I think my recent sacking was unfair. I worked for a company who sold meaty treats. During one phone call to a customer I offered him a variety of different treats including, badger drops, gazelle eyelid and raven ears.

When he declined my offer I became upset and started to smash the window with the phone, breaking it in the process. I then climbed through the window, stapled my clothes to the face of a co worker, set fire to a nearby tree and ran home naked.

This morning I received a telephone call saying I should not return to work today.

I am thinking of going to a tribunal, does anybody have any advice?

...when the US has border issues in both Mexico & Canada, there's a water shortage, wildfires are burning our country away, gang violence has taken over many neighborhoods, illicit drugs are readily available, gas is three times the amount it was just a few years ago and worst of all, our young men & women are dying in the streets of foreign lands - for NOTHING!

There never WERE weapons of mass destruction and we have no right to tell Middle Eastern people how to live. I won't buy the line that if we don't beat them there, they'll come here. Hello! They're HERE! Why are we not strengthening OUR borders and taking care of our fellow citizens instead of sticking our noses into an already swarming hornets nest?

Before you answer the obvious, OIL or MONEY (the only reasons I can see) try to think why else we're over there instead of here. This is WORSE than Viet Nam and George Bush should go down as a worse president than Lyndon Johnson. We need to stop this TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! I am in complete disgust... Supposedly, Tania Head of NY made up a story about being in the towers on 9/11. She has a made up engagemnet with a man who died in the other tower, told stories of people she encountered while in the towers: tp their fammilies. SHe has travelled and spoke at many schools and universities. But NONE of her story lines up. They have no record of her being an employee like she claims, her college (She went to Harvard and Yale according to the tale) has NO records! WOW, I cannot believe that someone could be so heartless to create such a thoughtless tale. Has anyone else heard about the story? What are your thoughts? How will her pumishment work out if she is found guilty and what would she be charged with?

It is on the cover of NY Times: todays paper! Read it!

www.nytime.com click todays paper, and it's headline is: In a 9/11 Survival Tale, the Pieces Just Don’t Fit

I have never watched or listened to Bill O'Reilly, but I have an older friend, 82 years old, and she loves Bill O'Reilly and considers him a "must-see" and she is outraged at liberals and African Americans for smearing his reputation.

Is it a generational thing whereby older people say certain things such as "at least he's clean" when referring to African Americans? (my friends does say that about certain black people among other comments)

Is his reputation being smeared, or is he simply saying that he's being smeared, and does it really matter?

2 days ago someone copy&pasted this X's official picture on to the back of some old woman in north Africa and yesterday, we were told, that picture was passed on to Interpol.
Today, we are told, 'hold your horses'... that picture was not of X (it in fact was but was also a very poor 'Paintshop Pro' job, LOL) and we are told that X was in fact a little blonde girl of north African origin (LOL). Problem is, that second girl, Y, was not the one, X, appearing in the first doctored picture.
Am I seeing things or is anyone else also confused like me.
I mean, the girl they showed on the news today is NOT the girl copied and pasted on the forged photo of yesterday 'cause that one is in fact the real missing little girl.
Anyone else also confused about all this like me ??
That stupid Spanish woman who says she took that photo should be put behind bars -- she obviously forged it !!!

I know there's no oil over there, but if Americans are as serious about spreading freedom, democracy, and human rights around the world as they claim to be, surely the Burmese people need our help as much or more than the Iraqis? How about if we pull our troops from Iraq and send them to fight for a TRULY noble and legitimate cause in Myanmar? And unlike the Iraqis, the Burmese (and the world) will welcome American troops with open arms and regard them as liberators, not occupiers. Sanctions like those Bush has proposed simply won't be enough. The only way is the military way. The only question is, do Americans have the will to liberate these long suffering people? Or is America's devotion to democracy and human rights just hollow lip service and restricted only to countries with vast oil reserves?

PS: If Bush decides to send troops into Myanmar, I pledge to immediately enlist in the military.

PPS: Long live Aung San Suu Kyi.

Innocent monks that would never walk on grass to avoid stepping on ants, are getting killed by the military. Here's our dilemma: Should we go in to stop this and be castigated again for invading other countries or should we let the U.N. handle this? (Oh boy, the Monks are really screwed with the latter). And before anyone starts with the obvious response, Burma DOES have oil.

Please don't watch this if you are an animal lover. Basically, a guy goes out to his dogs pen in the morning with his video camera?! and finds a skunk in with the dog.
The dog is trying to get away from the skunk and instead of picking his dog up and taking it inside, he lets the dog and skunk out of the kennel and then starts kicking the skunk as hard as he can. Some people are really sick. It makes me so mad!
What do you think?

This is the must watch video of the entire case, it is heartfelt and asks the questions that need answers. Pro or Anti Mccann, you cannot fail to be touched and what can you say about this as it is FACT. We want justice for poor little Madeleine and I ask you pass this on.

You'd think with all the hundreds of posts on here the PJ would have no problems solving the case. I think we should send them a selection of answers.

Do you think they would hire any of our fellow contributors?

According to McFraudster spokesperson, Kate McFraudster knew instinctivly that her daughter was stolen to order and taken to North Africa. So she apparently has knowledge of how child kidnap gangs work and the routes they use etc. Is this the same Kate McFraudster who said they were only guilty of being naive when Madeleine first went missing as they had no idea that this sort of thing went on. They just can't keep up with their lies and deceit. By the way all your insults etc are water off a duck's back to me. Have a nice day all.
