Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the execution of a person by the state as punishment for a crime. outsourcing research

Some red water is nothing to be ashamed of. I think the obscene waste of food where they through all the tomatoes about is a far bigger disgrace.

I've never really got what's so great about the Trevi fountain. I suppose you have to be there with all the tourists to appreciate the romance or whatever.

It is wrong to take a life in any circumstance: 'legally' or illegally. No body should have the right to decide when another life is to end.

I believe that we all have lessons to learn in our lifetimes, and we should all have the chance to understand our mistakes, minor and major. Those who have judgment brought down on their heads for extreme crimes should be allowed time to consider their actions. The death penalty doesn't allow that, and simply makes a murderer of the judicial system that ends a life.

non è saggio stare contro gli americani, ma è opportuno far capire loro che noi italiani non siamo il loro "pasto" noi siamo un popolo libero, loro alleato e siamo loro debitori dopo la seconda grande guerra, ma ciò non implica che dobbiamo essere loro servitori, e le nostre idee potrebbero differire dai loro desideri militari, il nostro governo dovrebbe ascoltare di più il suo popolo.

Oh! I've been in Tenerife island in May 2000, during my "Just Married Trip"!
My wife and I was in a Hotel in Playa De Las Americas, on the south-west coast of the big island. I remember I went near the Teide, the highest mountain of the whole Spain.
It was a beautiful holiday.
I've never been in Ireland nor in the UK...

The tragic death of that unfortunate man was dreadful. The problems in Italy seem worse than they are in England. Why? Mainly because English clubs were forced to make stadia safer following Hillsborough in 1989 and because the UK Government has been clamping down on UK hooligans for over fifteen years now. Passports are taken away from the main perpetrators of soccer violence to prevent them travelling with England abroad. Thus we have seen a massive decline in soccer-related violence. Many countries on Continental Europe do not seem to have introduced similarly strict measures.

Some of you continentals seem to take things very seriously. Have you ever seen Spitting Image? It was a politicial satire puppet show from the 1980s. You see, we tend to make a mockery of ourselves as well as other people. Our humour is quite self-deprecating. My wife is French and has never really understood it.

Can't comment on the video I'm afraid as I've not seen it. Any response from Silvio in the Italian press?

Hi,

I'm from England but I've been to a few soccer games in Italy - around the year 1999 I think. We did see some violence - although mostly threats rather than the real thing. Roma v Juventus (with Zidane both scorer and sent off for dissent) was marred by fans throwing flares at each other (common practice I believe). At the end of the game someone spat at me on the way back to the hotel from his moped. I was wearing a Roma shirt. The other incident was at the San Siro at the Milan derby. Just getting tickets for that was scary - the touts were rather heavy looking if you know what I mean. Two clearly opposed fans tried to get at each other across the three of us during the game. Needless to say we were having none of it and told em to sit down. More flare throwing at opposing fans in that one as well. In that game Ronaldo got sent off. We seemed to have this effect on players over there!!

Frankly it seems to have stepped up a gear now. Two deaths in a matter of weeks. The picture of the policeman's wife was heart-wrenching. Mass football riots I've only ever seen in this country - at a Forest v Tottenham game in about 1995. Scary things to have to try and make your way through believe me. I feel for you guys out there - particularly when you just want to watch football. These people need to have the full weight of the law brought down on them so they don't ruin it anymore than they already have for everyone else.

Football is a tribal thing and I love it for that. But it doesn't have to be violent.

could you try to explain the senso of humor on this videoclip?
Do you think it is right to feel that this videoclip wants to introduce a sense of critique to the italian ex-government or to how Silvio Berlusconi is considered?

The English sense of humour can not be understood by those who are not English, that's what it means. Whether this is a good thing, or a bad thing, nobody knows...

I was doubtful when i heard that the Pope wanted to go to Turkey. I thougth that he had to respect Turkey majority of people, who demonstrated of not wanting him. But I know now that dialogue between religions is an important step in tring to reach peace. He had to go and he did. He has done a great thing showing respect for them, desire of knowing and speaking with them.

Again I will answer with the emma bonino's remark. "The Pope looks well farther than the italian political community", which has demonstrated a blind inconsitency in addressing the Turkey's workstrand. In the middle of the national general uncertainty, he has got to takeover the initiative upon its own shoulders, just not to leave turkey's deal simply unaddressed by the beach boys of political parties.
He is a Head of State. He has demonstrated it.

I think power changes people..even if one has good intentions when he reaches high positions, money and power become the only interests..doesn't matter where a person comes from.

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:14:38 +0100

agree.

Even those leaders who aspire to be people's leader before...after fighting hard to win for the seat and power...they usually lost their aspiration and couldn't see the people's plight anymore...

sad...seldom see one true people's leader nowadays...

I'm thinking to all politicians who aren't really able to see what people need..in my opinion they're often too far from understanding the daily lives and difficulties of "normal" people..

Dear Reira, thank you for having passed by.
I've read your article and I found in it quite a few convergencies. Actually, I share your consideration on keeping running onto your track, although, whilst running, the occurence of crucial details get the risk to be lost. In my life I've always faced the future ahead while I was concious it would have been better looking backwards from time to time. For the incoming convenience to stop by and loiternig around for a while, I'm trying to wide the narrow sight, slowing down the impetus of burning days and milestones.

What do you think? Do you mirror in it?

It's all about keeping the right balance ..
Balance itself it's hard to achieve but it is even harder to maintain it ''in balance'' ..just in the middle between indulgence and sentence, stall and climb (and descents as well) ,self esteem and humility .. old and new life.
And when you start this challenging process, you realise that it will take your entire lifetime: maintaining the right distance amongst the different elements that risk to threaten the balance you managed to find ,leading doubts and Chaos back into your life.
In the end, we are all funambulists trying not to fall down

ps. well done you!! :) I like it..
