	&lt;p&gt;The world or rather the 'west ' wants the Palestinians to rule themselves - to observe international methods of governance&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but how can they do that if Israel (with its sophisticated military - and its arrogance in the face of all - even the British and Americans can't plead with them to behave) ignores the right of the Palestinians to try to create a society based upon principles rather than the rule of the gun&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I just feel so gutted for the Palestinians - how the hell can these people ever trust the West &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;When the West clearly sides with Israel and turns a blind eye to acts of violation against Palestinian persons and property&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the arrogance is overwhelming and the complete impotence of the Brits in this situation is depressing&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;wow - the Palestinians - their lives are burning in an earthly hell and the world doesnt have the guts to extinguish the flames&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;this situation will only lead to madness - WHEN WILL OUR LEADERS CRY OUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;GOD I wish for peace - peace
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;lets see....the silly cartoon saga - what a bloody nuisance that was!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i just kept thinking why, why? why did they have to pour fuel on the fire that seemed at the time would consume us all&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but thankfully we are finally nearing an end to the riotting and mayhem (does riotting have two t's ? )&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;firstly - my initial reaction was - why? so i wanted an explanation from the cartoonist, editor of the magazine - what was the meaning - i was genuinely interested &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then i wanted to ask the muslims who were screaming revulsion - whay are you screaming? can you not speak calmly - why do you need to rage? beacause the europeans are not heartless machines who will not listen to your point of view - they are willing to listen to your argument, your sensitivities - but only if you speak politely and show them the respect you want for yourselves and your prophet&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;then the news tells us - that arab diplomats who wanted to meet with danish govt officials blah blah to discuss the matter had effectively been shunned&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well that is stupidity on the danish govt's part - rudeness too and probably arrogance&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and so it seemed to me that there were some europeans who felt that they are the champions of freedom - i imagine in all its forms - and so they shouldnt have to answer to muslims who have no respect for freedom ...........i felt there was an element of prejudice, stereotyping i.e arab muslim = barbarian (or maybe im being too harsh - who knows- but something was wrong with the refusal to meet with the diplomats - which was worrying)   &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and so they felt they were sending a clear message that freedom of speech cannot be curtailed at all - whatever - but the only thing is they were curtailing the muslims right to free speech by ignoring their initial quiet protest&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but moving on&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i have to say that i became curious - i wanted to see the cartoons to judge for myself&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;bloody hell - let the individual decide if the danish magazine people had insulted the prophet or not&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and also - why cant muslims be brave and take something like that on the chin - laugh back at the cartoonist for being immature in his understanding of world politics, culture, religions?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then i think also - as muslims we have no right to dictate to another who is not of the same faith - how and what rules he/she must observe when thinking of islam and the prophet muhammad -&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;for god's sake we cant control anyones mind - be he/ she a muslim or not&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;freedom is too precious&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but to the danes and others - who arrogantly bleat that they are simply upholding human rights blah blah i feel they should have been diplomatic and polite&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;a quick SORRY AND WE HOPE YOU CAN PARDON THIS BUT PLEASE REALISE THAT WE FEEL THE CARTOONS WERE ABOUT POLITICAL DEBATE RATHER THAN TO INSULT.......BLAH BLAH &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;would have been a sensible thing to do&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;IT WAS A SILLY TIME&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;BUT I HOPE MUSLIMS CAN SEE THROUGH THE STUPIDITY OF THE FEW WHO WERE HYPER AND BONKERS AND MAD AND BLOODY DISGUSTING AT TIMES &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;AND QUESTION WHY NON-MUSLIMS ARE QUESTIONING OUR FAITH AND ITS PEOPLE&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS EXPRESSED DISAPPROVAL OF THE CARTOONS BUT DIDNT GO MAD&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;for me the cartoon said - muslims your religion has been tarnished by the terrorism, the corrupt governments, by the childish arrogance of community leaders and so on&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;it makes me want to work even harder to help build bridges and real respect between all types of humans&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i hope this is a coherent answer!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;peace and love
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;leave guilt to God's justice &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;leave people to live&lt;br&gt;
religion&lt;br&gt;
practise freely&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then their guilt will not lead them astray&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;it is the guilt - that subjugates and destroys people&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;guilt is leading them to self-destruct in the name of a cause

