I have a son who fought in the Middle East and is a Paralyzed Veteran of America. He has soldier buddies visit him often & when he's hospitalized in a VA hospital I get the opportunity to converse with many soldiers. Believe it or not guys, they don't all think we should be in Iraq. Most of them think we should still be in Afghanistan.

Awwwwwwww, and here's me thinking you wanted to have a reasonable, educated, adult to adult debate?

Let me just get this straight? You can post questions naming individuals on here and then make your Q&A private so that those people cannot respond to you?

How is it possible to have a debate if you only allow people with the same point of view to answer your questions . . . ?

Why on earth would the countries most famous richest model want to go out with a smelly scum bag like Doherty? Does she have no self respect?

I know they are apparently "Finished" but it's not over, not till the fat lady sings, and there is no fat between these two stick insects.

Any Ideas, why she'd actually sleep next to it, let him in her space and kiss his filthy mouth?

About child abuse, child neglect and child protection?
I will take time out from my essay writing as I feel the need to share some information and do a bit of community education (YA community that is!!)

but firstly I would like to take the opportunity to thank those people who posted messages of support answering 'I have no names's' recent posts (too many of you to mention!). Don't worry - I am used to it and the attitude does not bother me in the slightest. It just reminds me how different the perspective on issues can be if you do not know the facts (and rely on the daily mail for information)

Social workers do not 'kill' children

They also cannot always prevent abuse occuring - this is beacuse, unlike agencies like the police, they cannot go around in cars and on foot patrol 'looking' for abuse. They rely on information given to them by way of referrals. They can only protect children they are aware of . . .

Lloyds chemists, Coventry's biggest pharmacy was broken into over night, the robbers got clean away with some 500 bottles of viagra.
the police later confirmed that investigations are on going and they can confirm they are hunting a hardened crinimal.

The amount of holier than thou comments Ive seen from people telling us to stop giving the McCanns a hard time and demanding that we oppologise is unbelieveable!

Why cant you people see what is front of your faces?

How can you support people (regardless of if they are involved or not) who are as stupid enough to leave their small children alone?

How will YOU feel when they are found guilty and all this time you have supported them?

The facts are there, the coincidences are there, all the things that just dont add up are there.
Lets face it, you've only got to look at that Gerry to know his concience is not exactly clear.......

at the prospect of returning home? Of entering Madeleine's shocking pink bedroom which colour she herself chose?

For those who accused her parents of living a celeb lifestyle off the fund and of also more sinister & darker moves, now that you know that the McCanns lived off their own personal finances, do you have the grace to realise that you are not the law?

i have known a guy thru a social network for over a year. He lives about 45 minutes from me by car . we've never met up but i would like to, we write eachother funny messages and he seems to share my whacky sense of humour. I have invited him to see a show of mine but we never arranged anything. He is a few years younger than me but both in our twenties. Will he ever ask me out or is this a silly fantasy? we also went to the same uni and did the samecourse altho we werent there at the same time. He writes nice good length messages ...

I felt so bad that the rescue workers will killed trying to save the miners. But, I'm just so sad that they couldn't get through to the men that were either trapped or died in the mine. I would hope that they could find a way to get to the men or at least there bodies for the sake of the families.
