"Body Tells

Fidgeting and awkward hand movements are also thought to be signs of deceit - the assumption being that when people are lying they become agitated and this gives rise to nervous movements of the hands. There is a class of gestures called "adaptors" which consists of actions like stroking one's hair, scratching one's head or rubbing the hands together. When people tell lies they sometimes feel guilty or worried about being found out, and these concerns can cause them to produce adaptors. This tends to happen when the stakes are high or when the liar isn't very good at deception."

Stroking the hair etc? Now watch this..

Should the media be giving these Satanic lunatics attention? What is next? Is the media going to start reporting about every suicide? Has America gone insane with sensationalism?

Why do people have to be killed in order to stop or counteract something that can't be stopped like terror. You simply can't completely stop terror as long as there is one person who has a voice or opinion contradictory to what is the norm.

on the wright stuff this morning they did an article about an advert for information for madeline mccann, it had been shown in cinemas and countless children were terrified becuase she had been taken from her bed at her holiday home. the mccanns pulled the advert from the cinema reluctantly due to the severe upset caused to the children. however the advert failed to mention madeline was left alone at the time, do you think this is another act of irresponsiblity on behalf of the mccann campaign? after all these children probably think that maddies parents were in the apartment when she was taken!

I have always been against the death punishment , but I changed my mind a month ago.

In Cairo , Egypt , a street gangster - partially vagabond , partially hoodlum , partially hobo , just the type u would see constantly drinking & vomiting under a bridge - with the name of Ramadan the Turbine. This low-life figure, raped , burned , maimed , threw from moving trains , an identified number of homeless kids "between 15 & 32". He was sentenced to death sentence.

After 30 + years of being against death sentence, I think he deserves it.

Does he?

When constructing your writing portfolio for a journalism job interview, do you include editorials or opinion columns? If so, do you include controversial editorials, such as columns on racism? I am aware that applicants should not disclose their religious or political views during a job interview. However, the controversial articles receive the most attention from readers and are usually written with more passion. What do you include?

Who can give the public any idea as to why....the Mccann's haven't been taken to task at least about leaving their children???? please give us some reasonable, lawful insight.
Is it because they're professionals? because they've made such headlines?

I'm seriously intersted........ it might help put some of the concerns on this forum to rest...I know you won't be able to give specifics but as a rule of thumb so to speak...

"AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch National Crime Squad has arrested a man on suspicion of trying to extort money from the parents of missing 4-year-old Madeleine McCann by saying he knew her whereabouts."

Fact is these nutters would have been less likely to have contacted if they had not gone around different countries on a mass publicity drive.

They also appear to totally discount and disregard news from anything other than their own publicity drive - WHY?

Let's be clear about this. This question is NOT about Bush's activities. This isn't about whether Bush should or should not have commuted Libby's sentence or whether he will or won't pardon him when leaving office.

This is about NOT messing with the way things are. One of the checks and balances in our justice system is the absolute power of the executive branch to pardon or commute. The whole point of this is justice and/or mercy when the executive believes the justice system failed or where mercy is demanded.

I personally believe the President should NOT have commuted Libby's sentence. However, he did. And just because that makes some people angry does NOT mean we should do away with this part of our system of government, in my opinion.

What do YOU think?

"A toddler who choked to death at her nursery was a victim of manslaughter by gross negligence"

Little Molly was in her cot where the strings from a bag tied to her cot became entangled around her neck, causing her to choke. She was alone for 20 minutes in the room, although, staff were present in the building. The staff have been found negligent for leaving the bag tied to the cot, an obvious danger for a small child.
Now, in my opinion, in the case of the McCanns, this is just one of the reasons why you do not leave young children/babies alone whilst you are out drinking and socialising. Although we don't know what has happened to Madeleine McCann, we do know that something awful has happened and I would like to know why the parents aren't facing charges of negligence for leaving Madeleine and the twins in a potentially dangerous situation, which has resulted in Madeleines disappearance.

They are crap parents and should not get any support from us. They should be prosecuted and the twins taken off them. If they ever find Maddy (and i hope they do find her alive) i hope she is taken into care and looked after by people with a shred of decency, unlike the power hungry, money hungry McCanns.
I'll await the bleeding hearts gang saying what a nasty person i am, but i'll tell you this, if i went out i'd pay for a babysitter and i'm sure you all would too.

expect a phone call from the Cabinet Office?
"MADELEINE McCann’s parents were given a boost last night when David Miliband assured them of his full support.
The Foreign Secretary phoned Gerry, 39, and Kate, 38, in the Algarve. A spokesman said: “David Miliband has been in the job less than a week but it was high on his list.
“He wanted to let them know he’ll do all he can to help find Madeleine.”
