News & Events - October 2007

I have a SEVERE problem with the fact that Baby Jessica is now going to be a millionaire because of the fact that her parents didn't watch her and she fell in a well. That money was supposed to go to getting her OUT of the well. If there is excess (which there was PLENTY), it should go to a charity that helps other children.....NOT make someone rich. Any thoughts?

Is he really putting in a bid to run for president? It's sorta hard to tell if he's being serious or not.

So I wonder How many more species of animal we will find, according to the report The deepest part of the Celebes Sea is 16,500 feet. The team was able to explore to a depth of about 9,100 feet using a remotely operated camera.

What else could be down there o.O

also, how many of you Y!A users are night owls? or I guess...Night "Fish" in this situation ^^

Actor Richard Gere thinks that the U.S. should boycott the next Olympics, to be held in China, because of China's angry protest about the Congressional Honor given the Dalai Lama and the President's attendance of this event. The President has also visited the Dalai Lama four times in the recent past.

The Dalai Lama is in exile from China and travels the world speaking of his belief in peaceful protest of totalitarian governments. China believes he is fostering problems with their relationship with Tibet, promoting civil unrest. Richard Gere, a devout Budhist, believes that the U.S. should boycott the Olympics because of China's treatment of the respected religious figure and Gere is currently visiting Washington, D.C. to promote this belief. Should the U.S. boycott the next Olympics or ignore political differences and play to win?

Latest poll shows Bush's rating has reached another all-time low. Now, only 24% of Americans still support Bush. How is it possible that ANYBODY with half a brain can support Bush? Now he's instigating WWIII. He's a lost soul. But, what is wrong with 24% of Americans who still cannot see the obvious?

In the news, Rush Limbaugh made another insult to our brave members of the armed forces by calling them Microphone Marines.
I know its an insult, but can someone explain what it means?

If so do you believe that the Iranians would use it and do you think President Bush is right that Iran could started WWIII, seems to me the only person hungry for mass destruction and warfare is Mr Bush IMO.

I'm not looking for holiday destinations. I'm trying to write a criticism of enlightenment ideas, and need a few countries that have been proven to torture their people.

I'd do it myself, but it's 21:30 and this work is due in the morning and I have 10,000 things to do.

Which makes me curious about what's being deleted, and I don't know how to find out or evaluate the censors. But I've noticed that the News and Events section is getting insipid lately, is that why? or is YA just getting old and senile?

Regarding my previous posting requesting details of the so called protest against the use of Hylton Lodge as a youth hostel run by the YMCA. If these details are true and factual why is this main document (not the one from Alan Robinson of Surbiton who has no right to poke his nose in anyway) unsigned and why are there no return addressess etc? I will tell you why it is because of the fact that the allegations are unfounded.
Check this link and see what exactly the YMCA have proposed, help them to provide a brighter future for the young men and women who could be your sons your daughters. These people he so malignes could become real valuable assets to society are you really going to be led astray by these lying blighters who think they have the right to begrudge help to those in housing need? If you are from Hersham Vullage are you going pass by on the other side or stand uup for truth and decency towards all people? It is up to you
will you be found wanting? I hope not.

They interviewed him last night and he really does sound and look innocent. However, how the heck do your feet go into the next stall and how come he did all the signs for solicitation? He said it was a coinicidence but I don't know. What do you think? His wife believes him but then again, she could be in denial or just helping him not destroy his career and make them look bad.
