  1. Amy was the only one who could stop taking drugs, nobody else could do it for her, if she wanted to stop then she would have done.

    Kelly Osborune talks about this in her book, she also said the same thing to Lindsay Lohan, which Lindasy didn't like, also Russell Brand has said the same thing about his addiction problems.

  2. is a death sentence, really a punishment though ?

    the issue is that sentiments & views held by people like Anders Behring Breivik (alleged shooter) are on the increase.

    some of the stories, images & videos are truly horrific, i know people shy away from them especially like the video of the shoreline from a boat, but people should not shy away from them, because it's really whats happening.

    RIP to all the victims.

  3. My sentiments exactly. She was on a downward spiral for a long time and had people around who loved her and wanted to help her sort her life out, but she didn't manage it. "Live fast and die young".

    Whereas almost a hundred totally innocent people have been killed in Norway for absolutely no reason. It shocks me that one person can hate complete strangers that much.

    i have to agree

  4. apparently the person they have arrested is white, far right ?

    the other day it came out that Norway will accept a Palestinian ambassador, people opposed to a recognized Palestinian state ?

    Norway also support the Libyan intervention, Lybia ?

    or as you say the cartoons, however they are from Denmark not Norway, Al-Qaeda ?

  5. Yes, we should all take a leaf out the private sector's books.

    I mean after all, the bankers did so much for our country didn't they? You never see them with high pay or high pensions at a time of austerity...

    yes it was the bankers fault, i for one am not denying it, what i was against & still am is the bailing out of the banks by the tax payer, thats where the debt has come from, i do concede that i still think that the public sector needs to be cut back & brought more into line with the private sector.

    it lists here how the bail out cost £850b by now it's closer to one trillion pounds > http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/163850bn-official-cost-of-the-bank-bailout-1833830.html

    as much as i despise the legal system in the USA the bankers responsible would have been jailed, the guy who was involved in the ENRON scandal (CFO, Andrew Fastow) got six years at ADX Florence aka United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility !

  6. Yep, the paper he claims to hate, yet has a subscription to? go figure.

    it's not the Daily Mail i subscribe to, i'm not even allowed to post on their comments due to a ban :giggle: my dad has a subscription to the paper version of the Times so i also get access to the website.

    what i am saying is that the teachers shouldn't have gone on strike & if the girl was in school like she should have been she wouldn't have died, there was teacher on the news a few days before they went on strike & she was saying that she didn't want to strike because she was going to loose a days pay, well thats HER choice, but what about the parents of all the children who also had to loose a days pay ?

    i was working at Coventry Uni a few years ago & the lecturers were on strike because they wanted more money & i was talking to the main guy who runs the uni & he was saying that the amount they were striking over was less than they were loosing for having the days off !

    i do get that this is just the start, but why should private sector workers bare the brunt of the cuts ? i pay into a pension my company don't put anything into it & really it's not worth the paper it's written on, they should start living in the real world, many private sector workers are having to work longer & their pensions have been reduced.

    the teachers & other public sector workers seem to think that they are taking all the hits, but the private sector have been taking the hits for years, under Labour in many of their key constituencies huge investment has been made & thousands of jobs have been 'made' in the public sector, yes we need there people to run the system, but why do we need twice as many people running things now than when Labour won their first election.

    all this stems back to where the money went, ie to bail out of the banks, well if i were in charge at the time i wouldn't have bailed them out, i would have let them fail, because the tax payer is NOT responsible for a private companies debt.

    basically the public sector workers need to look at themselves & see how easy they have it, job for life, paid sick pay, nice pension, higher wages, more days off etc etc.

    my mom is a dinner lady & seems to always be on holiday.

  7. the girl should have been at school, it's as simply as that, all the teachers are doing by going on strike is effecting children's education & making life worse for parents which some of didn't know until the day before that they themselves would have to take a day off to look after their children that should have been at school.

    what should have been arranged is that every child effected by the strike should have traveled by coach to the union HQ & sat down in front of it, the leaders of the unions are no different to the fat cat bankers, in fact they are worse because at least the bankers are honest (sort of) about what they do, all the union bosses do is try & justify their huge salaries & pensions, the Labour party brought in "where there's blame there's a claim" well the teachers who should have been teaching the girl & the union boss representing them should be tried, convicted & jailed for involuntary manslaughter.

    if i were in charge all public pensions would be stopped & they would have to pay into a private pension like the rest of us in the private sector where most employers don't even contribute into a workers pension scheme, workers in the public sector have had it to good for to long.

  8. i don't see the need to learn a foreign language because English is the language of business & the point of learning French & Spanish from a young age is quite frankly a silly idea, surly the language to teach is Chinese.

    i think that if there are no jobs available then collage is the best idea as you can learn new skills, as for the the best things to study well i would say things that you are interested in because if you don't really like a certain job or subject you are unlikely to be enthusiastic about it thus not do very well at it or in exams on the subject, the difficulty is the same old thing "what do you want to do when you grow up" & the answer to this is "i don't know" because nobody really knows.

    all you can do is keep trying.

    on the subject of volunteering, well it depends on what you are volunteering for, if it's doing something that somebody else did & got paid for it then you shouldn't be doing it, as for Cameron's Big Society well he can sod off because i work full time & therefore don't get enough time off to go & work for free & even if i didn't have a job forcing unemployed people to take part in the Big Society is against the law, because there is a minimum wage & they cannot force you to work for nothing.

  9. Well, if you're abroad it's a must otherwise the costs will be huge.

    Then - it could just be to avoid more charges. Maybe for sake of battery power. But most of the time you might as well have it on as it makes phones so much more useful.

    all it does it stop programs running in the background when you have finished using them, as soon as you press on the internet icon it starts up again, it also saves on RAM, i have a white list on mine so that certain programs don't get shut down by the app killer
