Ebi, first of all my apologies for not replying before, this was nothing to do with your counter argument but that I have been extremely busy this last couple of weeks and have not visited the site...
I watched this programme last night and and at the end felt so sad.
I don't think we realise just what goes in to making our news. How these 'press men' really risk their own lives to bring us the...

Well talking purely about the reporting done in conflict zones, you'd have to be very brave to go into an area to film, in a Press car, with no weapons, just your Press badge and jacket logo, so I...
The Pinochet case was the ignition. On 19 January, the George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley compared the status of George W Bush with that of Pinochet. “Outside there is no...
So the latest figures from America show that it is now officially out of recession and that has to be good news. That only leaves Canada & Italy to report the same and once again Britain will be the...

Pretty much correct Ebi, we are now almost entirely reliant on 'non' jobs or the overblown public sector. There is very little real manufacturing left in the UK, other countries such as Germany still...

The whole ramadan thing just leaves me cold I'm afraid as I believe that everyone has a right to practice whatever they believe, but not to have it influence others. If you choose to deny yourself...

I agree with both of you about over reaction.
Somehow in this case if Sadat hadn't been assassinated it wouldn't have been so bad :? I do think it must be hurtful to his daughter to have him...
