This is truly appalling and heartbreaking! I saw the pictures and they were gruesome, so graphic; people attacked with machetes, some of them barely alive! I just don't get it, especially from a group of people who themselves endured years of persecution and had to flee their motherland in...

This is beyond appalling! I just don't know how people like these two can sleep at night. -and why do they keep churning out more and more children if they can't be bothered to care for them?! They're vile beyond words and I pray that they get their just desserts! One of them is more than...

Who knows what could have happened had Kidder had not been warned about the perp's intentions? But I do believe that some criminals would rather die than face the music, and ultimately serve their prison term. They'd rather take the coward's way out. I think in this case, they try everything...

People will always find something to judge you on. I'm the sort of person who's never really cared about what people think or say about me. I mean, it does sting and hurt a little, but you grow thick skin over time and learn to rise above it because you can't please all of the people all of the...

Yes, I too would be interested in those, Joan. So if you don't mind, please post a link or let us know where you got yours. I'm not sure about the legality here, but I'd feel a lot safer if I had one of those on me where I am because muggings are on the rise. I don't jog, but tend to power walk...

Like PhilA, whatever my dream job is; it has to be self-employed. I much prefer to be my own boss than to be employed; having someone breathe down my neck about something or other, the office politics etc. I have two main dream jobs, really. One would be to run a very successful high end, posh...

I'm the first of five, and am neither daddy'd or mummy's girl. Growing up, my mum and I used to be at each other's throats all the time, and my dad would have to step in and mediate. I moved away from home when I was 18 and over the years, my relationship with my mum has improved vastly. The...

It's always the case that a few bad apples will tar the whole lot. It's sad, but people always remember the bad experiences and totally forget the positives. -and don't let's forget, the media will always push the negative stories and over sensationalise them because they sell better. There are...

I totally agree that it's justified where the alleged perpetrator is resisting arrest and not cooperating with the police, being a nuisance and posing a threat to both the public and police safety. I believe strongly that if the individual is armed, and waving their weapon around recklessly...

This is so very wrong on so many levels! I thought in those type churches, the women usually seek guidance and counselling from the pastor's wife, to guard against exactly those types of situations?! These women are shameful, and the pastor although infallible and as human as all of us, took...

That's what's laughable; they always plead insanity in-spite of never having had mental issues prior to their heinous crimes! I don't believe the sister had the audacity to come out with such a statement, in view of what her brother did. Sure, we all love our nearest and dearest warts and all...

I totally agree, Shimus. I'd much rather report and discuss good and bad stuff as and when it happens, to have the freedom and flexibility. I see the value of reporting the positives, but I also don't want it to feel like it's forced or contrived. True life is a representation of both, and as...

Let's see, I'd bring more or less the same stuff as dyanmarie25: - All my family and favourite people - A lot of food and water to last us that whole duration - A whole lot of reading material to keep myself entertained

VILE woman! I agree with you dyanmarie25, she can't be all there upstairs, she needs her head checked. For her to dump her son in the woods; a disabled son who needs as much help as he can get is beyond cruel! -and for what, so she could go and visit her boyfriend?! I wonder if she'd told him...

He just keeps "tripping himself up" and showing himself up! I think he definitely has anger management and control issues. He seems to prefer talking with his fists rather that "wasting time" on talking like most people do! Any shred of sympathy he may have had has been shot to dust, because...

Wow, this is beyond vile! -and for that female agent to actually be party to this creepy behaviour, is very appalling! They're also very stupid when you consider jobs are very thin on the ground these days; just why would they want to compromise their position and tarnish their reputation?! Very...

Some people do very well for themselves even without a university Degree and/or other fancy qualifications. BUT a Degree offers you a safety net because a lot of high ranking white collar jobs do ask for it as the bear minimum. In Botswana especially, companies place a lot of importance on...

If I'm in full time employment, I hate getting up at an unGodly hour to get ready for work, especially if it involves a very long commute! I like to wake up naturally and just go with how my body feels on the day, although I generally get up at roughly the same time every day. I'm lucky because...

I have a very eclectic taste in music, so I can't say I have a particular genre I favour over the rest. I listen to a little of everything; anything that sounds good to me is cool. I have to say though, I'm not into anything too heavy LOL

I am not part of any community group, but I wish I were. It's always very useful to have people you can rely on and vice versa, in times of need or for security reasons. Luckily for me at this stage, I live in a gated community with security at the gate. It's fairly safe, so it's enough for now :)
