People died, people got shot, it was serious. I knew what to expect, I knew where I could go and where I couldn't go.

Robert Herbert

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

Peter Ustinov

This report is a serious wake-up call to the nation. If the emergency medical system gets a C- on an average day, how can it ever be expected to provide expert, efficient care during a natural disaster or terrorist attack?

Angela Gardner

It is putting up some serious barriers to the poor.

Richard Doran

They have been doing some serious negotiating all night, I think they only had a few-hour break in the wee hours of the morning.

Wade Blaufuss

It was good to have Kelley's out there because it gave everybody a peace of mind that if something serious did happen there was someone there to help. It especially put my mind at ease knowing that we could fix someone up quickly and on the spot if we needed to.

Bobby Hadley

They have some serious weapons. We're going to have our hands full on Sunday.

Al Harris

There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them.

Werner Karl Heisenberg

Both symbolically and also because of the job he did, ... No one person is ever at fault. I don't mean to imply that. But symbolically, it was necessary. FEMA in general has serious improving to do.

Patrick Quinn

But I remember in college when I sprained my MCL a couple of times, but it was never anything serious. It's going to be fine.

Albert Haynesworth

The current sleaze scandal is potentially very, very damaging indeed for the government, because the real serious allegations are not now about individual MPs [members of Parliament] -- they're about the conduct of the government...

Rodney Barker

We are holding the meeting to quell parents' fears. We are working very quickly to identify those people we feel had the most serious risk of exposure so we can get them tested immediately.

Margi Nanney

I like to exhilarate the audience like Groucho Marx exhilarated me when I was a kid. Also, I enjoy doing the more serious parts of the show, like playing him as an older man, because when I was a kid he was an older man.

Frank Ferrante

We have expressed serious concerns. Heroin addicts are incredibly vulnerable people and we are worried they could be exploited.

Harry Shapiro

It would seem that a significant proportion of the population has become extremely frustrated with the political process and with the system of multi-party democracy that Sao Tome has. And they no longer have any confidence in the major parties, but are faced with little other choice about who to vote for. And this is of serious concern for the country.

Chris Melville

For an instant I thought he might be serious, but in the context of the rest of his behavior, it didn't mean a lot. But I guess he was trying to make it official.

Maureen Murphy

The older you get, the greater the probability that you would not only have serious complications, but you would actually die.

Anthony S. Fauci

Obviously it was sore. But I didn't know it was broken. Then I suspected it was something serious.

Mark Schwarzer

The war we have now is not the war we started off with. It's much more serious.

Charles Krohn

It's time to get serious.

Bill Griffith

That was some serious weight there.

Melvin Johnson

Jones County has a very serious school construction need, ... They have been looking for avenues since their tax base is so limited and their property tax is very high.

William Wainwright

Maybe, it's tweaking it, or maybe it's serious changes will need to be made. People will hopefully feel they are part of the process.

Superintendent Mary Fasbender

That's tempting a real serious fate.

Jim Scott

It's more of a showing that a man is serious about marrying his wife and that he would not leave her stranded.

Travis Xiong

We've been very encouraged by the community's response to the Walk On! Challenge. Childhood obesity is a serious matter, and we believe Walk On! is a great first step to actively engaging our youth.

Richard Boals

In the absence of real action at the federal level, states, cities and other nations are stepping forward to address the serious issues presented by climate change.

Richard Opper

In Charlotte County, they are dealing with this every day. If we don't get some significant rainfall in the next few week we're going to be in a serious situation as we get into the height of fire season.

Chuck Johnston

The illegal brokering of arms and weapons to our enemies is a serious and deadly business.

Christopher Wray

I think the thing (about) her is discipline; to be able to combine athletics and her academics, she's very serious about everything she does but she's also able to enjoy life as well. She has good sprint speed, she's very smart and she has a lot of guts. All that adds up to a good 400 runner.

Lane Lewallen

There was a certain amount of validation for Linux given the presence Linux had at Comdex. It means the business community is looking at Linux as a serious alternative.

