I certainly. Much more so than Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq combined, in fact. Pakistan is on the brink of civil war, and there's a real possibility that islamic fundamentalists may gain control of the country including the dozens (if not more) of nuclear weapons that it already possesses. An incredibly serious problem, in my opinion.

Seems like he doesn't have any money since he hasn't been able to pay the Goldmans off. I'm surprised he could get anyone to take his case. What do you think?

I am not tring to spark a political debated or tring to play a political roll. I have family members whom are military. I am confused. The media and certain public officials always complain about placing our troops in harms way. I always thought that when joining the army that was a given. You chose to protect our way of life and to put yourself into harms way to protect the citizens of the United States of America. It is only in recent years the Military is used as a scholorship for college. I want to know how you feel and your opinion. Please no badgering each other or being rude. Just a question.

Do you believe the u.s. government when they say "Al qaida" is planning another attack? U.S. "Intelligence" released details of a plot to target shopping malls this holiday, do you think the plot is credible or do you think it's more "scare tactics" from the Bush administration .

I'm going to be digitalizing hundreds of slides and movie film. Once I do that, I'm going to throw the film away UNLESS there is some value to it. Is there any silver in the film that gives it any value? Is it enough to sell? Is there any desire for it as a recycle product...and if so who would take it?

Thanks for your thoughts.

BTW, I don't know if this was the best category to put this question, but I couldn't find one that seemed to fit any better.

If he has nothing to hide, why is he reluctant to let the PJ know anything at all about the 14 messages that were sent the night Maddie mysteriously vanished?

And please don't give me any rubbish about "he has a right to his privacy" or "they're just trying to set him up", if he were truly innocent, there would be nothing to hide and he would clear himself of any suspicion by just volunteering the information.

The boy, from Birkenhead, has also been charged with robbing Mr Croft.


What on earth is up with our kids? Jesus H Christ , this is vile.

With the Government currently considering a proposal to increase the points on a licence for being caught speeding on camera, what exactly is the point when the cameras cannot distinguish between safe and dangerous drivers? I consider myself to be safe driver but am sick and tired of seeing maniacs on the roads who slow down for cameras, then immediately speed up again, swerving in and out of traffic while they do it. In my mind cameras serve no other purpose than to raise revenue, and cynically so. Would it not be better getting more traffic police on the road than what is being proposed?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7086290.stm

Drivers caught speeding could be given more penalty points on their licence depending on how much over the speed limit they are.

Ministers are looking at a scheme under which the worst offenders would get six points on their driving licence.

This raises the prospect that drivers could face being banned from driving for two speeding offences.

Why is it that when someone has an oppinion against Immigration they are automatically branded a racist?
All over the place Whole housing estates are being built with the intention of housing Immigrants only! Is England in danger of becoming a shanty town?
Am I the only one who is finding that this is getting seriously out of control? What happened to our rights as British citizens? Why are the great British public standing for it??

Serious question, honest views please.
