This morning I saw in the NBC News on TV about a 10 ys old little girl writing " My father was killed in Iraq this year" After investigations no truth about that death. It became national news because she profit from this " Exploit the Death soldier".
My question is who is the best exploiter between the one who scare us and sent the alived soldiers to die for nothing, and the little girl exploited after their death?
I think the girl is the best because as young as ten she catching up very fast by learning from the great exploiter leader of the 21st century. We just wait another 20 years she gonna grown up to be better than GW Bush ten times.

For a liberal state I want to say I'm glad it still has the death penalty.

Right I know this happened a few years back and the man was sentenced to death but this guy didn't agree with abortions so he went to this place where they performed abortions, he killed the women who wanted the abortion and he killed the doctor who was perfoming the abortion so technically seen as a baby can't live without the mother at that stage of developement didn't he perform the abortion himself.
I mean doesn't that seem pretty stupid?

Michael Parkinson and Kylie Minogue are among those featuring in the New Year Honours list. Who do you think should be honoured?
Should we still be recognising people's achievements in this way?

We read that 'An unnamed source close to Metodo 3 told the Daily Mail: "On reflection they all thought his [Robert Murat] behaviour was a bit odd'

Now as you know the McCann saga is no laughing matter, but one has to smirk when Metodo 3 director Mad Marco 'she'll be home by Christmas' s now being referred to as 'an unamed source close to Metodo 3'.

Is there no let up with the farce of these Manuel of all detectives ?

You can bring in the sectarian violence if you want, but the colonies also had their own differences, no? Yet, I would think this simple comparison would give reason why things should be left alone in the region, period. If someone wanted to take over your house or worse, your country...wouldn't you fight tooth and nail today to defend it? Has ANYONE in government tried to look at such an approach and sum up why its useless...sure, we gotta fight terrorism, but haven't more people been killed by cigarettes, cancer and AIDS? Where's the billions of dollars and nationalism over that stuff? Since 9-11, how many US citizen civilians have actually been killed by a terrorist act that didn't want to be in such a situation (Haliburton employees, missionaries)?

Sure, I hear everyone say this stuff about Bin Laden and how we wanna catch him...but on what grounds? Bad film editing? Are people in the United States so naive and mentally flimsy? We should be on the White House lawn!

No, there is not. Nobody can say there is, because every fossil evolutionists have to date proposed as a "missing link" either turned out to be a hoax or else was removed from the literature because it had been distortedly interpreted.
Is it true that there have been shown to be millions of living fossils?
- Yes. Specimens of living fossils are displayed all over the world.The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution's claims. Fossils reveal that life forms on Earth have never undergone even the slightest change and have never developed into one another. Examining the fossil record, we see that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago—in other words, that they never underwent evolution. Even during the most ancient periods, life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structures–with the perfect and superior features, just as do their counterparts today.

or will they constantly be under the glare of publicity and innuendo that surrounds their parents and missing older sister? Do you think that they could be emotionally damaged by the events of this year - even though they may not remember them, but from stories they read and hear as they get older? I wonder what sort of psychological damage something like this could do to a child that grows up in this sort of an environment. What do you think?

Do we really need to have all of this waste at christmas.
Tons and tons of wrapping paper which is placed on a present for the sole purpose of being ripped off the next day.
Christmas cards, Tons and tons of cards being sent to each other just to say merry christmas and not to mention the fuel being burned by the automobiles delivering these cards.
Excesses of food being bought which is never likely to be consumed and ends up at the back of the cupboards or in the bin.

This year £1000 on presents next year £2000 and so on, the hours we work to earn that money do not equate to the pleasure derived from the spending of it,

The true meaning of christmas has long gone, now i is just a commercial venture to claw back as much of your earnings as possible

I am not suggesting for one moment that christmas should be banned, but surely it is in all of our interests, both ecologically and financially to tone it down a bit?

I mean it's karma at work.

All 3 were reported as trouble makers (nothing serious, just annoyances) and they were taunting the tiger before it mauled them.

Maybe I'm just sick in the head but it's kind of funny.

Copy and Paste Journalism
Now a days, a modern journalism is just knowing two keystrokes. Copy and paste. Or Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V.

I am an avid news lover and readers. I follow lots of stories because they are my food and drink. I love intentional and national news. But I found out that the majority of reporters just use copy and paste method from one single source. It could be an AP, Router, AFP or BBC. It is really shameful journalism. The funniest thing is, if the original reporter makes any kind of error that error will propagate in all major news medias. Wow! What happened true journalism? Is it plagiarism? Do you think copy and paste makes some one a true reporter? Now I don’t have any trust what I am reading from news and watching from TV. Some times I have to call to the place where the event happened and ask the people. That is citizen journalism. They will tell you the truth because they don’t benefit by spicing the story.

Shame on the media. Shame on the public. The family must be going through an awful nightmare. How dare people point the finger at the victims. If you're going to keep a tiger in the zoo for the public to exhibit, you take full responsiblity. The zoo is fully responsible. End of story.
