I know the news is unfolding the real story behind it and the eye witness reports and twitter has swung into action, but if there is even a small bit of truth in some of the reports I'm so sad for the relatives of the victim :(

As a lot of you may know I am currently sitting my GCSE's at the moment, so far gotten Biology and French out of the way. I've been suffering from bad anxiety for a few weeks now, not too bad, I've almost had three panic attacks but have managed to control it at the last moment but the issue is it's always there and at the moment I'm having trouble sleeping, and I have no appetite at all.

I know I'm not the only one in this boat, some of you here probably get it much worse than I do, I've been reading up on it a lot and I am starting to learn how to deal with the symptoms of it because feeling sick is one of my most hated things in life so it really affects my concentration in class and stuff. So I was wondering for those of you who get it, how do you deal with it? Any particular things you do to help relax or calm yourself?

Thanks :) ]]> Serious Discussion Jacksb4 http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php/127371-Dealing-with-anxiety IVF Entitlement http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php/127369-IVF-Entitlement?goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 13:12:22 GMT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-22538518 Now I am not against the idea of IVF on the whole, but I do sometimes wonder if... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-22538518

Now I am not against the idea of IVF on the whole, but I do sometimes wonder if we 'do too much' with medicine (like prolonging life).

This article grabbed my attention with the 'rules' on eligibility for smokers and drug users. Should we just perma ban drug users? We are over populated, so why help people have children that are probably going to raise more drug users?

What about smokers? It's more than likely their own fault that they haven't managed to get pregnant. ]]> Serious Discussion j07cmt http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php/127369-IVF-Entitlement Own an Intel CPU?

In response his facebook page has been barraged with abusive comments, with some posters referring to his 'physical state' and the usual cries of antisemitism.

In the meantime Israel has responded with this:

Quote:
Hawking, 71, has suffered from motor neurone disease for the past 50 years, and relies on a computer-based system to communicate.

According to Shurat HaDin, an Israel law centre which represents victims of terrorism, the equipment has been provided by the hi-tech firm, Intel, since 1997.

"Hawking's decision to join the boycott of Israel is quite hypocritical for an individual who prides himself on his whole intellectual accomplishment. His whole computer-based communications system runs on a chip designed by Israel's Intel team. I suggest if he truly wants to pull out of Israel he should also pull out his Intel Core i7 from his tablet," said Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin.
Putting aside the disgusting comments made on his facebook page; the surprising element is that your expected to owe your allegiance to a country if they created the 'engine' for your car..... :surprised:

"The low-level misdemeanours with which Stuart Hall was charged are nothing like serious crime," she writes, adding: "Ordinarily, Hall’s misdemeanours would not be prosecuted, and certainly not decades after the event."
Stuart Hall, a former presenter of 'It's A Knockout', last week admitted 14 offences involving 13 victims dating back to the late 1960s, including an assault on a nine-year-old girl.
So a top Human Rights barrister wants to age of consent lowering to 13 in light of the over-60s sex assault ring.

In all honesty, i'm disgusted. ]]> Serious Discussion Terbinator http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php/127261-The-Saville-Inquisition Drug Consumption Rooms http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php/127033-Drug-Consumption-Rooms?goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 08:38:16 GMT Your opinion?

I want to be in the middle on it but can't help but feel anger at the thought. I understand it should stop drug addicts taking drugs in public places but can it really be more helpful?
