I've been following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and it's just so sad. So many people have died, I read this morning that the deaths could reach 200 and that gunmen are still holed up in the Taj Mahal. It was such an extensive and organised attack that it's worrying to think about. I was hoping to travel to India over the next year or so, I'm a bit worried about it now though. It really makes you wonder what is going to happen next. If it is so organized that means that this may just be the start. Really scary what this world is coming to, so violent. And it is sad for everyone out there who would like to travel, like you Dom, and are to afraid to. And for these countries too, because India is now going to suffer for what these people are doing. Tourists aren't going to come because they are afraid and not everone in India is like these gunman. It is really sad though, what's going to happen next?

I was watching something about the attacks in Mumbai yesterday on CNN. One of CNN's own reporters was actually in a cafe where the attackers were gunning down Westerners. I am very sad that the world has come to be so scary and violent. I know it sounds so cliche, but why can't we all just get along?! Is it really that hard?!

I heard about that too, it's really scaring how organized the attack was...or it just seems so organized, I don't know, it's scaring anyway. If that sounds cliche, I'm going to sound cliche too: wouldn't it be much easier if we all get along??

It would be much easier, I think. I don't see why people have to make such simple things so hard.

Yeah, Sad I hope his kids are okay Part of me can't help but think they're better off without him - they now have a shot at leading a normal life... besides, there's no way he was the biological father, the kids are white as snow!

Yahoo informed me about a 16 year old girl who doesn´t get older (or at least only in parts). Where would I be without a web based mail account?!

Yeah, lots of them are dying.
What's already old in the news is all of that Michael Jackson stuff. Yes, he was important. It's going to end up worse than all of the Anna Nicole Smith stuff. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but there are more important things in the world
