The life of the Palestinians has indeed become hell

Most of the Palestinians live below the poverty line, many on the threshold of hunger, some in an actual state of hunger. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children suffer from malnutrition. Every village has become a prison camp, completely surrounded by roadblocks. Traffic is impossible. Many Palestinians cannot reach their place of work, hospital, university or school or bring their produce to market. Israeli occupation forces prowl in the towns and villages, demolishing homes, arresting or killing Palestinian fighters, peace activists as well as women and children. The distant sound of an airplane engine is enough for the whole population to hold their breath!


Reaction:

It is impossible what we hear in this time about the Palestinians in their country. They have no wishes and no freedom to do their activities of the day in a safe living. What is wrong in this world, nobody can speak about it. You America where are. You are the man who has power in this world, and give right. Is this the justice about the situation in Palestine. My eyes can’t believe it. We are her safe whereas Israeli occupation forces prowl in the towns and villages, demolishing homes, arresting or killing Palestinian fighters. The Palestinian fighter have well a right to fight the Israeli occupation because it is their country.

Many people desire peace for world

Many Americans hate the killing, maiming, and destruction that war causes. Many people from countries around the world would like to see peaceful solutions to the world's problems. Yet, in every nation there are factions who benefit from militarism. Time and again, these factions manage to convince gullible citizens that war is honourable and necessary. The point? Very simple. People in this world make a big mistake when they make assumptions regarding people of other nations. They think we need to accept the fact that we are all just human beings, many of whom want to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world.



Reaction:

I think we also need to accept that there are a lot of fanatical people looking to blow up themselves and many innocent people in the name of their mistaken beliefs. The world citizen has a very nice thought. Most of us would love to be able to live and raise our families in a climate of love and peace. To bad for all of us that history tells us that there is always some person, group, or nation that thinks that everyone should follow their example. This entity will try all means to force the rest of us to accept their rule.

Should President Putin be prime minister?

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has announced he will be a candidate for the dominant United Russia party in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. Mr Putin has also said it was possible he might go on to become Russia's prime minister. He is due to step down as president early next year, at the end of his second term. He is not allowed by the constitution to run for a third consecutive term as president but could return at a later date. Do you agree with President Putin's attempt to stay at the centre of power in Russia? Will it help the country or do you think he should retire from politics at the end of his presidential term?

Reaction:

The Russian people alone can decide what is right for their country. If the majority of Russians want Mr Putin to remain at the centre of political power in their country, then the world should respect that choice. But the Russian people should maybe look at their democracy before complaining about another countries. And must know what he makes when he was a prime minister in his time.

How safe do your children feel at school?

Almost half of all children have had property stolen from them at school, a survey by a charity suggests. The Howard League for Penal Reform claims that almost all - 95% - of those surveyed have suffered some kind of victimisation.,Paul Fawcett, of Victim Support, said young people are "not getting support" from parents and teachers. As a consequence, they "feel they have to find their own solutions", many of which are violent.How can we better protect children? Are you a parent or a teacher? Have your children encountered such problems?

Reaction:

To safe the childeren at school is the responsibility of the school. But outside the school is the responsibility of the parents. Protecting childeren is one of the most problem by the parents. Because you have childeren who listen good to the parents and the other ones don’t listen to. So it is difficult to protect them. I think that can on one way. If the parent raised the childeren good from their babyhood and childhood. That’s the only solution. Otherwise when they get a child. Encounter the childeren many problems at school, and even with parents.

Should the world prepare for war with Iran?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has accused the US of being the world's "real threat" and defended his country's nuclear programme.
Should the world prepare for war with Iran? What do you think about it?

Reaction:

I think it is not the world which’s against Iran, it's the superpowers such as the USA that think they run the world. So it would be France, the UK and the USA preparing for war. But rather it’s one between the ISA and Iran. I think also that Iran has also a right for nuclear programme because there many countries in this world are allowed for this pragramme, in stead Iran. It is not a justice. So the USA must go think about this programme. And i think the USA in this time is not able to prepare war with Iran because USA must first solve the problems in Iraq.