Ransom Love

There hasn't really been that and it requires things like fairly serious renovations in the payments system. Three days to transfer money electronically is really shocking.

Michael Foulkes

It's a project whose time has come. We need to give it a serious try.

Laurie Cohen

The protest has put serious pressure on the government. But it has not reached the point where the government will collapse.

Thitinan Pongsudhirak

[Friends] knew [our] relationship was serious not when we moved in together, but when we combined our record collections.

Dave Kolesar

Measles could potentially become a serious problem.

Fadela Chaib

[The Kravis, which was in the middle of a roof repair, escaped serious damage.] There was just a little water here and there, nothing significant, ... Nothing too exciting, which is fine with me.

Jim Mitchell

With Mike, he always wanted to be a champ. Me, I'm just having fun. It's a serious thing, but at the same time, I'm just having fun.

Rich Stewart

We've overused our antibiotics and now, they don't work. That's a serious issue.

Howard Stark

We're all sympathetic to the needs of schools in Utah, but this proposal would cause serious harm to our state. It would allow the state legislature to cherry pick which of ... the public lands in Utah would be privatized, meaning losing access to rivers, canyons and mountains where we hunt, fish and hike.

Scott Groene

We had too many young guys in there to give them a serious challenge. I just wanted to see how individuals could go out there and improve as wrestlers.

Tyrone Johnson

We actually do listen, and a lot of board members have some serious issues with some of these rules.

Peter Kalikow

Although this case is one of the more serious examples of its type, it is certainly not unique. Honest customers of the banks end up funding these fraudsters' gains.

Robert Scott

Sometimes people hear that and they get real fearful. But we're not talking about a dog bite. We're talking about serious bodily injury or death.

Marilyn Shoemaker

There can be no impediment to his extradition for the very serious crimes with which he is charged, ... We urge the government to move expeditiously so that he can be extradited.

William Wood

Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary's life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.

Angela Davis

Every year, legislators override the statute. It's a serious issue for our members. We want to ensure the benefit will be there.

Rosemary Coyle

If the Church is right, then people have some serious questions to answer.

Jeff Cavins

The department sees these as serious violations, which warrants large penalties.

Laurence Lau

If you are serious about stopping people before things take off, then necessarily your evidence is going to be more ambiguous.

Andrew Mccarthy

But the trial didn't proceed to a final conclusion to determine liability. We have no serious concerns over the safety of Masonry, which is one of the reasons we continue to work with them.

Cass Cliatt

We will not allow the court to appoint other lawyers. The lawyers are forced to attend the hearings, despite serious threats on their lives, but they want to do that to serve justice.

Issam Ghazawi

The market is already in a serious downtrend so any disappointment is going to clobber the market.

Katherine Beattie

Rezak was a person you could disagree with and still have your job, Gupta is not. Rezak was someone who had strong opinions of his own. He would listen to them, give them serious consideration.

David Broad

Those are the two things that would have to be real serious points of any discussion. The Vikings are not looking for a long-term thing. Their answers to those questions would determine a lot about how involved we got this time.

Kelby Krabbenhoft

I started focusing on strength and conditioning. I got serious about it.

Luis Avila

Historically, any time of serious domestic economic struggle has had negative effects on the entertainment industry, as consumers re-prioritize the expenditure of their discretionary income.

Wayne Martin

This investigation and the public scrutiny that has gone with it could have become a serious distraction for Mark.

James Sutherland

I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

Charles de Gaulle

Any violations of the university's hazing regulations are serious offenses.

Pablo Malavenda

We continue to have serious dialogue with Notre Dame regarding a game next season, but at this time, there is no agreement in place. We hope to have an announcement regarding the situation soon, but final contracts have yet to be signed.

Kevin Anderson

I'd do a nude scene for world peace or if I were facing some serious jail time, but I'm also a sucker for a good bottle of wine and candlelight.

