‘‘What he learnt (LEARNED)in prison enabled him to realize that he had committed the murders due to the ignorance, poverty and discrimination surrounding him,’’ Otani said. That's it, blame it on somebody else. It's not my fault I pulled the trigger so many times, it was society. ‘‘He thought about…

Our 2 grandchildren (ages 1 and 5) live with us. We moved into a 7th floor apartment recently. The first thing we did before the children even went into the apartment was to buy locks for the doors and windows. Then we nailed board across the windows (like guard rails)…

Noborito - It's not the teacher's apathy when you're in a class of 40 students and only 10 or so even want to be there. It's student apathy. I always do my best, and am well-prepared for each lesson. Contrary to what you seem to believe, I do actually care…

"Murray tried to revive him by compressing his chest with one hand while supporting Jackson’s back with the other." WTF, a doctor doesn't know how to do CPR?! You're supposed to lay the person flat and compress his chest with the "heels" of your two hands on the breast bone,…

Iran has sworn to wipe Israel off the face of the map (to many it is their religious duty). They (Jews and Muslims) have been bitter enemies since the time of Abraham. Once Iran has nuclear weapons (just a matter of time), all it will take is a few people…
