For instance the parents of the guys behind the columbine massacre and others? Meet up as in talk about their kids and similarity? I honestly believe that they might find something rewarding from this and may learn to heal thier wounds and know the reason why. They probably might know the cause and symptoms of it.. So what do you think?

You know, to find out what present they would most appreciate / figure out what size clothes they wear / check for what time they may be free for a surprise birthday party / look out for any weapons of mass destruction?

Yes, we all make the odd typo and you can't blame children as we all had to learn at some point. I'm a primary school teacher and part of my job is to teach children basic spelling. It really bothers me when I see basic spelling and grammatical errors coming from adults, who went to school, in professional positions.

Some common errors:

1. a lot is TWO words (you don't say alittle do you?)
2. definIte not definAte
3. there, their and they're
4. lose and loose.

There are so many and I just worry about the literacy of society nowadays. What has gone wrong? This is England, where our first language is english.

I pray I haven't made any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors as I will get a grilling!

Please people, use spell check, use an online dictionary or buy a dictionary, especially when writing letters or doing your CV.

Does this annoy you are am I just being difficult?

I can understand why people shorten words when texting to save on money.

America spent a bunch of money on a pilotless drone, which they claim has assisted them in the arrest of a wanted sex-offender.

The offender, an illegal Mexican who had sex with his 15 year-old girlfriend.

If this guy was Muslim how many whimps in America would'nt say a word?

Americans, not only are you a bunch of whimps, you're a bunch of whimps that like to waste money arresting people for doing things that's none of your business. If this guy belonged to a religion where it was acceptable, you Americans would'nt say a thing.

HYPOCRITES, go find some balls! And when that drone collides with a passenger plane I'm gonna laugh my **** off.

He is incarcerated right now, and when he was arrested the police beat him up pretty badly. They are saying that he assaulted them, but he did not. While beating him they told him he was going to die. Will you please pray for my friend Joe, that he may be forgiving, find peace in his heart and have acceptence during this difficult time.

I feel like I hate interracial relationships (black and white people only) but yet I'm in love with/dating a white guy.

Everytime I see an interracial couple on tv, I just immediately think that they would look better with someone of their own race. I even roll my eyes and look up away. When I see them in public, I admire them.

I don't know why I feel that way since I'm mainly attracted to white men.

So, what is wrong with me?

Personally, I think it is neglectful and selfish on the part of the parents. I mean, they will be forever spelling out their names to other people because they are incomprehensaible compared to your usual Benjamin or Natalie etc. All for the sake of their parents trying to be trendy.

There are plenty of nice names out there that pretty much everyone would know how to spell straight off the cuff. Such as ones from Biblical times etc. Also, most of these names can be shortened down whereas your stupid retarded names can't.

So, why do parents try and make their childrens lives difficult with retarded names?
