What do you think about those fast speaking commercials on Radio or TV?I personally believe they probably have something to hide and misguide the people.

It's a bit smaller than a parking space too.

I saw a bit of that interview last night. That poor woman. God give me the strength to quit smoking. I feel so bad for her. She is not long for this world. Sorry, no question here. I just had to bring this up.

Where does our loyalty stand? Everytime I turn on the news I'm hearing or reading about this Vick story about dog fighting. But our laws are so relaxed on sex offenders and rapist. PETA is one of the strongest activist group for animals but if they used all that effort on humans maybe this country wouldn't be in the Hell hole it's in.

In one year alone, approximately 4,300 child molesters in 15 states were released from confinement.
* Of the 4,300 child molesters released, approximately 3.3% were rearrested within three years for another sex offense against a child.

they are fairly biased, wouldn't you say.. and the fairness doctrine or whatever they call it, would make Rush have equal time for dissenting opinions.. lame radio though.

It takes away from critical info that should be reported, in these perilous times. It also borders on the occult, mass hysteria, and diversion! If Jesus was as much promoted and told about, there would be a huge drive-by media outcry from the punk foul-ball libs and lezzies!

I most certainly know what an ediotorial is, and so do I with essays. Other than the fact that an editorial is clearly made by the editor/editors, in terms if form or any other thing, differentiate an editorial from an essay please...


And also, other than the fact that editorials have to be related to that particular issue of a mag or newspaper....

Are they just the same? I think so.

Last week some rich oil magnet in the US was put on trial for accepting free-gifts for his wife..........while he had shed loads of money. Seemingly these were classed as bribes.
So how much money is enough?
And what do they do with all this cash!
I know George Micheal gives alot to charity and so do loads of other stars, and even some other rich folk who have shed loads of money.
SO I ASK AGAIN HOW MUCH MONEY IS ENOUGH??

Given that they were on holidays so all usual routine is out of whack, how did they manage to get all 3 of their children to sleep, all at the same time, and all conveniently at a time when the McCanns wanted to go off and have dinner?

And apparently they managed to do it all week, not just the day Madeleine went missing.

Or can we safely assume that sometimes the children did wake up, and as such there was always a huge risk leaving children alone in an unlocked room?

I think this will possibly be my last post (but one!) about this tragic Madeleine case. I can hear a lot of you cheering..lol. So for those who are interested, have a look at my post from the Mirror forum please...and notice that its not just us lowley yahoo-members (as Im sure Gerry would call us) who express anger towards the McCanns, people in Gerry and Kates profession do too!

A lot of what we,ve said on here, has been said on medical forums too. And some goos points have been raised.

I just saw on the news that it was 38 years ago today that Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon.

Watching the moon landing on TV is one of my earliest, vivid childhood memories. What do you remember about this day (if you were alive)?

Whenever I sit to watch some news, I check all the news channels. Amongst them, I think India TV is the worst in terms of content. They show more of family matters, people performing stunts on bikes, fake ghost stories and there's no need to mention the snakes. I think this channel should be named 'Naag-Naagin Channel' since everyday there's some new news based on snakes. The working people don't have time to watch such rubbish. On the other hand, NDTV and AajTak are responsible news channels.

If used in the context of " I think this child is DD. If you look closely at photographs, you can see there is clearly something missing"

Does anyone have any idea what that would mean please?

Hey everyone. :) I'm working on a short story for a writing course I'm taking, and I have just about everything done except for the title.

The story's about a girl who's caught in a trap in the woods because she was separated from her friend Matt that she was hiking with. She's in pain and eventually Matt comes to rescue her. He takes her to the hospital, gets her leg x-rayed, etc.

But eventually the scene cuts back to her in the woods, and she's still caught in the trap. Matt was never there in the first place. He died in the same woods a year ago, and she went for a walk to commemorate it. When she was caught in the trap the pain was too much, and she began to hallucinate the whole thing.

I know it sounds really lame when you read the summary (I had such a hard time trying to write it) but the story is actually not that bad. If anyone can help me with an idea for a title, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'll also email the draft to you if it helps. The story's due tomorrow. :)

My son sent me the "WORLD AT WAR" DVD that the Daily Mail are giving away on that subject (I recall the television original series!) and there was a BBC programme on it a couple of weeks ago.
I also have heared of a book that I *may* buy - Anthony Beavor?
Anyway the original question is as in the headline as it got me thinking i.e. :

Would you say that the Battle of Stalingrad was *the* decisive battle of World War II

And does that explain how ordinary Russians feel about current relations with the U.K./U.S.A./the "West"?
Best wishes,
Joan.

i even work with a neighbour, and she gets on great with the boss, so she gets all the hours to suit her kids, holidays school times etc, but if i ask to change my hours im told no, yet she just has to bat her eyelashes and mums the word. why are some people like this. to make it worse her kids and mine get on, but she always has time off to spend time with hers while im stuck doing all the shifts that she wont do. she changes her hours every week saying her babysitter is sick etc. would you go behind her back and let the boss know, or would you stay quiet
