Our news today is being dominated by a story of a man with only a history of speeding who drank and drove. He ran into another car and killed a grandpa who was driving and all 4 grandkids. Terrible...

I didn't know it at the time I posted this but this driver is the Grandson of one of Canada's BILLIONAIRES. He'd just returned from a trip somewhere and was still in celebratory more. This matter...
Was sad to hear of the bombing that happened in Pakistan. Another senseless tragedy that has brought pain and grief to many innocents. From what is being said here many of the victims were children....

Definitely and they sure seem to be going out of their way to target Christians (although they've been killing other Muslims for years too).
Just turning on the morning news here to the terrible tragedy that has happened in Brussels. Another God awful incident by the human plague of ISIS (although I'm not too sure the word 'human' should...

You could use the same argument for any religious based war, no doubt that many Crusaders only went for the rewards they could get, the same for the men of the Catholic Conquistador armies, most of...
Just posting on E4U with the TV on when the BREAKING NEWS came on that Abdeslam who was part of the attack on Paris has been caught!! AND caught alive. He was hidden in Belgium and from what is...

As the likes of this scumbag act in the name of a twisted version of Islam, then let his treatment reflect everything that will deny him his beliefs.
One of the Saudi students I rent to was over to see me yesterday, going to class, not going to class - back and forth, waiting for his car (cause he lent it to a friend) .... my sense was something...

All I can say is that your authorities will only get one chance to stamp this out, any pussyfooting around with the sentencing and they will have missed their opportunity. They must come down...
For quite a few years now severed feet have been washing up onto our beaches. As per the news article this has been going on since 2007 where 15 severed feet still inside shoes have been washing up....

@H - exactly! Usually the reaction is pretty swift and sharp. Sailors don't tend to let other countries 'capture' them nor do they usually break down and just float about into territorial...

No real details being given yet - just another totally senseless tragedy.
I honestly don't follow the mentality that would make somebody want to go to a school and shoot children or teachers....
This morning on the news the RCMP held a press conference. Apparently a few days ago somebody called them from one of the main shopping malls in Vancouver that 3 Arab looking men were in the mall...

IF the gov't enacted an anonymity clause like they do with Child Welfare I think lots more people would call in. This would require a whole Department of Investigators to go out and probably have to...

Really is very hard to know what IS the truth when you see it on the News. They're in it for the hype and what isn't actually happening can, I'm sure, be manufactured (and often is) to make a so-so...
