Current Events - October 2007

The Far Right war mongers are just itching to bomb Iranian women and children. Why? because a bunch of right wing "think" tanks, far right christian and jewish zealots tell them this is a "good" idea. Anyone who dares to oppose these Nazi thugs is labelled a "terrorist sympathiser" or "soft on terrorists" or some other bullshit Nazi propaganda line. When people ask Why?? Why kill millions of Iranians?? the Right Wing machine breaks into the mantra of "war on terrorism" even though there is no evidence the iranians are anywhere near building a bomb.

I noticed a lot of people have a little "niche" in yahoo answers when they ask questions.
For example the fella' who does "Which is todays "R&S Dumb question of the day". Or the Homie "MeatBot" who always has good questions for the people of R&S.

I'll be starting my own niche "Interesting News of the day". I'll to my best to keep it fun and exciting. Hopefully I can keep you guys interested!

I would love comments and opinions on the story in question.
Is the threat of a fine justified in this case?

All support is appreciated. Thanks!

At what point is the value of human life more important than killing a few "suspected" insurgents because you can't wait for a more opportune time?

And doesn't "suspected terrorists" mean they think they might be insurgents. So we are killing people and blowing stuff up over speculation of terror these days?

Man - this is complete madness.

Kill everyone in Iraq as long as we make a point to a few hundred al-Qaida members

Where is the morality.

And I have to ask - Was Blackwater involved?

In the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, many children were born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried them and nobody worried about it. They took aspirin, ate cheese dressings and didn't test for diabetes. There were no child-proof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets. When children rode on bikes, there were no helmets and often no brakes. In the cars there were no seat belts or air bags. Water was often drunk from a garden hose or a public tap - certainly not from a water bottle! Ginger - lemonade - was drunk from a bottle passed from child to child. Children ate sweets whenever they could but were not overweight because they were active - outside playing. In fact, during school holiday, they often were away from home from morning till it got dark. They built bogies - go-carts - out of scrap wood and old pram wheels and rode them downhill with no brakes and when it snowed they slid down hills on tea trays thus coming to terms with the law of gravity. There were no Playstations, Nintendos, Xboxes, no video games, no 99 channels on cable, no video or DVD movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet … but children had friends with whom they played outside. They fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth but there were no lawsuits for these accidents. Games were invented with sticks and tennis balls, old tin cans and the like. Children walked to school without supervision or children wardens to see them across the street. They could go to a friend's house and knock on the door or even just walk in. When it came to organised games like football, not everyone got picked to play, but they just had to deal with that. And when they got into trouble at school or whatever, parents sided with the authorities. That generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever because they had freedom, failure and success. They took responsibility for themselves and they learned how to deal with it

A nice spokesman has confirmed that low to moderate levels of alcohol are safe for both men as well as women during pregnancy.
Women are therefore advised to drink moderately, and teetotal women to start drinking until November 2008 when alcohol will become dangerous again. However it's not all doom and gloom. The spokesman added that following changes in this week's pre budget statement, cannabis will be downgraded to harmless or nearly harmless as of April next year. Sales of peanuts are likely to remain buoyant until they officially become dangerous again in 2008, although unwashed prebagged salad will remain moderately popular again from late next year until the next General Election.

A question was asked earlier about force feeding people that were on hunger strike.

Tonight, I force fed myself a whole Terry's Chocolate Orange to see what it would feel like.

I can confirm it was very painful

Do you agree with force feeding?

I wondered how long it would be before Gerry would be suing ...again. He and his PR spin machine are a laughing stock
Clarence Mitchell says,
He said that the couple planned to sue 24 Horas over the allegations about Madeleine's paternity as soon as their official suspect status was lifted.

"We have up to a year to sue and we will do. Gerry and Kate want to concentrate on the case involving Madeleine and don't want to do anything that may compromise that while they are official suspects," he said.

"But they plan to sue 24 hours and any other media outlets that print these claims as soon as the official suspect status is lifted."

That's if they are not otherwise engaged.Clarrie.
My question is...When are they going to hold their hands up,think of Maddy and tell the truth instead of spinning around chasing their tails ? Pro McCanns don't need to answer.

As you may know, yesterday a shooting occured at Success Tech here in Ohio. And a few months ago, a shooting at Virginia Tech broke out. Not to mention Columbia and other shootings. What can we do to prevent this from happening? Initiate random locker/bag searches throughout the week? It seems impossible to avoid such a spontaneous event like that, but what do YOU think could be done?

We read that Kate and Gerry McCann remain the MAIN SUSPECTS in the case of the disappearance of their own daughter. This confirmation did not come from some leaking Police minnow via '24 Horas' but were the words of Portugals Top Police Officer Alipio Ribeiro.

Tommorow brings new DNA evidence from the forensics labs in Birmingham so the Portuguese may well have enough evidence by the weekend to consider bringing charges.

Is it time for Kate and Gerry to stop fooling around wasting time and money on distractions for media PR purposes and 'come clean' as to what REALLY happened to Madeleine McCann on the night of 3rd May 2007 ?

Cleveland, Ohio - Asa Coon, wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt, black jeans and black nail polish, opened fire with two revolvers on Wednesday, wounding two students and two teachers at SuccessTech Academy in downtown Cleveland. Coon, 14, had a history of mental problems and was known for cursing at teachers and bickering with students.

Nashville, TN - Ronzell Mason, 14, admitted that he shot and killed Classie Wilson, 70, in her east Nashville convenience store after she refused to sell cigarettes to him, according to police. He advised police investigators that he was affiliated with the five deuce crip (gang).

That when Bush tries, unsuccessfully I may add, to deny that the Turks committed Genocide on the Armenians, the only thing that is deafening, is the silence of the average american idiot?
Story here in case you missed it;
http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/1010/armenia.html

Of course Turkey is counted as an "ally" by the Bush admin isn't it? And they don't seem to be very happy about being in the same historical boat as the Nazi's or Stalin's communists either. Know what? Too friggen bad.
When you commit genocide (or try to defend it, like Bush just did) then prepare to be treated as such.
And just one more question for people who DO support this mindless chimp, what the hell are you people thinking?