Jorja Fox

It's going to take a while to gather all the sensitive info and all the evidence. The detectives are conducting a real, real intense investigation just because of the fact that it's such a serious allegation.

Carlos Negron

I personally believe that the police routinely violate an individual's rights and as defense attorneys we're always fighting an uphill battle. In my opinion, it is extremely admirable for a judge to have the courage to suppress evidence in a serious case like this.

Kevin Mahoney

We consider this a very serious breach, and we're conducting an internal investigation. Legal action - including referral to law enforcement authorities - will be considered based on the findings of our internal review.

Claudia Baucus

If the government were serious to begin with, we could have avoided a repeat of this type of disaster.

Von Hernandez

There is the possibility of losing your hearing. That's when it gets to a very serious level.

Melaney Arnold

The people that are getting into the restaurant industry in a serious fashion like this are the type that are looking long-range to develop three, four, five or six sites and then make that a regional chain.

Tom Weatherly

We decided to get much more serious about the industry-standard server market.

John Fowler

He believes that he will receive a fair and proper hearing the U.S. on these very serious allegations.

Judith Seddon

The most exciting part of this is I'm going there with a serious contender that has earned a lot of respect and has a chance to win. It's a wonderful experience, for sure, but it's even more special because he's run fast and won a major race along the way.

Mike Trombetta

Everyone understands we are serious. If you do not comply with the reporting, you are not going to get your check.

Jim Goodness

This is very easy to enjoy because of the impact of the colors that they choose and the imagery. There's such a wide range of fun things to look at. Even their serious messages are framed in humor.

Jackie Borsanyi

He's entitled to say: 'Why me? Why aren't you prosecuting other footballers who've done much worse than me, other sportsmen who regularly administer much more serious injuries'.

Steve Barker

I think we're beginning to do it in a way that's convincing our audience that we're going to remain serious. It's beginning to jell with people and it's beginning to jell with us, too.

Terry Moran

I'm afraid it's pretty serious. I feel horrible for him because he's worked so hard.

Bill Bays

As the game gets more serious or more important, the effect gets stronger in a linear fashion. We didn't see any spikes after the games in visits. What we assume is that people decided to wait.

John Brownstein

This is a serious issue, ... All the city staff and departments are supporting the utility department in getting this issue resolved.

John Sweet

He promised serious support from the side of the United States.

Nino Burdzhanadze

We don't think a school is the proper setting to deal with a serious drug issue. We need the help of the community. The board has stated that they are more than willing to be partners.

Jay Yule

We want to show our community that we are very serious about beefing up our department so we can better protect our citizens.

Barbara Hamm

It's been a serious battle.

Kelly Vorse

I don't know a lot about Richmond. We just received film on them (on Thursday). They're defending champions, though, so we're taking them serious.

Derric Coakley

This is a serious occurrence. I'm not trying to down play that, but we're also trying to give you a perspective on the frequency of these activities. Sharks do frequent those areas.

David Griffin

They have done well in other categories and they have the technology expertise. I would certainly consider them a serious contender.

Chris Charron

There's imbedded rock coming out of the field. The situation is serious.

Mike Guthrie

What I took out of it is the fact they are taking us seriously. They know we will be building a serious campaign.

Tom Swan

They told us that her liver was so bad that medicine wasn't going to help it and she needed a liver transplant. We knew it was really serious because they wanted to do it quick.

Bethany Nicholson

The Indian market is really picking up now. Finally, the market is starting to see some serious growth and that's good.

Nick Ingelbrecht

Losing jobs in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities is quite serious. Look what happened with the Gate Gourmet dispute with British Airways.

Gary Titley

We just had a good group of kids who bought into what we've been teaching for years. In the past you might have a few kids who were really serious, but we had a group that did everything it had to do to be a special team.

Nick Didomenico

Agents are getting their hands on serious amounts of money - more than ?30 million (US$36.6 million) alone on the French market - which is unjustifiable compared to the work carried out, and dubious as to where that money is heading.

