Whenever I am assigned to do a story for the newspaper, I get scared and I put off the story. I find it a little intimidating at first but once I get into I am okay. I don't really understand the intital fear...if I love writing so much, why do I put off the story till later? Does anyone else feel this way about articles or anything else? Especially if they really love this particular thing?

Taliban fighters have overrun a second district in western Afghanistan, a district governor said Friday, warning the rebels could be planning to sweep into his own area. The USA seems to be powerless.

And by 'winning', I mean that we are beginning to create an environment where we can rebuild Iraq into a fully functional, well ordered democracy. With less violence in Iraq, perhaps we can start to do this.

What do you think?

I just asked a question about Poppies from a pacifist perspective, and some people that answered did so in a quite an agressive manner - how can expressisions of pacifism make some people aggressive ?

PEACE

For better or worse, I've volunteered to do the newsletter for our homeowners association. I'm trying to come up with a catchy name for the publication. Our town is on the lake. The neighborhood is called Wickfield Farms. Any creative ideas? Thanks!

thought my question was within the bounds of good taste, and less than 2% that took offense to the question. How come Yahoo allows less than 2% of the participants to dictate to the other 98% of us?
By the way, if you think I posted this question yesterday, you are right, but someone had that question also deleted before I had a chance to read the answers, so here I am again. Do you think it was Yahoo that didn't like my second question, or was it someone with a personal problem that can object anytime he/she pleases and get the complete cooperation of Yahoo?

The average age in the UK continues to increase as does our already growing pensions sector of the population. Those people receiving pensions are only supported by those in work and generating weath and income and paying taxes and national insurance to pay for them.

As it stands, with an increasing age profile, static birth rate and high skills emigration, the only way to support our increasing pensioner base is net immigration of young working people on a large scale.

So whether you like it or not, we have two options 1) cull the old (never going to happen anytime soon) 2) continue net immigration into this country.

Did you realise this ?

This is a weekly magazine at www.thisweekmagazine.com. It is a paper production that is mailed to subscribers. I may be interested depending on whether it has a liberal or a conservative slant or focus. Thanks

To all those who have insulted me and said some terrible things. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? I am entitled to my opinion the same way you are. I have never insulted anyone one here and I never will because I respect the opinions of others even if I disagree with them. That's what this is remember, a forum, where people of differing opinions can voice them. Please just don't look at my posts if you can't handle an OPINION that differs from yours. The McCann case is ALL speculation because NO ONE KNOWS what happened so your theory of abduction is as much speculation as my theory of the parents involvement. I'm thick skinned but some of the insults I have had thrown at me lately are disgusting.

Pic of Obama, Hilary, etc. on net. All with hands over hearts and saying pledge of allegiance except Obama.
Do we really want someone like that for commander-in-chief?

I mean, fancy naming your town "Tabasco". Should other towns follow in this vain, Brighton, England, could become, "Encona hot pepper" for instance. Anybody got any other ideas? Thanks.
