Hi All
I very rarely post much on these forums but am hoping for anyone reading this if you can help a little in the following:
As some may know the Hillsborough Anniversary is again fast approaching, on April 15th 1989 96 Liverpool Fans tragically lost their lives that day and after a long & frustrating 22 years the families of those lost are still fighting for the justice that they and the 96 lost deserve, for more information regarding this please follow this link: Welcome to The Hillsborough Justice Campaign
Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on Liverpool fans and their supposed atrocious behavior, of course all those were sick, vile lies and since that day, Liverpool fans & Liverpudlians including the Everton fanbase have seeked to Boycott that vile newspaper whom still have yet to make any form of sincere apology.
If I can ask for one simple favour; Stephen Smith is a very talented music artist who recently released his album 'Next Train to Nowhere' on the album contains the song 'Liar, Liar' of which he has just released Monday gone (April 4th) in attempt to get it into the charts for the week leading upto the Hillsborough Disaster & there's also been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.
We ask that for just a paltry sum of 0.79p to download the song of which as mentioned above can really help bring awareness of the tragedy and what befalled it to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.
Not only will you be massively helping families who are still grieving to this day as they still have yet to receive the closure their loved ones deserved but the song in itself is worth purchasing alone written & performed by an exepetionally talented musician.
All proceeds from Liar Liar will be donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hope for Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.

RIP.
On that sad day, my grandfather, auntie, two uncles and my uncles friend went to watch their team play a game. Only four returned home again.
The events of that day are widely reported and I've never heard them speak of their ordeal.
One of my earliest memories of my uncle was him on crutches for so long afterwards.
You'll never walk alone.

Long time downloader, first time poster, I hope nobody minds me diving in with a sizable request.
My girlfriends dad, Keith, has made it to the final five contestants on Virgin Atlantic's Sir Richard Branson Lookalike Competition, and I'd like for you all to have the chance to place your vote.
We've started falling behind on the votes and after all the effort we've put in (radio coverage, papers, etc) we'd be gutted if he didn't win, as the prize is a trip to New York, attending the Virgin 25 Year Anniversary dinner, and Keith has promised to give up smoking, too.
While this competition is taking place on Facebook, I implore those without accounts to sign up and participate. Details on how to vote can be found on this handy page:
http://www.shiftrunstop.com/skels/bransonalike/
While you can obviously vote for anyone you like, we hope you'll see the resemblance as much as we do, and vote for Keith.
If you do place your vote for Keith, please say so below and I'll be sure to get Keith to thank you personally on Facebook. If you can spread the word a little, that would also be fantastic.
Also, if anyone has an look-a-likes in their family, feel free to post them so we can have our own little vote for the best one.
In memory of all the men and women that fell that day. May they rest in peace, and may their families find strength to get through this day that brings to mind so many painful memories.
God Bless America

Excellent post.
9/11/01 will always remain the worst day of my life for obvious reasons.
In the memory of those people who believed in Peace,
of those people who believed in Love, in Goodness,
in sharing and in shaking hands (or give kisses) to other people.
Those people who were at work, who were joining their family. Who trusted in their countries.
For those people whose life was truncated or changed because of hate and war.
Rest in Peace now.

Was coming out of the building and boom, everything into ashes. I couldnt beleive my eyes.for me i really really wanna see those terrorists begging for death. I want them to feel the pain of each and every human who saw this act. At this moment i am weeping for the dead and praying for peace. May god free this world from those inhumans

About 350 years ago Barcelona was destroyed by the spanish soldiers and Catalonia missed its own Government (it had the 2nd modern Constitution in the world and a kind of democracy layed upon the feudal or totalitary system) to become a province of Castille, which was thought as the total Spain.
So that the Catalan (autonomous) Government restitued in 1979 declared September 11th our National Day, and everybody goes to the streets to demonstrations and festivals.
That day we were at our new home eating (it was the beginning of the afternoon in Europe) and began to play with TV so we could say the first images in the CNN.
That day demonstrations (they use to be reivindicative as lots of things were stolen by the spanish and taxes are expoliating us now or we suffer a kind of "apartheid" - also reivindicative "against" USA because we were abandoned in 1945 when the rest of Europe could recover Democracy and was reconstructed but fascists continued ruling and killing in Spain for 40 years) those demonstrations were not for our country. Everything was silent and people was sad. It was a terrible shock also in our small country. Terrible.
We remembered again our country destroyed and occupied 350 years ago and "the day after" when everybody began to work again, to reconstruct and arrange everything, and this was the message our politicians gave to the US and the message we give now: don't give up working and sharing and loving !
since every sponsors is dropping him, Tiger got my support!
i would do the same if i'm Tiger, when you have all the money in the world, what' the point of living if u dont enjoy life the fullest!
Call me old fashioned, but I believe that when you are with somebody, especially married to somebody, you are to remain faithful.
Although, I don't really see why sponsors are dropping Tiger now, he's more popular now, then ever.

