News & Events - November 2007

I'm talking print media here, specifically media interviews. It often seems that the 'subject' being interviewed is selectively quoted/ misquoted to suit the particular agenda the (allegedly impartial) journo is running. I speak from personal experience here - I was interviewed for my local newspaper recently and the article that came out was complete crap! For example, it said that I had 'started playing piano to escape her sad childhood'....what I actually said was, 'I didn't have a great time when I was younger, but I think everyone has those sorts of periods in their life' and this was in a response to a question posed by the journo herself!
I may be going on to much about this, but people need to relise that what you read in a media interview is only one-sided - so much gets lost in translation, and words are often taken out of context just like mine were. Thoughts anyone?

up, as you can see from any nude Euopean beach where children frolic along with adults in perfect safety? Have Americans been totally perverted by Christian scare tactics?

foolish ministers do a lot of harm when they speak without compassion?
When I was hospitalized after I lost my baby back in the '90s, a minister came to cheer me up and the first thing he told me was that we are all born in sin. I couldn't believe someone would say that to a grieving mother who had just lost a child. I don't believe in Hell, but if he does, he's welcome to go.
Reply : I am touched deeply by what you have just said. It is bad enough that ministers say things like things like that to their congregations, but when they have no more sense than to say that to a grieving woman, they are despicable creatures

do they have a little photo ID badge, security pass and lanyard or something printed "official Al Qaeda member"? is it written on their clothes, turban or what?

I hate these kind of news reports.

This all seems such a load of rubbish, as if not wearing his uniform is going to solve anything.
Heard on the news today, George Bush himself was speaking, that he totally backs Musharraf. Why? It's not that long ago we were all told that al Qaida were training there,in camps & that osama bin Laden was hiding there! In Pakistan.
Is it because Pakistan is not far away from Iran?
What do you think?

We read that Gerry McCann thought of the BBC programme "These programmes have been useful in going over many of the facts and, I believe, emphasising that Madeleine was abducted and is still out there somewhere"

Did you draw the same conclusion as Gerry over the programme ?

We read with little surprise that the Portuguese police are preparing to halt their investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - but insist that her parents remain the prime suspects.

Is it time to halt the case and just leave Kate and Gerry as the MAIN SUSPECTS until evidence materialises to charge them ? Or should the Portuguese Police at the very least charge the two with serial Child Neglect ?

i know this is old but you guys know about the whold michael vick situation (well most of you) I was watching something on cable tv a couple of months ago and this guy was killing reindeer just to get it's antlers. I was just thinking that if this guy can actually go on television and kill these animals, why isn't he punished? but michael loses his football career for a dog fight. that isn't fair.
i know this is old news but it just got to thinking.

We read with no surprise that in a Daily Star phone poll yesterday, 86% said Kate and her husband Gerry, both 39, should be charged with child neglect.

Is it not time that there serial child neglectors were finally charged with leaving three children under 4 night after night in a foreign holiday appartment while they went out boozing the night away with their child neglecting friend ?

Quite a lot of crap in 2.5 years but so many theories and so many crackpots involved that Hollywood couldn't produce a better thriller.

Is it because the only evidence, by a national police force ie: the PJ (who have all the evidence) with their hands tied behind their back are leading us to believe....... KATE KILLED MADDIE!

Englands incompetent flops got paid £150.000 each last night for approx 2 hours work. Within that 2 hours they did not work for their manager, lost the support of the Fans and the Job of their Manager,Although he did a pretty good job of helping them.
A Nurse will work a 12 hour night shift and deal with abuse blood and death and, will receive less the £120 after tax It's time that things were changed.
How can a single person justify The wages them K nobs get over a nurse where is the justification. I think it's time that wage caps and limits were put in place, What do you think?

Your valued opinions please.
