With the story that the BBC and ITV news heads have exchanged strong words over the McCann coverage, to what extent should the media speculate on a story where hard facts are few ? and if they dont speculate does a story go cold and fade away ? (exactly what the McCanns themselves dont want to happen)

JnJ Sues American Red Cross
Current mood: enraged
Category: News and Politics


I want to call a National Boycott of Johnson and Johnson products!!!

JnJ has decided to sue the American Red Cross over use of the Greek cross. JnJ filed a lawsuit against the American Red Cross and four of its licensing partners for "unlawful conduct" related to the nonprofit's use of the Red Cross emblem. What a shame that a multi billion dollar corporation wants to bully a charitable organization that helps Americans and people all over the world in times of need. I cannot fit everything I want to say here read my blog at: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=43297455

Well I heard about the killer from the late 1960's to the late 1970's that killed alot of teenagers in the San Francisco area.
Also, did the cops ever figure out his real identity?

Kate McCann said her faith in God has been shaken by the abduction of her three-year-old daughter.

If there is a god, what faith would he/she/it have in a mother that abandons her 3 young children to go out eating and drinking for the evening ?

In my way of thinking, this man has shown every sign of being a cretin not fit for human discourse, much less adulation as a sports figure. Read the article and give your opinion:

I've recently read about the 2006 Mahmoudiya incident, where Army personnel plotted a murder and rape of an Iraqi girl and her family. I've never been so upset and appalled in my life. I think that Americans that commit gross crimes against humanity in other countries should be tried in the courts of said countries. Meting out 100 year sentences, with possibility of parole in as little as 10 years is hardly justice for the survivors. I dont' consider myself to be a total pacifist, but at the same time I think that when such crimes are commited against innocent civilians, they should face the laws of the land - whatever they may be. There is no excuse for premedidated murder and disregard for human life - such as the killing of a five year old by shooting them in the head.

if we pull out of iraq, some say that there would be another attack like 9/11, some say that if that happens, it is because Bush angered them or that we were better off in iraq because we were protecting our country from attack and when we pulled out, that we let the terrorists have a free shot at out country, what do you think???

I caught only part of this on the news this morning and I am unable to find it on the internet.

A mall secutiry guard saw a dog locked inside a car in this heat and smashed open the winod w, saved the dog. When the owner returned, he handcuffed him to the car and went to get help for the dog. People saw the man handcuffed to the car and beat him up.

Anyone know where I can find the story?

I cannot find it on any of my local sites.

First one with the correct answer gets "Best Answer"

you would think they would appreciate them more having gone through IVF to have them. sadly not. a live in nanny when kate only works one and a half days a week, caring more about getting p***** than staying in with their kids, beaming smiles while holding up a t-shirt of their missing daughter, leaving the twins in portugal whilst they went on a european tour, leaving the twins in the creche every day up until last week, the list is endless.....
by the way im not pro or anti mccann, just pro finding maddie
