3 British soldiers died today in Afghanistan due to Americans dropping a bomb on them. In every war America takes part in far too many innocents/allies are killed.

When will they learn?

and just arrived home to find that someone has strolled in and stolen all of my belongings.

Am I partly to blame for not locking the doors or am I at worst, just a little naive for thinking it was ok?

Me and my mate where talking yesterday in work and she said something very chilling to me in regards to lil lost maddie. My friends mum had told her this theroy on the lost girl...... She said, the two parents of maddie being doctors, that just maybe they gave the kids some pills to make them stay asleep while they whent off for the meal, and they gave maddie too much by mistake as they over estimated how much she could have as she is bigger then the other two kids, or maybe both parents gave it her and didnt realise they had both done it, and killed her. In doing this they paniced and hid the body somewhere??? After all the police do think she was killed in the appartment. What are your views on this? Now i know its hard to hide a body but it can be done, cant it? (And this was just general chat amongst friends by the way, and i dnt know where she is)

Yuan Weijing, wife of activist Chen Guangcheng, has herself been arrested on the way to the Philippines to receive an award for her husband.

He has been imprisoned for exposing corruption and abuse in the "One Child Policy" including forced sterilizations and involuntary abortions.

Under the communist government's one-child policy, urban dwellers are allowed one child and rural families can have two if the first is a girl.

Ruthless enforcement has triggered widespread opposition, especially in the countryside.

But Communist Party officials and the rich often ignore the law themselves.

Yuan has said that Chen, who is blind, had been severely beaten in prison.

Human Rights Watch had previously labeled her husband's case an example of the "significant deterioration" of rights in Communist China.

Shouldn't those who value human rights consider a boycott of China?

I was reading the article from the link above. It says The family of Manuela Gomez Ruiz SUED Jackson and Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, claiming she was kept from critical care after she had a heart attack on the same day Jackson was brought in with flu-like symptoms during his 2005 child-molestation trial. Jackson was acquitted in the case.

My question is that if all the hospital attention was on Michael Jackson why didnt they just sue the hospital, why do they want to sue Michael Jackson. the fault is the hospital not Michael Jackson. If michael jackson came to the hospital to recieve his treatments and got treatments first the hospital is responsible for every probem. MJ can only be held responsible is he demanded to be treated before anyone else. And by the way i'm not saying this because i am a fan of MJ. It clearly looks like that family is just trying to get money from the celebrity's pockets.

Ronald Reagan funded and supported the Talibans in Afghanistan because they were an opponent of the Marxist and Soviet lead government. The Soviet Union tried to repress Islam and other religions where ever it had dominance. The fall of the Soviet Union and the return of religious practice has been the leading cause of the current world problems we face today. Reagan's legacy is the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.

Say if China, being communist, decided they didnt like the American government and decided to invade in order to "save" them from great evil. Say, if Chinese soldiers were in every street, every city with tanks, military vehicles and soldiers armed with guns. Say if you were walking by and you looked at one of them and they started yelling at you in Chinese and then, when you couldn't understand them, they would yell louder and louder then gun you down because yo didn't obey them. Say, if they were gunning down innocent women and children in the streets and it was YOUR children. Say, if Chinese soldiers broke into your house, raped your wife and stole from your home. Say, if they started taking over the government and now bringing in Communism. HOW WOULD YOU DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

This is what it is like for the Iraqi's. The Chinese could invade on the judgement that the US was full of Nukes and weapons of mass destruction (which it is). This is the example of America

When I was a kid even around the age of 9 or so I had a very sexual mind but I did not understand everything and of course I would not engage in any sexual activity I got my first kiss at 12 and my first real boyfriend at the age of 15. But a few days ago two kids a boy and a girl were both suspended for having sex or maybe it was just oral sex in public school. I found out because my friends younger brother was the boy at age 12. They did this in the girls bathroom.

Are things really changeing much or is technology and t.v just allowing us to realize it more. Why do I ask? My aunt told me a few stories about how her friends would have sex in her room when she was 10 but her friends were 11-13.

But one things for sure I cannot stand how kids act theses days that for sure has changed. Smoking in grade 6-7 and wearing almost nothing its not just the fact that theres young girls are wearing almost nothing its the fact that the close have sexual images , or text on them!

Carter helped get the Shah out of Iran - who represented progress in the middle east, Ronald Reagan has a chance to execute hezbollah in the 80's and Bill Clinton allowed the USA to be attacked 6 times - ???? Why is all of the blame on George Bush - an idiot? when these other idiots let the muslims progress with terror on Christian countries like the USA and Serbia?

Are they ever going to come out and blast this monkeyed administration for not going after Osama Bin Laden more aggressively? That was the guy who blew everyone up in New York right? Twice, once in 93 (how'd he get away?). He also blew up the USS Cole in Yemen a short while back. And supposedly we're fighting the Global War on Terrorism? Who are we fighting again, now in 2007? Iraq! Yes, awesome. We're occupying a country that doesn't want a damn thing to do with democracy, dozens of young American men and women dying every week, and worst of all, this is a nation that posed no threat to the United States. In fact the administration had to LIE about several things to convince the American people that a pre-emptive strike was the "right thing" (WMD's, links to Al Qaeda). And even now as this has become public knowledge (if you don't believe the things i stated previouslyy you are living a lie and i feel sorry for you) Bush and his cronies have no intentions of giving up.

I ask as i remember years ago seeing all the protests on the news about animals being exported in cramped and cruel conditions on lorries to the continent.
I have in the past few weeks witnessed the same thing happening in Australia, with the animals being carted over long distaces, packed into the back of a truck like a tin of sardines & then to be put on a boat and shipped to other countries. I am amazed any humans are still practicing these cruel and barbaric ways. Does this still happen in the uk, and what can we do to stop this.
