Global Warming Effects In Africa


Mount Kilimanjaro stripped of its snowcap for the first time in 11,000 years will be used as dramatic testimony for action against global warming as ministers from the world's biggest polluters meet. This is a wake-up call and an unequivocal message that a low-carbon global economy is necessary, achievable and affordable,"

Women - What Women ?

gophercentral:" A BBC reality TV show that will remove most of a small town's women for a week has created a firestorm of controversy, The Times of London reports. -The Week The Women Went- is scheduled to begin filming April 10 when the network puts up 80 of Harby's 119 women in a hotel to see how the men cope without them. The town's entire population is 240. While many of the women are looking forward to their week of freedom, some of the men are less than impressed, not of being left alone, but the image of themselves and the village. This is going to be a tacky, tawdry program that will do a lot of harm, said resident Paul Marshall. I have seen this kind of TV and nobody comes out of it looking good. An emergency parish council meeting has been called for next week to address the concerns. Meanwhile, the BBC defended the concept, describing it as an intriguing social experiment designed to see how a community of men rises to the challenge of filling all the roles in village life.What do you think of this show -The Week The Women Went ?- Hello..Hello, where can I sign-up..lol Wonder if Donald Trump would give this one a try?"

Love What It Feels Like

gophercentral:" Study says love is understanding feelings Love is like "cleaning the toilet without being asked," says a British researcher of human relations. Dr. Simon Watts, author of a new study into love and how men and women define it, is convinced the secret of nourishing a partnership between two people is understanding the power of the other person's feelings, the Western Mail said. "My definition of love is cleaning the toilet without being asked," he said. "It's doing something you find utterly abhorrent for somebody. You go and do these things because you know it brings them pleasure if you have done it." His research has revealed the crucial importance of feelings and emotions in a modern relationship. The results of the research project by Watts of Nottingham Trent University, and Dr Paul Stenner of University College London, are published in the British Journal of Social Psychology. Well I don't know if I like the wording of love is, like (cleaning a toilet) I think of more like giving of ones self in order to make your partner happy, as I have tried to do in my relationship. Yes their has been times I was so mad at him I want to, well.. You know, but didn't. Because I felt it wasn't worth the fight it would bring. But I have also learned something over the past month, you can love someone and be so angry at them (because you keep every little thing you have been upset with them about-bottled up) that you do something stupid and tell them you don't want to talk to them ever again. Only to hurt them and yourself. So I have learned you can love some one with every fiber of your body, but if you don't talk to them about the things they do that make you sad, then you don't love and trust them enough to think they wouldn't understand. I found out the hard way and may of lost the love of my life because I acted like a child and blew-up at him, Yes we are talking again, but I'm not sure if he wants me back now. So I learned this also if you love them, don't hide your angry, talk to them so it makes your love stronger."

Women Hello! Just Say NO!

gophercentral:" Jordan men encouraged to take second wife. A Jordanian Islamic center is encouraging men to take a second wife by promising financial assistance and reward, reports said Thursday. The daily al-Rai said the center promised men who marry a second wife it would pay for the wedding expenses and provide financial aid if the marriage is approved in advance by the first wife. "The Islamic center's call has been largely circulated in the cities of Zarqa and Irbid through faxes and e-mail," the paper said. The center said its call for second marriages was stimulated by a study indicating 67 percent of Jordanian women are unwed, "which necessitates action to protect the honor of these Muslim women." Polygamy is allowed under Islam with men able have as many as four wives, but many Arab Muslim countries, including Jordan and Egypt, placed certain restrictions on the practice, such as the approval of the first wife. Other countries such as Tunisia, banned polygamy altogether. Well gentlemen, If more women thought like I do none of you would ever get more then one wife. Because the man I'm with better not even thing for a minute, I would even consider letting him take a second, let alone a third or fourth!! ...Unless he would be will to let me take as many HUSBANDS..As wives he took, Yes I am very selfish of my partner and bed-mate. I don't share!! With no other women...LOL"

Teen hit by shotgun blast critical

Dayton:"A 17-year-old was critically wounded by a shotgun blast at 10:22 p.m. Saturday, police said. The boy was taken to the Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition after surgery Sunday. The boy was injured in what police said was a fight over a girl. Several males fought and one fired a shotgun at the boy, hiting him in the stomach and shoulders, police said... No one had been arrested by Sunday evening. When are men going to understand, it don't matter who is stronger when you fight for our hand. We have the final say, and we'll decide who we choose to be with. Just because you use Cave-man style to hold us don't mean we want you. Why do so many still think, that if you prove you are stronger, it makes you a winner?"
