I don't know if this is terrorism so much as the work of the criminally insane. The driver has to be funny in the head.

The guy was waiting for that bus with our Queen inside. His main goal was to crash into that bus. I wonder if he was criminally insane. He doesn't have any criminal record or some history with mental illness.

In 1988 he was arrested and went to jail for 10 (!) years. After that he was sent to a psychiatric clinic for another 3 years. He became a free man in august 2001.

Today Ferdi Elsas died at the age of 66 years when he was riding on his bicycle. He was hit by a swinging loader...

Not local news....but pretty typical news is that three prisoners, including one of Belgium's most dangerous criminals, have staged an audacious escape, breaking out in broad daylight aboard a hijacked helicopter.

This reminds me of the escape attempt from Marc Dutroux
(Belgium's most famous convicted pedophile, murderer and a leader of an international child pornography and prostitution ring). He was also able to escape (thank god the caught him again !!!)

Nice to know our neighbours can't handle extreem dangerous psychopaths Sad

there is a wire mounted to the mountain and a fence, where the ram eats grass... the ram did get outside of the fence that should keep it away from the wire.... then the ram hooked his horns to the wire while eating, trying to get loose did just throw him out on the wire...

Yesterday, a guy who was running across a main street completely naked, caused a car accident in Dietzenbach near Frankfurt, Germany. He told the police, he was "a religious figure". He was sent to an asylum.

Sorry, I had to revive this ole thread. This is probably the weirdest news you are going to read for a while

http://shine.yahoo.com/parenti...00388.html

Quote:
Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44, have spent half the decade concealing the gender of their son, Sasha.
....

For years, Becks has been referring to her child, the youngest of three, as "the infant"....

....

The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts and cargo pants. In one photo, sent to friends and family, Sasha's dressed in a shiny pink girl's swimsuit.

More about it here.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/ho...years.html

To allow his real personality shine through? Sure it will, when he disowns his parents after years of humiliation they've put him through, and bullying now all the locals and kids know. What parent in their right mind would do this crazy social experiment on their own child?

I would hardly call it gender-neutral, seeing as she couldn't wait to dress him up in girls dresses at every opportunity. Her excuse of boys and girls common preferences of toys and clothes being stupid stereotypes is total nonsense, it's just what naturally separates masculinity from feminiinity and have been so for 1000's of years. Bloody hippies.

More likely is that she was disappointed that he wasn't born female. She's deliberately and forcefully trying to feminise him, giving him a feminine name, they could have given him a more appropriate neutral name like Jamie or Kelly etc. Instead, they've put him at real risk of an identity crisis and bullies. He didn't look too happy in the fairy photo. Now she's gone and told the whole world about it. Poor lad.

The mother says, "And I could never persuade anyone in the group to come round for coffee. They just thought I was mental."

No shit?!

I predict 'the infant' will go on to become a top cage fighter, or join the SAS, or anything else that'll horrify his godawful parents.

They are idiots. Human biology does respect gender neutrality. There is a very strong evolutionary reason for gender differences. The very mechanism used to pass on geneteic code respects gender. Mitochondrial DNA almost comes always comes from the female. These people are human refuse. Let them die off. It really gets on my goat when people try to force cultural beliefs on others particularly when it violates biology. It just makes no freaking sense.

Oh dear, I can have fun with this thread. I'm sure all the other Aussies are familiar with NT News, the most bizarre newspaper in Australia (and it has healthy competition from the Townsville Bulletin!), but if you're not, here's the best place to look:

50-60 years from now, I wonder how many of us will still be tinkering with the old Commodore? Cool
