Do the Independent and Guardian cover only Saturday and Sunday’s news or do they give a full recap of the weeks main news. i.e new health and science discoveries.
I do buy the newspaper but have alway’s followed odd patterns of which paper I buy and what day’s I buy it on, so I’m not sure of this.
I recommend "The Week" published in the UK. Intelligent and informative on news world wide.
any manager news, big transfer storys or otherwise?
QQ – anything exciting happen here in the last week? or pretty dull up until today with the new season starting
glad it’s back again 
cheers
@James, what Milners gone, but he played for Villa today or has this just happened, confused.
@Viv yeah was on hols for a week in Portugal , football was forbidden lol, can’t wait till monday now
cheers Viv,
whoa seen what you mean Dan, staying out of it personally seems all a bit heated, but now we got the premiership up and running sure there’ll be less drama
Oh right so he’s likely gone ok, cheers for clearing that up, I spose it’s frustrating to lose your big players but with all citys midfielders and strikers I can’t see how it’s a good move, he’d have a real fight for 1st team footie there
From what I read , it seems like he dint like the owners negotiating to sell Milner to City without Mr.O’Neill’s knowledge .. And the deal actually did happen and Mr.O’Neill lost his star player .. And they dint even buy many good high – prof players which might have put Mr.O’Neill in a tough spot .. He’d better leave .. But Villa played well yesterday ..
OQ : Nothing exciting .. Everyone bored to death , sooooooooooooooooo glad the season has started FINALLY .. 
I knoiw people who read it and others who say that its bigoted and puts across the news in a sensationalist way. I’m inclinded to believe the latter. I mean yes there are benafit scroungers/illegal immegrants ect but it doesnt present all the facts about the storys it puts forward and it sexes them up… also the fact is we have one of the lowest immagrant counts in europe. Less than 2% of our country are immagrants and thats not proportional in thier newspaper.
What are your views?
Well, let’s talk about the good stuff first. It does carry some good, interesting articles, and some writers I like and respect either write for the paper or have done so in the past.
However, the good stuff is drowned out by the sensationalist, exaggerated, or just plainly made up bigoted twaddle that dominates the news and opinion pages. Stuff that would be dismissed as nonsense if it was in the Daily Star, but gets taken seriously by the unthinking, mainly Southern English, meedle-clarse, Hard Right Tory rabble that read the Mail and carry far too much political influence in this country.
The Mail employs a large number of columnists who are either bigoted idiots, or who are paid to write like bigoted idiots. Richard Littlejohn and Jan Moir are at the tip of this nasty iceberg.
You only have to read the Press Complaints Commission website to get an idea of the amount of sheer nonsense the Mail prints.
The Mail is sneering, dismissive and hateful of you if you fall anywhere outside its Southern English Tory middle aged middle class bubble. This is evidenced by the number of negative and often blatantly provocative articles they print about left wing politics, Northern England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, alternative lifestyles, the poor and working class, gays and lesbians, the young, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, foreigners and other assorted folk.
The Mail often indulges conspiracy theories, quack medicine, and paranormal beliefs. Doctors often write to the PCC to complain about the blatant b0llocks that the Mail prints about medical issues, as with the autism/MMR hoo-ha. The Mail jumps onto every moral bandwagon that passes by, regardless of the facts.
The Mail quite often prints articles that are blatantly racist, sexist or homophobic. The paper was one of the keenest supporters of Section 28. The paper’s hounding of the innocent Colin Stagg, a victim of shameful police corruption, was one of the more unpleasant aspects of the aftermath of Rachel Nickel’s murder. The paper was going to print a smear story about Stephen Lawrence until the paper’s editor, Paul Dacre, realised Lawrence’s father had once worked for him. The Mail has been known to send reporters out to interview people affected by tragedy and crime, only to call the reporters back when it is realised the victims are poor or black. Anyone who does not have impeccable white middle-class credentials is usually ignored or mercilessly smeared by the Mail, even if they are the victims in the story.
And that’s just the stuff they are legally able to get away with. Part of the horror is knowing they would print stuff that was 10 times nastier if they could get away with it, and their politically influential readership would lap it up.
Paul Dacre openly admits that the Mail was once a racist newspaper. Some would question his use of the past tense but it is still a telling admission.