Frederic Thiriez

We want to be sure of his physical condition and to see how he has recovered from his serious knee injury.

Joachim Low

The word love has by no means the same sense for both sexes, and this is one cause of the serious misunderstandings that divide them.

Simone de Beauvoir

If you have even a mild health condition, your premium could be surcharged, or you could be denied coverage entirely. If you have a serious illness, rest assured that you're going to be denied. But if you have a mild condition, even something like hay fever, you may face limitations or even denial.

Larry Levitt

We've talked to a lot more experts, people who are well-respected, top of the industry, on all facets, anything that could possibly be related to this test, and they all have serious criticisms of the test.

Howard Jacobs

The president doesn't have a Blackberry. Andy Card's e-mails are like the president's e-mails ... there are serious and legitimate constitutional questions about that.

David Marin

I feel bad, but from my prospective [having the season end] it opens it up a little bit more to move people along and to find out whether their serious. I don't think anyone is using us. Sometimes that's a factor that you have to worry about.

Gene Doris

The problem is serious as trafficking of girls is also associated with this problem.

Girija Vyas

I knew it was something very serious and not to mess around with it.

Chris Sanders

Life is too serious to do farce comedy.

Buster Keaton

It's a topic the gold industry in Nevada takes serious.

Dave Cook

I think it's an important enough case that we have to spend what it takes. It's not about this particular young man or his mother. It's about a potentially serious financial impact to the school district.

Larry Simmons

(Cooley) feels that Three Strikes should only be used for the most serious and violent felons.

Jane Robison

China has regulations that prohibit any company to go against the U.N. resolutions. So indeed, we in China have been very serious and responsible on this question, and we have a very good track record in the U.N.,

Tang Jiaxuan

Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real antiwar movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an antiwar rally.

Karl Rove

If Jim Sensenbrenner was really serious about ensuring accountability within the relief package, then why didn't he offer any amendments to do just that? It's clear by his actions that Congressman Sensenbrenner didn't want to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He should be ashamed for once again turning his back on his fellow Americans when they needed his help the most.

Joe Wineke

Al Gore needs to understand that what happened in Florida is not necessarily about him, ... suffered serious infractions and irregularities and disparities. And the fact is that - if nothing more - the residual from this should be election reform.

Alcee Hastings

The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.

Nicholas Butler

Travel is the frivolous part of serious lives, and the serious part of frivolous ones.

Anne Sophie Swetchine

She's serious. She's sincere. And she's pretty tenacious about getting her life in order.

Howard Weitzman

That does constitute a serious issue. . . . We are working very diligently with keeping those airways open.

Dr. Richard Shannon

We need to demonstrate to our town leaders, mayor and council that this has serious support.

Charles Andrews

Americans seem sometimes to believe that if you are a thinker you must be a frowning bore, because thinking is so damn serious.

Jacques Maritain

If you're on a diet, you're expecting this to happen. But if you're eating the same way -- and now have to adjust your belt a few notches tighter -- you could have a serious problem.

Neil Shulman

The Kellogg-Hubbard Library faces serious financial challenges. We realize we are bringing our request to voters at the last minute, but in the face of a potentially large deficit the board felt we needed to take immediate action.

Paul Costello

With the combination of free streaming video and online betting pools, companies could be faced with serious bandwidth and productivity issues, not to mention many organizations' prohibition of Internet gambling in their company policy. Our customers will be able to continue with business-as-usual and not worry about employee distractions on game day.

John Doyle

This downtrend in technology stocks is looking more serious than we had expected.

Shinichi Ichikawa

This project has some serious safety implications. If we are going to allow this project to be halted or be delayed or continued for any further discussion on a third interchange when we feel that we've done everything possible to show that for many reasons it is not feasible, I think it would be poor stewardship on our part.

Stephanie Filson

The horn players have a pretty tight bond. He was the older brother. He was the oldest of the six of us, and he was probably the most serious of the six of us.