A shrouded figure&lt;br&gt;
A shrouded figure&lt;br&gt;
Hidden are his wounds&lt;br&gt;
They are not on display&lt;br&gt;
But his bravery is!&lt;br&gt;
Dumbstruck, he knows not the meaning of this&lt;br&gt;
Bravery? Bravery? Bravery!?&lt;br&gt;
So this is what it means to be brave&lt;br&gt;
So this is what it means to be a martyr&lt;br&gt;
His body mutilated in unimaginable ways&lt;br&gt;
His soul mutilated by an unspeakable blow&lt;br&gt;
This is our martyr&lt;br&gt;
This is our martyr&lt;br&gt;
Broken in life&lt;br&gt;
Destroyed in death&lt;br&gt;
This is our martyr&lt;br&gt;
This is our martyr&lt;br&gt;
Overcome mothers cry out, cry out!&lt;br&gt;
Speak up!&lt;br&gt;
Heads up!&lt;br&gt;
Hold them accountable, the world, they&lt;br&gt;
That have stolen your hearts and left them to bleed&lt;br&gt;
A thousand times – cry out against the villains&lt;br&gt;
They who have befouled the earth and&lt;br&gt;
Deadened the passions of youth&lt;br&gt;
Cry out for your child to stop and be at peace&lt;br&gt;
At peace&lt;br&gt;
At peace&lt;br&gt;
At peace&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;when people go about their daily lives do they feel free?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;what makes us feel free?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;have some people not got that sense of freedom? do they not feel free?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why are europeans willing to die for overseas causes?  even after we see these acts only cause innocent suffering - i dont think the americans are yet scared and running from iraq?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i dont know&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the belgian woman who became a suicide bomber in iraq - her mother says she became more muslim than a muslim - i e  something else was happening to her - something beyond being a religious person - maybe this thing this feeling could consume any of us at a certain  moment - with the right ingredients - shit &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;if only all the weaponry on our planet could be wiped away! i wish things were simple!&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;the Ottoman empire had to be destroyed one way or another - the wealth of the middle east - the trade routes, the gas, the oil..................they were natural resources (lucrative) required by any ambitious state - the crucial weapon in fragmenting, destroying the "Islamic world" was by causing division, by creating polarisation between the educated classes and the ruling classes and the lesser levels of society&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but the really cool tool was to encourage rebellion, to encourage muslims to identify with radical islamist groups &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;this caused internal strife and discord amongst muslim societies - but also caused western societies to accept the idea that muslims could not be at peace with non-muslims&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and funnily, muslims too are this way encouraged to believe the same&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;so-called muslim scholars dish out hate nonsense and try to convince muslims that their faith requires them to shun the infidel&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;muslim scholars, rebel leaders, whatever, do the same as any other leader - they try to intoxicate, distract, beguile, brainwash, scare, humble the masses into believing their way &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;when the certain so-called scholars, writers......tell us that there is a world wide jihad, that muslims must hate others, in particular jews - then the more these lies are regurgitated the more people blindly believe&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and the silly terrorists are there to confirm our fears and their lies - people joining terror groups for personal reasons but using justifications mouthed to them by others who have other reasons for spreading hate and violence&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;these people who fall for the terror talk and think its ok to blow up others for a reason - what bloody reason?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;blowing people up gives no answer to anyone - but they are blinded by powerful seducers - the leaders of our world&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Israelis have been the most apt at this game of stereotyping muslims - and the bloody terrorists only help such people &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Its sickening - stupid riots happen in Paris and some Israelis take the chance to say - yes! yes! another intifada, jihad hahaha france we told you so there is a jihad! &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;thank God for the Israelis and Jews who stand above this rubbish hate talk and try to speak objectively for the good of humanity (we need to know more about the good muslims and jews who are the majority - i believe this)(please dont imagine good equals jews wailing at wall and muslims hitting the floor! good in human general terms ok ok)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and as for the rioters - idiots! they do themselves no favours! &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;stereotypes  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;all societies do it&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;stereotypes - are vivid and easier to digest, register than the truth which for some reason is often hard to get at&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;some muslims have heard the explanation of jihad as a war requirement so many times from both sides of the media  that they hold it above as a true part of their faith&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;islam is not perfect - nothing is perfect&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but the religion has been hijacked and slandered&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;meanwhile somewhere muslim extreme beardy men or maybe they are not all bearded - are enjoying the power they get from alienating their people from the world&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and meanwhile the hawks, neo-cons, gangsters, corporations blah blah are happy as they have excuses for tightening the noose around the world's collective right to freedom    &lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;i dont know&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;imagine if young palestinians and Israelis - especially the soldiers could stand face to face and look into each others eyes&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;how long could the hate dictate their lives?