POPSRoyal Marine awarded George Cross What is remarkable about this tale is that it is only a George Cross. despite having taken the blast, refusing evacuation, he went onto confront the Taliban and killed his enemy in a subsequent action. What people do not realise about the Royal Marines is that they do not expect to get reward. Fair payment and a covenant to took after them in ill-health and old age is all a Royal asks for. But who cares? Well done, Royal.

POPSGive Me A Fracking Break! Good Grief, Don't the Naples, Florida Police have better things to do than arrest a man for taking 46 cents from a wishing well? And for the silly Naples' Mall Shopper who snitched to police to go after this notorious penny thief. How Low Can You Stoop? Maybe, next time they'll give you a Big Fat 5 cent reward. :mad:

POPSProcrastination--Carey Tennis Why does procrastination--inaction--take over? Maybe what he says here about rebelling against our past of being force to do things we don't want to do. But in the end, jumping through the hoops does have a reward we may actually want.

POPSShop or Drop? does it have physical correlates? some technicals citation from the article: "Researchers discovered that when the product first flashed on the screen it activated the nucleus accumbens, a section near the middle of the brain that has been implicated in the brain's reward center, effectively appraising the item. When the price appeared, the scientists noticed activity in the mesial prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain known for higher executive functions. Its activity seemed to vary according to the difference between what someone would pay for an item and its actual cost, as if in error adjustment. Finally, the response of the insula (a lateral section of the brain's cortex known to activate during responses to negative stimuli) depended on the purchasing decision--activity there increased when a participant nixed a purchase." what is interesting here is our human crave to understand more and more...

POPSGore Less Welcome When Gas Costs 4 Bucks Some lawmakers warn that Americans are angry about gas prices and don’t necessarily want to be reminded about the economic sacrifices that may be necessary to reduce the nation’s oil consumption. “People’s anger about a lot of things is crystallized as a result of the gas prices,” said Lautenberg. “The anger is focused by the visibility at the pump.” Lautenberg warned that Americans aren’t eager to hear about the need for more financial sacrifices if there’s not a possible reward in the not-too-distant future. “If it looks like it’s just a continuation of an attack of our economy and family budgets, then its starts getting dispiriting,” he said of innovative yet expensive energy proposals.

POPSWoman beats boyfriend with toilet seat for smoking crack The girlfriend tried to take the crack from her boyfriend when she found him in the bathroom of their home smoking crack. After she wouldn't give him the drugs, she grabbed the toilet seat and started hitting him with it. The couple's 8 month old was sleeping in the bedroom while the mother beat his dad silly for doing drugs! The girlfriend was charged (along with her boyfriend) with domestic battery and cocaine possession but she should get a reward! Good for her. He needs to stand up and be responsible now that he is a father. And if he doesn't, then his girlfriend should be able to beat the crap out of him until he gets the message!

POPSMotorist told flag could be racist I try to treat these subjects seriously. On behalf of all Englishmen, to the policeman who stopped this young man, to the politicians who will do nothing except add on to their expenses, to all those who cannot do anything without need for reward, go boil yer heads. It's instances like this that make me want to vote BNP. Can you imagine the Canadians, Yanks or Russians taking this nonsense?

POPSThe Faces Of Injustice "Shklar denies that felt acts of injustice can ever be entirely eliminated. Still, because the line between misfortune and injustice is so vague, we must always allow for the expression of felt injustices on the part of those who think they have been victimized and democracy, in contrast to other regimes, not only allows for such expressions but thrives on them. For only if we voice our sense of injustice can we keep politicians honest and ourselves actively involved in our own rule." It's difficult being a voice for social change especially at a time when this country; the country I love, is so divided, but it's my particular freedom from bondage and the shackles of what we are supposed to believe to be free.

POPSMoney makes the heart grow less fond... but more hardworking Specifically, those participants who were exposed to money spent less time helping a person who needed it, sat farther away from another person and preferred solitary activities. In addition, they showed preferences for working alone and asked for help less frequently. On the other hand, participants also revealed an increased desire to take on more work and showed greater persistence in difficult tasks. Very interesting. I wonder if there is a way to disturb this relationship, or more to the point, an easy way to do so. Additionally, what would be the impact of doing so?

POPSJust watch the whitewash splash Once again Mr Keith Vaz is in front of the media with serious questions to be asked of his probity. Perhaps, this time, the Parliamentary disciplinary panels will be more robust in demanding answers from this honourable lawyer? The last time these two clashed, Mr Vaz walked away with impeccable credentials by simply doing what his government denies every person in the country except Politicians, and that was to remain silent. doubt it. This Government cannot see it's own failings.
