Hi °C | Lo °C Stormont could discuss other marriage issues
I WAS shocked to learn of the proposed Stormont debate about same-sex marriage.
Players must bow to Suarez
Those running football clubs are very slow to understand the basics. Only Sir Alex Ferguson realises that football is a team game.
DUP is in a Maze over shrine comments
So First Minister Peter Robinson believes that concerns about the Maze are "so absurd that the men in white coats should lead some people off" and that those who voice public concern are talking "scaremongering garbage".
City lockdown was simply silly
No, Eddie Johnson (Write Back, April 23) you're not alone in thinking that the Boston lockdown made the US look ridiculous.
US carries out horrific attacks of its own
The Boston bomb attack on innocent people was horrific and it makes one feel saddened and aggrieved for the ordinary people who attended the marathon.
Charity thanks

Moderation is the key to a healthy diet
It is well-known that diabetes is the result of many different factors, including obesity and family history (News, April 25).
Give our Rory a sporting chance
How can the R&A's chief executive not have the facts before he speaks (News, April 24)?
Bomb charge description is totally wrong
While it was a horrific crime and one can only feel sadness for those who suffered in the Boston bombing, the US risks making itself look ridiculous by charging the surviving suspect with using 'weapons of mass destruction'.
Fangs but no fangs, Suarez
I suggest that the Professional Footballers' Association is unwise to urge that the supremely gifted Luis Suarez go on an anger-management course. I fear that he will drink the blood of any tutor.
Troubles museum should be at Crumlin Road
I fully support the twin ideas that (a) we should have a museum of the Troubles and (b) that Northern Ireland has something to offer the world in relation to conflict-resolution and peace-building.
BBC licence fee cut would solve a few problems
The Government does not have the money to give us a tax-break using PAYE. However, if it cut the BBC licence fee to £73, it would give millions a tax-break and pump £2.3bn into the economy. It would force the BBC to sack its endless layers of suits and stop it paying mediocre presenters millions a year for absolute rubbish.
Boston needed Star Wars cops
I don't care what the armed cops of Boston wear, let them look like Star Wars cops (Write Back, April 23).
Blues invite Luis for a quick bite
After the 'distasteful' ending to the match at Anfield, it was rumoured Chelsea full-backs asked Luis Suarez out for a quick bite.
Measles jab is a matter of choice
NO one would dispute that the causes of autism are unknown and that there is no cure.
Footballer just a two-bite player
LUIS Suarez will be back wearing a Liverpool jersey in a very short time, following his second attempt to chew the arm off an opposing player. The last time he felt peckish on a football field, he served a suspension of seven matches as a consequence. He obviously didn't learn his lesson.
Ulster Bank's bosses failing its customers
I manage the accounts for a north Belfast SME, which has banked with the Ulster Bank for more than 100 years. The company even has a silver platter from the bank, thanking them for their business for more than 90 years.
Terror funding from US ceased many years ago
The people of Boston deserve our sincere condolences for the recent terrorist atrocity.
Boston outrage highlights futility of violence
First and foremost, I want to offer my sincere condolences to the families of those who lost a loved one, along with my deepest sympathy to those who were maimed or traumatised, due to the inhumane act of bombing innocent people in Boston.
Animal Aid's claims 'wrong'
Ashley Owen of Animal Aid makes some overblown claims in his letter (Write Back, April 23).
