Azaan Akbar commented on Nusiba Taufik's blog post 'What do you want to do before you die?'
Preferably, I'd like to meet a genie who will grant me one wish. If he/she refuses me eternal life, I'll ask him/her to let me live until West Ham win the Premiership, which should satsify a similar ruse. I'd like to make the whole…

Azaan Akbar replied to Rebecca Meredith's discussion 'SHOULD THERE BE COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?'
Yeah, David Cameron relates to his experiences in ETON. Well done, Davey, another great idea based on your life that can relate to the British public. Community service is highly under/over defined - I'm in my school council and we do work in…

Azaan Akbar commented on Paige Patrick's blog post '10 quick ways to help prevent Global Warming.'
I think personally, it's a matter of restricting trade and placing tighter embargos. If you look at the amount of waste and energy that goes into the disposal of numerous products, they take a lot of energy, therefore polluting more. As a…

Azaan Akbar commented on Paige Patrick's blog post '10 quick ways to help prevent Global Warming.'
Haha, fair do's. I'll leave it there, and not convolute this argument. On a serious note however, your guide seems good, but it's a matter of it being implemented. How possible is it to ensure people would follow these, and how easy…

Azaan Akbar commented on Paige Patrick's blog post '10 quick ways to help prevent Global Warming.'
Yeah, but we're all gonna die eventually. We can't run away from it. Then surely, if we're all going to die ANYWAY, saving my future family or myself's future would be futile. In effect, all you're asking us to do is to save…

So what if my grandchildren never see a polar bear? I never saw a dinosaur. As a result, I won't participate in 'preserving' the world. (I'm just joking btw, I want to see how you'd respond to my pessimism.)

Azaan Akbar commented on Sienna Somers's blog post 'World Cup in south Africa. The Refs maybe fair but what about the government?'
It's interesting you say that - I have a South African teacher who said he doesn't look forward to the World Cup, particularly because it took down a whole school simply for a two-monthly event. An infrastructure that will be used for…

Azaan Akbar commented on Denise Donnelly's blog post 'The Catholic Church: Scandal and Retribution?'
A highly interesting blog with some controversial themes. Being a Muslim teenager, I too, feel as though in some aspects, I must distance myself from my own religion. But also, it is often a case of understanding truly whether the concept is…

Azaan Akbar commented on Levi Alexandra Holt's blog post 'Should underage&pregnant girls be given 'special treatment.''
I'm just gonna blurt it out and be direct as possible. I have NO sympathy for teenage 'mums' whatsoever, they shouldn't even have responsibility of the child - it would probably cost less to look after these children…

Most certainly is - can you do me a favour and repost the link to the group? I seem to have lost it... =s

Azaan Akbar replied to Eve1994's discussion 'CHARISMA'S PLACE IN POLITICS?'
Actually, I would argue that we could use a bit more charisma in politics today. Now, I definitely agree that it doesn't matter if you haven't got charisma but you're doing your job ok, but SURELY, in a state where practically…

Azaan Akbar commented on Immie Godwin's blog post 'Disability awareness should be taught in uk schools'
Any reported case of disability discrimination is treated with exclusion. Also, I consider myself to know most of my peers pretty well, and none would or have bullied the disabled. Sorry, ''disabled''.

I mean, in my school - a Barking and Dagenham comprehensive - disability awareness is high, we have a Special Education Needs department, highly developed and equipped with the correct and neccesary tools for teaching those with disability. And in…

The Cadbury Takeover - A Disgrace!

Kraft - a company founded in 1903.

Cadbury - a company found in 1874.



A difference of...um....wait... (1903 - 1874 =.....)



A difference of 29 years! Not even my whole lifetime, and about half my mum's! Now, sure big companies can take over little companies all the time, but with a company like Cadbury that holds such prestige and popularity in Britain, it's irrelevant if it is a global company or not, it gives something for Britain to be proud of. Perhaps we never… Continue