Ron Schneider

We do have a little time, but not much. . . . If we don't get a serious program in place for the long term in this second post-Kyoto phase, we will simply not make it and we will be crossing limits which will basically produce impacts that are unacceptable.

Michael Oppenheimer

It's quite clear that otherwise we will have a serious political problem...it may mean new, much harsher political tactics by the great powers on the Serb Republic and its institutions.

Dragan Cavic

I would get on the bike every morning and ride around downtown with a knapsack on my back and literally pick up orders, most of them sympathy orders. I just kept that route every day just to let people know we were serious.

Lindsay Gray

Barry played three games in eight days and is now in a bit of discomfort. But it's nothing too serious and I'd expect him to be in his usual place for the game on Saturday.

Gordon Chisholm

It's a serious matter. To leave it in our hands when we're not out there, they may get a call they didn't bargain for.

Robin Pemberton

This is a very serious offense, ... He'll be dealt with appropriately.

Keith Henderson

They have to do something serious about property-tax reform. Otherwise, what are you going to do? They?re going to tax people out of their homes.

Superintendent Michael Wasta

Any lost-time accident we take as a serious injury. I wouldn't refer to any injury as minor.

Marion Loomis

This is an indication of how serious we are about gaining leadership. If you look at where we have lost ground, it has been in the server marketplace.

Tom Kilroy

He really didn't get serious until the eighth grade. I was afraid of some burnout. I'm so involved in it. I wanted him to do it because he wanted to.

Greg Hull

Absent serious constitutional error, which we know from this order Sessions isn't going to find, I don't think Sessions has any choice but to sentence Fell to death.

Michael Mello

He believed listening to music was a serious endeavor.

Michael Fine

The condition of the children is very serious, ... Most of them are malnourished, suffering from measles and other diseases, already weakened, and now they have nothing to eat and most of them are dying.

Ahmed Ibrahim

This is one of the serious topics we are dealing with this session.

Rep. Ralph Foley

In the spring and summer of 1989, a serious political disturbance took place in China.

Li Peng

If they are serious about getting a tentative agreement into our members' hands for a vote, I would suggest that they make some substantial movement in our direction.

Jeff Mathews

But the development that government will support is that which is transparent and adheres to the laid down procedures and not one which inconveniences other sectors of the nation or raises serious suspicions.

Vernon Mwaanga

Anyone who relies exclusively on television for his or her knowledge of the world is making a serious mistake.

Steve Powers

This is a serious case of malicious persecution of Cong. Beltran on account of his political beliefs and activities.

Romeo Capulong

She's doing so great. You knew she was going to be a success. She took the game serious. We just played a small part in her development on and off the court. She still has a lot more to offer.

Jerry Curtis

His complete failure of judgment and leadership raises serious questions about his suitability for office.

Brian Coleman

As the offer size for Guidant increases and the relative value of its ICD business increases, we can't ignore the fact that at some point it might make sense for one of the two contenders to take a serious look at St. Jude Medical.

Tao Levy

When I first started I only swam during the high school season, so I didn't get much out of it, ... Then last year I really got serious and buckled down. I started swimming year-round and just bloomed, I guess.

Carl Miller

Have you ever told a lie? Then you are a liar. How many murders do you have to commit to be a murderer? Just one. If you have told even one lie, that makes you a liar. The Bible warns that all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8). You may not think deceitfulness is a serious sin, but God does.

Kirk Cameron

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Bill Shankly

He has a light leg injury, nothing serious. I think he'll be all right in 24-48 hours.

Giovanni Trapattoni

This is a very serious issue which concerns not only the seamen but the farmers whose produce … is being destroyed because of the delays created by the strike.

Theodoros Roussopoulos

It's interesting that she put this in a memo. A police report with lies in it is a very serious offense. If she lies like that, you have to wonder what kind of stuff she puts in other reports.

