  1. When I read the subject line of this thread I thought it was you couldn't decide between your right hand or your left hand. But after reading your post I fully understand your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers

  3. I would be amazed if the French asked the USA or any other country for help to quell some riots. This is not the first time there have been race riots in France and it won't be the last. I don't think any multi race country is imune from race riots. They have happed in the USA and the Uk in the past and it doesn't take much to spark them off , especially in the deprived run down areas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers

  5. Way over the top punishment. catch them then put them into work groups to clean up each others grafitti. Say 20 miles worth the first offence then escalate it if they re-offend. make sure they do it at a weekend or when they have their leasuire time. Each time they don't turn up for cleaning up duty then lock them up for a week. They will get the message eventually. Comunity sentencing can work but it has to be enforced properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers

  7. BUMP US Sennate claims Galloway lied under oath http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4374534.stm Mr Galloway denies claims he profited from Iraqi oil deals George Galloway has rejected claims he lied under oath to the US Senate committee which accused him of receiving oil cash from Saddam Hussein. The Respect MP ridiculed the senators' claims during a hearing in May. Now they say fresh evidence links him and his estranged wife to Iraq's oil-for-food programme. Mr Galloway and his wife both deny the allegations. Mr Galloway said: "I am ready to fly to the US today... to face such a charge (perjury) because it is simply false." The US Senate committee claims to have found £85,000 in Iraqi oil money in the bank account of his estranged wife Dr Armineh Abu-Zayyad. The MP could face criminal charges if he is found to have given false testimony to the committee on 17 May. 'Smoking gun' During that combative performance he defended himself against accusations by senators that he received credit to buy Iraqi oil. They have been cavalier with any idea of process and justice so far, but I am still willing to go to the US and I am still willing to face any charge of perjury before the senate committee George Galloway One of the main allegations raised by the senate sub-committee was that Mr Galloway received oil allocations with the assistance of Fawaz Zureikat. Mr Zureikat, who was chairman of the Mariam Appeal set up by Mr Galloway to help a four-year-old Iraqi girl with leukaemia, has strongly denied making any arrangements linked to oil sales on behalf of the MP. The senate committee's new report accuses Mr Galloway of personally soliciting and being granted eight oil allocations totalling 23 million barrels from the Hussein government between 1999 and 2003. I have never solicited or received from Iraq or anyone else any proceeds of any oil deals, either for myself or for my former husband Dr Amineh Abu-Zayyad It also says that his estranged wife received £85,000 in connection with one allocation of oil. The committee alleges that at least £252,000 was funnelled to the Mariam Appeal through several allocations. Republican Senator Norm Coleman, chairman of the committee, said documents it had uncovered were "the smoking gun". 'Cavalier' attitude He said that Mr Galloway had "been anything but straight" with the committee and he had sent a report to the US Department of Justice and to British authorities. Mr Galloway, who has denied all suggestions he profited from told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The specific allegation against me is that I lied under oath in front of a senate committee. "In this case the remedy is clear - they must charge me with perjury and I am ready to fly to the US today, if necessary, to face such a charge because it is simply false." Perjury in the US carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a £140,500 fine. The Bethnal Green and Bow MP also launched an attack on the senate investigators. "They have been cavalier with any idea of process and justice so far, but I am still willing to go to the US and I am still willing to face any charge of perjury before the senate committee," he said. Libel damages In the committee's report Dr Abu-Zayyad is specifically quoted denying she received any money. Asked whether she or Mr Galloway had benefited from Iraq oil sales, she said in writing: "I have never solicited or received from Iraq or anyone else any proceeds of any oil deals, either for myself or for my former husband." BBC Washington correspondent Justin Webb said the latest developments meant the senators' confrontation with Mr Galloway had "reached a new and more serious stage". Mr Galloway has always denied funds from the sale of Iraqi oil were funnelled through the Mariam Appeal. In December, Mr Galloway won £150,000 in libel damages from the Daily Telegraph over its separate claims he had received money from Saddam's regime. The paper is currently awaiting the result of its appeal against that ruling.

  15. Have you asked any countries for any aid. How much foreign aid do you need and what type. Many countries suffer from catastrophes now and again and are able to deal with these events without the need for foreign aid other countries are not as fortunate and have to rely on foreign aid. Which type of country do you think the USA is. Would you rather rely on foreign aid or be self sufficient. Many of the people affected will need some sort of aid and help but most (ALL) of this will come form domestic charities and government agencies. For some people no amount of aid will bring back the people that they have lost.

  16. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1505763.html?menu=news.quirkies Pilot didn't know he'd lost half a wing A pilot flew his plane for two hours without realising he was missing half a wing. His passengers - two flight engineers on their way to repair a Boeing 767 - also failed to spot it had been ripped off, taking a fuel tank with it. Their Cessna 210's wing was split in two when it hit a tree on take-off from an airstrip near Shannon in Ireland, reports the Mirror. The pilot later said he heard a bang but thought he had just hit a small bird. He only realised what had happened when he spotted his back-up fuel tank gauge was on empty as he flew over the Channel on the way to Portugal. He put out a Mayday call and landed at Jersey airport. A spokesman there said last night: "We were amazed it managed to fly as long as it had. It was in a real state. "The pilot was the most shocked as he had not realised the extent of the damage while he was flying." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  17. First time i've heard of this. Does anyone know if it is true ? Just because the technology is available it doesn't mean that it is being implemented. No they couldn't. But they could say what cars are parked outside the mosque and who the registered owner of the car is. |Then again they could also just read the license plate to find out who the registered owner is. I don't know why you would go to the trouble of develping a system slim enough to install in a license plate when you could install a similar system just about anywhere on a car. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  18. I also think it's in poor taste. I would have thought it would have been better to remember these vicims with dignity rather than have some country bands and record companies having a good excuse to make cash off the sacrifice of others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  19. Possibly the most intelligent thing I have ever heard in SC
  20. It might also help if you fill out your profile properly as people will then know what country and where you jump. This mayhelp people to give you more detailed information as this issue is probably different from country to country and different DZ's.

  23. More likely they earned enough cash from their £25M bank job they did last year they no longer need the guns to control the supply of drugs because it's peanuts to knocking off banks. If they invest the cash wisely the may be able to support all future "Volunteers" without having to plant a bomb or enforce the supply and demand of drugs. Whats happened (politically) recently to prompt this action and how can we trust them. After all senior Sinn Fein figures Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Martin Ferris have now left the IRA army council. (reported Tues 26th July) even though all three have denied being members for years. TRUTH - A word that the top people of Sinn Fein and the IRA no nothing about. I will believe it when I see every gun , every bullet and every gram of semtex destroyed without the political backtracking and and dancing around the issue of decomissioning that we have seen in the past . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  24. Then we would have a tube train full on nervous poorly trained armed citizens waiting for someone to come on the tube with a rucksack What works in the USA does not necessary work in the UK. I'm off . I can't believe i've been suckered into another SC Why the UK should be armed debate "again" and Johnrich hasn't even joined this one yet.
