Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:40:25 GMT manuking55 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2096967.aspx Most of us are aware of all the happenings around the globe through television channels and newspapers, Do you rush to go through your newspaper and tv channels every morning immediately as soon as you wake up to know the current affairs. Some people just read the newspaper for hours without leaving any column and are ready to join any discussion going around them? Do you have this habit of reading newspapers top to bottom? Do you cover all the news channel in the tv for latest news? Fri, 07 Aug 2009 20:32:39 GMT yogambal_64 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2063910.aspx Although i don't want to watch the news, i feel like I have to know what is going on. The problem that I have is that since all the news is about same is getting killed or shot I found it very negative. I stop watching the news for like two weeks and then i start watching it again, but right after hearing all the bad things, I fear that inhumanity is being normal. The thing that I'm worried off is that I start depicting things and I get all worked up and I don't like that. What do you think, do you think that I should stop watching news? Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:22:20 GMT incredibleDNA http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1784989.aspx WE all have days or moments where we wish to step completely outside of our normal and expected behaviours and let loose once in a while! You know what I mean right? People post discussions on a whole range of serious topics from politics to relationships and current affairs etc; yet you get this sudden urge to just do something silly. Something quirky. Something TOTALLY unexpected so that people will look at what you have just shared and say WTF??? Well this is the interest group in which to do it! Come on people. If you ever wake up one day feeling slightly left of centre or just plain idiotic, then here's the interest section for you! All I ask is that we don't get too quirky to the point of being offensive. Who's with me? Mon, 10 Nov 2008 01:48:14 GMT James72 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2021361.aspx In the UK it is probably the political scandalsgoing on in our Parliament. You may have seen some of the discussions about this subject on mylot. The other political event in the news is our upcoming elections when our Labour Government is expected to do poorly. What's the big news where you are from ? Wed, 27 May 2009 06:18:48 GMT mike1976 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2021368.aspx There has been a huge bomb blast in the Pakistani city of Lahore which has killed 23 people and injured hundreds. Have you been affected by this or have any of your relatives ? It has been linked to Taliban insurgents. Do you think authorities are too hasty to blame the usual suspects or do you feel that they are justified in their assumptions ? Wed, 27 May 2009 06:25:03 GMT mike1976 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2018312.aspx I watched a current affairs program not too long ago and on it was a man who had a condition called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID. People who have BIID are usually very frustrated with a certain part of their body usually a limb. The problem can be of such an extent that the afflicted person will spend their days wishing for nothing more than to eliminate the particular body part and some have resorted to desperate measures in order to dispose of said limb as the gentleman on the news story did. After approaching several doctors over the years requesting for his right leg to be amputated and getting refused of course because no medico would perform such an operation on a perfectly healthy limb, he decided to take action himself. He waited until his wife and kids were out of the house, he obtained some dry ice, submerged his leg in it for six hours until it was practically dead which is the result discovered by his wife upon her return home. He was rushed to hospital and although he begged the doctors to amputate, they of course did all they could to save his limb but in the end the man got his wishes and lost the bottom half of his right leg. The man in question claims that the day of the amputation was the best day of his life despite all the pain he put himself through because now he was finally rid of the offending limb and along with this he had eliminated a great deal of anxiety; he claimed that he did not feel ‘complete’ until the leg was gone! Go figure! It is ever so hard to wrap my mind around someone feeling this way but according to medical authorities this disorder is a proven condition and the people who have it experience feelings which are very real. There have been many stories of people with this condition who have somehow cut a healthy limb to relieve their disturbance. I had not heard of anything like this before and I was amazed as I listened to the man describe his sentiments. It would have to be the weirdest thing I have seen on television in a long time. Have you ever heard of this disorder? What is the weirdest or most interesting thing you have seen on television?

Actually,,I am Kapuso and in my opinion, GMA shows is more intersting than ABS shows.. And I hate ABS (copy paste shows) Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:38:17 GMT jangmihoney http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1401783.aspx I have been a writer online for about 10 years and have experienced all kinds of things and thought that adding those experiences may help someone else to find the right place to suit them EPINIONS - My experience here is that there are too many chiefs and not enough indians. The pay is not very good at all and it's basically product reviews. Not impressed and feel pounced on from a great height by those that are the experts and hat wearers. DOOYOO.CO.UK - A great site for Brits because it is British based and a consumer site so suitable to product reviews although there are occasional places to discuss things like current affairs. The payment has just decreased though good quality reaps reward and the good articles are given a crown which sets them apart from others and pays more. Restrictions : The concept that writing more than 3 reviews a day is churning. What ? The site want content, so why discourage it ? CIAO.CO.UK A silly site. I was the most read author there for a while but the petty attitude of people got me down and I decided that writing was what I was about, not site politics. Pay not wonderful. Pay for surveys ok. Community a little on the imposing side and poetry and creative writing frowned on and not paid. TRIVAGO A serious site for the travel writer, though I wasn't sufficiently travel orientated to make money there. For those that really are into travel in a big way, the site has potential, though user input is huge and what is expected of you seems excessive, though as I say, if travel is your thing, then could be right up your street. AC Not sure about this place. The money I earned was paltry and I deserved better. Left the site as the feedback from site was really not orientated towards helping the writer. No real warmth at all and felt I wasted my efforts. HELIUM Now here, I found a place that actually gives a damn about its writers and pays them wonderfully well. I earn between 3-400 dollars a month and have all the feedback I need, and it is a site that encourages its members to improve, and to earn comensurate with the quality of their work. There is a forum called COMMUNITY and it is indeed the heart of the place. You can write on any topic as long as it is suited to a 13 year old youngest member audience and keep away from swearing, though when you think of those as small things, the bigger picture is worth it. The marketplace sells your work, the competitions motivate, and there is a sense of belonging there which no other writing site has ever given me. You also get paid for poetry and creative writing which makes it worthwhile for those that like to write this form of work, though mixing creative with knowledge articles reaps great returns. Sun, 10 Feb 2008 03:58:44 GMT thingywhatsit http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1797305.aspx I, along with millions of others in the UK, was very saddened to hear of the death of the child only known at this time as Baby P who died recently due to extreme abuse inflicted on him by his mother and her boyfriend and lodger. This is an excerpt from an online article: "Clive Preece, service manager at Haringey council, allegedly said the toddler - who had been taken away from his mother because of unexplained injuries - should go home. Senior social care worker Sylvia Henry claimed the concerns of the police and Mr Preece's colleagues were ignored. The baby had been removed from his mother's house in Tottenham, north London, in December 2006 after doctors at nearby Whittington Hospital noticed suspicious bruising on his body. She was arrested on suspicion of child cruelty, but no further action was taken. He spent five weeks in the care of family friend Angela Godfrey, who lived near his home, before being given back to his mother in January 2007. Eight months later he was dead, having suffered more than 50 injuries, including a broken spine and eight cracked ribs." I cried my eyes out whilst watching a documentary about it last night, disgusted that people could be so cruel and whilst I understand that social workers are receiving a lot of the blame, as far as I'm concerned the blame lies squarely at the feet of the animals who did this to the poor child and they deserve the maximum punishment they can be given which unfortunately in the UK does not include the death penalty. They will probably receive a life sentence and not even serve the full amount and be freed to possibly hurt other innocent children in the future. I know this discussion sounds very emotional and judgemental towards the killers but how do you feel about the potential punishment they'll receive? Do you think it is enough? If it were in your power, what sentence would you give them? Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:35:58 GMT anonymili