I believe this is often referred to as "commitment" ... which IMHO ranks right up there with "honour", "respect", and "ethics". Although I have no issues with living life the fullest, some actions such as adultery do have consequences which sponsors must keep in mind.
At the time I read this thread, I felt that it simply served to instigate a "flamewar" session amongst fellow XDA members or to encourage comments that could be construed as a personal attack on Tiger Woods behaviour as depicted by the media - and as such closed it. Additionally, I felt the thread communicated a negative message to younger - more impressionable - readers.
As a result of closing the thread however, a fellow XDA member felt that I was being too harsh and that to some degree, my actions communicated an undesireable form of censoring.
As such, I have taken the matter up with Flar. In the interest of not communicating a form of censoring, I have chosen to re-open this thread for others to comment with the caveat that it not deteriorate into a personal attack on Tiger Woods or fellow XDA members.

so, i'm curious how the users of xda think about the charlie hebdo attack of last week?
i think the UN should compile an army force and send them out to the middle east to prevent the terrorist groups
from traveling further and try to prevent groups from attacking innocent and harmless civillians (anywhere in the world)!
i believe the people of Isis and Al-qaeda should be taken out by force! honestly i don't approve of any violence! however in this
case the diplomatic way didn't had any positive result! therefore for the first time i'm saying yes to open fire! obama and other worldleaders should
finally put action to their words! these terroristgroups are an absolute thread to freedom of speech and expression!
so please give youre opinion and you're thoughts about this awful tragedy
(sorry for my broken english) i'm dutch :silly:
my condolances to the victims and family of the fallen!
je suis charlie
And as such the victims will have died in vain. Charlie Hebdo stood for freedom of speech through humour. They abhorred violence.
Murdering others because you don't agree with their ideas, however controversial they may be, makes you no better than those who murder others because they disagree with their ideas.
Murdering innocent people because you're upset over a cartoon is pure cowardice. It's not brave, it doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a pathetic coward.
But answering violence with more violence isn't the answer. That's how this whole mess started in the first place.
The problem here is religion. For as long as history can remeber, people have been slaughtering innocents in the name of some fictitious god. Christianity is no better, or have people forgotten about the crusades?
Cue more butthurt people now painting a target on my head just for saying that. Freedom of speech kids, it works both ways. You get to preach about your god to those who don't want you to, and we get to ridicule it. If we aren't allowed to ridicule it, you're not allowed to preach to us. It's both sides of the blade.
Religious followers being upset because someone drew their fictitious figurehead is as ridiculous as all of us going on a murderous rampage because someone drew the Android robot with a pink hat. But people are so brainwashed from birth that they can't see the sheer idiocracy of what they're doing.
That is what lies at the heart of this. But nobody wants to see it. All the imams have condemned the attack, but not a single muslim is willing to take a good hard look at their religion and see that it needs to change. In the west we have learned to accept (the hard way) that there are others who believe different, and we have learned to share our lives with them. We accept that someone won't pray at dinner, that someone won't thank a god every evening. Now it's time for muslims to make that growth as well.
What none of them realized is that those controversial catroons weren't meant as an insult.
The west learned through Apartheid that a seperate society doesn't work. We adapted.
The French shared their country, their lives and their culture with the muslims who came to live in France. They took them into their schools, their busses, their shops, their homes. They gave them the same rights and liberties as citizens.
Charlie Hebdo welcomed them into their lives by sharing their humour with them.
And as a reward for their acceptance, they were murdered.
And that is unacceptable. It is also why there is now such a backlash. If you come to live in our counties and want to share in our lives and become. A part of our society, you can't cherrypick the parts you want. It's all or nothing. You want the right to practise your religion in our society, then we retain the right to practise our humour.
I have gained a newfound respect for mayor Aboutaleb. That man should be an example to all muslims.

A wonderful humanist once said an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Then I look at history the Christian crusades where many were murdered. Centuries later into the 21st century where Muslims, and I'm not meaning all Muslims, have the spotlight in committing many heartless acts against humanity. The cost of human life..................... the torture ,abuse,deprivation or murder of a human being there is never an excuse for that. I'm assuming these individuals have a built up, or have instilled in them, a hatred for the western way of life and use religion as an excuse to commit atrocities.
Apatheid indeed did not work, several of my friends who are Caucasian have worked in South Africa and it was an unsafe place to be for them.
There will be a balance for both, I'm thinking 2 or 3 lifetimes away. Hope is almost always a positive thing.
I have Muslim friends, some I have known most of my life and they are very different to what I have seen in the media.
I think I have written enough I'm emotionally drained.
Round and round we go
Political threads aren't really something that we allow. To much potential for emotions to get out of hand resulting in flaming of members.
