someone who is a positive influence on the life of another or others.
someone who survives through adversity and...
Where i live racism has existed for as long as i can remember. A lot of racism stems from the older generations seeing asian families getting benefits and coming into 'our country' and taking 'our...
i agree with you on this one Frank.
My brother is going through a difficult seperation to an un-married partner and children are involved. Because they aren't married his situation is all the more...
I had a long, quite in depth discussion with a friend today regarding marriage. She was a firm believer in the institution of marriage and what it stands for. She believed that if you are going to...
all i know of Basque is the seperatist/terrorist group 'Etta' from the Basque region. But, seeing as the region falls somewhere between france and spain (i believe) i can imagine the influence.
...apart from Japanese, what would you pick and why?
I'm a bit stuck because my heart says French (i know a little - tres miniscule) because i find it such a sexy language...especially with women...
If like me your stuck in a dead end job that bores you out of your tiny little skull :20: however, it pays the bills. I was speaking with my girl today (actually i think i was more wallowing in self...
an excellent thread...thought provoking.
I feel comments have been made so i have little to add.
All i'll say is, are there really any victors in war?

It was the Sun...maybe i should sue for plagurism (sp?)
I really wanted to name this thread "Got The B@stards"
Some of the arrests took place in the borough in which i work...a little too close to home!
I agree totally.
True.
However, speaking of descriptions...this may not always be the case, lets face it, anybody (ignoring colour, race etc) could be a terrorist. There is no definitive description of a terrorist....
Sometimes it's not always about want.
My mother had her first child by the age of 18 and she has been a good mother to all of her children...despite the father doing a runner and leaving her with...
I feel a great sense of guilt when i am suspicious of others...this has only come about since 7/7.
I have yet to ride the tube (not through fear, but through not needing to) but on buses i have...
What a load of waffle.
I'm having trouble replying because i'm not sure what point you were trying to make.
As far as mass media is concerned, of course it will be reported...we live in an age free...
I hope that there won't be a public uprising by the muslim community. However if the shot 'terrorists' prove to be innocent then i'm afraid that may be the outcome.
If however they were terrorists,...
I don't think the attacks are being blamed on pakistan.
It is believed (with some evidence i'm sure) that the 7/7 bombers visited before returning to england and commiting these horrific acts....
It is believed that the bombs used in yesterday's failed attacks were made at the same time as the bombs used two weeks ago. A bomb expert was saying on the radio that home made explosives have a...
Europe would be a dominating power...possibly even more so than America.
However, without the channel i believe that the united kingdom would have fell to Hitler's regime, and he dominating power...

Unfortunately peoples first thought of Ibiza is the larger lout culture that plagues parts of the island.
around the island there are beautiful beaches, crystal clear and...
my first thought was copycat attacks...3 tube trains and a bus...sounds to horribly familiar!
I think it has become apparent that these weren't thugs are anything like that. It's thought that, quite...
Well said...

I live in an area with a large asian (not in the oriental sense) population and have...
a more up to date version of the story.
it doesn't appear to be as serious as the events of 7/7...with only a handful of casualties and no fatalities. they also have spoken of 'dummy...
