violence in the world today?

What is going on at the moment? As if we don't have enough natural disaster's n deaths to deal with. The real IRA seem to want to try and restart the troubles in Ireland, killing soldiers and innocent civilians (the pizza guy's are targets as they delivered food to the soldier's!). Even Gerry Adams has disowned them, not wanting any part in renewed violence. Now we have two deaths in France. Plus all the riots around the G20 and NATO summit's. How do these people live and survive? Or are they on benefits, which if they are should be removed and given to more deserving people, those that actually want to get a proper job, work and pay taxes to support their country!

51 chillies - does it help to be crazy?

What on earth could possess someone to want to eat FIFTY ONE Chillies in two minutes, just to be in the Guiness Book of Records? I mean, you must be mad? And very thirsty at the end of it? Because that is what an Indian woman has done!! Beg's the question. Where do you draw the line, when does the desire to become a celebrity, to become a record holder and by default slightly famous, actually become insanity, if not sheer stupidity? If the record now stands at 51, how long before someone else tries to beat this, make it 52, 53.... and want risk to that person's health will this create? Me, I would rather not be famous, and slightly sane, in my own little world
