international / history and heritage / news report Sunday October 22, 2006 22:12 by liszt
It is very curious that most of the key momentous changes of European History & thus the events we note as watersheds of our social development - were spontanous & un-planned or even the results of "accidents". 50 years ago today young people took to the streets of Hungary & kicked off a popular revolution. No-one really knew what they wanted & no-one really remembers if they had leaders & what their names were. It proved to be the event which confirmed that the Warsaw Pact states of Europe would have to follow the stalinist isolationist path laid out just a few years before in the former East German state & sectored Berlin. It is odd how the Hungarian revolution began, as odd as how the Berlin wall came down (the result of a mistakenly read statement at a press conference). The brutality shown them was the same brutality that kept half of our continent in bonds till only recently. read full story / add a comment

The Killer in his press release is this Quote: 'Many of the legal principles and values have become the cornerstones of our law and are almost sacrosant in how we perceive and interact with them. Those same principles have originated and developed from a different era when many defendants could not read or write and it was necessary for the legal system to devise means and ways(!) to ensure that safeguards were available'. http://www.justice.ie read full story / add a comment

As the premier event of NUI Galway's Muslim Youth Society, a One Day National Fast for charity was held on the streets of Galway last Wednesday and for good measure, yesterday, on campus,the Galway University students and staff were milked for more human kindness in the shape of serious coin and in Martin Sheen's case, a serious note. This sweet arsed dude impressed us all with his easy affability and kindness, instead of prima donna, noli me tangere histrionics 'n bollocks, when we requested him to hold the bucket for a few shots, we were graced with sweet vibes, generosity and willingness instead. read full story / add a comment
