News & Events - September 2007

Years ago, as a kid, I learned geography while watching the world news and they would use a red arrow to point to the map of the world to show where some event was taking place. Does anyone know why this practice stopped, and couldn't it be re-instituted simply with all the technology today? Do you agree that news stories ought to include a visual that shows where someplace is?

Dave Grohl slammed Paris Hilton as a "lazy party ****" this week. That's what gets on the news usually, instead of Darfur in Africa, where there have been over 400,000 tragic, needless, genocide deaths ... and counting!

God said LOVE your neighbour, as much as yourself, AND even your enemy...but HATE SIN!!! Love Paris but do not imitate her bad behaviour, for God's sake!!!

A recent opinion article in the New York Times criticized death toll estimates for Darfur that we have quoted. The article misses a critical point in the debate over how many people have actually died.

These mortality estimates cannot be verified or updated because the Government of Sudan actively denies the international community (including diplomats, humanitarian workers, and epidemiology experts) real access to the Darfur region to count the ethic cleansing victims.

I blogged on this at...

Why does America make a big seen in Iraq and then invite the presedent of the nation beside it to come and speak when we were fighting Iraq in the first place so that they don't come??? Also, why are we still fighting them now??? Who are we to set up there government??? Is it all because we need there oil??

What is the reason that people believe to keep troops in Iraq of to take them out? By reason, I mean a wider-perspective reason - not something like "Because families are heart-broken that children are dying everyday," but something like "Republicans don't want to pull out the war they started or they'd lose power in the elections." I'm not saying death isn't important but asking what the end-result would be if we chose to keep/pull out troops.

Its 4 on 3 instead of 6 on 1. Think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will call for a march to release the accused on grounds that the charges are overblown and this was merely a school fight?

And this from a guy that says ...."The holacaust never happened " ?
So, should we believe him when he says the Iranian nuclear issue is "now closed" ?
In my opinion, Ahmadinejad is missing a few sandwiches for his picknik......the same way Hitler was missing a few bricks for a load......and just as dangerous.
I, for one am real glad we're sitting right on this moron's door step with our troops....
What do you think Hitler would have been able to in Warsaw if we'd had Patton parked on the border of Poland in 1939 ?
Not A "F"ing thing ! That's what ! and something else.....Tojo would have had to think more than twice about Pearl Harbor too !!!!
Walk Tall and carry a BIG stick .....from now on !

Comedian Dave Longley "told the stunned audience at Liverpool's Baby Blue club that "you think parents would have learned about putting their children in Everton shirts after Maddie and Rhys". The red-faced comic, who was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, was booed off stage.

Everton FC spokesman Ian Ross added: "I certainly speak for every Everton fan in this city and probably all the Liverpool fans when I say they'd be eternally grateful if this man never performs in this city again."

Longley's manager, Lee Martin, said: "Dave was having a great gig and got a little carried away. By his own admission he made a stupid mistake and greatly regrets the ill-chosen joke." "

I AM NOT saying that I think this is an overreaction, I am just asking your own opinion. Not giving my own. Did the Everton FC spokeman overreact?

house and using it to murder (or kill) a burglar? There are no exceptions when the Bible says Thou shalt not murder (or kill), and self-defence is not an excuse for breaking one of the commandments! And if he was just going to rob you, not kill you, you are twice as wrong.
