He is becoming a bore

Increasing pain at the gas pumps is pushing up the cost of road trips. But according to the CAA, boycotting stations won't affect the price. So with the loonie on the rise, is a jaunt to a US destination the way to spend holidays this summer?

In a move sure to raise even more questions about the decision to go to war with Iraq, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will on Friday release selected portions of pre-war intelligence in which the CIA warned the administration of the risk and consequences of a conflict in the Middle East.
Among other things, the 40-page Senate report reveals that two intelligence assessments before the war accurately predicted that toppling Saddam could lead to a dangerous period of internal violence and provide a boost to terrorists. But those warnings were seemingly ignored......
“The United States will face negative consequences with Iraq, the region and beyond which would include:

Anarchy and the territorial breakup of Iraq;
Region-threatening instability in key Arab states;
A surge of global terrorism against US interests fueled by (militant) Islamism;
Major oil supply disruptions

I had a dream today:

I wake up

I get a shovel

I go outside

I start digging

I find Madeline

She is alive!!!

I tell McCanns

They kill me and Madeline because we are bad for the McCann business

Although it feels wrong, I cannot help but blame the parents and as time goes on, I am actually becoming angry at their actions. I realise that I may not know all the facts and so I am hoping that fellow members can verify these for me.
Is the company which has been set up to collect money a charity or not? Are the Mccanns able to spend this money at will? Are they using this money to subsidise their income whilst they are not working? Do the Mccanns campaign for donations or just accept what is offered? What will become of unused funds? Are they donating any of this money to other charities or using it to help find other missing children?
It seems to me that they are appealing for a nation of people who are on average worse off, to fund their trips across Europe and to The Vatican, which will do nothing to find Maddie, even though they were to blame. This is unprecedented even amongst parents who have lost children through no fault of their own. Also, why no punishment for neglect.

This is just a random though that popped into my head and no I havent been drinking ;)

This whole case has had a very 'religious' theme around it. Ever since she was kidnapped, the place we see the McCanns the most are in their their church. This takes priority over even looking for Madeleine.

Then a few weeks into the disappearance they make a trip to Fatima one of the holiest places in Portugal and of course along with that comes the whole media entourage.

Now its revealed they are going one step further and meeting the Pope.

I mean this whole disappearance has been great advertising for the Catholic faith with the amount of exposure its gotten.

Now what if after meeting the Pope, Madeliene suddenly makes an appearance. It would be a 'miracle'! A miracle brought about by their faith.

What Im saying is wouldnt it be funny if this was just some MAJOR religious hoax to get people to believe in the power of prayer and of christ?

p.s I have just finished watching the Da Vinci code

Do you think a devoutly Catholic GP or surgeon, for example, can give you the best care? There are many articles which indicate that devoutly religious doctors are far less effective/medically ethical than their more secular counterparts.

Isn't it true that the Louvre and The British Museum have many artifacts from Africa/Asia/South America etc.? Do they have a right to keep these artifacts, or should they be returned to the countries where they came from?
After all, if the Greeks have been demanding that the Elgin Marbles be returned, doesn't Africa have even more of a right to have their artifacts, which may have been taken during colonization, returned?
Were these artifacts, in fact, stolen?
Isn't there a growing movement in this direction where it is becoming more fashionable to admit that it is wrong for Western Museums to keep such items?

Seriously, what the hell is up with all this coverage the case is getting? Children go missing every day, so why should one specific case get all the attention? And the outpouring of grief from everyone is sickening. Get over it. You don't know her, or her family. Get a life. There's much more important issues in the world. Stop jumping on bandwagons and think for yourself.

I have heard so many conflicting stories so far about the McCanns.First she said she checked every half hour then changed her story to 8.30,9pm and 10pm, the patio door was locked then it was left unlocked,They said they phoned at 11.50 to the police then it was 10,10pm .Then the hotel manager said he phoned and not them.
She said she found her missing, then it was the 4 of them that went back to find her gone. even though she said she ran back to the restaurant to tell eveyone. The waiting staff at the restaurant said nobody left the table that evening.
Am I confused or what and why didn`t they just tell the truth in the first place to aid the police in finding the child.
What is going on here.???
Is there a conspiracy , lies or misplaced memories? or are they covering something up.?
Can someone tell me please?

Have just seen the latest photo of Maddie, playing near with her daddy & brother & sister.

Will someone please help out my stupid, confused, idiotic head here?

Why THAT photo? Am I missing something? You cant see the face of Maddie, are we meant to be looking at the people in the background? Her clothes? Her daddy?

Please tell me its just me that is finding this all going a bit weird around the corners.......................

thought it a bit odd that they waited for any lenght of time to show recent photo, was this up to them or does the police have a say in what photos are shown and when

regarding the maddie mccann case?
when this first happened, i was standing up for the mccanns all the time, even getting into arguements with people , saying how i beleieved they made a bad decision (look at my previous questions and answers)
however now i am well and truly baffled, and annoyed that this little girl is getting soooo much attention, dont get me wrong, it is very sad, and god i hope she is found safe, but what about all the other kids that are missing? they dont generate this kind of publicity, is this a case of "money talks"??
her parents are beggining to seriously grate on me too, i mean if it was me right now i believe i would be heavily sedated somewhere, i wouldnt be coping at all.
so yes i have changed my mind, its not often i do but i have, has anyone else?

Who thinks Dave S and Pangel should get married. After all they are both obsessed with the back-patting, sickening and sycophantic back-slappers that agree with every single one of their words just for the sake of it.

I won't be attending the wedding though, the contents of my stomach couldn't stand it.

I have seen old photographs of a newspaper office where a member of the staff wears a black armband. I don't think this is a sign of mourning as I remember seeing this in episodes of 'Lou Grant' that old TV series about a newspaper editor. The black armband therefore is a clue to identifying the member of the newspaper staff.

Incident reported today in Yahoo news. Unfortunaetly exactly the same thing happened in Afganistan when fundamentalist Muslims invaded. Why does the Quran condone human rights abuses, especially of women and non-muslims, who they call Infidels.
