    People are, and always will be a pack of b*****ds

    for each of these 26 there are probably 1000 where someone got screwed over

    True. Most people read and went to work to listen to the vast majority of people they'll deal with complain about something. They very quickly be brought back down to earth

    Maybe so, but you see those type of things all the time. It's nice to have the good things highlighted sometimes too.

    Welled up at my desk reading that.

    Also, I'm starting to wonder if the Westboro Baptist Church's actual motivation is uniting the rest of us against them?

    The way I see it is, Its far more satisfying to help someone yourself than to read about someone else doing it.

    The human chain/child holding a poster beside them were 2 of the 26 things to "restore faith". Both involving the Church.

    I felt really happy reading that. Then I read this:

    Now I has a sad. Shouldn't you be off pulling the wings off fairies or otherwise crushing our dreams? :(

    Still love that Brian O'Driscoll photo, you can see the genuine joy on both their faces :)

    How is that relevant ?


    No 24 undoes the other 25. The mere though of screaming twins on a plane ....gimmicks or no gimmicks.....:mad:

    If someone gave you ice-cream, you'd complain it's too cold.

    they say more good stuff than bad stuff happens in the world. Just the media only report the neagtive. Negativity currently sells. Maybe we're living in a nicer place than we thought.

    I hope so I really do, people are so cynical when they hear good news because we are fed the negative so much. I despair sometimes about people and how extremist and divisive the world seems to have become in many manys ways, So stories like these are important as a reminder. I adore the Ice Cream Van costume, great parents!

    I enjoyed that. The human chain was awesome. Also anything to do with rescuing animals.
