UAE teenage boys talk
So we sat and listened to UAE teenage boys, 6 to be exact, talk about their take on life in the UAE.
WOW!
Culture, marriage, work, issues they had opinions and were brave to share them with the nation!
If you missed the show you can get a taste of what we talked about in the lastest post to the JAMESCAST! Give it a listen.
The end message from these young men?
A passionate love for their country!
I for one believe we need to listen a little more closely to the teens of this an any nation they have a lot to offer that is going under noticed!

DRAGONS
Last night we had a chat with Debi Evans and John MacPherson about their book, "the secret society of dragon protectors"!
What a read.
And full of economy of words but not thought at 200 pages!
Want to contact them? Check out the website.
Jamescast has a piece of our conversation last night, and it is worth a listen if I do say so myself.
We also talked about the top 10 things 10 and unders think are the best things in the world!
#1 being a clelebrity!
Imagine...
children and mobile phones
So when do we allow our children to use mobile phones?
Has technology made the phone like clothing, a must?
The general feeling of the callers was that the mobile is a part of our life and it is up to the parent to educate the child about how to use it properly!
False sense of security?
The way it is going?
Another distraction?
They are out there and we have to deal with them! id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">pan>BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">

film
Fact or fiction should we be at all concerned about what we see represented on film and TV?
Who has the responsibility to police film content?
Or is it simply a case of not watching that that you find offensive!
This was what took up our time Wednesday on Nightline.

WFP

The worlds largest humanitarion organization!
Funded by donations from government, institutions and you and I!
48 hours is their goal on getting to a location that needs food aid! 48 hours!
And only 7% of their resources are used for overhead. WOW.
There is no argueing the fact that we need to act, how and with whom is up to you... but do something!
We ended with a brief talk about the role of the celebrity in bringing attention to issues!
Sharon Stone "to be famous and do nothing is vulger!"
What else can we say?

lost art of writing a letter.
Have we lost the art?
Or has technology just made the art new again?
There is something to be said for holding that paper in your hand and knowing it was touched by another person.

Check out the above site it has some interesting content.
In short life is too short to say we are too busy!

There are a lot of HUMANITARIAN groups out there today asking for your help.
Take a second to look at MSF.
I think what they do is moving.
Listen to a podcast.
Look at the images.
Now do something.

apology or not?
Last night we started with this idea.
Should Britain apologise for its role in the slave trade?
Tony Blair has expressed his "deep sorrow" at Britain's role in the slave trade but stopped short of offering a full apology, despite pressure from some black campaigners and community leaders.
The Prime Minister's condemnation, delivered in the run-up to the bicentenary of Britain's decision to abolish slavery, has reignited debate over judging history by modern moral standards.
Earlier this year, the Government announced that First World War soldiers shot for "cowardice" would be officially pardoned.
Do you think Britain should apologise for its role in the slave trade? Is it useful or futile to apply contemporary ethics to historical events?
If you agree that Britain should seek to make amends for the iniquities of the past, how far back should we look?
Some said yes any apology is a start.
The issue?
What you do once you say sorry!
