How many of you have mistakenly thought whilst in the shower/ your car/ alone in the house, you can actually sing a good rendition of 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis?

lol, I caught myself having a go in my car on the way to work this morning!

a victim of an abduction. How many people would say that they had been wrong about the whole saga?

How many people will be able to answer this question without reverting back to the accusations of neglect and just give a straight answer without being rude, abusive & nasty?

Many thanks

In an effort to introduce MORE reality tv (for better ratings), networks are tossing around ideas that could threaten shows like Greys Anatomy, Criminal Minds, NCIS,etc. with more b.s. reality. What would be your solution in a room full of CEO's for NBC,CBS,ABC,etc. (For mass comm class debate). I want to see if great minds think alike. (Hint: ways of using today's modern technology to maintain a ratings system so that our fave shows can stay on the air and for those of us who like "a little" reality or "a lot" of reality but also like primetime TV can enjoy both!! Devise a plan! Also to show appreciation for the great writers who keep the shows coming who, otherwise, would be out of a job if networks are overthrown by Reality TV.

As a nation that has vowed to combat terrorism on all fronts. Are we not obligated to assist Turkey in the same thing that we are doing not even 200 miles away from them. If my reflection serves me right, when we as the United States said we will attack terrorism, there was not a stipulation that we will do nothing if we upset a few people. If that was the case we would not be in Iraq right now. So in us not helping Turkey on a front that is right where we are doing what we vowed, that in turn makes us a partaker of terrorism. Would you not agree? In our refusal to get involved when we have vowed to get involved on all fronts of terrorism, when we are right there anyway, that in my opinion makes our country a double minded nation. Integrity and godly character must rule, in our words and actions.

Let me make it so simple that even anti-McCanns should be able to understand...

I do not condone child neglect of any kind.

But that does not mean that I must have no compassion or sympathy for two people who have been without their child for 6 months.

If you feel that it does then I pity you and your simple minds.

Imagine if doctors and nurses were like anti-McCanns...

Alcoholics with liver damage would just be left to die - "I'm not treating you, serves you right for drinking so much."

What a horrible and nasty world that would be.

I have it on good authority, from Barney at the White House actually. That the culprit in the royal sex scandal is one of the corgis. He was caught on camera in the dead of night weeing against the coke pile and then wandering off to sniff a couple of other dog's butts.

Well it sounds about as reasonable as any other theories I have heard or read! What do you think?

Does he think we are going top become some militant state that owns the whole world? Does he care about how Iran is going to strike back? Does he even think about how the American people are going to revolt? Is he Cheney's secret lover? Where will this country be if he starts a war before he leaves office? Does anyone think this is all a ploy to increase oil prices and line their pockets(not to mention Haliburton)? Where and why did this neo-conservatism come from? Aren't these guys just scared cowards that don't know how to talk to people? How come we threw out the original plan on how to occupy Iraq? Isn't Iran 1000x more equipped and organized than Iraq? Why should we stop other countries from getting nuclear? Do you think the Iranians are so stupid to commit country suicide? Don't you think that if they bombed Israel or anywhere else that their state and their entire belief system would be possibly wiped away? Doesn't anyone remember why the Middle East hates us from our CIA strike

as an Englishman and business magnate of many major US based companies I feel I must ask this.
Many of the Americans that I own have difficulty spelling words correctly i.e
Colour-color
Honour-honor
Favour-favor
skool-school
In my opinion Americans have not had the correct skooling and therefore struggle.
In my many US based companies I have started an English skool for the Americans that I own.It is mainly held in the huts after work duties.
English skool is very popular with my Americans and it is teaching them a valuable lesson in life.
SKOOL IS GOOD

Just read this story and although I think the guy's a bit "odd" (bikes don't do it for me), is it really a crime worth ending up on the sex offender's register? Don't see who the victim was?

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career
however humble;
it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

No stable Govt since 1991 war between different gangs of warlords with no end in sight. They run off everyone that tries to help. Somalia is one of the worlds saddest tragedies. Unless the U.N finally grows some spine this will sadly continue. Do you think Somalia will ever be a stable nation again?
