To Laugh Or Not To Laugh

Ok, so you’re sitting with your mates/members of your family….and they’re saying something mean or rude about someone/something. You know its wrong…but you can’t help but find the comments amusing.

What do you do?

1-Laugh along with them?
2-Hide your smile so that you don’t encourage them?
3-Give them a long lecture?

I’m often in such a situation…my brother and sister are extremely immature (and mean) when they get together. The other day they thought it was funny to make my baby sister cry and capture her crying on the camera phone and then show all her friends.

Fears for Belmarsh Muslim inmates

The chief inspector of prisons has raised concerns about the treatment of Muslim inmates at Belmarsh maximum security jail in London.

Anne Owers says there is evidence of bullying and the prison is struggling to deal with the large proportion of Muslims held on terrorism charges.

She said prison officers did not understand the social and religious behaviour of Muslim inmates.

Interestingly, for some reason the only suitable careers for Asian children is Medicine.. be it pharmacy, dentistry, optician etc…

Why is that?

When I was 16 and choosing my A levels for sixth form, my dad told me to choose the sciences so that I’d be able to do Medicine in University. Since, I was a little child I’ve been going on and on about wanting to be a teacher when I grow up, any other career choice was not even an option…

I have never had any interest in the sciences, nor did I excel at science and I could never stand the sight of blood.. :?
