But what I wanna know is how HAS dogfighting gotten so popular? What is the appeal of watching two animals tear each other apart?
Just the thought makes me shudder!!

My boyfriend has asked me to post this for him. He needs ONLY a "yes" or "no" answer. He needs a minimum of 1,000 answers in order to make a valid determination on public opinion. Thank all of you for the help. Please tell your friends to help me. And, please, no "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" to anyone. It's not a question to argue, it's your thoughts alone. One more item: it's what you believe, NOT what you see on the news or read in the newspaper. NOT someone elses thoughts, just your thoughts!!

And I'm talking about women and children. Some of the same people who want to crucify Vick for dog-fighting are also the same who say, "kill Muslims".

Israel tells Texas to jump and they get to jumping - and the Republicans are always criticizing the Senate for trying to influence foreign policy and we've got a Republican Governor doing the same.

There is one thing that gets on my wick in this place!!

Name calling - If someone doesn't agree with your opinion, instead of airing their veiws like an adult, they resort to being insultive!

Puuurlease!!!

Ok, so I know that the bloke that slipped on the tulip petal at Waterloo is badly injured and such like and it appears that the woman who owns the stall was warned several times by station managers that her stall was 'shedding' a lot of floral debris,, however, why is it that compensation can be awarded to someone when they can find a person to pin it on, whereas if I was just unlucky and slipped on a leaf in Autumn when they're all wet a slippy, I'd just have to put up and shut up? Or could I sue the tree???

"Kate and Gerry McCann have reportedly said they are willing to quit their jobs as doctors and their home in Rotheley, Leicestershire, and start a new life in Portugal,"

How bizarre. And are they using the fund to continue this rest-of-their-lifetime lifestyle? You bet. And did the people who donated money to the fund realise this at the start? Nope.

I cannot believe they are actually contemplating just living off the million pound fund for the rest of their lives in sunny Portugal and not having to work again. This will probably go down as one of the greatest scams ever pulled off.

Threaten pro McCanns with police action because of alleged stalking and abuse when Anti McCanns keep stating "freedom of speach " and keep dishing out the dirt on a family that has lost a young child? Apears to be some double standards on this very freindly site.

Please NOTE I do not agree with threats from either side of the argument.

This is a perfectly respectable and correct headline, but like the famous wartime headline "Monty flies back to front" it conjures up some unexpected images.

"We have a good relationship with them and, as well as the British officers who are in Portugal, we can feed any information sent to us back in to the enquiry through an English Speaking detective." Gerry.

1- How can that be ethical? Should Gerry be allowed to "filter" info that goes directly to him, before giving it to the PJ?
2-Has the McCanns case set a precedent that its a "lesser" crime to leave your kids alone? Wouldnt this woman have been jailed, before all this McCann publicity?

3- Matthew Oldfield said he knew the shutters were open because there was more light in the room than the last time he checked. Would the shutters really let in more light, if it was dark outside? Even if a street light was near? And he,s comparing it to what?? It was his first check of the night!

... and what did he do?
A man answering his description was seen by locals around the Ocean Club that night. The last check on the apartment was at 9.15pm. The abductor was seen carrying Madeleine by a woman at 9.30pm. The disappearance was noted at between 10pm and 10.10pm. Two female witnesses have identified Murat as being around the Club at 11.45pm. A man has identified Murat around the Club at 1am. Murat and his mum say he never left the house. He did take a phone call from the Russian at 10.30pm in his house. Off you go, then.

...yet there is nothing about the McCanns and their behaviour that is leaked.

We always hear of 'Murat under suspicion again' and Murat being brought in again because the McCann friends saw him there that night.

Yet the McCanns .......... nothing ......... as though they are holier than thou.

Seems to me someone is leaking information even though supposedly no information about the case should be leaked according to Portugese Police. Yet crucial information from the McCanns has never found its way into the public domain.

Strange that .......

No blame to the Johnson Beharry, the latest recipient- after all it is his commanding officer who'd recommend them.
Even Beharry felt it was political.

But I assert this soldier is the more serving.

I'm placing the blame on the wooly pinko limp-wristed cosmopolitan scum running the UK.

Why has only the Daily Mail (internet) picked this story up- has it been picked up by any others (I think I read it in the Times- but I read it in a hurry this morn)?

Again the point of this question is to highlight the ludicrousness of PC dogma.

Why is there a "Madeleine McCann Fund"? I just went on the site and it says there is £900 000 +, but why?
I never knew they started a fund up?
What's it for?
And what will they do with £900 000?
Is it for the Portugese police?

This is what a protest of Muslims had on their banners today outside the Old Bailey, where 4 Muslims had been sentenced for inciting racial hatred and jailed for 6 years for the Muslim Cartoon row (remember the Danish cartoons?) of the prophet Muhammed pbuh.
So, if they're not happy with how the country is policed, am I alone in thinking, go home then?

In response to an email posted by BB, Justine McGuinness claims her wages aren't being paid from the Find Madeleine fund.

Who is paying her wages? The McCanns, the government or is she doing it for free?... I don't think so.

Ms McGuinness - if you or any member of your 'team' are on Yahoo at the moment (high possibility), please confirm.

Miss Principle's - please comment, your views are respected.

When the McCann problems first hit the news opinion was divided on Yahoo answers as to a number of things. Opinion was divided, but there was a certain amount of respect for each others views.

It would appear now though that respect has totally flown out of the window and its has been replaced by total abusiveness. The anti v pro debate used to actually be quite interesting, but now there is nothing but abuse abuse and more abuse. With anyone that doesnt agree with someone elses views just being down right nasty to that individual.

Anyone else agree?

Anybody know why on the official website the total amount of fund money doesn't seem to be increasing it has been at 901,234.89 for at least the last four days that I know of. Is this because people are no longer giving or they just don't want to inform people of the REAL total amount, or obviously monies being withdrawn for flights, accomodation, restaurant bills etc ?????
