The International Criminal Court charged Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashur with genocide against ethnic African tribes in Darfur and it has requested his arrest. Some 300,000 people have died in Darfur at his hands and 2 million have left their homes as refuges. Sudan;s Arab government has met with the Arab League . One League member called the indictment"a grave and inacceptable interference". The Court can only arrest Al-Basir if he leaves Sudan.
What do you think about this?
Please leave comments.
(For some time now Al-Basir has refused to let U.N. forces help these people.)

"We all pay a price for bad parenting"

Mr. O'Douherty claims that Ireland is full of "unfit parents' who abuse their children. He talks about vicious verbal abuse that he personally has witnessed time and time again in Dublin.
He demands that the Irish government take more of an active stance in taking these children away from their negligent parents and doing a better job of screening foster parents.What do you think?

Nova's News: On Hydrogen Cars/ On RNA for illnesses

Hydrogen Cars/ RNA Discovery to Aid Gene Research
July 2, 2008
KNME
Nova
This Nova was stupendous! Great for kids too!:):)
The science of acquiring enough hydrogen for cars was explained as well as how it works in the car between hydrogen and oxygen trying to connect!
Nova says that it takes a termendous amount of hydrogen currently to get neought o run a car.
This appears to be a problem.
There is good news about RNA. Nova showed a story about how DNA is important in the cell. Apparently, there is a little "monk" who carefully writes out a prescription for RNA, characteristics for the cell, such as color, etc.
The scientists have discovered however that if the RNA does not appear to suit the DNA a "cop" will appear who will throw the criminal element out! Scientists hope to use the RNIF information now to weed out undesirable characteristics, like the ones that generate Alzheimer's for example by using the  cop and the  RNIF  information in a good way!:):):)
It could  really help!:):)
What do you think?
And do you like Knme?(Public tv) Nova?

Taser Parties

Taser Parties

CBS
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Would you host a taser party? CBS showed some women having a great party with
music, drinks and taser in designer colors and shapes!I thought it might be a great
deterent for single women or women who go out with other women at night.
I would like to get your opinion on them
As to their safety, is it safe enough to get instructions on their use with a "pretend'
demonstration or do you think that people should take classes  with them.
I wonder if men would want to own one as well.
What do you think?
Please tell us if you are in favor of them, or you hate them and why.