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the girl in the picture has clasped the soldiers hand - there is no explanation as to what he or she are saying exactly at that moment - i wish there were&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;those pics intrigue me - we can only guess at the words, emotions of both &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;anyway they are pictures at al-jazeera (english) showing  a protest in hebron against the closure of roads and therefore schools for palestinians&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;remember the story about the British and German soldiers playing football at Christmas? ww1?  as a teenager reading about that - well, i was shocked at the cruelty of life, fate &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;they had to go back and shoot each other - no choice&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;peace everyone

	&lt;p&gt;parents too (it is hoped - will contribute to ideas put forward for design)have a say - but i am so sad that not many actually come out and actively take part &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well, the headteacher and i were feeling very jealous of the private school in chigwell - which happens to be a town within a borough! it is spectacular!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and what is our school in comparison? - a nothing, a blip - oh so unfair!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but i think this is the opportunity to learn from others and re develop our school - we can never compete with that school it is huge - but we can have a sports area in our vacant concrete ground - we can encourage sports other than football - not all children love and play football well, they are often pushed out of games by the more able or confident children&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;children need activities, hobbies, they need to enjoy and feel good about themselves and learn team work and respect for their local world - and then perhaps they have a better chance of becoming happier, positive people in the world at large      &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but how do we convince the battle-axe chair of governors to have the courage to speak up for the kids?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;something i have noticed - there is too much money spent on the arts - such as groups of musicians coming in to play and display their instruments but not enough children playing instruments&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why are we not funded for violin, piano, chello, drums, sitar..... etc lessons - there is a music section in the local education building... who send out letters to us parents declaring the hard work they do with our children but when we ask for lessons that we are willing to pay for as long as they come to the local school - we hear nothing, not an answer - some children, some schools get alot and others get very little........how does that happen?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why are we failing? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;this is my mission - i want to know why things just dont happen even though we fundraise, we pay taxes blah blah&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the chair and the local education authority have a very patronising attitude towards parents - they behave as though they are a charity organisation - and that we should be grateful for the handouts - when we question a policy - we&lt;br&gt;
are quickly made to realise our place in the hierarchy just by a look!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;thats how it was at the first meeting i attended  - very strange atmosphere - false, political, cut-throat&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;no wonder so few parents who are vocal in the playground do not have the nerve to take part in the governing body&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;in some ways the local working class, un-educated or under - educated people just cant cope agaisnt the minority local middle class snooty guffawing parents &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i've noticed some middle class types who aspire to positions of power laugh very loudly and unnaturally prolong that laugh at a joke that may not be that funny&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but this is all a learning experience - and i hope i dont become false but im afraid i probably will - god i hope not &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i want an excellent school - buzzing, with real learning - no fucking jokes, no charity education please, real academic stuff - its ok if kids are not all academic - help them consume at their own rate up to their level, and then also lots and lots of drama, music, sport sport sport - football yeah ok - cricket bring back cricket - it is an indigenous, national, excellent game - &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;if we were in the states i would want a baseball pitch - i'll never forget the autumn scene in New Jersey - kids dressed for baseball with their parents playing and enjoying&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well i will be quiet now&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;this country needs to sort itself out! the reports of violence in schools are scary - something is not right - and now back to life!   &lt;/p&gt;

To shake it all off, to shake of the winter malady of increased stress, the knowing that we are in a cage, a cauldron bubbling, a machine conveyer belt in a factory churning and turning out work, wages, profit, control of a world out of our reach.  Sometimes you want to break those chains of observance, submission and just chill, just sit down and not even think, perhaps just close your eyes and dream of an island, an oasis better than this life. The hope is paradise whether found here or in the sky beyond clouds, beyond our human reach deep into the heart of that wonder that has plagued us humans since our inception. We wonder and we hope, some of us work incessantly for our dreams and others demand from others, well whatever, we all want the same thing. Paradise.
