I do get what he did, but do to vocabulary, I don't exactly get the whole idea.

So he was killing animals?

For what?

What do they mean by "dogfighting conspiracy"?

Were treated this way? -
and responded to societal pressures, as he apparently has?

Hi all you Yahooaholics!!

Reading the article in the Yahoo News today, something caught my eye that I had to read.

Will Smith has came clean, and said he would love to become the Prime Minister. I think this would be amazing!, due to Will Smith having a great atmosphere to life, and the way he does it.

Being Prime Minister would mean he would have to stop doing films; something he is so passion about, but to be fair to Will Smith some films he's doing coming out are going to be the best of the year maybe, and some already i.e. I-Robot was a huge hit.

Do you think Will Smith would make a good Prime Minister?
Do you think George Bush is making a good Prime Minster


Thanks

Or did they read about me bitching about wasting the taxpayers money on one case when there are so many other missing people in that area? Yea, right.

Seriously is this the proof we need that Bush lied yet?

Or do we have to invent the time machine and go back to see him lie to be sure?

Why bother to have adverts to stop people drinking too much and driving over Christmas. Why shouldn´t we just have zero tolerence. If you drive, then don´t drink. I like a drink as much as anyone, perhaps more at times, but I don´t drink and drive. Surely by doing that we wouldn´t need a Christmas no drinking campaign each year.. Some people will still drink & drive, but you would know that one drink would be one drink too many.

The McCanns and their Tapas group have had a reunion to "talk tactics". Why they need tactics instead of just telling the truth speaks volumes. Apparently it was held in a hotel last month, just after the reports that 2 of the Tapas group wanted to change their statements. It is unclear whether Diane Webster who is the mother of Fiona Payne attended. She is the woman who contradicted the others by saying that the group were responsible for checking their OWN children. She also didn't move from the table in the Tapas bar after Kate came in screaming " they've taken Madeleine" instead, according to the waiters she just sat there looking scared.
So, suspects and witnesses getting together to talk tactics. My opinion is that this "reunion" was planned so that the Tapas group could tie up lose ends in their fairy tale abduction and svengali Gerry could reassure himself that their was no weak link in the chain of lies, possibly putting on the pressure on any of the group who were wavering

Why didnt they just sell their properties instead of getting deeper and deeper into debt, what is it with these people?

2007-12-09 22:59:21 · 19 answers · asked by Anonymous in Current Events

A while ago I was going through the post and found a debt letter about a water bill - I pay my water bill by direct debit so ignored it as it was not in my name - I was a bit suspicious as it was addressed to Mrs then my partners surname - we are not married.

We got another one last week so I called and said nobody of that name lives at this address and in any case I pay my water bill by DD. They said they could not give me any info but assured me baliffs would not be calling - how kind of them!

I am just wondering if someone has made up an ID using our address and my partners surname - I was further confused as it is a water bill and surely Thames Water know I pay by DD using my name?

I am very confused (and a little concerned) has anyone else had this, or something similar happen?

So, I'm walking along a road in traffic polluted central London smoking a roll up when a woman behind me with a buggy asks if she can go ahead of me. Thinking she must be in a hurry I move out of the way, but as I'm a fast walker and she's not I end up overtaking her, so she gets all pissy with me saying 'I need to walk ahead as you're blowing smoke in my baby's face!' which is just rubbish as the child is protected by the hood on the buggy and we're surrounded by car exhaust fumes anyway - what would you do in that situation?

It doesn`t sound as though the PJ have much faith in the UK police to get the job done.
I expect they are only asking permission to question them here as a curtesy.
I would think they could summon them all out to Portugal for grilling, am I right?

So she's back in the country with a face like a wet weekend wanting us all to feel sorry for her. 'I'm a terrible mother' she wails. True. 'My husband is a really persuasive man' she says. So what? I say. Nobody forced her to spend all that money she got in her insurance payout. Nobody forced her to hide him from the rest of the world. Nobody forced her to keep quiet to her two grieving sons or to keep the news that the dad they adored was actually alive and well. Dad was perfectly happy hiding away, planning how to spend their illgotten gains, mum knew he was alive and well and planning with him but the boys were kept in the dark. How selfish is that?

The sons Mark and Anthony have my deepest symapthy. Everything they had thought about their parents has been smashed to smithereens. Ok they're adults but that makes no difference. I also have to congratulate them for behaving with absolute dignity in all this. My heart goes out to them.

Ann Darwin returned to the UK to turn herself in, so why were so many police resources diverted to arrest her.

We read that the Police want to 'turn the screws' on serial child neglectors and MAIN SUSPECTS Kate and Gerry McCann in the forthcoming interviews. It is further reported that detectives will visit the smug pair on Christmas Day. Police want to get the pair, who paid part of their mortgage out of a fund to find their daughter, to crack under questioning and reveal what really happened on May 3rd.

Is the game finally up for the child neglecting duo ?

I am, of course, talking about the unending gossiping by members of the public about the McCann story...

Kate killed her! Oh no she didn't! Oh yes she did! And on and on and on. So much said, so very little of it bearing even a vague resemblance to the truth.

The whole media circus which the country's curtain twitchers have feasted on like vultures has been a national embarrassment.

Okay, one question that I haven't heard any commentary on since the shooting at a megachurch today in Colorado:

1) The church has a security staff?
2) The security staff is armed with guns?
3) A security staff member shoots and kills the suspect?

Point to ponder: Why does a church need security, and why does the church presume it needs 'armed' security?

What hath become of their faith, and believing that God will take care of them. Why do they need to resort to having armed security forces to protect them whilst they worship? God is a god of peace. Is this whole situation a bit of hypocrisy?