Why don't more children eat school dinners?

Fewer children are choosing school dinners according to an Ofsted report on food in schools. The number of pupils eating school lunches has fallen in 19 of the 27 schools visited for the survey. The reasons include cost, a lack of choice, a lack of consultation with pupils over the content of menus and pupils' unfamiliarity with some of the food. Most of the pupils in the survey had a good understanding of healthy eating but this seemed to have little bearing on the food they chose to eat at lunch-times.
Why do you think there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners? Do your children take a packed lunch or do they enjoy food provided at school?

Reaction

It is not necessary of there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners. It is necessary that the childeren know what they eat. For a good health i think it is better that they take form their home an packed lunch, because they know than what they. I think also that the pupils have another reasons for don’t chosing school dinners. May be the cost, it is much cheaper to do a packed lunch.

Do children spend too much time watching TV?

A survey of primary school-age children has found that kids spend more of their free time sitting in front of the TV than with their parents. Children would rather watch TV and DVD's, play computer games or play with friends, than read a book or spend time with their families. But with parents working and taking care of domestic chores there isn't always time to arrange family activities.

Reaction: Where Iare Your Responsibility? Parents.....

This is the responsibility of the parents. The parent must wake up, and then the children.
A child is just following his parent behaviour. so it is important that there will be explained with parent how they must handle their children by watching TV. Moreover it not good for the child he spends his time in front of the TV, because he will be ill. More seeing to the screen are not good for his eyes. En the parent must not forget that time is gold.

Points up for speeding liars?

From today, if you're caught by a speed camera and don't say who was behind the wheel you could end up with six points on your licence rather than three. It's to stop people trying to get out of a penalty by claiming they can't remember who was driving. The government says if you've got a good reason for not naming the driver you'll still have a defence, like if your car's been stolen. The clamp down on bad driving also includes a higher maximum fine for careless driving, up from £2,500 to £5,000.
Do you reckon the penalty point increases are fair? Do there need to be fewer speed cameras and more traffic police?

Reaction: Better no speed

If you want live in this life, you must take car of your speeding because it is very dangerous if you did not drive according the law of the government. What I understand form the government is that it is important to make an end to the speeding liars. I think the government is well right. Because the only thing the driver must do is just respect the law of the traffic. There will be better more speed cameras and more traffic police. And about the speed cameras, it is good idea that people get a penalty by claiming. They must learn from them faults.

Pollution and the Agreement

Pollution can be local or widespread; substances dumped into a river will often end up in the sea. Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution. China, United States, Russia, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions; however, Canada is the number two country. Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. To protect the environment from the adverse effects of pollution, many nations worldwide have enacted legislation to regulate various types of pollution as well as to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution. To reduce the effects of the pollution is the United Nation Frame Work Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), (an international treaty on global warming). Countries which ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases. A total of 141 countries have ratified the agreement. Notable exceptions include the United states and Australia, who have signed but not ratified the agreement. The stated reason for the United States not ratifying is the exemption of large emitters of greenhouse gases who are also developing countries, like China and India.

Reaction: Think about The future of The human

I am against the United States and Australia, because the must be one of the first countries that ratify the agreement. The effects of the air pollution are very dangerous in our live. The biggest pollution problem is global warming. This happens when greenhouse gases, such as CO2 are released into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the planet to warm up. I live now and there not very changing in the atmosphere, but what about the next generations, our children. The United States thinks not about the future of our children. The United States and the other developing countries think just of further developing. Without thinking about the effects that bring us to the disappearing. So there will be no live in this earth.

