The news networks could focus on other more important stories, like the tragic flooding of the Mexican state of Tabasco, or the mudslide that wiped out an entire town in the state of Chiapas, also in Mexico. Maybe the public would get to know about the dangers of trying to wade through water that is infested with snakes and crocs, not to mention dead bodies. In the light of these tragic events that should appeal to our generous nature, Mr. Simpson's apparently big problem seems pointless and superficial.

How sad because it seems we have conveniently forgotten that Mexico was one of the first to send aid relief during the Katrina crisis.

say about the case and about Stacey Peterson. I think he's right on. He's very well respected and has helped find hundreds of missing persons. What do you think??

You have to click on the link then scroll down a bit - to the right you will see a picture of Stacey Peterson (looks like a mug shot) - the caption under her pic says "john walsch on missing mom stacey peterson"

They're little like craft beads and apparently, if you swallow them, your body metabolizes and turns them into GHB (also known as the date rape drug). You feel euphoria in small amounts but larger amounts causes amnesia and black-outs and potentially, death. It's just a freak thing and the manufacturers didn't intentionally do anything. Ironically, it's made in China. It wasn't intended for small children but apparently a couple of toddlers ate them and showed positive for GHB. Isn't that bizzare?

Construction is continuing in dozens of Jewish settlements in the West Bank despite Israel's pledge to freeze their expansion, an campaign group has said.
Peace Now says Jewish population growth is three times higher in the area occupied in 1967 than in Israel itself.


why aren't the world leaders addressing this issue as the land is ILLEGAL occupied???

From David Icke interview........

Q: Burke's Peerage clearly acknowledges that George W. Bush & John Kerry are distant cousins, both of whom are related to the British royal family. Have you received shape-shifting reports of either of these "oppo-same" presidential candidates? Is the US population screwed either way?

A: David Icke: The Bush family is one of these Illuminati royal bloodlines that go back to ancient times and these are shapeshifters that can take either human or reptilian form. It s all holographic trickery because everything, including the body, is a hologram and not solid as it appears to be. I have had many reports of people seeing father Bush shapeshift. As for Kerry, he is said by Burkes Peerage to be more royal in his bloodline than any American president, so he s of the shapeshifter bloodline, too. Only the bloodline gets into the Skull and Bones Society. Kerry and Bush are both related to the British royal family and Vlad the Impaler (Count Dracula)

What's the deal here? Every day I turn on the news and something else is being recalled from China because it contains unhealthy chemicals or something. Why are we still buying from these people and has anyone taken into considration that this could be a silent attack on the rest of the world? China is a very secretive country that doesn't allow the rest of the world to know too much about it. If it says "made in China" don't buy it!!!

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20071108/tuk-school-stripper-shocks-birthday-boy-6323e80_1.html

A schoolboy was given an unexpected surprise for his 16th birthday when a stripper turned up in his drama class.
The stripper - dressed as a policewoman - had been booked by the boy's mother, who had apparently asked for a "gorilla" to mark her son's big day.
The woman even asked the teenager's teacher at Nottingham's Arnold Hill School and Technology College to film the event so the family could see his reaction.
It was only when she asked the schoolboy to rub cream on her that the shocked teacher called a halt to the show.
The boy's mother reportedly told the school the incident was the result of a booking error.

what sort of mum would book this, shuld she be charged???

In a blogger news network exclusive it can be revealed the National enquirer and A&E net work may be the apparent targets of an alleged financial and contractual Hoax. Concocted by Duane Dog the bounty hunter Chapman himself.

Insiders claim the alleged motive is an attempt to avoid contractual obligations with A&E network and defraud the National enquirer out of money by staging the entire infamous tape recorded racial tirade.

Reliable sources at A&E speaking off the record report Duane Chapman’s particular reference to the National enquirer in the tape itself set off red flags for those investigating the controversy.

“Very peculiar that someone in the middle of some very serious issues related to contractual obligations with the network becomes the center of a firestorm that requires the network to show him the door” remarked the insider who was not at liberty to give specifics pending further investigation.

“The Kara is a very important Sikh symbol and a constant reminder to me to do good..."

Erm, you shouldn't need to wear something to know that you should do good!

