Such suggestions rightly concern fair minded people, but remarkably, no evidence of any kind has been presented to suggest that false allegations are being made or that the rights of those accused are being abused." He said that THREE MONTHS after a woman called Nora Wall was awarded a Cerificate of Miscarriage of Justice by the Irish Court of Criminal Appeal because she had been falsely convicted of raping a child. In 2006 Colm O'Gorman was head of "One in Four" a child abuse victim's group. The fact that he had "forgotten" about the Nora Wall case is probably linked to the fact that she had been a Sister of Mercy i.e. a Catholic nun. http://www.alliancesupport.org/news/archives/001858.html However AI didn't let that little oversight bother them. In February 2008, Colm was appointed Executive Director of Amnesty International Ireland. The guy who is currently CEO of Amnesty International in Ireland stated in March 2006 that:

But in reality he has goals that go way way beyond water. Why don't they ever tell the whole story about these people they put up on pedestals?

A friend who went to the US for a vacation said all the rivers/lakes/waterfalls they went to were dried up, but I haven't ever seen anything mentioned on the American channels (Fox and CNN.....and Nickulodion) and that friend said there was nothing on TV in America. As a fan of the annoying kid who screams: "Beynatayim sogrim et hamayim!" (Meanwhile, close the water!), I find it odd.

This saving is likely to rise in the near future as the cost of every cube of water used above the 4 cubes per person per month allocation at the lower rate, has recently been raised from 7.8 shekels to 28 shekels. At present some 75% of domestic water consumption falls within the allocated amount, with 25% being paid for at the higher rate, but this latest drastic price rise is designed to reduce consumption further.

The blog has one comment:

You might have a good view on them because of the sect you have approached. It’s good for an activist to condemn evil and to also commend good works.

Very odd indeed.

My question is: which one of these two is worse, and how do you distinguish between the two. All I know so far is that both seem to give Whites a bad name.
