WE BEGIN WITH A VERY SWEET MAIL FROM A VERY SWEET FAN:

Can I simply say - high five!

...Ms. Caroline - Canada

THEN HERE ARE THE COUPLE MAILS WE RECIEVED FROM/ON MEXICO:

Ditto,

I wish to react to the current missing students situation in my country. This goes so much deeper than any of us can comprehend. The corruption in Mexico is so ingrained into the banking, the government, the police, the drug cartels -- they are all connected. The only way this will go away is if the good citizens of Mexico will rise up and fight to take it back. They won't be able to do it peacefully. It will have to be a civil war. They will have to find weapons as I believe Mexico has strict gun control laws (at least for its law abiding citizens) to keep them helpless. It's really sad.

...Bento - Sinaloa, Mexico

  

Hi,

About Mexico missing people. They want to know where the students are? Ask the 36 police officers they have in jail now, and the 17 gang members they arrested! They know the exact place! They were the ones in charge of their custody!

...Paula

Well, our government made a huge mistake with handing weapons to cartels with the so called Fast and Furious program. Seems we have done that a lot, only to bite us back. Anyways, this program allowed anyone to purchase weapons and ammo without background checks because the weapons were suppose to be tracked in order to catch the main leaders. This was the period when the number of murders and violence began to skyrocket in Mexico. This only came to light because of the Arizona border agent that got killed by drug runner and weapon traced back to gun shop. The bottom line is these kidnappings and murders happen daily. Which no one wants to report out of fear. These murders kill for the heck of it now, they are so drugged and power hungry. This is why Mx isn't concerned with Isis, they witness brutalities daily from cartels and the dead are displayed in such a heinous manner. Just youtube or look at violence in Mx images. All this because people want to get high!

BUT THERE IS SO MUCH TALK ABOUT SPACE TOURISM & VIRGIN GALACTIC:

Hi 360talkatives,

I read your piece on the space thingy and I really do buy your view. Yeah, but I really hope these don't lead to there being more sanctions against it. There are going to be accidents that happen along the way, but in order for humanity to progress these mistakes are going to have to happen so that we can learn from them and improve upon it.

...Call me James and I will smile - The States.

Hi talkatives,

Apart from doing some extraordinary things in space, can we remind ourselves that NASA has contributed to our lives in other ways? NASA inventions: Smoke detectors, cordless tools, ear thermometers, remote controls, etc etc. Space is the future; just as you rightly put it in your submission.

...Caroline Meyers - Texas & New Jersey

  

AND SOME PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THE SPACE THING:

Hy,

This argument about if this is the right thing to be doing at the moment pisses me off to no end. NASA uses such a small fraction of the national budget. And even if it was extraordinarily expensive... I mean...it's f**king outer space. It's worth it.

...Joe, New Mexico

Greetings of the day,

I agree with you on your write up concerning the space program in America. I feel it is a good one, despite the criticism. Especially considering all the commercial technologies and advancements that come out of the space program. Also consider the talent impact it's had in their country. Some of the smartest men I know had just one dream: to move to America and get a job at NASA (I'm from India). NASA is still the benchmark for science and technology in a country like India, even more so than Google or Apple or anyone else. The media here will make it a point to mention "NASA engineer" by name in a news story. These guys probably earned thousands of brilliant brains because of NASA. Many of these ended up creating companies and researching technologies that had billions of dollars of impact. You have got a wonderful point. It has been a huge talent draw, and that talent doesn't always remain contained at NASA.

...Ali, Punjab, India

WHILE OTHERS DON'T:

Hey,

Call me pessimistic all you want but, I don't see why they waste money on such rubbish rather than fixing the economy. These f*****s grew up in the space race, saw the moonlanding but then crippled our economy. They should f**k off!

...Marcos - Illinois

Hi,

For all the love-in on 'willing to spend next Christmas in space' can I say that until I've seen Mr. Branson and his family travel out into space with his 'toy' space shuttles, and only a zillion times even; can I say I am comfortable with being convinced to pay to be driven to space. Right now, it is a non-jihadist suicide mission. Have a nice month ahead, you lot.

...The Crucifix - United States

I think there's a thing people who argue against space programs forget. Even if they ignore the ridiculously tiny portion of the federal budget they work with, or the fact that they advance science every day, NASA has created a crap ton of stuff we now use our daily routines as a result of the necessities of space or research done in the process.

...I am No Name - Belarus

AND THEN A FAN ANGRY WITH US: 

Please can you look at the NTSB statement or the report from abc. There was an uncommanded activation. Nobody said the copilot commanded the activation. How irresponsible can you be to blame the pilot in this manner. !!! Please respect other people for crying out loud!!!

...Sarah - U.S.A

·   Hi Sarah, we have not blamed the pilot(s). We only said that the first reports published has placed the first blame on the pilots. It is the reports not us.

A MOTHER WHO NEEDS YOUR HELP:

Good day everybody,

I felt this platform was good enough to make this request, so I am sending this mail for people to help me. I have a son who is a deep cultist. I have done everything possible to get him to denounce his group and friends but he does not listen to me. Last Thursday, he was involved in crime and is currently being pursued by the police. He visited home on Sunday and thinking I was aware of the crime, threatened to kill me if I told the police about his whereabouts. I am feeling very frightened but the love I have for him as a son does not allow me imagine him spending the rest of his life in prison. Please can someone advice me on what to do? It appears every passing day brings either my death or his death close. I am desperate!

...Bucky, Niger State, Nigeria

MAILS ON THE ANSWER TO LAST SUNDAY'S HAZARD VS SANCHEZ QUESTION:

Eden Hazard or Alexis Sanchez? I think the guy who sent this question is nuts anyway. If you watch football, you'd know they cannot be compared since they are not of same positions.

...Chukwuka - Ebonyi

Hi,

Both players are in the running for best player in the Premier League and are both having brilliant seasons so far. Both have similar playstyles, running at defences with speed, poise and purpose and both players have a great eye for a pass. While Sanchez is doing far better statistically with 7 goals and 3 assists to Hazard's 4 goals and 2 assists I believe there is not much separating these two players at all.

...Paul - Delta

Hazard is the better player, however at the moment he is not the center of Chelsea's offense, if you watch Chelsea game you would see even though he only assisted twice and scored 4, he has been involved in most of Chelsea's goals this season, sometimes even assisting the assister. However, Sanchez is good but I guess we all can agree he is the only good thing offensively for arsenal thus he starts and finishes pretty much every attack for arsenal and therefore better stats at the moment.

...Mark - Finland

You can compare stats more in-depth on squawka, although IMO they aren't going to tell you the whole story. Personally I think Hazard is better, to answer your question.

...Gin - Spain

One point: Hazard takes on defenders which opens up space for Costa / others.

...John Terry - UK

Hy,

I think hazard is better. I think pointing to stats is a bit awkward as Sanchez is basically the only good point for Arsenal right now whereas Hazard is playing on one of the best teams in Europe. Hazard doesn't need to force the game as much. That said, maybe needs to improve his goal scoring a bit. He should have scored against United last time, even if they did off the corner.
