I keep getting calls from this number, so I thought i'd look it up on the internet and see who it belonged to, only all I can find is lots of people looking for the same answer. Any ideas?

Some CBS affiliates are canceling or delaying the airing of this documentary after fears that they'll be fined by the FCC have arisen. The documentary follows firefighters during that day and their language is unedited. Apparently, there is a possibility that stations could receive a $325,000 fine for airing "obscenities." I guess where the problem lies is here:

"...The announcement came as the Tupelo, Miss.-based American Family Association readied its 3 million members to flood the FCC and CBS with complaints after the documentary airs..."

Do you think it's inappropriate to air between 8 and 10pm? Do you think parents who allowed their children to watch this (whatever age) would be more appalled by the firefighter's language than the reality of that day? Does it make you wonder where some people's priorities are?

If you agree with this family group, why? How can the actual replaying of history be obscene? How do you compare an entertainer flashing with that day's events?

Its not my imagination right, that the West has become obsessed with Islam and "The Muslim Issue" - is it true to say that not all Muslims are terrorists, but at the moment, all terrorists are Muslims? Or are we just pandering to the extremists and giving them what they want? Focus and News minutes?

The U.S. is the international watchdog for countries wanting and/or amassing nuclear weapons. She also has her own stockpile.
Surely other countries also have superior capabilities wherein they know exactly where OUR nuclear weapons are stored.
Such countries also know about the nuclear capabilities (and stockpiles) of other locations throughout the world.
I believe the capabilities in MANY other countries are far beyond what the U.S. has discovered behind its "nuclear" microscopes, especially since her 'intelligence' is so sadly lacking.
South Africa has not attempted to conceal her already up and running enrichment of uranium (for energy purposes of course). Apparently they have been doing this for quite a while.
So..despite the US and its giant capabilities... who else is getting there, is almost there, or is already there when it comes to the nuclear arms race.
(It is apparent that Israel has nuclear weapons.)
(.Cuba.remains quest. despite reports she has none)

1 John Chapter 4 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh be longs to God,
and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus Christ does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.
You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
They belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them.
We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
**(Jesus is not just a prophet! The prophets PROPHESIED about the coming of Jesus Christ!)*

I opened the paper today only to read that more home grown terrorists are actually traing here in the uk.
I for one am discusted.As all seem to be born BRITISH pakistans.

Before they brain wash more young muslims.

Obesity engulfing world, say experts

Pandemic ‘led by affluent western nations’


Agence France-Presse
Last updated 04:36pm (Mla time) 09/03/2006


SYDNEY -- Obesity has reached pandemic proportions throughout the world and is now the greatest single contributor to chronic disease, an international conference was told here on Sunday.

"This insidious, creeping pandemic of obesity is now engulfing the entire world," Australia's Monash University professor Paul Zimmet, chair of the 10th International Congress on Obesity, said on the opening day of the conference.

The spread of the problem was "led by affluent western nations, whose physical activity and dietary habits are regrettably being adopted by developing nations," Zimmet told more than 2,000 delegates.

The world now has more fat people than hungry ones, according to World Health Organization figures, with more than a billion overweight people compared to 800 million who are undernourished.

There has been a case of benefit fraud going on in england this week where a woman claimed she could not work as she was incapable of doing any kind of activity due to having excessive orgasms as soon as she started. Sex was not involved and she had had the condition for years, apparently

The prosecuters went "yeah, right, whatever" and did her for claiming Disability allowance for it...

Could you live with it?
Should she have got the benefits?

Soldiers who lost limbs learn to surf
By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press Writer

PISMO BEACH, Calif. - As a child of 1970s California, Derek McGinnis felt that riding waves was like a birthright, and losing his left leg to a suicide bomber in Iraq wasn't going to stop him from surfing again.
