News & Events - November 2007

Here is the beginning of the story from AP:

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Malaysian national carmaker Proton plans to team up with companies in Iran and Turkey to produce "Islamic cars" for the global market, a news report said Sunday.
--------------------------------------
The story goes on to say that no details of the car, including what exactly makes it "islamic" have been provided. My question is what do you think this car will be like? What special features do you expect it to have? I will award 10 points to the most creative answer.

I keep seeing the rhetoric all over this site, yet watch the video. CBS is notoriously liberal, so let's not attack the source. Amazing how the media throws in the facts only when it suits their story.

Are the English incapable of learning?

Consider:
1. The Brits have learned nothing from the controlled drinking culture of the Mediterreaneans or the abstinence of most Muslims.

2. They have learnt nothing from the work ethic of, for example, the Eastern Europeans (the Poles etc).

3. They have learnt nothing from the respect for education of the Asians (Chinese/Indians do best at school, the English are now bottom).

4. They have learnt nothing of the greater respect for family
of most immigrant communities. Their poorly raise kids are now the worst in Europe on virtually every social measure because of feckless parenting.

If you want to see indigenous English culture go to any town centre in the evenings and observe the 'binge, shag and vomit culture).

You will see why the English have the highest rates of crime, STDs, alcohol abuse and teen pregnancies in Europe.

Amanda Knox is implicated in the killing of a British student. She initially denied she was in the apartment where she was killed on that night, then she confirmed she was in the apartment but had nothing to do with the killing.

Now according to her lawyers she is sticking to her first story and saying that she was never at the apartment at all that night.

Just one problem ........ police have just discovered CCTV footage that shows her entering the apartment at 8:43pm.

And as they say in the Metro:

'A police source in Perugia, said: "It will be interesting to see what she has to say when we show her the footage."

Oh dear ....... looks like she's going to need to tell a 4th version of the story now to get around this.

After hearing about the conditions and lack of everything the soldiers see.m to be having, wouldn't it be a good idea for the legion to issue some kind of emblem that the public could donate to. I'm sure people will be saying well thats up to the govt but I'm afraid they would have a long wait.

Why does user 'JOhn Belushi' find it so hard to understand the concept of 'student social worker' and continue to post things that everyone with half a brain cell knows is a dig at me?

and why on earth do people answer him in agreement? Are they as stupid as him?

Did you also know that Ritalin (a popular ADHD medication) kills more people than cocaine does? I will try to find that statistic but I fear it was in my 'drugs training' at work.

do you have any experience of ADHD and or medications?