Joe Veronese

In general, you have to have a pretty serious market power concern before you go down this road [of price controls], because the chances of causing shortages and causing gas lines are quite significant. Hawaii seems to have designed this so it's much less likely to happen, and Hawaii has a credible argument to be made that they face a significant market power problem.

Severin Borenstein

A number of large international drilling service companies have already expressed serious interest in tendering, some of which currently have ongoing drilling operations nearby.

John Craven

This survey should serve as a wake-up call for the majority of Americans who have not planned for the eventuality that they will need care in the future. Unless the public gets serious about their future care, family caregivers will be less equipped than they are now to provide this care.

Richard Schulz

FDA's investigation of BTS revealed serious and widespread deficiencies in their manufacturing practices that provide the agency reason to believe that allowing the firm to manufacture would present a danger to public health by increasing the risk of communicable disease transmission.

Margaret Glavin

That was the worm on the hook. We'll make contact with them one-on-one for more serious conversations later; let's show them a good time now.

Bob Pusey

It's not enough to prosecute the people who were following orders. If the U.S. government is serious about stopping this illegal and immoral abuse, then we need to take seriously the prospect of putting the people who were giving the orders on trial — Miller... among others.

Avi Cover

We're glad that the percentage is lower than the prior year. But our main feeling is that when you have one out of every 10 workers having these significant declines in cholinesterase, you've got a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Carol Dansereau

(Today) will tell the tale. You're starting to get into serious money.

Hugo Papstein

We are facing serious danger from the rain, ... We are staying on alert in nearly every part of the nation.

Ricardo Maduro

I would have never done this record if I didn't have the blessing of the rest of the guys, ... We're not, like, on hiatus. We're working. We're very serious about our records, and I know the guys are at home right now writing. Hopefully we are looking at next year for a record.

Mike Shinoda

They do have a propensity for inflicting very serious bites if they do bite.

Cheryl Conway

There's never really been any serious discussion amongst me David and Stephen about what we do with our harmonies. It just seems to be a very natural thing to do, and I think it's also an unspoken thing, too. It's not like we actually sit down and plan what we're going to do. We just do each song the best way we know how.

Graham Nash

The river flows are not impacting us too much right now, but if it gets to 219 feet as forecast, then we start getting nervous because it puts a lot of pressure on the levees. When it hits 221 feet at Tehama Bridge, that's getting serious.

Brendon Flynn

Ultimately it's not serious in any way as proposed legislation, but it's very serious with regard to what the committee's real alternatives are, ... The chairman is actively working to make sure that it's ANWR -- and (the Arctic refuge) alone.

Brian Kennedy

This improvement can be attributed to serious efforts that these institutions have made to minimize costs and improve their services. You could make a fair case that all of the Wayne County hospitals have been successful.

John Griffith

These are serious numbers. The question is whether this is a trend or a reaction to Katrina and Rita.

Tom Cole

They're right on you, and when you're traveling in a van, you can hide a lot of stuff in it...and they were serious about it.

Harold Gould

In the past few years I've always run here before beginning serious training at altitude to get ready for the summer. I'm reasonably fit but possibly not in as good a shape as I'd possibly like to be.

Craig Mottram

We are fortunate in Onslow County that we don't flood very easily, ... We are expecting some minor coastal flooding. We don't expect anything to pose a serious threat to property or people but as always people should be careful driving through ponds on roadways.

Mark Goodman

This is not a little boy crying wolf. This is a serious situation throughout the state.

Kevin Cook

We've had six or seven houses and two mobile homes destroyed but there were no serious injuries. They were lucky.

Jason Walker

Matthew and James have got a serious chance of winning. If they go towards the four, I don't think the pair that would come out of that would be good enough to win gold.

Steve Redgrave

This means that these 18 countries should only be the beginning, ... The World Bank and IMF should extend debt cancellation to all poor countries if they are serious about poverty alleviation.

Neil Watkins

We have a very serious situation facing the future of our casino industry.

