Like they said it was not terrorist related but the weird thing is the bridge was tested last year and was said to be good to go until 2020, so why the hec did it collapse? Tell me what you think! I think the Media/Government only tells us what they want us to hear!

Hes lost his job, his chareer is pretty much over, he gave money to the school to use at there disposal, he publicly apologized. the rutgers accepted his apology publicly. DO we live in a society where we have to bury him into the ground to the point on non existance? then will that be justice? How much more, and how much longer does he have to pay the words he said on the radio?

Now hes being sued by one of the players for defemation of charachter and slander? She feels he was pointing out her as an individual. I do not think she will get anything, if this even makes it to court.

what about Michael Richards? the comedian who flipped out on 2 black guys? possibly 10 times worse?. he apologized and it is now forgotten.

your thoughts?

Finance guru Earl Matthews (founder of aid4families.com) has set his sights on revolutionizing the pension plans of several countries. Like many of his brethren, David Filo and Jerry Yang (founders of Yahoo), Larry Page and Sergey Brin ( founders of google), and Chris Dewolf & Tom Anderson ( founders of Myspace), a generation that grew up under the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, seem determined to change every aspect of society. It seems odd that while we are talking about the government being involved in universal health care and at the same time private savings accounts and privatizing pensions. The government may get your teeth fixed until you are 90 but the money for food to use those teeth on will be up to you to find. Do you support universal health care and do you support public pension schemes relying on "for profit" fund managers?

I'm from Ireland and I find American news too commercial and not taking journalism seriously.

Print news is similar, but TV news is very flashy with a lot of graphics, and the amount of commercial breaks is annoying.

Also, interviews are short and really only have sound bites with the reporter then quoting parts of the interview, which could lead to misinterpretation of taking things out of context, which both conservatives and liberals seem to do alot.

So, what do you think of American news?

For all the decent kind caring lovely folk who use this site.

I have just received a lovely email from them asking how they can help me as i've sent them email after email about the abuse that me and the others girls and guys have been getting on here from trolls and basically nasty folk who can't just debate without the usual vitriol, so I sent them back an email on behalf of all my friends and contacts here telling them what we think they should do one is that they they should inform us before suspending an account for no reason other than someone taking a dislike to us so that we can appeal what do you think guys?

Is there a point when the police have to file the case under unsolved. More importantly, is there a point when the McCanns go back to work. For all the people who will knock me for having no sympathy please read this first. I would never have left my children like that. I believe that is is neglect and I think that they should be punished for it instead of blaming the Portuguese police for most things. I find it obscene that they are now raising their family in the sun with other peoples money, freely admitting that they will continue to do so for as long as Maddie is missing. They have a responsibility to provide for their twins, having already let one of their kids down. It is their own attitude which is leading to conspiracy theories linking them with some involvement in this, and the sooner they go back to work and some sort of normality, the better. anyone agree.

Be held to task over incorrect reporting concerning the Maddie enquiry?

They have repeatedly reported as 'fact' rumours and speculation surrounding this case in a bid to sell newspapers. what do you think?

This is one of those things thats been bugging me.

Why, when Kate, Gerry and the rest of the holiday party are all medical people and would be fully aware of the importance of preserving the crime scene did they allow anyone to enter the apartment after they realised Maddie had gone missing?

appollogies if this question has been asked already but i'm new to this...
I dont want this question used for a pro or anti McCann slanging match please, i genuinly want to know if i'm missing a bit of info here.

Chief Insp­ector Olegario Sousa referring to the investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance:

“Never has there been collected so much evidence in a crime scene by specialised teams as in this situation.”

This was part of an official statement. If it is true - why the hell haven't they solved it yet?!

Anyone else find that claim ridiculous?

Have you noticed how Madeleine McCann has been on the front page every day for the last few weeks? I think the Express may actually have got over Diana and found someone new!

N.B. I am not an Express reader, but I work in a newsagents so noticed it while selling it to the awful people who do read it.

That the resort was so safe she didnt give it a second thought that the children wouldnt be safe.
Yet the Portuguese media are reporting that Mark Warner staff actually approached them and informed them there are cases of burglarys every month, and asked them to take babysitting.
So she must have thought of safety, even if only burglaries, as a child would be mortified to witness a burglar in their room.

I want to gauge parenting practises.

Do you or would you leave your child/children in your hotelroom/apartment to go out for a meal/drinks?

I'm not looking for anyone to slag off the McCanns or each other please just answer honestly whether or not you do this on holiday or would do it on holiday.

Is their some drug that causes mass STUPIDITY in the water supply?Doesn't the zero tolerence for free speech by any opposition there set off any alarm bells? If not, then they deserve that meglomaniac BOZO.