Man, 72, refused alcohol over age

Supermarket staff refused to sell alcohol to a white-haired 72-year-old man, because he would not confirm he was over 21. The old man asked to see the manager who put the wine back on the shelf. En he had refused to confirm he was over 21 as it was a "stupid question." he expected the store manager to resolve the situation but he was disappointed.
He picks up the wine and, in the manner of a child taking home his ball, says 'Well, we won't serve you’. The pensioner abandoned his shopping on the conveyor belt and left the store - but not before demanding a complaints form and phone number for Morrisons' headquarters. It is bureaucracy gone mad. If the check-out lady, who was about 40, had asked me with a twinkle in her eye perhaps I would not have been so tetchy. But she asked me the question with a perfectly straight face and I said I wouldn't dignify the question with an answer. And if the manager had explained that all the staff had to ask everyone because they had previously been fined, but said I was clearly over 21, it would have been fine - but he showed no sense of humour.

Reaction: First LOOK AT HIS FACE

A man, who is 72 years old, could not to buy alcohol because he doesn’t confirm he was over 21. I think that this man is right because, just his white hair tells that he is over 21 years. So the check-out lady is wrong about this man. She must ask about his age. Unfortunately the old man has been gone to home without alcohol.

How do you know you are healthy?

Weight is a nation obsession. On the one hand we are in the grip of an obesity epidemic and experts are warning us against getting fat.
Indeed a naturally slim girl who is blessed with a metabolism that stops her getting fat can be healthy and a size zero - UK size 4.
But others starve themselves to reach a goal weight when instead they would be far better off carrying a few excess pounds.
Weight is not a reliable indicator.
Doctors use a measurement called body mass index or BMI - a calculation of kilograms/centimetres squared - to judge a person's size against weight.
As a rule of thumb, a BMI between 18 and 25 is healthy.
But someone who is very fit and muscley could have a BMI greater than 25 which would suggest, incorrectly, that they were obese.
Conversely, someone who has a petite frame might fall below 18 but still be healthy.
And BMI is a useless indicator in people under 16. Instead, weight for height ratio should be used to factor in the young person's age and potential for growth.
There are a host of signs and measures that can indicate if we are doing enough.
Some signs of these measures are as following:
- It was sometimes possible to tell if someone was malnourished just by looking at them, even if they were a 'normal' size and weight.
- Loss in skin colour, dull and dry hair, redness or swelling of mouth or lips, problems with gums or eyes, dryness of skin and brittle/ridged nails can indicate malnourishment."
- Lab tests to get a full picture of a person's nutritional status.
A general healthy lifestyle is absolutely crucial. If you do exercise, being overweight is far less of a problem.

As a head question what can you advise men how he takes care of his health?

Reaction: Get not fat

Many people get fat in this last time, because they take no care of themselves about what they eat and the times of the meals. So men get quickly fat without he feels it. The problem should be a malnourishment or other problems as just eating and sleeping without working. This sort of people must be moved otherwise they will be fattest.
There is another solution, diet, but this is sometimes not good. I can just advise to visit the doctor, he will give an advice how men will be good healthy

Bus firm defends scrapping route:

A bus company is defending its decision to scrap a bus route in the Lincolnshire wolds.
A local petition has been started to try to save the number 41 bus service in Louth.

Stagecoach director David Skepper said changes to concessionary fares meant the firm could not afford to run it. And his firm was the biggest bus operator in the county, but some routes were not feasible to run despite subsidies from the government. He called also for an increase in the subsidy rate to make sure the routes remained open.

Tricia Powell of Louth said: "I use it five times a week. I use it to get to the bank, do my shopping, to get to the library and GP services or the Louth hospital as well as other social activities such as concerts. "I would be completely isolated and I would get very depressed because there would be no life outside my house."
She said also the service was a lifeline for her and other residents in the town.

The negotiations were continuing, and it was regrettable that Stagecoach had decided to cancel the route.

Reaction: Regrettable, think another solution Mrs. Powell

It is indeed regrettable that Mr. Skepper had decided to cancel the route. Mr. Skepper need an increase in the subsidy rate from the government, But the government did not help hem for to make the route remained open, so it is the responsibility of the government. But on the flip side for Mrs. Powell was not good news that the route will be canceled. So she will have been mobility problems. What I can say to Mrs. Powell and the residents in the town try find another solution to live there.
