I live in Spain and yesterday on Spanish TV was a update on the Maddy case, aparently one of the guest an investigative reporter, informed that Kate is due to return to UK with the twins because Portugese Officials are going to charge her and gerry with neglect and abandoment, Gerry at the moment has decided to stay in Portugal, the reporter also added that even though G denies it, he has proof that with the money of the findmaddie fund, the have paid off their mortgage in England and obviously their stay in Portugal. (What their mortgage has to do with finding Maddie, well maybe G can tell us). This reporter has tried 4 times to interview both G and K and they will not allow him to do so, he said it is because of the 5 questions he would like answered, he only mentioned 2 on TV one of them being about the fund money and the other about the so called check up's on May 3rd.

Yes before I get people saying "and the question is?" just thought people would like to know.

Do you trust products from China any more?
What is up with all these bad products coming from China?


Sneaky acts of terrorism?

Just careless mistakes?

They have always been bad and we are just now figuring it out?

Every effort should be made to recover the miners, but other miners should not be asked to overly risk their lives. Even if this is only a mission to recover bodies, everything that can be done, should be done.
In W.V. and Ky where I worked as a miner, Coal companies have a way to recover valuable coal that cannot be reached by conventional means and the same process if needed could be used to recover the bodies.
The process is called "mountain-top removal" and is touted as the cheapest and safest way to get as the precious items beneath the mountain-tops.
Are the bodies of these brave men worth as much as the black coal they died for

My wife and I are currently working hard on a book that is more of an investigative reporting than anything else.
Five black people in east Knoxville raped and murdered two privledged white kids from west Knoxville back in January 2007.

Since then there have been so many rumors, protests, horrible reporting, lack of national media-attention, public anger, sadness & speculation that the entire subject warrents setting the record straight from beginning to end.

Our plans are to take the reader on a step by step account of EVERYTHING - including interviews with the suspects, interviews with the suspects family, friends and employers, interviews with the victim's family members, friends, employers, etc...

My question is
(Since this happened 8 months ago) does anyone give a damn? Would anyone buy the book? With so much garbage happening in the world today, would anyone take the time to dig into this story with us?

The cold war is over. But the US is the most powerful economy and military power in the world. Russia has the second largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, and a nation which occupies 1/4 of the land surface of the earth. Of course they are going to be competitive. And, yes, America has been making many moves threatening to Russia. America began signing treaties with many former CICS countries a decade ago, and placing troops in those countries. Now they are building a large missile defense system right on Russia's border.

Of course the Russians will react. Americans go insane when a small country like Cuba or Venezuala or El Salvador or Nicaragua dare stand up to them. If Russian troops were being stationed in Mexico, or if Russia began placing "defensive weapons" in Mexico, Americans would poop their pants.

Remember the Columbine High School massacre? Well I read a lot about on the web. and I still don't understand how people can kill other humans and not even care.
Give me your prospective on how you see the massacre!!
And listen to the song "Cassie" by Flyleaf!! It so sad the story behind it all.
The story is that Harris slapped the desk twice and bent down and said "peek-a-boo" to Cassie Bernall and just shot her!! I'm going ask everyone who reads this to give a moment of silence to the TEENS who were killed.
Thank You...
Don't for get to comment!

How is this different from an "editorial" in the US press?

junkies are so used to 15% return on their money (abnormal return) during the last 20 years, and credit is so rampant (effect seen in housing market), that the only thing to keep the junkie going was another injection. Bernanke? must have flopped on pressure..He must have known better. At best he is postponing.

I just hope that inflation doesn't hit WITH recession down the road. If you have a contracting economy and inflation you usually have a depression, and that's not very good.

With all of his friends and fellow accomplices rolling over and turning the tables on him about his involvement in dog fighting, do you think that Michael Vick is deservant of another chance or do you think he should be banned forever from the NFL ??
I personally think that if he is found guilty, he should never be allowed to set foot into an NFL event, EVER !!!

No issue can be discussed without knowing background information. I decided to see what my stance is on what is happening with GWB, oil, and war. Accusations get thrown around, its a heated topic. I have a very simple question:
WHERE can I find facts that are not politically slanted on this topic? I want to develop an opinion, but I don't want to develop someone else's opinion.
If you have a fact to state, whatever side you are on, please list it. List it in all it's lonesome stark and truthful glory. I doubt anyone on here knows GWB personally or knows even a smidge of the information that is released the the president of the united states, so what do you know about this topic that makes you believe what you do? This is your chance to talk to someone who is really listening. Your information will be taken more to heart if you back it up with a source.