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;but why cant i go to bed at 10? why? i so want to&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i want people to stop highlighting differences - i'm tired of differences&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why on earth cant we just live - often people want to moan about something - im writing rubbish again&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;oh my god rufus is not bad - why didnt i like him before? the one i love sounds good but im not registering his words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do you know what i mean - when u just start going over to the other world and so you are half way through - and so you hear some but not all............im going to listen properly and then go to bed&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;goodnight and peace and people dont be scared - life is ok - im scared there might be an awful spirit in my bedroom left 6 years ago by the voodoo lady or maybe its older - so im trying to move my bed about - to find a position which avoids her - she wont let me sleep - goodnight   &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i cant sleep now&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i banish that vision away - so i will sleep&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;ok a few days ago i was walking in front of my son's teacher - i turned abruptly to ask him which new whiteboard had been damaged and i caught him picking his nose - but i pretended to have not noticed and carried on as normal&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but now&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i keep having flashbacks and i feel sick and i lose my appetite - help me someone! please - ok goodnight

	&lt;p&gt;and i have never had the fortune of being elevated above a white person anywhere at anytime but whatever.........................&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but i want to know more - about these riots -&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i dont understand why people think rioting is the answer or their right &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but immigrants are not alone - anarchists, anti-war, anti-globalisation types riot too, don't they?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;birmingham riots? well they are idiots whoever they are&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i think too much political correctness has been going on for sure&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;integration is the answer&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;respect is another answer&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and bringing into the curriculum more english literature and history - but no nationalist crap that panders to the narrow world view of fascistic types - but some traditions &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but not just that let people feel some self-worth&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;that is lacking&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;my daughter calls him harry totter&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i like that&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i went to see the film - enjoyed &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why do i like harry so much?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i realise that i see in him an image of my son - and so i have been watching the films like a mother&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;its a strange feeling i get&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i made my husband watch and then i asked him whether he felt the feeling too - he just nodded, a little smile, but i wonder still - do fathers feel the same tingling that mothers do? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;or am i just bonkers and other mothers do not recognise what i am trying to say?!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;anyway goodbye peace

	&lt;p&gt;a voice&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;a vision that spoke our words&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;a photo summed up the crap feeling i had from the rubbishy stuff thats been going off in the world&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;check out bbc pictures section&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;its a pic of a Jordanian bride with two men (father and father in law) all 3 are reported dead from guess what?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;not a difficult question is it?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;when will it end?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;when will blair stop being such a suicidal fool?!