CNN is a joke. They show storys about Oprah’s visit to a school, but they only showed the Gaza Flotilla once, and now they aren’t showing it again. I guess its because of Israel’s strong grasp on American media and politics.
This is why so many of Americas public are so ill informed by the events happening in Palestine. They should watch Al Jazeera who do broadcast the truth that’s unless the American government have not blocked it .
i need to do 10 current event papers………………and i havent foudn any good news in kansas here some help plz
The Buffalo teacher with the porn pics on her cell phone and the kid who saw them and passed them around…I’m sure that would make for an interesting debate at school! :~)

I can’t for the life of me find any web sites with news or storys about people getting attacked by larg pet snakes, please link any info you can. thanks
Large pythons were the subject of many a news story last year due to the fact that there were at least two deaths directly attributable to them. Tragically, the deaths would not have happened had the owners of these snakes kept them safely, and responsibly, contained. The following article, by David Chiszar, Hobart M. Smith, Albert Petkus and Joseph Dougherty, was recently published in the Bulletin of the Chicago Herpetological Society, and represents the first clear, and accurate, account of the death that occurred July 1993:
A Fatal Attack on a Teenage Boy by a Captive Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) in Colorado
"The recent Colorado case of a human death caused by a Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus; 20 July 1993) resulted in considerable sensational media coverage as well as widely varying estimates of the snake’s length and weight. In the interest of scientific accuracy, we sought and received the cooperation of the Commerce City Police Department in acquiring detailed information regarding both the victim and the snake so that correct data could be placed on record.
"The victim was a 15-year-old male, 152 cm [5'] tall, weighing 43 kg [95lb]. While in bed, naked except for briefs, he was bitten on the right instep, with maxillary and palatine-pterygoid tooth marks clearly visible on the dorsal surface of the foot and dentary tooth marks clearly visible on the plantar surface. Numerous tooth impressions were present on the fingers of both hands, but only on their palmar surfaces, indicating that the hands had tried to pry open the snake’s jaws from around the instep. The fingers and the foot bled profusely. Autopsy photographs revealed scleral ecchymotic hemorrhage, and venous congestion in the cerebrum (petechial and ecchymotic hemorrhage both present), all being signs of agonal breathing consistent with a diagnosis of suffocation as a cause of death. No attempt was made during autopsy to distinguish between suffocation and circulatory arrest (Hardy, 1993) as causes of death; however, in subsequent correspondence the pathologist hypothesized that circulatory arrest would more likely be the cause of death of smaller prey, whereas suffocation would be more likely with larger victims. Although blood was present on the victim’s face, hands arms and legs, there was no blood present on the neck or on the middle of the torso, suggesting that the snake’s coils had been wrapped around this area. Bruising of the victim’s skin, consistent with this hypothesis, was visible in the photographs. There was no evidence that the snake had attempted to swallow any part of the victim.
"The snake was 336 cm [11'2"] total length, and weighed 24 kg [53lb]. Incidentally, almost all estimates of the snake’s weight presented by the media were above 27 kg and ranged as high as 54 kg. The only accurate weight had been recorded by Officer Steven Paxton soon after the fatality, but few news writers quoted him, preferring to use the larger, exaggerated numbers. Circumference at the thickest part of the body was 38cm [15"]. The snake had not been fed for 10 days prior to taking the measurements reported here (19 September 1993) and the most recent meal had already been digested and passed. Thus, the digestive system was probably empty. We did not probe the snake’s cloaca, but the short tail and diminutive pelvic spurs strongly suggest that it is a female. This animal had been raised since hatching by a close relative of the victim, and at the time of the attack the snake was not confined to a cage, but had freedom to move about the house. The victim was long familiar with the snake.
"…This raises the question of why the snake killed so large a victim. Although any answer that we can put forward would be conjectural, it is known that pythons and certain other constrictors will sometimes attack prey that cannot be ingested (Branch and Hacke, 1980; Fritts et al., 1990), whether through misinterpretation of size or through presence on the victim of chemical or other cues that are associated with normal prey.
