Current Events - September 2007

Somebody answered a question of mine with this and I have to say I had a giggle as it did strike a chord after some of the things I have read . . .

Is it the aura this guy gives off or is he seriously a bad guy? Personally, I hate Bush - I don't believe he knows how to run the country, but I trust him. Ahmadinejad on the other hand, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

One way of doing something about it is to stop purchasing anything made in China. The Chinese have the power to stop this but they refuse to do so because they need Burma's oil!
If you are unsure whether or not a product is made in China, read the label and or directions for use. If the directions read like it was written by a 6 year old with dyslexia who has never learned the definition of plural then you probably have a Chinese item in your hand. If the following phrases appear on the label you are probably dealing with a Chinese product:
"Happy are we" "Happy Happy" "Happy is smile" "How smile is happy" "We to smile while happy" "How smile we are to happy" and finally "If happy and smile we smile happy"

It seems they may have been negligent as Huntley is supposed to be on suicide watch. The guards have a duty of care under the terms of their employment contract. In this light should there be an internal enquiry by the Prison Service and those found to be remiss in their duties disciplined?

BUT....i feel its really important to remember that while some are finding it very amusing and posting videos playing psycho killer etc...and asking continual questions regarding the parents.....it all disrespects the little girl in question. if the parents are guilty...then the truth will come out, but in the meantime every mean and unfounded comment is really quite an insult to the little one. its only my opinion though, and i'm not having a go at anyone, but would it help to focus more on positive thoughts for the child than making nasty cheap potshots at ther family. ????Please don't have a go...its just a thought xx

Iraq wouldn't let UN inspectors verify that there were no WMDs. We received information that it had an active nuclear weapons program, as well as chemical and biological weapons, not to mention that a murderous anti-U.S. dictator was running the country. We sent in our troops to verify there were no WMDs and no nuclear program. For good measure, we removed Hussein and his cronies, set up the semblance of a democracy, did our best to get the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds together, and killed a few terrorists. Can't we now credibly say "job well done" and go home? Because it seems to me that if our goal is to make sure Iraq remains a democracy, wipe out the terrorist network, and to compel the different factions get along, our troops will be there for a very long time indeed, always at risk of life and limb.

Hello, I was wondering where are the blacks in france mostly from. what part of africa? I know african americans are west africans from Gambian and some other west africa country ,so they were the purest africans I believe. That's what a man from africa told me. East africans are lighter africans in africa , west africans are the darker ones, mostly pure, I believe. Most people thank all africans are all pure,, but I have meet many that came to the US, and i though they were just regulary light skin blacks. I was surprise. Very beautiful people. It's not want you think how it is on the media.

So these teachers who end up having sex, and relationships with a student; do you think they became teachers to get near the young girls, or do you think once they became teachers they just so happen to meet a young girl they could not resist?

Basically, did they work twords this, or did it just happen to them?

I was watching Dr. Phil and Thats what made me ask...But No i dont support them. They got exactly what they deserve. They knew what they did was wrong and still continued. If it was a one on one fight or two to one and no one got knocked unconcious then suspension or expulsion would be fair, but they went way too far. I dont believe they got locked up because of the fact that they are african american (i am half myself), but because of their actions.

This was forwarded to me by a friend with what he says are "no political affliations," but I don't know. Anyway, its a list of people that the Clinton family apparently knew very well, and claims that they are all dead now.

James McDougal, Mary Mahoney, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, C. Victor Raiser II, Paul Tulley, Ed Willey, Jerry Parks, James Bunch, James Wilson, Kathy Ferguson, Bill Shelton, Gandy Baugh, Florence Martin, Suzanne Coleman, Paula Grober, Danny Casolaro, Paul Wilcher, Jon Parnell Walker, Barbara Wise, Charles Meissner, Dr. Stanley Heard, Stanley Huggins, Hershell Friday, Keith McMaskle, Gregory Collins, Jeff Rhodes, James Milan, Jordan Kettleson, Richard Winters, and a list of twelve former Clinton bodyguards.

Now, it does not surprise me that the Clintons know dead people. But what does surprise me is what the email claims were the causes of death: there is a re-occuring theme of "plane crash," or "aircraft related incident" and in relation to something called the

What in the world does the separation of church and state have ANYTHING to do with the pledge having "one nation under God"?

The Church doesn't have any say in legal or government matters anymore. Nor is the government putting in law that you must be in such and such religon.

Wikipedia says it best:
"Separation of church and state is a political and legal doctrine which states that government and religious institutions are to be kept separate and independent of one another."

"The phrase is never stated in the constitution. The first amendment states that government will not create a national religion however government officials have the right to practice any religious ideas that they want."

Why are adults and teenagers so misinformed?

These High Schoolers are walking out because they have to say "under God", saying it's unconstitutional.

"Clarence will try and minimise the impact of the huge media interest in Madeleine’s disappearance on us, as we try and return slowly towards as normal a life as is possible. Although we will NEVER give up on Madeleine"

Isn't asking for minimised publicity, in a way, giving up on Madeleine??

How many parents on Yahoo tonight would even consider "as normal a life as is possible" a possibility if you did not know where your child was? Would you want your normal life back? or would you want to keep your missing daughters profile as high as possible and for as long as possible?
