Reaction to: I did not fit store ‘look’ says disable student.
I think it is a shame she has to drag this company to the courthouse. I also think it is a pity some people will never grow up. They have bullied children when they were young, and when they work for themselves, have many responsibilities, perhaps they do have children of their own, and they still bully their colleagues. I think those people do not realise what consequences this behavior can have. Besides that, being bullied is terrible. I know that because my classmates have bullied me for several years. Some people cannot handle to be bullied, they might even commit suicide!

Riam Dean, a 22-year old girl, began to question her worth as human being, after she has been bullied out of her work. Riam was born with her left forearm missing, felt taunted. Riam has got permission to wear a cardigan, although this was not according to the strict ‘look policy’ of the company where she worked. Later, she was not allowed to work on the shop floor and she had to work in a stockroom, because she did not fit in the store ‘look’. She wants to be herself again and that is the reason why she dragged this company to the courthouse. She felt discriminated. The spokesman of this companie says that miss Dean is inaccurate.

Reaction to: Rocker´s horror movies recovered.
I do not really have an opinion about Alice Cooper, who lost his luggage at the Airport, especially not because his luggage contains 300 horror films. I do not like horror, in fact I hate it, but I do have an opinion about ‘losing luggage at the airport’. I have never lost any luggage at an airport, but I do have lost some possessions. For example a ring, this was of great value for me, because it was a present. My best friend gave it to me a long time ago. So I do think that the employee at an airport should be careful with possessions, which belongs to their customers.

Alice Cooper, Rock ´nd Roll legend, had lost his luggage, which contains three hundred horror films and a laptop. He lost his luggage last Tuesday when he landed at the Airport Heathrow. He was shocked when he realised he had lost his favourite films. He rewarded the founder. The person who founds his luggage and could return it to him intact, gets two tickets for one of his shows and backstage passes, so the founder is able to meet Alice Cooper himself. Unfortunately for all his fans, Heathrow Airport has found his luggage back. They have let him know that his luggage was on its way back to the Rock ´nd Roll singer.

Reaction to: UK man is world’s oldest at 113.
I think it is great if someone can reach this age! If I read an article about old people I am always wondering how would I feel if I was their age. Would my life have been fulfilled? Would I have done what I always have wanted to do? On the other hand, I am also wondering if I would like to be so old. Al my friends would pass away, and here I am, alone in this big world. A world that is changing every day. A world that creates new technologies, new things I cannot deal with. Would it be so good to live in a world I do not recognise anymore, because I am used to my old world, with its own technology=

Henry Allingham, born on 6 June 1896, is the oldest man on earth and oldest man, who has ever lived, in Britain. He surpassed Tomoji Tanabe, who lived in Japan. Tomoji was the oldest man on earth since 2007 until the day he died. When Tomoji passed away, Henry Allington became oldest. Henry also surpassed Welshman John Evens, who lived for over 112 years and 296 days. His family is very proud. Henry has five grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, 14 great great grandchildren and even one great great great grandchild. Henry is one of the two surviving World War One veterans in the UK. His friend, Dennis Goodwin, thought Henry became the oldest because he was and still is very philosophical.

Reaction to: Obama signs tobacco bill into law.
I think it is very important to reduce smoking. It is a very bad habit. It causes a lot of health trouble. Unfortunately, people are not so interested in their health, because they refuse to stop smoking. I think it should be forbidden by law to smoke, but that is almost impossible because so many people smoke. If nobody smokes, there would not be as many illnesses caused by smoking, as there are now. Those people would save a lot of money, and I think health insurances will be cheaper. If someone who does not smoke would save the money he would spend if he would smoke, he will become rich.

Barack Obama introduced a new law to reduce smoking in America. Nowadays, one in five Americans smokes. He wants to reduce underage smoking by eleven percent, and adult smoking by two percent in one decade. This law empowers the FDA to limit nicotine levels, to forbid tobacco advertisements within 1000 feet (300 meters) of schools. Tobacco companies have to get FDA approval to introduce new products and the FDA will design new graphic warnings. Obama promised to make a change in Washington, this is his first step.

Reaction to: Sarkozy stirs French burka debate.
I think everybody has the right to experience their religion, the way they want to. On the other hand I can understand why wearing burka’s is a problem for a society. Off course, I think it is important to integrate in a new society, if you have chosen to move to a country voluntarily. You have to get used to their habits and have to live with those habits. Those are the consequences of emigrating. I think burka’s are a problem if women wear them involuntarily. If they want to wear them because they think that is the way to spread their faith, they should have the possibility to wear burka’s.

Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8113778.stm
President Sarkozy shared his opinion about burkas in public when he answered some questions from MP members. He thought wearing a burka was not a sign of religion, but a sign of subservience. Five years ago the French cabinet has tried to ban headscarves from schools. The Muslim community felt stigmatised by the French government, and they will feel stigmatised again, if the French cabinet decides to ban the burka in France. This issue split the French cabinet. Sarkozy wants to ban the burka, but some other parties think that the government should be anxious not to isolate the Muslim population by dictating them what women should and should not wear.

Reaction to: Parents jailed over ´hell hole´ for children.
When I read this article a few hours ago, it frightened me. It might have been a bit naïve but I really thought such circumstances did not exist anymore. Unfortunately, they do. The parents have to go to jail for three years, I think they deserve more! They have forced their children to share a soiled and stinking bed. Such circumstances are so dangerous, for their health, but also for their children’s health. Besides that, they have shown that they are not capable of raising children, because if you are aware of all the responsibilities of having children, you would never let them live under these circumstances!

The children, two girls in the age of four and one, and a boy in the age of three, were forced to live in abject conditions. They were wearing nappies that were not changed in a while. Unfortunately, this type of child abuse continues. According to this article it is of great importance to look after each other, so we can put a stop to this kind of abuse.

Reaction to: Top Gear’s the Stig takes off his mask to reveal Michael Schumacher
We will never know who the Stig is. I think it is a pity, because, and we can all admit that, we are curious . It turned out to be a huge hoax. I thought it was very humoristic.

This was a huge surprise for the audience, but many people were not convinced that Michael Schumacher appeared to be the Stig. A BBC insider admitted Michael Schumacher was not the Stig. He also told the interviewer that Top Gear will not unmask the Stig. His words were: ‘We will never reveal who or what the Stig is.” It is a pity but we will never know who the Stig is.

Reaction to Susan Boyle gets standing ovation on return to Britain’s Got Talent tour
I think it is mindless to start a singing career without thinking of all the consequences it will have. I think it would be wise if Susan, in this case, had thought about what it meant to be famous. Off course, it might have been her dream to be famous, but I think it would still be wise to consider all sides of being famous. You do not have a private life anymore. It is a sacrifice you have to make if you want to be famous. Fans want to know every detail of your life, and Susan might have forgotten that.
