Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

I know the news is doing it's job and news is news but why would we want everyone to know about these issues. Shouldn't these things be taken care of internally? Why would the FBI release this? Isn't this just saying "Hey terrorists, you can get whatever you want on a plane here in the US", or "come use your Anthrax here, you'll kill thousands and we couldn't stop it."?

Why is it that respected and distinguished army officers, politicians, scientists, congressmen, and other well informed people INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE 9/11 COMMISSION doubt the official conclusions?

Why can't they see what every ignorant and ill informed nobody can see without even looking at the evidence?

Millions of Americans watch Fox News, etc., and ignore every other news source, do not enquire for themselves, and yet they know instinctively that the 911 attacks were carried out by a few arabs with little knives controlled by a bearded lunatic in a cave. There is no need to look at the evidence, as only a complete moron would doubt that the official conclusions are definitive, and that the government has done everything possible to identify the culprits.

What is it with these intelligent, educated and knowledgeable people? Risking ridicule for what they believe in! Fools!

November 22 will be the anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination.

44 years after John F. Kennedy's death, many still believe Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill Kennedy.

I want to know:

Do you believe in conspiracy? If so, why? and who do you think was involved?

Do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone?

Yes, yes. I saw that beautiful woman on CNN Headline
news this morning. Kiran works for CNN, the main
station. Both are just breathtaking.... It is something
about that Robin Meade though. I mean she sends
shivers down my spine. At the end of the day, it seems
like the whole world is behind the Kiran Chetry band-
wagon. Is there any love for the other side ? Is Kiran
hotter than Robin Meade ? CNN'S finest here.
Best answer wins. * Oh yeah, watch the news.

Above is a link to a story about women trying to get equal rights to go topless. The question is.....Does anyone really mind if women start walking the streets topless? I don't mind if they don't wear anything as long as they don't mind me staring at times.

Doing some research for my media a-level. Looking at whether kid's watch too many American tv shows that it is giving them an impoverish view of British culture. Your opinion will be great!