Larry Gregory

The athletic department is launching a fundraiser on a scale that I don't believe has ever been attempted here before. We're serious about raising money that provides scholarships for student athletes, and we believe this campaign will set a foundation to where we can provide scholarship support on an annual basis.

Jack Bishop

I don't think these laws make public officials ethical. They tell the public we mean business because we are serious about wanting an ethical institution.

Peggy Kerns

Global demand has pushed oil prices to a new higher platform, and risks of serious supply disruption (Iran, Nigeria) are adding a premium to prices.

David Thurtell

The only serious issue for an economy as developed as the Irish economy is how to stay ahead. The dynamics of that debate have to centre on the 'race to the top'.

Pat Cox

They were fairly minor issues. However, if they were not addressed so quickly, they would have been more serious issues.

Jim Newman

It was good to know it wasn't a serious injury and it was only a week, which is what we hoped for.

Michael Hagan

We have lost two single family dwellings, or two homes, one detached garage and three out buildings, and we have had six injuries to firefighters. Those range from serious to minor.

Ron Haralson

I am afraid the commission's decision paves the way to mass rigging. We are used to ministers or ministries ignoring court verdicts, but for the head of the Constitutional Court and judges to disrespect court rulings is very serious and unprecedented.

Nasser Amin

I think this is more a case of noises-off for domestic purposes rather than serious intent by Cyprus.

John Palmer

This is a very, very serious issue.

Hugh Pennington

It will continue the cycle; I think it has to. It's positive to have serious corporations that have the business background to do that kind of work necessary to run teams today.

Andrew Zimbalist

Most of them aren't serious (about killing themselves). But say one chat participant starts suggesting concrete plans... That's when the Internet can encourage suicide.

Mafumi Usui

The political killings are one of the most serious human rights issues, but the key problem there is to identify properly where responsibility lies and that's why I think an impartial mechanism could be of assistance.

Brian Martin

If this trend continues over the next few years it will be very difficult for the sector, ... It could mean serious cutbacks in capital investment and in staff numbers.

Drummond Bone

It discusses serious issues and gives sensible advice in an accessible style that young people can understand. Not everyone may appreciate the chatty style, but it helps to demystify the subject.

Simon Cook

There have been serious discussions by representatives of the four zoos to ask if there are ways that the price of keeping pandas can be negotiated downward.

Don Lindburg

After battling months of snow and icy roads, your car is undoubtedly in desperate need of some serious tender-loving care. A cleaner engine, for example, can give your car better performance -- ensuring less hesitation and smoother acceleration.

Lauren Fix

Boyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious.

P. G. Wodehouse

They are missing functionality, process and data models that are going to go into the functional areas. These are very complicated things that have to be dealt with to build the suite. At the end of the day, I walked away saying Oracle is going to have serious trouble meeting a 2008 deadline.

Joshua Greenbaum

I'm busier than a busy person. People aren't scared to play this raucous, harsh music over radio speakers, so I think it's the perfect time to get in with some real serious, heavy bands.

Jason Newsted

This shows how serious the Israelis are about security.

Jibril Rajoub

There are serious conflicts in the lower courts.

Kathy Rodgers

Concerning Dick's comments, I'm looking into it myself. I want to know the facts. If what was reported is true, it raises serious concerns.

Marc Holtzman

This raises some serious privacy issues. But where better than to work these concerns out but on a research campus?

Carlo Ratti

The interesting finding of the survey was that for 2006, enterprises are facing serious challenges across multiple areas of email management. The market is demanding solutions for holistic email data management that go beyond a single feature or function.

Michael Osterman

We're considering all our options. We have a series of very serious allegations. There's still been no investigation.

Steve Hinchman

Upon completion of our investigation, further action may be taken. (The charges) are very serious in nature.

Joe Munem

Exceptional performances from everyone on the team. Considering the terrain -- serious elevation drops and rises, trails and dusty dirt country roads in complete darkness other than the flashlight the runner carries -- for a team from Florida to do this well is terrific.

Doug Horn
