV of the opening no mention was made that the only criteria was that of family income. A lot of other South Africans also jumped to the same conclusion I made. TvV news this morning showed a shot of Oprha with girls from different ethnic groups.
My orriginal comment was never as a result of racist thinking, no one can accuse me of being racist as I was one of the first mixed marrages in South Africa.

Muslims planned and carried out the attack that killed thousands in America and, according to the Qur'an, Muslims are rewarded for killing anyone who does not convert to their religion. Tolerance is fine but how far do we have to go to be politically correct? Allowing a Congressman to sware in on the book that calls for the elimination of our country? Is that going to far?
