It's all good. Understanding each other has to be good, shirley.

Why assume? For example, the media and press in the UAE is controlled by your government through Federal Law15. You are surely not suggesting your government have got it worng? In other countries regulation of the media varies - many Western countries conduct self censorship with varying results. Media don't always publish rubbish BM. They also report news as it happens eg 9/11, Tsunami etc. Your point is more about about the integrity of the reporter, balance of the reporting, objectivity of the editor and the level of influence the title owners have.

MHO is the report the thread title refers to is not the best and is likely not totally accurate, but it still reports something that happened, ugly and funny as it is.

I agree - the internet is a revolution and will change the world. I can understand why the UAE (and some other countries) blocks certain sites because it will change the way the youth see the world and turn them away from their insecure beliefs towards a more secure and open society and culture.

But it does seem like they want to use our technology to take the nice parts of our culture like freedom of speech when criticising aspects of our society or behaviour but don't want us to do the same thing with theirs because it's "offensive"...it's imbalanced really.

It is self evident that consuming anything in great amounts is bad for you. I would challenge you to find studies suggesting light to moderate alcohol consumption is harmful (and the majority of drinkers drink moderately - otherwise the world would be full of drunks and no work would ever be done!)

"There is considerable evidence that moderate alcohol consumption helps to protect against cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance, but its effect on the liver remains controversial. A study by a joint US and Japanese team now suggests that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption has a protective effect on liver function."

Moderate consumption helps women: http://www.medpagetoday.com/Hematolo...pfc=101&spc=23

And helps men too: http://doctor.medscape.com/viewarticle/538666

"Moderate drinkers tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers. In addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, moderate consumers of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine or distilled spirits or liquor) are generally less likely to suffer hypertension or high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease, Alzheimer's disease and the common cold."

There is a reason why the average lifespan is higher in Europe and Japan than in most Muslim countries my friend...moderate drinking and better health care

Peace.

If you don't like it don't read it old chap...


...and yes I do fancy a pint!

light to moderate drinking would be no more than 1-3 pints of an average strength beer, a couple of glasses of wine or one or two shots of a spirit for the average man...perhaps slightly less for the average woman. Some people can drink much more before being affect...like with caffine or nicotine alcohol affects everyone differently.

Overall very few people would get even slightly tipsy on one pint of beer...although some peoples cannot process alcohol in their body and so even a sip would be enough to affect - such people are rare and mostly from certain asian or native american populations where that genetic defect is present.

Pepsi is evil stuff!....did you know it can clean chrome better than industrial cleaning chemicals??

I have raised my boy on juice, milk and water for drinks...he has very clear skin and a good attention span...and he rarely steals my beer
