I still can't get past this. I mean, how does a pig like this get so BIG?!?

Was he an escaped lab experiment or something?

That the McCanns atitude that they did not trust strangers (referring to babysitters and other child supervision) has led to the abduction of their daughter? Meaning if they had trusted the Portuguese their daughter would still be with them?

What would you do to decrease Global warming. For eg We need more energy efficient and less polluntant form of transport. Fossil fuels cause carbon dioxide which pollutes harms environment. An alternative is electric or solor,wind panel cars.

It's my belief the only way to rid those nations of extremism and to get the locals to help us against the enemies of freedom(yeah I said it! Islamists are without a doubt antifreedom!) Look at Iran and the Taliban! We need to help those people in order to help ourselves and our security.I admit there are selfish reasons behind my intentions but everybody on this planet is looking out for their best interest and sometimes those interests overlap or need to compliment one another.Sometimes you can't have your pie without sharing a slice of it withsomebdy else!

I took an intro to Biology course, during which we learned about evolution. One example of proof of modern-day evolution my instructor gave is the breeding of dogs, during which specific traits are able to evolve and change over the course of time and create unique breeds. I was surprised my instructor (and our text) used this as an example, because wouldn't a creationist be able to say that this example also proved their argument since this type of evolution only took place under the guidance of intelligent design (in this case humans)?

Do you think this is a good way to Honor veterans by showcasing some nice "entertaining war movies"?

They are on the other side of the world. Why on earth are they considered a threat? If we made peace with them and maintained a friendly relationship wouldn't it benefit us? Yea I know that Iraq is what some people will say, but in response if open lines of communications were made with Iran (which is shia) then that would surely produce a more positive outcome for the US in Iraq. Can also say the nuclear thing, but doesn't Israel have an arsenal of nuclear weapons. Well now on Israel, Iran supposedly said to wipe Israel off the map, but why does that concern America? Isn't Israel’s army the 5th strongest in the world? Can’t they stand up for themselves? Why lose more American men? Who is the real threat to the survival of the human race; Iran (with no nuclear weapons) or other nations in that region with an entire arsenal of un-inspected nuclear and chemical weapons? What do you guys think and how do you think as citizens we can improve relations with Iran and other nations?

Look at the different reports on the Venezuela TV station story...
Fox News Headline: Venezuelans Defy Chavez; Shutdown of TV station brings violent protest

AP Headline: Chavez Launches New Venezuela TV Station...

Which "angle" is correct? CNN has virtually ingnored this story so far.

What will it take for us to get honest "just the facts" reporting from any news institution? Will the free market support a news agency that doesn't capitolize on sensationalism and negativity? (If it bleeds it leads)

Why the hell is everyone worying about how much publicity the mccanns are getting shouldnt you be getting on with your own lives? do you live a sad life or what? This ist about the parents this is about a little 4 year old girl that needs her mum and dad and family, yes i agree it was irresponsible but why the hell can you not let them get on with it?? do you feel that because its never happened to you you can rip them to shreds on here?? i think its pathetic. If the publicity bothers you then dont watch the telly or read the papers!!! It seems your life must be so sad to cut into other peoples. You say about all these other kids that go missing that the media never picks up on them? They are the ones that have run with the wind on this one. Would you, if your child went missing, say to the press no no I dont want any coverage just leave us to find her in the whole of europe on our own? I think not ....

Its statements like these that just make me think, How stupid an idiotic can us americans become? Rosie O' Donnell is a comedian so it is only right that everyone who reads this statement laughs at this, I mean really how low can one person go, she basically called our "American" troops terrorists, It sickens me to think that their are actually people who think like this in this country, And for you out their that supporst Rosie and thinks she meant something else by this statement, are all as silly and insignifigant as her.

China has discovered huge gas reserves in the southwestern province of Sichuan, hoping that the find will help ease growing concerns about energy security, state media reported Monday.

A total of 3.8 trillion cubic metres (133 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas deposits have been found in the western part of the Sichuan Basin, the China Daily said, citing officials in Dazhou city, near the reserve.

The discovery is equivalent to about 60 years of China's total production at current output levels.

The oil field is the largest discovery in the country in more than four decades, with expected reserves reaching one billion tonnes or about 7.35 billion barrels.


....I'm sure our government is salivating (and planning).

She has already stated that she only saw the man from behind.

Now if you are carrying a child, particularly one that is limp (ie not kicking and screaming) , would you not carry it in your arms in front of you?

So if your back is to someone and you are craddling a child in front of you,then it seems to me that this witness must have had X Ray eyes to be so sure that he was carrying Madeleine, when she presumably couldnt really see anything.

And if the police didnt think it was significant enough to chase up then why didnt the McCanns mention this sighting in any of their press conferences. I hardly think they have had a 3 week battle with the Portugese authorities over this information particularly as the Portugese basically took a statement and then allowed the woman to fly home without following up the lead.

Now all of a sudden it was DEFINITELY Maddie. How does that work?

Just looking through a Portugese newspaper online and it poses the question:

"Justifica-se a recepção do casal McCann por parte do Papa Bento XVI, já que em nenhum outro caso de crianças desaparecidas isso sucedeu?"
[ Is there justification for the McCann couple being received by the Blessed Pope XVI, since this has never occurred in any other cases where children have disapperared"..?]

Poll so far:

Sim/ Yes - 20.5%
Não/No - 65.22%
Nã sei - Don't know - 9.32%
Talvez - Perhaps - 4.97%

Oh the McCann camp forseee a trip to Madrid on Friday and Berlin next Monday:
"para sexta-feira têm prevista uma viagem a Madrid, e na segunda-feira para Berlim"

... because it is highly likely she is going to be in these places isn't it!!!