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;yes we need tough laws but the way he speaks, behaves everything about him as a politician - a labour leader - is just &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;................................................................i cant think of a word&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i feel like he is losing his sense of balance - in trying to remain a credible leader and trying to keep up with the nutty bush wagon he is losing his step&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;im losing my patience - maybe i'll end up voting conservative - no god nooooooo! but the liberals what are they really about?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i'm tired plus going out to get curtains plus trying to find an excuse to get out of an invitation to an evening of movies on sofa type thingy - i feel bad now for writing that well - &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;peace

	&lt;p&gt;her work - she is the principal wage earner in her home&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but my mum let me know yesterday that she is struggling - behind closed doors she cries........&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;wow imagine &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;her son grew up before us - he was my sister's school friend&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;so sad&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the secrets people hold in their hearts - silent suffering  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;on a lighter note - i need to think of a party idea for my 8 yr old - he has had many birthday parties - im wondering what now - i cant keep giving them parties every year - they have to share - i mean my daughters are old enough for "proper" parties too&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;such a dilemma

Fisk: The Muslim world has not begun to ask about the bin Ladens, and the Mullah Omars, and the Mohamed Attas. There hasn't been a single sociological inquiry, not one serious discourse about how these people came to be what they are. When are Muslims in the Middle East and in the subcontinent going to ask these questions? How could believers, people who regard themselves as true Muslims, get on those planes, quoting the words of God delivered through the Prophet to themselves, knowing they were going to kill innocent people? They saw the other passengers on the plane. They could see the woman with her little daughter. They saw people making phone calls to their wives or their husbands. They knew who they were killing. These guys got on airplanes with kids and women and innocent people on board, knowing that they were going to vaporize them. And they came on board allegedly rereading quotations from the Koran. There is a problem here. And I don't think that problem has got anywhere near being addressed in the Muslim world. Whatever the political injustices are that created an environment that brought this about, it was not Americans who flew those planes into those buildings. And we should remember that. The crimes against humanity were perpetrated by people who were Arab Muslims. And I haven't seen anyone address that issue out here. And they should.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;thank you  Mr Fisk&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;since i was a kid i have been asking these questions &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;instead of homework i was wondering &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then comes along 9/11&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and the rest ...........................................................and i am thinking, wondering, stressing, sighing- hoping, wanting answers - we will get out of this mess - how is the world the way it is?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;some are asking whether the intensive bombing in afghanistan helped create the massive earthquake in pakistan&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;another aftershock occurred today - roads opened are once again blocked - this is a real trial for pakistan and meanwhile india is buying up weaponry on a scale that terrifies me all the way in england - why do they need it? for fucks sake - give it up. sorry everyone for the bad lang.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;peace!

	&lt;p&gt;they are amazing&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;laughter, crazy fights, tantrums, grins, toddler rebellion&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;they are so cute and wild and sweet and just wonderful&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;right now they are running in circles giggling and trying to trick me into not noticing they have managed to get the tv on&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i dont know - i am lost for words&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;they drive me nuts too but its the best kind of nutty feeling&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and as for the career it will happen - i know it - hey does anyone else like the scissor sisters? i never thought i would but they are good to dance to!

