Meat Attack

A 53-year-old woman was arrested for hitting a man repeatedly with a raw steak because he reject the slice of bread she offered. Instead he wanted a bread roll. After refusing medical assistance he claimed she was his live-in girlfriend. She was charged with abuse of a disabled man and was released with a $2500 bond. What is this world coming too? Is there any decency left?

Obama's Sending Troops to Afghanistan by the Thousands

More than 21,000 already.According to MSNBC.com, President Obama's plan is to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat” the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan. Because it's not like our country is in debt or anything. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect our country. On our own soil. But going to other countries and meddling is a little extreme. That's why many people voted for Obama in the first place; they thought he would pull troops out of Iraq.
What concerned me was that the article failed to explain or specify what the troops are really doing there.
Is sending troops to Afghanistan a good idea? How will it benefit us and what sacrifices are being made in the process?


Here is another article that is a more recent update.

World Cup Games To Be Filmed In 3D

Up to 25 games will be captured using 3D cameras, although this is not completely confirmed yet, FIFA said that this will be decided in the coming months.

I think this is pretty cool, specially for the soccer fans, that will be able to feel the emotion of the game closer.
