noni, we canadians are equally stupid to allow criminals and even convicted murderers/paedophiles (let out early) to walk the streets and live in our neighborhoods. as i said earlier enough political correctness - it is the worse form of dishonesty to everyone specially our selves !

If you read the link you will see that it was the European Court of Human Rights, Strasbourg which gave the final ruling on the Somali criminals not the English court. Many have said that the Convention needs updating.

[QUOTE=Bipat;9464220]Bipat, please re-read the article, we are not talking hundreds, but thousands;

To re-introduce the excuse of "corrective surgery " does you no credit. For goodness sake look at the figures. All involved, plus innocent bystanders have no doubt that the reason for this disgraceful activity is the obsession with "boy-child".

These butchers would graft on a plasticine willy if they thought it would get them the dowry they crave. Absolute bl**dy savages and scum......

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

[QUOTE=johnny five;9465877]I was quoting a figure given in the Daily Telegraph. Less likely to exaggerate than the Mail. As I said the report needs to be investigated, to see if there is any truth in it.
Corrective surgery is done in the UK by the 10s so obviously would be in
100s India if this is what they are describing. (This does not concern altering the sex of the child, the child is actually male but with apparently female genitalia). This is what thw surgeons are describing in the article.
Realistically it is not possible to turn a normal girl child into a boy. Are they removing the ovaries and uterus? Mutilation and 'grafting on' as you describe would be obvious. The child would still have female chromesomes.
However this report is being investigated to find out if girls are being operated on in some way and if found to be true as you say horrendous.

Goa water unsafe for bathing and fishing

30 Jun: MidDay. Marine scientists have said the waters off Goa’s coast contain alarmingly high levels of coliform bacteria caused by the release of untreated sewage… Seawaters along the Indian coasts are classified as fit for commercial fishing, contact recreation and bathing activities when the faecal coliform (FC) count is less than 100 CFU/100 ml. But levels as high as 190 CFU/100 ml were found in certain locations of Goa waters

What a surprise!:thumbdown:

Scarlett Keeling movie could run into trouble
1 Jul: Herald. Ukranian model Nataliya Kozhenova, tried pushing back the sands of time to relive (and die) the times of British teenager Scarlett Keeling, in a movie named Anjuna Beach, after the location which Scarlett partied and perished … The movie was shot in spite of the State government not giving any permission for the shooting… Deceased Scarlett's mother, Fiona Mackeown, who launched a sustained campaign in Goa to bring justice to her daughter, would want to see the movie, but she appeared distant and even disinterested

I am glad I never swim in the sea when in Goa!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

The report states 'certain locations of Goa waters' has anyone found out which are these particular areas?
Personally I would rather take my chance in the sea than in the average swimming pool but that is not based on any scientific evidence.
I suppose the answer is don't swallow the water and have a shower after!!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I don't know about North Goa but I certainly haven't seen any evidence of sewage in the south. The only sewage I've ever seen in the sea is in Blackpool and North Wales!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Hi Hedigirl.

We were in the Colva and Benaulim area for three years, and as you say no signs of sewage in the sea, apart from a few plastic bottles and the Oil Balls. Swam in the sea most days, in the monsoon as well. But there was a lot of garbage at the back of the beach around Marjorda area.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Our swimming pool is well looked after and regularly tested, chemicals are put in each night to kill of any organisms and most people do use the shower before getting in the pool. I have never been able to swim without getting some water in my ears or mouth even if I do not swallow the water. Most if not all the beach shacks provide a flush toilet but where is it flushing to? Probably a hole in the ground with some kind of soak away with the liquid waste at least ending up in the sea. I would not swim in the sea around Briton either although some beaches are now certified as clean enough to swim from.
