During Live Earth Leonardo diCaprio introduced Al Gore as "our global messenger of hope" - do you think that's true? I thought he was just an ineffectual failed politician. Do you think too much is being made of Al Gore, or are you actually buying his 'godlike' status as the one who's going to 'save the world' from climate change? Plus what do you think Gore's next move will be - i.e. how can he top this round of global mega-concerts?

The above poll shows most of the public are skeptical of climate change and believe graffiti and dog mess are of more concern.

Not only the Iran problem, but it seems like Syria is about to do some action that will open a new war in the Middle East.

Firstly, this is in no way a question of the merits of the argument for global warming.
However, is not Live Earth the dumbest concept ever? The perfomers and hundreds of thousands of attendees created 74,500 tons of co2 according to Carbon Footprint(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/07/AR2007070701201_pf.html). Also, wouldn't it have done a lot more good for the attendees to simply donate the $100 they paid for their ticket to an environmental organization of their choice? On that same path, I heard that over 2 billion people were expected to take part in Live Earth. Instead of creating 74,500 tons of co2 and wasting so many resources simply so they could have a feel good day, why didn't those 2 billion people each donate $10 to a conservation organization (imagine 20 BILLION dollars raised for global conservation on 1 day!)? This whole event was one big day for people to pat themselves on the back for while doing jack.

Pope Angers Jews, Liberals With Rite
Conservatives Rejoice as Pontiff Revives Old Latin Mass
By NICOLE WINFIELD,AP
Posted: 2007-07-07 23:16:06
Filed Under: World
VATICAN CITY (July 7) - Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday removed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass, reviving a rite that was all but swept away by the liberalizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

The decision, a victory for traditional, conservative Roman Catholics, came over the objections of liberal-minded Catholics and angered Jews because the Tridentine Mass contains a prayer for their conversion.
Benedict, who stressed that he was not negating Vatican II, issued a document authorizing parish priests to celebrate the Tridentine rite if a "stable group of faithful" requests it. Currently, the local bishop must approve such requests - an obstacle that supporters of the rite say has greatly limited its availability.

"What earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us, too," Benedict wrote.

The document upset Jews, since the Tridentine rite contains a prayer on Good Friday of Easter Week calling for their conversion. The Anti-Defamation League called the move a "body blow to Catholic-Jewish relations," the Jewish news agency JTA reported.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center urged Benedict to publicly point out that such phrases "are now entirely contrary to the teaching of the church."

In reviving the rite, Benedict was reaching out to the followers of an excommunicated ultratraditionalist, the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who split with the Vatican over Vatican II, particularly the introduction of the New Mass celebrated in the vernacular.

The Vatican excommunicated Lefebvre in 1988 after he consecrated four bishops without Rome's consent. The bishops were excommunicated as well.

Benedict has been eager to reconcile with Lefebvre's group, the Society of St. Pius X, which has demanded freer use of the old Mass as a precondition for normalizing relations. The other precondition is the removal of the excommunication decrees. The Vatican did not address the excommunication issue Saturday and there was no indication if or when it would.

Seafood imports from China raised in untreated sewage
Fish products consumed by Americans treated with dangerous drugs, chemicals
Posted: June 4, 2007

WASHINGTON – China, the leading exporter of seafood to the U.S., is raising most of its fish products in water contaminated with raw sewage and compensating by using dangerous drugs and chemicals, many of which are banned by the Food and Drug Administration.


The stunning news follows WND's report last week that FDA inspectors report tainted food imports from China are being rejected with increasing frequency because they are filthy, are contaminated with pesticides and tainted with carcinogens, bacteria and banned drugs.

China has consistently topped the list of countries whose products were refused by the FDA – and that list includes many countries, including Mexico and Canada, who export far more food products to the U.S. than China.

Im a muslim, I was born and live in the UK, and say to the ''muslim'' terrorists, if you dont like it here f*#k off home, because the rest of us the decent law abiding muslims, non muslims, blacks, whites and asians want to live in peace, so take your extremist views back to the non democratic hell holes your trying to create here, and you will be alot happier and so will we.

The time for political correctness has gone out the window, because b*stards like this are tryng to ruin the peace and harmony that the majority want to live in.

Islam's basic teachings are peace and harmony, it says it is forbidden to cause harm to another living thing, and to ssave a life is like saving the whole of humanity, therefore the people who are commiting such atrocities have a very warped mind, much like a paedo, rapist, murderer, in their mind they are doing nothing wrong, their sick, and use this religion as a reason, but its not in the name of islam.
