When will the police arrest the parents of Madeleine?
They are guilty of neglect and should have all of their children taken away from them!
It was there own fault to leave such children alone so they could have a good time, most people would not leave their children alone up 14 years own, a law i think.

In fact, rich countries (the U.S. included) will readily impose trade sanctions on poor countries to "protect" their countries' economies.

As of today, nearly all countries agree that whaling is wrong. So why don't rich countries do anything about it?

Unlike the effect on poor countries, imposing sanctions due to whaling will not kill the rich economies of Japan/Iceland.

Is this a case of rich countries turning a blind eye (even when they are wrong) because they are rich? Shouldn't right and wrong NOT be something dictated by one's money?

Did Hitler, Manson & Falwell & Their Ilk Deserve Love Of Their Fellow Man?

Did Hitler, Manson & Falwell & Their Ilk Deserve Love Of Their Fellow Man?

I asked the ? about rejoicing in Falwell's death as I do.

I was accused of being spewing hatred myself.

So I ask you. Should good-hearted loving tolerant fair-minded liberal people like me love and tolerate the hateful intolerant, like Hitler Falwell and Charlie Manson, or must we fight the hateful and intolerant with hatred and intolerance?

Consider clearly in terms of Hitler.
You either tolerate and respect his invading genocidal ways... or you invade and destroy him.
Does that make you just like him?

god, sometimes the media are like pitt ball terriers.

if this guy, that's their suspect, is in fact innocent then it will be years until he can walk down the street again without people shouting abuse and starring. and i can't beleive they have camped outside his British home telling everyone about his ex-wife and 4 year old daughter.
if he's innocent i wonder if he'll get an apology?
guilty until proven innocent!!

oh and before i get lots of rants...yes i do hope, with all my heart that beautiful little maddie is found safe and well. i just think that the media sometimes cause more harm then good.
they should stop pestering the police and let them carry out their investigations.

from the largest oil company in the world, which is Exxon/Mobile, that it will hit "their" pocket book? It's not going to take one day of boycotting buying gas. It's going to take every day! The next time you pull up to the pump, beware of whom you're buying from. Do others agree?

I bought gas today because I needed it not in protest for tomorrow. But I've been looking for this April 1997 protest and can't find it. If gas prices dropped over night then, then why was the protest just in April and not on a certain day like the 15 of May.

ITS SUPPLY AND DEMAND. IF YOU DO NOT BUY GAS LIKE USUAL IT WILL RAISE DEMANDS ON THE NEXT DAY CAUSING THE PRICES TO RISE AGAIN. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE HIGH NOW. LET'S NOT SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT. HOW BOUT RIDE A BIKE TO WORK FROM NOW ON, THAT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. ASSUMING ITS COMUTABLE OF COURSE.

Well in the days of old since there was a "gas shortage", the goverment institued a way of saving gas was actually having people go slowly thus preserving gas. In addition to safety reasons as well, since most crashes happen around 65 MPH and up. I am just interested in hearing peoples opinions on this, its for a project for my cousin.

So I didn't buy any gas today. What was that all about?
I heard it was an anneversier to a silent protest years ago that targeted oil corps and the rising gas prices.

Did you buy gas?

In Darfur a woman has been kidnapped and tortured - as part of her torture whe was forced to hang her own child.

Isn't this just as hideous as the current headlines if not worse?
(Don't get me wrong - I am disgusted by what has happened in Portugal and I hope to God that Madeleine McCann is found safe and well .)

Every news article I read about this guy, he is passing the blame onto someone else! I can't believe that people are sucking this **** up... How is it that he can pass this blame off on his #2 guy but somehow isn't responsible for a huge amount of firings claiming "I never heard about this"?

I'm sorry, but if you are the Attorney General of the United States, you better know when a ton of your staff is being fired! Shows his incompitence.