	&lt;p&gt;another thank god said - no - if we do these things we are the ones who will suffer&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i think the paris situation has highlighted the disturbing reality of france's so called humane view of politics society blah blah&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;despite my anger at certain policies blair has put us through - still we live in a better society&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;we talk about the lack of respect and rights, we have many real rights - that yes might be undermined at times but we have it better here in the uk&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well that was just a general feeling......................im cold and tired from partying too much &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;bye and peace
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;the softies were chinese illegal immigrants who work in the construction industry - they are actually highly skilled &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;highly motivated men and women who work so hard that others become afraid for their health&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well anyway - i have heard that during that night a gang broke into their home &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;stabbed, beat, forced their way through these unfortunate peoples few belongings - took their money, mobiles etc&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;a local - spent the entire night driving the injured to the hospital&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the police have now taken in his car which was soaked in blood - these men were brutally beaten and cut up&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;anyone who knew of these men is in shock at the gravity of the cruelty - inhumanity --------so wrong&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;these chinese men are finished - traumatised - mutilated - back to square one - penniless and perhaps off to china to face their debts (they pay thousands to come here)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;whatever the rights and wrongs of illegal immigration - these people work their guts out for our economy and i have come to believe the government allows it to carry on as modern slavery keeps our health system in particular going&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the chinese are seen as soft targets by certain members of london society - there are times as alondoner you have to act tough towards such people as they will target you - when driving, when in a line for a ticket blah blah anywhere there are certain types who never grow up - they remain the losers - the bullies  - jealous of other peoples success even if its minimal - they dont want others to succeed&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;some chinese were working - a knock at the door was heard - they thought it was ok to open up to a stranger &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;they were attacked too - the police cant help - its scares me that there are anonymous people out there with no protection &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the grey matter, non-defined organic robots - muted silent
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;disaster&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;indian train crash 100 dead indian bombings delhi - 48 dead&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i feel sick&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;all day i have been fasting - i felt so tired - usually the last days of ramadan are hard on me - i dont know why, they are shorter than at the beginning - but i think i get tired and then that makes me miserable - but i have been fighting the hunger stress by telling myself i must learn self-discipline&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;plus i think of all the children who have no choice - they face poverty and starvation&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;that gets me through - well once i had broken the fast and decided to check up on the world - i got terribly distressed &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;when is this bombing crap going to end?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;im beginning to wonder whether london will be next - round 2 - we cant be left in peace can we?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;why are people going mad in the world? i want to answer this thought with - because there is no justice - is that it?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;no real power through ordinary political channels&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;has anyone noticed that the israelis are saying that they cannot deal with the current leaders of palestine? they cannot deal with them - does that really mean that they dont want to? so they exterminate them one by one? they say they will wait for the next generation of leaders to come through - a generation that is scarred by violence? it just seems so disgusting - a whole nation is tortured into submission - they are not alone other groups around the globe suffer often with no media attention&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i feel sick&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then the bombs - on the eve of eid and diwali - i feel sick - but my heart says that diplomacy, dialogue, justice must be the greater tools used to overcome the madness&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;has anyone noticed the paris riots? 2 teens dead - electrocuted - crazyiness&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;sorry people - i just feel sickened - i cant even pray that the bombers may not be muslim - it just seems routine that its them - muslims - al qaida - fanatics - whatever &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and i am a muslim - and so are many of the victims - who are these muslims who kill in the name of Allah?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;they have shamed us - they are destroying islam&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i m sorry for this depressing talk&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i made chocolate brownies  and carrot cake with my little girl - they are yummy!    bye
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;i feel moved to write something &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;in this world of the 24 hours news broadcasts we feel somehow connected to the events across the globe - as they happen we are there - but really we are not - we just watch - and the worst part is we are powerless&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;we cant stop the mayhem&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;we live in a 1984 situation - we live in a system which ultimately requires we shut up and put up with it all&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i am not anti - semetic - never would that happen - but i am against the masters behind the state of israel&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;this country was born out of terror politics and tactics - it exists today by the same policy  - terror upon terror&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the people of israel are being used by their leaders - ordinary people die in suicide bombings which can be stopped&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;give palestinians a real state - give them back as much as is possible - it was theirs to begin with - give the majority back - let the refugees return&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and create a real peace - where jews muslims christians live in harmony (ok relative harmony - cant have perfection)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;these peoples have lived togther before - they can do it again
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;why are shots heard and men stabbed - why is a man dead? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;where is the raped or abused girl?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i am ashamed, disgusted to hear that asian youths decided it would be a good idea to stone people at a meeting &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;ridiculous behaviour&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;idiots &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;maybe we need compulsory military service - young people or old who do nothing but cause havoc, trouble ......send them off to the desert to find some water - they  could create irrigation projects or something like that.........oh what rubbish im writing&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i wish there were an answer&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;well id be interested in some answers to social malaise - im going to watch magdalene sisters now - goodnight - peace
&lt;/p&gt;
