Gay Dance Party???

An Australian High School that banned a student from bringing her girlfriend to her school dance insisted that it was due to the girls age and not the sexuality. Hannah Williams,16, was told that she couldn't bring her 15 year old girlfriend to the end of the year dance at Melbourne Ivanhoe because the ratio between boys/girls would be off. This was a a dance that was intended to have boys there because this was an all girls school and they where around girls all the time. The principal said this is an opportunity to enjoy "Boys". Her father Peter Williams filed an complaint but was unable to come to an resolution. So in the mean time he is trying to take this to a higher court saying this is unfair equal opportunity. Hannah has changed schools.

What is your take on this, do you think she should be able to take her girlfriend?

How would you feel if someone brought there girlfriend to MidAmerica Homecoming?

Pompeii's House of the Gladiators collapses

This is kind of a sad story, a 2,000 year old house that housed gladiators of ancient Rome collapsed. It was said to be the most archaeologically important houses in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The House of the Gladiators was thought to have been used by combatants to train or relax before entering the nearby amphitheatre. it was said to collapse because of poor archeological dig in the 50's and recent heavy rains. However I believe this is going to have an impact on the economy of the city. Because "Pompeii, near Naples in the south of Italy, is one of the most important archaeological sites in the country -- it received 2.2 million visitors in the first 10 months of 2010 generating $23.8 million according to Varone."

How do u feel about this tragedy/economic concern?
Do you believe the collapse was an accident?

SAfrican Newspaper

This week I decided to go with something positive. I stumbled across this article on YAHOO News as I was looking on what to right this week.
This week South Africa will be publishing their first newspaper in Zulu a local language; Zulu is an important language in politics and commerce in South Africa. Zulu is the countries biggest ethnic group. A 32-page Zulu edition will be launched in the eastern Kwa-Zulu Natal province Sunday, The Sunday Times expects a circulation of more than 10,000 and hopes to expand.
This is going to a great resource for the people who speak Zulu to keep in touch and be heard in South Africa.
How do you think this news paper is going to effect South Africa?
