That Zidane headbutt
HEARTHEAD applauds French
soccer player Zinedane Zidane for choosing to defend the honour of
his family after being provoked by Italy's Marco Materazzi.
Hearthead writes: "Who
will restore Zidane's family honour if he doesn't take things into
his own hands?"
Deepb agrees, "Z deserves
our understanding as he was a victim of the Italian's unsporting
trick. I am likely to have done the same thing."
But Singforever thinks
that Zidane disgraced his family by choosing to act so brashly,
saying: "It's utter stupidity and recklessness... He let himself
down. He also let his family down."

NKF fallout
PUBLIC confidence in charities has been shaken by the National
Kidney Foundation (NKF) scandal last year.
A survey commissioned by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy
Centre showed that the proportion of people who gave to charitable
causes last year fell to 89 per cent, from 97 per cent in the same
survey in 2004.
Mailtorichard writes:
"Well, I haven't donated any money to charity ever since the NKF
saga...the truth is that I've become very disillusioned with
charities."
But Tequila-powered feels
that other charities should not be tarred with the same brush. He
says: "I am still donating to another charity."
