i actualy think that the reason behind the violence in the middle east is because ppl always felt frustrated. most of the middle east countries have been occupied for many years by Britain france , italy .etc.. so they were fighting for their freedom. & when they had their freedom they had to face their corrupted& dictator leaders & now they r afraid to be occupied again by america after the american invasion to iraq & the threats to iran & syria . so actualy i can't blame arabs for thier violent attitude.

He(Bonds) must feel good to be out of that negative spotlight for a little while. I see him doing a little dance that the media forgot about about him for the time being.

Do you think Bonds is safe now that hes past the record?

okay so let me get this much straight:

America is currently in Iraq because they think there are terrorists there (because of 9/11) they need to stop (but really, it's for the oil they have) . Bush wants to rebuild Iraq's government into a democracy but all he's doing it killing innocent people all in the name of saving the world. all the countries are against them being there except Bush and Blaire (who is no longer in office, right??) and now they can't leave because if they do all these countries will attack us because our troops are too weak and if we stay we are killing many, many innocent people.

anything else there is to this?? like other reasons as to why we went to Iraq and still are there?? oh and is Saddam Heussain's son still alive and in hiding?

PLEASE accuse my ignorance. i know i should be more up to date with this, but math is my strong point, not current events. danke!!

I`m really upset about this news . It happened close to my home .How tragic for this family that a young football mad lad goes off to play footie and is shot dead in the street on his way home.It`s absolutely incomprehensible.

What have we come to?
What can be done to stop it?
How easy is it to get hold of guns?
How can we get rid of them?

Goodnight and godbless little Rhys.

When and please God IF the Madeline McCann disappearance is solved does anyone else agree with me that Robert Murat should be compensated IF, and note I say IF he is innocent. WHOEVER is responsible MUST be punished But do other members here not feel that he suffered a bit of a trial by media?
Like I said IF he did something let him face the consequences But IF he didnt, what about his name being dragged through the mud.
Seems that his living as an ex-pat and with his elderly mother portrays him in a more sinister light.Thats not fair either.
What do others think of this?

What percentage of the pages in popular magazines are for advertisements? How many TV and radio commercials do we see and hear every day?

And now, consider this. To a greater extent every day, we rely on interactive and multi-media internet tools for our information. Weather, sports, news, and other interesting or necessary information for our daily lives are now accessed through websites, and ever-increasing amounts of bandwidth have allowed for video advertisements to be found nearly everywhere. Load a site? See an advertisement. Find a sports update? Watch a video ad first. Check the weather? See a dancing figure beg you to pay attention to the advertisement of their new super-low rate mortgage offer. I perceive advertisements to be increasingly trespassing onto our every waking moment.

Over a long enough period of time, what do you think this does to us?

Do you think they should continue the search or just leave them down there ?
I think they should continue the search no matter what the
cost, i think it is a crying shame this day and time with todays
tecnoligy and equipment that they would even consider leaving
them down there. if it means removing the mountian off from
them or what ever it takes i think for the families sake they need brougt out. i wish there was a way of starting some kind of petition to forse the mine owners or msha or the goverment or whoever to have to get them out dead or alive. they should not just be allowed to quit.

Here's a spoiled rotten brat girl, from a wealthy white family, (I'm white so chill out), who's been treated like an MTV sweet 16 brat all her life; starts stripping and doing exotic dancing, robs a bank, while laughing at the tellers. Now she's playing tennis with her daddy; HOW IS SHE OUT!

She's now crying in court wanting probation and no jail time. For ROBBING A BANK! A felony! Her Daddy now says, we have our girl back and now she's good again! News flash, she was NEVER good; just spoiled by another self indulgent wealthy parent. She's supposed to do 3 years in prison!

We pay millions in taxes for this kind of crap? And girls, dont' think that the women you see on tv are ultra pretty. Lindsay Lohan and this girl showed what they look like without tons of makeup; Yikes!

It reminds me of the female Teacher that slept with the Jr. High kid and then got off because, "She was too pretty to go to prison". I'm sure a man would have got the same. Is anyone else sick of this!

Have you read this article.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-marbury-vick&prov=ap&type=lgns
It is in reference to Michael Vicks dog fighting charges. New York Nicks Guard says its a sport and compares it to hunting. In my opinion putting 2 animals in a pin to maul each other unitl 1 dies is not the same as hunting. It just P***** me off when people try to justify any violence by comparing it to anything else. Now, I DO NOT HUNT AND REALYY DO NOT APPROVE OF IT> so no bleeding hearts here.

I just pulled up www.familywatchdog.us. There are 3 offenders in my neighborhood i never knew off.
Firstly, i thought molesters and child predators weren't allowed within so many feet of a child, my neighborhood is riddled with kids. One man is .25 miles from my door, that's .25 from my 3 babies! Ugh, what gives these sick assh0les the right to even exist for praying upon young innocent lives? There's nothing stopping them from looking out the window at some girls playing hop scotch and tossing off (pardon me) or sneeking a kid off to the very end of our neighborhood to a wooded area where a vast river is. I'm not sure anyone in my neighborhood knows, it is a small area in the country, should they be made aware - what would you do? Can anything be done? Cause, Human Rights protect them so i'm sure there is nothing i can do.
Man, 3 men within a one mile radius. I know this isn't news to anyone, i'm just shocked and had to vent sorry.
