Another publicity stunt?
And who would ask them to stand as Godparents?( Relative or not)
After all they we have only got to know about them due to their LACK of care, for their children. Can they cope with another?

Whilst there is no doubt that some criticism can be fairly made about the McCanns leaving their children alone, it is also fair to say that a lot of those comments are extremely sick and unbalanced, so much so that I personally wonder whether some people out their are unsuitable parents.
They would clearly give up very quickly if it were their child that disappeared.
And they clearly do not believe that doing everything possible is the right way to go in these dreadful circumstances..

Press Assoc. - Tuesday, July 17 05:16 am

Iran has claimed that 14 squirrels found near the nation's borders were spies. The state-sponsored news agency IRNA said: "In recent weeks, intelligence operatives have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran's borders. The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services." Iranian police commander Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqadam said: "I heard of this but I have no specific knowledge on the subject."

"Research by the Children’s Society indicates that around 100,000 children go missing each year. Those estimates are corroborated by research for the Government’s social exclusion unit review of young runaways in 2002 and by statistics from the Metropolitan police.

That means that, on average, every five minutes of every day a child goes missing in the UK."

Another source i've found says 77,000 children go missing p.a. and every piece of objective writing i've come accross on the issue so far has said that there is actually NO uniform system for tracking missing kids, nor is there a real figure known for the number of them that go missing each year.

Personally, while I did pray for Maddie, and while it is a great shame that she has not been found, it concerns me that one girl (who just happens to be a white Christian) get's so much publicity, while others are ignored.

What do you guys think?

If you send an e.mail asking questions about the McCanns fund, you get this reply (the question was asking where the money was going, as the writers Grandkids had donated and she wanted to know how it was being spent, and also asked about Justines comments about the fund being run like a charity)
Hers the reply...

Only a few weeks ago Kate said she wanted to be involved in highlighting this issue on a global platform...Shows her knowledge of the subject,NOT.
How ignorant are these two ??
Do they not realise they have made the problem worse by a factor of 1 through their actions ?

Maddy Potter?

What's that? Maddy posters to be inserted into the next Harry Potter book on release this Saturday?
Like we don't know what Maddy looks like or who she is!
Maybe Gerry is trying to catch over-rated J K Rollend up with income from over hyped manufactured rubbish.
I would boycott the pair of them.
Question is, is this just another scam to keep the focus away from the McCann's child negligence guilt?

In today's world it is sadly obvious that mainstream media is heavily slanted. Personal viewpoints have taken the place of respectable journalism and Big Business throws it's weight around with no remorse. Many people understand this, and many people are angered by this (Rep.'s and Dem.'s alike), but why do so many people continue to put up with this?

1) Why do we continue to support (consume) slanted media?

And, more importantly, is there even an alternative?

2) Are there any respectable sources of media in this country anymore?

Sen. David Vitter on Monday( Republican) denied having relationships with New Orleans prostitutes, a week after admitting links to a Washington escort service that federal prosecutors allege was a prostitution ring.

Vitter emerged from a week of seclusion by appearing at a news conference in suburban Metairie while holding hands with his wife, Wendy. He denied the New Orleans prostitution allegations and offered no indication that he would resign. He said he planned to fly Monday night to Washington to resume work in the Senate. I am a proud Republican and I am an honest man. I was just doing what the Republicans do and now that I'm caught I will do my best to be a better person.

Homer Simpson or the Cerne Abbas giant?

"Pagans have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away a cartoon character painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant. A doughnut-brandishing Homer Simpson now adorns the hillside above Cerne Abbas, Dorset, next to the giant.

The ancient chalk outline of the naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant is believed by many to be a symbol of ancient spirituality. Many couples also believe the 180ft carving aids fertility.

The Simpsons character was painted next to the figure on Monday in a publicity stunt to promote The Simpsons movie released later this month. It has been painted with water-based biodegradable paint which will wash away as soon as it rains."

I read today about a women-only taxi service and was pretty sickened by some gits claiming that this is sexist. When there are an estimated 30,000 unlicensed taxi drivers in the UK, with an increasing amount of serious sexual assaults taking place in them, how can any sensible and decent person say that providing a safe alternative is NOT a good idea?

I really think it’s only a matter of time before terrorist get a small nuclear device,
And blow up one of our coasts permanently. If not a nuke, a dirty bomb is being plotted this very second.

How can Americans still sit her and say “I hate Bush”, “The war is for oil”.
I think this country has lost its identity, not because we bribe other countries to not make nukes with incentives, and not because we toppled Iraqs government.
(Heck, we could have done that years before desert storm, when we turned back just short of Saddams palace.)

I think something has happened to where we are not Americans anymore, we are to worried about something else, what is it people?

United we stand, divided we fall.

Why does he continue to try to tie Iraq to 9/11? Why does he still imply that "Al-Qaeda in Iraq" is the same Al-Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11, when they're not? Why does he keep making more excuses and asking for more time when things are only getting worse and American soldiers continue to die for people that don't want us there?
