Armed with 2 grenades and a gun, a Filipino named John Ducat hostaged 31 daycare pupils inside a bus. This guy who also owns the daycare,according to the parents, the teachers,neighbors and relatives is a decent, humble person.
He has 137 children in his daycare and not one of them pays a cent.He even provides the kids meals, school supplies, pays the teachers from his own pocket, and even has a voluntary program for livelihood for the poor families in his neighborhood. He was born poor, and he worked and studied his way to where he is right now. But he never forgot to GIVE.
His demands are simple: that the Philippine government provide these kids with scholarships so that they may continue their studies; that their families be given a source of income and/or jobs, and food for these poor people. He says that he deems his actions necessary to attract the attention of the President and the authorities for them to do something about the overwhelming poverty in the Philippines.

About 5 to 8 years ago, the USA Today, NY Times, ABC, CBS, NBC news ALL reported how using cellphones upon your head most likely increase your risk of getting brain cancer. It was a big topic among all people. After these stories broke, real studies on the topic have become non-existant.

Is there a correlation between cancer and cellphone use? Someone had told me that hands-free blue tooth headsets probably exert the same amount of radiation as a cellphone, so are blue tooth & cellphones unsafe? Or did mass media 'jump the gun' and report nonsense? What is the answer here?

You do realize that Iran does provide a significant risk to us, our allies, and our interests. Do you blame Bush and Blair? Come on, even the leaders of China and Russia agree with us on this issue (to a certain extent, yes).

It seems to me that they are trying to start something and trying to look like the innocent party, saying the prisoners have invaded their country, when they went over the border and captured them.Have they got nuclear weapons? I hope I'm just being paranoid, but I'm worried all the same).

I was very surprised to see adverts of knife weilding actors etc amongst the very serious news bulletin on the plight of our brave sailors currently held in Iran. Do you not check the sensitivity of such things?

When the Japanese conquered Guam in 1939, they sent all the men to labor camps. Most died. First the children were all 1/2 Spanish, then the children were all 1/2 Japanese. The nature of women is not to fight? What about girly-men? Any lessons here?

Hi,
Had this dream last night about being in a double decker bus going down along the Quays and when it when over the bridge it fell off and toppled into the Liffey. The last thing I remember before waking up was looking with dread out the window as the bus was plunging toward the river bed.
Funny, anytime Im on the bus and it seems to tip to one side going along the river, I always wonder if it might jut tip over and plunge into the lIffey.
My question is this:
Has this ever really happened can anyone tell me? Has a bus ever actually fallen into the river Liffey with passengers in it?
Well it must have happened at some stage?!

Typically, you can find this information through the police department? Is posting this information in the paper unethical?

They said the reason for this is to keep all the sexual predators away from the kids.
I guess they are trying to eliminate the competition!

Why is it that any criticism of any aspect of the state of Israel is immediately equated with charges of anti-Semitism? I’ve noticed that any other country and its people can be freely criticized without the attacker being branded a racist.

I ask because I saw Dennis Miller the other day and he was doing one of his famous everyone-sucks-but America-and Israel tirades and everyone in the audience was eating it up and cheering, especially his anti-Chinese and anti-Russian stuff. But no one ever seems to call him a racist. It’s really weird.

If you are not religious any expression of love and support will be acceptable. This is an opportunity for us to put politics and other differences aside and link arms with two other brave and admirable human beings.
