People are getting shot everyday if not shot then stabbed etc.
In the past month i lost a friend of mine who was beat to death for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and then at the weekend another person i know was stabbed but luckily has survived.
Then there is Rhys Jones,the 3 murded today in Hertfordshire.
When is it going to stop?
In my opinon i think its already too late to do anything.



No question-just thought id mention what a great tribute i thought Liverpool payed to Rhys Jones last night,I was watching the game as my partner is a Liverpool fan and when i seen his parents at the game and the crowd singing the Everton song in respect of him i was moved to tears.Liverpool even allowed them to wear Everton tops.What a great show of the whole Liverpool community spirit.

rooster fighting is popular in Texas and on the news sometimes. Where are the people protesting the cruelty of chickens like ya'll are protesting Vick and him fighting dogs. Aren't these both along the same immoral path????

why the hell is everyone over reacting soo much about michael vick and his dogfighting case? its not like it never happens, its probably happening hundreds of other places right now. plus- THEY ARE DOGS!!!!! dogs, people. what have dogs done for us. it may not have been the most ethical thing to do but hell, he did something useful with them. please people think about this. think about america right here: white people used slaves for hundreds of years. i never see people defending them. i never hear people talking about how bad the white people of the pre-civil war period were. and no im not black. but really, slaves were treated 10 times worse than these animals. he is getting more attention than if he had killed a person!!! personally i dont give a damn about what he did anymore, it was wrong, hes punished, and lets all just get over it.

Leona Hemsley left $12 million to her dog. Should that poor little poochie-woochie have to pay the death tax?

I'd have to think about it. Plus, I'd pee on her mausoleum every chance I got.

Personally, I think this cements her status as the Queen of Mean. What a hateful person.

With school starting, the April 16 attack at Virginia Tech that left 32 dead is still on many people’s minds. Some are looking for guarantees that such an attack won’t happen again.

Given the extensive scientific evidence that New Orleans is quite possibly the worst possible place in the United States to form a metropolis, and considering the fact that the tax payers are the ones that pay to rebuild the area, should we pour more money into a disaster prone, below sea level city that could very easily be toppled once again?

NEW YORK - Leona Helmsley's dog will continue to live an opulent life, and then be buried alongside her in a mausoleum. But two of Helmsley's grandchildren got nothing from the late luxury hotelier and real estate billionaire's estate.

We, like everyone else, await the results of the forensics from the recent searches. We do not know who has taken Madeleine or why. Sometimes people do things for reasons that even they cannot understand. An act of madness, an accident or sudden impulse can lead to consequences that people may never have imagined or intended. Faced with such a situation we believe any human soul will ultimately suffer torment and feelings of guilt and fear.

A natural disaster happens, people go crying for the government to help them. Why aren't Americans able to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and move on? Why do they expect the government to coddle and fend for them? Why aren't they fending for themselves?

I seem to remember it took a long time for the Governor of Louisiana to ask for help, and the Mayor of New Orleans did not tell people to leave until the very last minute. And why aren't individual states and municipalities (especially those prone to flooding and huricanes!!) responsible for preparing for these disasters, and for the inevitable clean up afterward.
I'm sorry for the people who lost their homes and/or family members, but after 2 years and millions of our nation's tax dollars, something's gotta give.
