Todays blog:

"Our accommodation is a very modest family home and, most definitely, not a luxury villa, as was reported in one of the Portuguese newspapers yesterday. I can confirm that it does not have a swimming pool, 2 storeys and in fact was amongst the cheapest accommodation available, at short notice, in Luz in August. I would also like to point out that Madeleines fund has not paid for any of our accommodation in Portugal."

How come everywhere I turn, everything is NOT being paid for by the fund, but has been donated. If no-one is paying for anything, why do they need a million quid?

If there is so much evidence against Michael Vick, why let him cop a plea? Punish him to the fullest extent of the law.

Ok, first off im going to say that I respect all religions and that I admire the faith that people have in their God, I mean that sincerely.

However I do not believe in God. I wish I did, I would love to think that their was a heaven where my passed loved ones went too, although I wouldnt imagine i would join them, this question alone would have the gates closed against me.......

I strongly believe in science because I have the facts and evidence to show me.

The aftermath of the earthquake in Peru left 200+ buried in a church in Pisco whilst they were waiting for a service. Not meant as an insult, however in the interest of debate I am interested in what religous believers make of this. If God wanted to give a sign let the church be the only building standing........

Crushed in the house of God?.........why would that be,

So apparently someone thought my question from yesterday was racist or something, I was reported for asking, "Why is Don Imus being sued??"

I can tell you this much, report all you want, but this "racism" BS is going way too far. . .I can't have freedom of speech like Imus was properly exercising??

Monkeys. . .

. . .now call me racist. . .

This woman bought some crack-cocain from a drug dealer, and it was fake so she went to the police, told them what happened, and asked them to get her money back! DUMMY! Thats like coming up to the police complaining that the gun you were going to use to rob a bank didnt come with bullets!

I hear lots of people talking about how the United states helped start the taliban? Is this true? Articles in the internet have said that during the cold war or somethin the Us gave money to pakistan and afghanistan to start a group to help kick the russians out of there country. We usually do send money/troops to the country being invaded to support them. But, this time it backfired on to us. What do you think?

I live in Santa Barbara County, California. I often hear newscasters on TV refer to a "red flag alert" being issued. What does that mean? I know it has something to do with fire danger... but what, exactly? Does this mean I should prepare to evacuate?

A lot of people are so against surface mining. But the fact is that it is way more safe than underground mining and if the laws were enforced and the companies held responsible, there would be minimal damage to the environment from such activity. Why doesn't the government force the surface mines to clean up their act and continue surface mining instead of dangerous underground mining?

How sad is it that the media has been covering the trapped miners in Utah like they were something special.

People die at their jobs every day, and thats unfortunate, so why cover these guys...

I guess the worst part about it (and the basis for the question) is that there are so many more tragedies going on in the world and it seems like Americans don't care....for example...

MILLIONS of people dying in Africa due to hunger, genocide, aids, and poverty.

227,000 people killed in ONE WEEK during the Tsunami in 04

100,000 Iraqis killed in the war.

And all we care about are some unlucky miners in Utah ????

Can somebody explain this to me ?
