I've been following this case since it began and it is just so sad.

Here read this article first ; Trayvon .

Read it?

Well theres a lot more than what they have there, but as long as you get the gist. It's tragic that someone, who's only a year younger then me can be killed so easily.

I personally believe it has alot to do with racial profiling or racism in general, but I'm not in the man's mind who shot him, so I don't know. But I would think that someone of Hispanic descent would understand what racial profiling is and wouldn't have done what he did to Trayvon, because for years the Black and Hispanic communities have been equally discriminated against.

It's really a sad situation.

Have you guys heard about this? I would imagine the Americans have.

It's particularly hard on quite a lot of black people, because of history. I'm half black, but I still sympathize and empathize, not to mention he looks similar to my brother who's the second oldest.


(R.I.P :frown: Trayvon)

What do you guys think about this?

How does one go about getting justice when their bullied child commits suicide?

It just seems unfair and a little like a cash grab to sue education departments to somehow validate that something is wrong, shouldn't we have bullycide laws?

The family in the story below are devestated at the loss of their son and brother who was bullied at 2 schools that were 700km's apart, and he commit suicide because of the bullying.

Should this not come under laws of involuntary manslaughter?

Should we start holding the bullies to task?

Should we start prosecution those in the position of responsibility who stand by and valid the bullying by not acting?

I say sue the bastards until they start getting the message

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you had seen this story about a teacher in the U.S who got dismissed for having a past history in doing gay porn.

Personally I think he was unfairly dismissed as his 'past work' was indeed in the past and he was making a good career for himself as a teacher. I am really pleased that he can return back to the classroom as I think as long as he is good at his job why should anyone batter an eyelid? I know some people may disapprove of his past but are we as a society too judgemental as everyone can have a history. Personally I support this gentleman in all of his endeavours and hope he has a fulfilling career in the classroom. mile:

So what do you guys think?

Marshlander and I have been thrilled to read this speech pronounced today in the United Nations in Geneva. This may look long, but it really is an important speech. Do read it and consider it alongside Hillary Clinton's recent contribution to the debate.

The British government has banned an exhibition of photographs showing atrocities committed against Serbs in the civil war in the former Yugoslavia. Living Marxism went to Serbia to get the full story and some of the pictures from the forbidden exhibition. They are published in this special section.

The Belgrade-based exhibition was banned by the Department of Trade and Industry on 13 January 1993, under sanctions imposed on Serbia by the United Nations. Croatian and Muslim groups from the former Yugoslavia have been allowed to stage their own exhibitions of atrocity photographs in Britain without hindrance.

i dont like Clinton or democrats much because he had NATO bomb Serbia

the news lines have said for years "Serbs slaughtered 8000 men and boys"

all sides maybe did atrocities

but why did America feel they had the right to bomb Serb civilians?

what really happened?its been 10 or 20 years

few seem to know who are under 30

i voted for clinton in 1992 but hes such a creep

hello,
I would recommend anyone interested in Henry VIII reign and tudor stuff watch this film... It is based upon true facts of how henry tried to get with both sisters yet he spared one her life and took her brother and Anne Boeyln.. It is quite a moving story and very well done despite none of the actors or actresses being bloody english which disappointed me a little as i feel history should be played by those who are the nationality of the country which is in question... It also explains the boeylns family and how they met Henry VIII leading right up to the point of getting their executions.. Upon googling this i learnt that according to history their brother was actually bi sexual but was killed for treason....

Huh, this seems like an interesting movie, though I'm hoping this doesn't spark someone to reinact it.

It is a normal Sunday here in China, kinda cloudy and chilly today. I usually seldom write blogs or something like that. But last night I read an very interesting and romantic love story, and recently I watched some gay romance movies So I wanna write something about me and the past here, where I can be who I really am, cuz my real- life circle of friends wont read this..

To begin with, I’d like to mention how I discover I am attracted to males. When I was a little kid, I remember I had a very good relationship with other neighborhood kids (mostly are boys). And my closest friends are boys too. At that time, we often played together. One boy, 3yrs older than me, was very considerate. Every time I didn’t wanna play games or what, he would quit too and then talked with me. I felt he was like a big brother, and he was indeed very nice to me. However we did not know what is gay. We just enjoyed playing together and having fun like normal kids. I guess that is the time when I started to realize maybe I fancy males more than females.

I had to say, after high school graduation, I just found out how gay is defined and so many gay people on the internet. It is my first time I feel so warmed and not lonely. Later on, I added some gay groups on QQ (a kind of Chinese MSN, with more useful functions though). I made some good friends there, many of whom told me to be careful when looking for gay friends online. Well I met bad guys there too… you know, some are very flirting and full of sweet,dirty words ,just trying to have sex with u….i am kinda pissed with those people at first.. but now I think it is very normal. Because those people just like to have sex with various guys they are interested in, no matter whether they truly love them or not….

Sometimes I really wish I could be born in a more gay-friendly country. Because in China, I am afraid to love and there r many things to concern…actually, many Chinese gays also like to do one night stands, which I cannot accept…thus I am so careful that I am still a virgin (so embarrassed ). Maybe you will ask how I meet my need when I want. .hahah…well. to be honest, I watch porns when I feel horny ..just masturbating though,, (OMG, I am not sure if it is appropriate to write, anyway that is me ).

I am so delighted that I can have access to Facebook, as you know, China has blocked it… I found good friends there too. They are very nice and helpful .Seeing they update their everyday happiness with friends and partners, I feel so good…cuz they made me believe there is true love out there , and a man worthing waiting for…I often imagine who will be my first and the last Mr. right. Lol.. I don’t know honestly… but I am looking forward to his coming….

This month I will be working in Guangdong Province, a whole new place. It is where my career will start off, and I hope my love will happen there as well..

God bless, and all the best~~!
