For those saying, wrongly, that Flemish and Dutch are the same, come over here in West-Flanders. Ours is a language on it's own. But, apparently, somebody decided people should speak Common Dutch in Flanders, making our language sound like a patois. So, if you state that flemish an dutch are one, why do they subtitle us on tv and not one from Antwerp or Limburg ? Talk about being hypocrits...

My father died last week and I had a horrible day yesterday. When I went to bed I had a very vivid drem where my dad was in a grave and was trying to scare me with a big striped spider. But at the end of the dream when the spider finally landed on me it turned into a beautiful butterfly. What is my mind trying to tell me?

I am 21, living in Exeter (Devon), having been born in rural Dorset. Safe to say that, like many others, I am deeply upset by the way the UK is sliding- despite my young age I feel I am able to make such observations as they are bolstered by the views of the older generations!

I have noticed that a good chunk of the general popluation (myself included) have an inherent apathy when it comes to politics and voting, except when it comes to moaning about whoever is in charge at the time. I think this apathy is to blame for many of our troubles as a nation and a sense of national pride should be re-installed to cure it; we need to see the rebirth of British industry (and re-nationalisation) and the traditional education system reinstored. We have become soft and this needs to change, but there is no catalyst in place for this with our current politcal system.

Do you think we'd accept a modern, peace-time Winston Churchill (who, of course, came to power legitimately) to do this?

and do you know how this story found its way into the koran? it was copied from the hindu gita and zorastrian avisan vendidad.

and did you know that hinduism and zorastrianism predates islam by centuries?
so what is so authentic about the koran when most of its ideas have been plagarised from other sources ?