I believe that it is now time to ban all religious clothing/jewellery from schools. People should not be allowed to use taxpayers' money to fight decisions like this.

The word "uniform" comes from the Latin word "uniformis", meaning "having ONE form".

This should not be compromised for the sake of superstitious belief.

For fairness, either you BAN everything, or you ALLOW everything.

As the latter is unworkable - you can't have Satanists wearing daggers - the only viable option is to ban all religious clothing and jewellery, otherwise you are not treating every pupil equally and fairly.

Thoughts?

I am a teacher in an English secondary school.

Last month in the teachers' staff room I stated my opinion that women are, on average, of lower intelligence than men.

I have now been suspended, pending further investigation.

I've never had any complaints about my teaching and have never been accused of treating male and female students differently.

Can you now not say anything, or be honest about your opinions, in case you offend someone?

Paris Hilton wins Nobel Peace prize

Rex
Paris Hilton has won the Nobel Peace prize for her role in eradicating war and poverty in Africa.

The former socialite has devoted the last ten years of her life to working in the war-torn continent after visiting Rwanda to film a reality TV show.

The dramatic turnaround followed her jail sentence for driving offences in 2007, after which she pledged to use her fame to raise awareness of good causes.

Hilton beat ex-British Prime Minister Lord Blair, who was nominated for finally bringing lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians in his role as Middle East envoy.

She told DS: "I merely highlighted the problem. The solution was entirely down to UNESCO, the people of Africa and a proper, considered application of the Lewis economic model. It's not all to do with fiscal aberrations and macroeconomic indices - remember, behind every skewed Gini coefficient is a crying child."

The 36-year-old is expected to accept the award in the sky-blue tabbard she has worn since pledging her fortune to Médecins Sans Frontières in 2011. She has already vowed to donate the $1 million prize to the chain of Hilton Hospices she has opened across Africa.

The Nobel committee said: "We are proud to be able to give this award to Miss Hilton, who has picked up the mantle of Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa and run with it."

Her spokesman said: "Nobody took Paris seriously when she said she was going to change her life. But after visiting Rwanda, she knew she had to make a difference. Probably it was a mistake to release an R'n'B version of 'We Are The World' surrounded by African orphans, but since then she has been almost single-handedly responsible for changing the fortunes of an entire continent."

What conditions must this child have experienced to take such a drastic action at 11 years of age?
For months now the focus has been on a single lost girl when there are so many other children suffering on a daily basis that they are contemplating and committing suicide. It is a very sad state that our world is in!

After all, it was Thatcher who said that, according to her, there is no such thing as society.

So who are the Tories to lecture anyone about breakdown in society???

I would trust the Tories to make things better about as much as I would trust that odious cretin Geoffrey Archer!

The following is taken from an Indian newspaper. It says of the British media (and so is a reflection of the people who read it).......

"...wild, unsubstantiated, and inaccurate reports guaranteed to hinder any investigation... McCann bashing... treated a middle class family of doctors and their unfortunate daughter... to the same kind of ghoulish voyeurism it reserves for its hard-bitten politicians and celebrities."

"It's time some responsible element in the British media establishment stood up and said: "We've done enough damage, we really can't find her, so let's stop the circus, shut up, and leave it to experts." And pray that the child can someday get to know the history she's making."

So, anti-McCanns, will you follow this good advice?

Or will you continue to poison the reputation of British people in the eyes of the world?

The ten year old boy may be responsible for starting the southern California fire by playing with matches; but he is not responsible for the devastation caused by the fire. The blame lies on the shoulders of the government officials; housing authorities, and home owners, who did not provide adequate planning for fire prevention and protection when constructing homes through out southern California. If criminal charges are brought against anyone, it should be the responsible parties. In my opinion, the child is being used to divert the blame from the real root cause of the devastation. The fire could have been started by a spark from muffler, lightning strike, etc.; it would have had the same devastating results.

To the rest of the world, including many Christians, American foreign policy is too one-sided towards Israel. Even criticising Israel in the US seems to bring down a hail of accusations of "anti-semitism" - often unfairly. Is it time for a more open debate in which supporters of both Israel and the Palestinians can express that support. After all the US Constitution talks of freedom of speech.
