Ive just seen on the news that a car cruise has been given a blanket ban. Why?
Just because one or two unwanted individuals mess about then all are labeled criminals. Why?
Why cant a few police officers be in the area and nab the offenders, not the vast majority actually behaving.
These people have a talent and you should see some of these cars, they are far more worthwhile then even the Mona Lisa because it gets the kids involved in something that doesnt involve drugs. These cars are their pride and joys and they drve with the utmost care, and are not boy racers in clapped out fiestas or corsas.
I cannot understand the mentality behind banning something not dangerous and fun, yet people can go out and plastered and be sick everywhere and get in fights and even kill oter people and the government takes no action.
No wonder the country is falling apart, take away youth activities that are no danger to anyone and they will turn to dangerous things.

When Gerry McCann announced a few days ago that he was going to ''scale down' the find Madeleine campaign, did he he really mean that the actual search to find Madeleine is no longer being pursued, and that the 'campaign' will now focus on blaming the Police (both Portugese and British) and sueing the press (at the moment only the Portuguese) ?

be named and shamed. Children who commit manslaughter, rape & murder have their identities kept from the public for legal reasons.

The most recent story of children that have been charged for manslaughter are the ones that threw stones at a father while he played cricket. These children went around in a gang called The New Estate Gang and set out to cause trouble. They started shouting abuse & insults at a man aged 67 and then they hurled stones at him. The stress causing him to have a heart attack.

Most kids of today know that their identies are kept a secret as and when they commit crime. If this was changed and they were publicly named it could reduce the amount of crime committed by kids.

I feel that they should be named & shamed as well as being placed in young offenders institutions and NOT given playstations and holidays in these places.

"The United States recently signed a deal on Thursday to boost its military aid to Israel to 30 billion dollars over the next decade."

Yet this country was unable to save the victims of Katrina and still to this day can not provide adequate aid to displaced residents of New Orleans.

The education system is continuing to crumble in this country.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

The U.S. is continuing to go into astronomical debt in loans held by China for its involvement in the Iraq quagmire.

Israel is said to have the world's fifth most powerful military but, the U.S. still sends billions of tax payer's money to them.

Why is the U.S. continuing to be puppets to the powerful Israeli lobby?

Why do they deny the truth that they are responsible for more civilian deaths then any country in human history! They were the first and only country to use 2 weapons of mass destruction on civilians! They are the largest consumer of oil! They are the biggest producer of green house gases and CO2! Vietnam, Iraq and now Iran....for what?

Let’s not forget that the rest of the world is waking up the truth that the USA is not all that it claims.

Here we recieve different sources of news and facts, let me tell you. It’s only a matter of time before the truth hits it's people!

Yahoo posted a story today that said that militias in Iraq are battling each other for power. Militias like Al-Sadr's have caused the US a great deal of trouble in the past despite some of their cooperation. There is undeniably a civil war going on in Iraq between Shiites and Sunnis. With the small time frame that the Democrats are pushing for, the US needs a quick and effective strategy to win.

Should the US consider supporting some of these militias in order to qwell violence and make Iraq stable?

Supposedly this happened this last week. How do they know that the 'roo was her boyfriend, what happened to the animal, and how is her husband doing? Also,did she have children? (by her husband, of course) Any info. about this heretofore unequaled example of black humor will be appreciated. Monty Python could have great fun with the 'roo and his "lady."

I read that there is suppose to be a meteorite shower [or something similar] tonight [August 31] or early tomorrow morning [September 1]. This particular shower only happens every 2,000 years or so. Please tell me more about it, do you have links for information? Also when is a good time to look for it in the sky in central California? I really want to see it [since I probably won't be around on two thousand years]. Please answer soon and thanks.

According to the media, it's because he stuck his hand between the stall in the bathroom and his feet bumped some undercover police officer's that was in the stall next to him.

Why was there an undercover police officer in the next stall and what does this have anything to do with homosexuality or even sexuality to begin with?

Sorry, but I am so confused and I feel so stupid even asking this but I truly have no idea.

I have not hear either way, but I would think the backseat of a Mercedes is a pretty safe place unless you are not wearing a seatbelt. Then again, it is simply foolish not to wear one, so maybe I should assume she was? Anybody know?

If Hilary is ranked only in the mid twenties on the most powerful women in the world would she make a good prez? How would the world see her? I think this is just more proof that she can't get the job done.

Gerry and Kate McCann said they had instructed their lawyers to begin legal action against Tal & Qual for the "deeply hurtful" story.

Is the costs of this legal action coming from the "Madeleine's fund Leaving no stone unturned"?

Could this action be considered things to come?

There are hundreds of legal organizations that support and defend the Minorities (Blacks, Latinos,Asians...).But there are no legal organizations to defend the rights of a vast Majority.
Please, don't give me a damn lies about "White people don't need such an organization" or "Nobody abuses or insults White people".
If everybody wants to be equal in this country, then let's do it.
What should we do to create such an organization?
Thanks for your help.

They promise the Taliban that they will pull back all of their troops by the end of the year.
