On the 13 year anniversary of the brutal murders of the 3 eight year old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas in 1994 can anyone tell me the actual scheduled date of Damien Echols execution? I've searched WM3.Org but can't find a date. Do you think he will be executed?

Evening all i recieved a security warning today issued by london ambulance service of recent activities in their area

The below behaviour is uncommon but greater manchester police have described it as a potential

The street gangs in london (particulary south london)
have initiation tasks which have to be carried out in order to be part of the gang

The latest craze is to drive around deliberately with no lights on their cars

The first person who flashes them points or sound their horns at them has to be followed by the new gang member in their car who then has to fire a shot into that vehicle with no regards as to who is inside

Official instructions are to ignore any vehicle you see without lights


This is a serious issue
Please pass this info on to all you know as it may save a life

wouldn't it be wiser for the government to set up commitees with representives from all parties to try and solve these ills rather than think only they have the solutions?

I read today as many of you did, some mind numbing trivia that the prettier spears is having a baby. Usually I hate media distractions but sometimes they touch on the cultures views on larger issues, like black stars and the injustice system. But Jami ( if you were older I could say you were hot) spears is basking in maternal glow, proud to be a young mother and I say good for her. My generation has been obsessed with putting child birth off til after they finish partying and living at home which occurs around 45. I myself was a teen parent, I am 37 and my daughter is about to turn 20. My peers who waited are still getting divorced after waiting forever to get married. People acted like young parents was a curse when actually there has only been 1(now ) 2 generations in history where being a teen mother(like the virgin mary) hasn't been the norm. her family has $$ so no welfare, like many poor older women end up on after divorce. Why be 50 with a kid in pre-school. kids for 2-20

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Islam here, but what kind of sick people are these? Your thoughts please?

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23428447-details/British+children+targeted+with+terror+sing-along+DVD+for+would-be+suicide+bombers/article.do

A shocking sing-along children's DVD which glorifies suicide bombing is being investigated by anti-terrorist police after being found on sale in one of Britain's terrorist hotbeds.

The disc - part of an Egyptian-made series - is on sale in West Yorkshire, where three of the July 7 bombers lived, and is aimed at youngsters from the local Muslim community.

Introduced by a cute cartoon chicken, it contains three songs in Arabic which are illustrated with a video story. But any impression of its being an innocent music DVD is immediately dispelled by a song with English subtitles about two children who lose their mother when she blows herself up in a suicide bomb attack.

Got this by email a while ago. True?
PLEASE, respectful opinions toward Jews + Muslims.There’s enough hatred in the world already.

“Disgrace for England!
In England every memorial of the holocaust has been removed from the schools study programs, arguing that it hurts the Muslim population that denies the holocaust
That is… terrifying evidence of how easily countries can give in to anti-Semitism.It has been more than 60 years since the end of World War 2 in Europe as England didn't lift a finger to save the Jews that were Butchered by the Germans and now they are Boycotting Israel Academy and removing the Holocaust from the schools study programs
Let us remember those 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1900 catholic priests, that have been murdered, raped, burnt, starved to death, and humiliated by Nazis.
Considering the efforts of Iran and others denying the Holocaust, it is crucial to do whatever it takes to ensure that the World never forgets."

We read with little surprise that the worlds most infamous serial child neglectors and MAIN SUSPECTS are back in the frame thanks to new forensics evidence.

Police in Portugal are maintaining their case that Madeleine died in the flat on the night of 3 May and that Kate and Gerry remain prime suspects.

Looks as if all the money spent by the McConns has not worked in throwing the Police off the scent, or persuading the general public that they are 'innocent'

Will we se the two neglectors charged in the New Year ?

"Schadenfreude - is a German word meaning 'pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune'"

I bet some people think that word sums me right up ..........

To be fair its slightly true, but often I say things to stir it up around here.

Except for the McCanns who I genuinely don't like for 2 reasons.

a) The neglect of all 3 of their children.

b) Their refusal to accept that what they did constituted neglect.

"LONDON (Reuters) - Children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), which launched a global campaign on Thursday to promote more research into child medicine.

More than half the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialised world have not been specifically tested on youngsters, even though they metabolise medicines differently to adults.

As a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose.

The problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.

In the case of HIV/AIDS, the few existing paediatric therapies developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones."

Everyone should know about this and do what they can to remedy the situation.

When it comes to really important issues, there is no difference whatsoever between them. For example, in the latest bill to spend billions upon billions of US dollars on the war in Iraq--a war that has been a complete and utter failure from the get go--the Democrats voted the same as the Republicans. And the main reason, of course, is that they are all told what to do by the big military money interests, plus they get a few personal threats from the FBI or CIA to keep 'em in line, like good little puppets. It's amazing that most Americans haven't caught on to the way the game works. Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee may spell their names different, but you can't tell one from the other.
