I think that New Jersey did the right thing in a way. I feel sorry for the families that have to go through all of this.

C'mon...it's the latest thing, the MUST have gift of the season. That desert sun must be frying these people's brains in Arizona where they make these things.

I think they should come with portable defibrillators to start you back up when it disrupts your hearts electrical currents.

If the wife suddenly ups the insurance policy to a million you guys had better start getting worried! I wouldn't go picking a fight with her if you plan on getting her one of these.

Man how this guy can say this without cracking up just amazes me!!!

Hurry before they're all gone.

Like, what a bunch of HYPOCRITES.

On one hand they expect the cops to take the fall for using them, and on the other they market this sh*t like it's lipstick.

Give me a flippin (and you know which finger I'm flippin) break!

Two teachers have been suspended from a school in Kent over claims they tied up a student's arms and legs.
Folkestone Academy said it was alleged the sixth-form pupil was bound and left on the floor for several minutes in an end-of-lesson "prank" in November.
A letter to parents said staff were told in December about the incident.
"Although this incident may have been intended to be good humoured, the academy sees the alleged behaviour as totally inappropriate," it said.

your views on this, is it just another over reaction

environment? I very much love the wild, and would consider it a dream job if I could go and do something like report on something in the Amazon, Sahara, Alaska, or something like that. Are there departments for those kinds of jobs?

Jesus said,"Come to me, all you who are weary & burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

ok so how about im never home to watch the shows i enjoy, so i ushually go on youtube and catch up on some i evan watch some from the 90's. YOUTUBE started a copyright thing that all my shows; the girls next door, the simpsons, and boy meets world plus more have all been taken off of youtube. I think that they should be aloud to put the videos on. It is promoting there station but they still take them off. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL SIGN A PETTITION ALLOWING EPISODES ON YOUTUBE!

If so why?
One has no talent as a singer and he can't play football (soccer to you Yanks) either.
The other one is an empty headed, ski-jump nosed clothes horse.

V. Putin certainly is newsworthy and a Time representative said, "it's not a popularity contest". Still, I think the man who is the most notable is Preident George W Bush! He has done more damage to our country than Putin has even thought of doing to Russia! Bush's decisions have adversely affected more people, too. C'mon Time...be fair! What say you?

They all told us that the White House attorneys "spoke about destorying tapes" with the CIA.
but I think all indications say that the attorneys did in fact speak to the CIA about it, but demanded the tapes to NOT be destroyed.
They only mentioned to the public that the White House attorneys was in on the discussions....isnt it kinda important to let us know that they was on the other side of the table?
another example of the media trying to create news instead of simply reporting it.

On the 13 year anniversary of the brutal murders of the 3 eight year old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas in 1994 can anyone tell me the actual scheduled date of Damien Echols execution? I've searched WM3.Org but can't find a date. Do you think he will be executed?

Evening all i recieved a security warning today issued by london ambulance service of recent activities in their area

The below behaviour is uncommon but greater manchester police have described it as a potential

The street gangs in london (particulary south london)
have initiation tasks which have to be carried out in order to be part of the gang

The latest craze is to drive around deliberately with no lights on their cars

The first person who flashes them points or sound their horns at them has to be followed by the new gang member in their car who then has to fire a shot into that vehicle with no regards as to who is inside

Official instructions are to ignore any vehicle you see without lights


This is a serious issue
Please pass this info on to all you know as it may save a life

wouldn't it be wiser for the government to set up commitees with representives from all parties to try and solve these ills rather than think only they have the solutions?

Now polls are showing that not only is Mitt Romney catching back up in Iowa, but that Mike Huckabee is actually losing a fair portion of the support he's gained in the last month. Now he and Romney are essentially tied, 28% to 27%. Evangelical support for Huckabee slipped from 62% last week to 49% this week. Support from other Protestants has lagged from 33% to 17%. These are not just blips in the data; these are major declines.

As I've said before, this is very similar to Fred Thompson's "announcement bump" which faded almost as quickly as it flared up. Huckabee supporters are seeing past the mystique to the actual candidate. For a time, he wore the coveted "mantle of electability", but now his numbers have started to trend downwards among the very people he's appealed to the most over the last year.

What do you think?

I read today as many of you did, some mind numbing trivia that the prettier spears is having a baby. Usually I hate media distractions but sometimes they touch on the cultures views on larger issues, like black stars and the injustice system. But Jami ( if you were older I could say you were hot) spears is basking in maternal glow, proud to be a young mother and I say good for her. My generation has been obsessed with putting child birth off til after they finish partying and living at home which occurs around 45. I myself was a teen parent, I am 37 and my daughter is about to turn 20. My peers who waited are still getting divorced after waiting forever to get married. People acted like young parents was a curse when actually there has only been 1(now ) 2 generations in history where being a teen mother(like the virgin mary) hasn't been the norm. her family has $$ so no welfare, like many poor older women end up on after divorce. Why be 50 with a kid in pre-school. kids for 2-20