"Perhaps the most significant point to emerge from this Colorado case is the fact that a 24kg python, modest in size by comparison with full grown specimens of this and several other species, was able to kill a healthy 43kg adolescent human. This will come as no surprise to experienced herpetologists, but it might be startling to people who have grown unjustifiably complacent with their now mature pythons that have been raised since hatching."
Through years of meeting people–especially teenage boys and young male adults–who want or have just bought Burmese and reticulated pythons, I have found that they really do not understand just how big their snakes will get, and even if they do, being "cool" tends to override common sense. Many men (and woefully ill-educated pet store owners and employees) recommend Burmese as "good starter snakes" instead of Ball pythons (P. regius) because of their docility and hearty appetite (failing to recognize that the initial nervousness and reticence to feed are traits common in wild-caught Ball pythons, not in captive bred ones).
I recently met two people who have a deep-seated fear of snakes, both due to encounters with large, loose pythons. The first is a woman whose infant niece was killed by the parent’s python which had been kept in an insecure enclosure. The second is a young man who, while sleeping at a friend’s house, was awakened by the friend’s Burmese python which was in the process of wrapping itself around the young man. When he had gone to bed, the snake was on top of the refrigerator, its owner not wanting to "disturb" it by getting it down and putting it safely away.
What must be remembered is that, no matter how tame and friendly the snake, it is and always will be a wild animal, and as such, subject to what appears to the owner to be unpredictable behavior. No matter how many years one has had a snake, no matter how familiar the snake is with its owner-family, hunger, fear, unease and other factors can trigger instinctual behaviors. Good examples of this were published in the February 1994 issue of Reptiles (Pssst…wanna see my pet snake?) and in the general press in 1996 (NY Teen Killed by Pet Burmese).
Another misconception about giant pythons (and giant iguanid and varanid lizards) is that when they get "too" big, they can just be given to zoos and wild animal parks. NOT! Zoos and wild animal parks have all the giant reptiles that they can handle. Zoos should not, even if they could afford to spare the resources, become a repository of cast-off pets.
The giant pythons are beautiful, awesome animals. There is something breathtaking about seeing a snake with a girth the size of a telephone pole, coiled up contentedly in its basking area. But there are some animals that are not suitable as common pets for some people due to the amount of space and other resources that must be committed to that animal for its entire life, one that may span two or three decades.
I usually am totally against people posting news storys but people will not leave this alone and keep asking so here is the answer is to is Mcmahon dead.
Mr. McMahon Backstage At SmackDown/ECW,
Date Added: June 13, 2007
Story By: Andy Steven
Sources: PWInsider & 1Wrestling
Although Mr. McMahon is "presumed dead" in WWE storylines, he was very much alive and kicking backstage at last night’s WWE SmackDown/ECW tapings. Sources say that Vince McMahon went about business as usual. The Chairman is said to be very happy with the reaction and “buzz” that the Mr. McMahon storyline is creating.
SO GROW UP AND GET OVER IT.. We’ve told you 1000 times and you still keep asking.
EXACTLY!
the congress has done nothing to improve the lives of it’s citizens in the past 20 years ….NOTHING !!! There approval rating is lower than the presidents ..
They fight , bicker and sling mud , but still do nothing ..That is , except draw a large paycheck and ride the perks .
And the media , well they feed us B.S. storys ..Like Paris Hilton or Brittney Spears . Or they give you half truths about what is real news .
I’m not a Bush lover by no means , why bash Bush , when congress is the more evil of the two governing bodys .
Presidents will never be able to have as negative of an impact on the US as Congress because of term limits.
The more entrenched they get in Congress the more dangerous they become.
Voters would have to vote out Senators and Representatives who have the power to bring in millions of dollars to their districts and states and replace them with nearly powerless drones who would be on their way out just as they attain the power of their replacements.
You are dreaming if you think that American voters will put the interests of the country ahead of their districts and/or states.
The evil you speak of is the fault of the voters. The politicians are just doing what they have to do to keep their jobs.
how do you feel about all these news storys on tv about parents killing or abuseing there kids. It makes me sick my kids are a gift from god i would risk my own life before i let any thing happen to them. these people deserve to endure the worst punshment out there. or be made sterile so they cant porduce more kids.
I agree with you. People who abuse children are disgusting cowards. Some people do not deserve to have children. I hate child abusers.
