Dutch offered 'euthanasia on wheels'

Euthanasia has been legal in the Netherlands for a decade. But an organisation based in The Hague is now offering a mobile euthanasia service, prompting accusations that the law has been pushed too far.

I think that is really weird to offer 'euthanasia on wheels'... I mean, if someone wants to kill himself, is better to go to a special place to do it, completely equipped, where the death's can be totally controlled,... I'm not against the suicide, but I think is a waste of money to provide this "service" to the community... There are things that are more necessary than this.
I'm not against the suicide, but I think that it's better to fight against the problems and go on the search of the happiness. This new doesn't affect me, because I don't live there.

Thousands protest against European Union austerity cuts

Thousands of demonstrators have turned out in European cities to protest against austerity measures.
In Spain, thousands of schoolchildren and university students left the classroom and took to the streets to protest against education spending cuts, which in some instances turned violent.

I don't know if this kind of measures are necessary or not, but I'm pretty sure that there are other solutions. I don't know why we get to this awful situation. The only I can say is that manifestating it's OK (because is a constitutional right, and it mustn't be aggresive (otherwise I think that's unuseful, because the government can simply look to other side)), but destroy the city it's too much...
This affects me because I'm a student and the education cuts aren't going to help me...

Sarkozy hides in bar amid protest

Hundreds of angry protesters have booed French President Nicolas Sarkozy, forcing him to take shelter in a bar as he campaigned in the Basque country ahead of April's presidential election.

I think that there are other ways to protest than get angry and trying to hurt a president. Yeah, it's true that the situation is really bad and everyone is getting nervous, but this isn't gonna help to solve the problems. And if everyone wants to quit him from his role, sorry, but he was elected by votations, so... I don't want to offend anyone, but maybe it would be better to think twice before voting someone.
It doesn't affect me because he's not "my president" and I don't mind about his security, because he has enough guards to mantain him safe.
