With no mention of the word 'paparazzi' they have just lost one reader, does anyone else (who knows what I'm talking about) feel the same?

And where are you from?

In my country (Portugal), as far as I know, TV stations require journalists to have a degree, but not newspapers.
I've been told that grade 11 is enough for you to start a career as a newspaper reporter.

It is our responsibilty as NORMAL people to report every question this sicko creates.

Someone pointed out that it's obsession with Madeleine gives the impression that he has something to do with her disappearance. I thought the same.

REPORT HIM to YAHOO and tell them to have him investigated. Every time you see a post.

Around day 96 he didn't post anything for a few days then they all came up, a lot more thoughtful, more mention of Madeleine and praise for press etc....

Do you think a PR man has got his hands on it?

They have said she is probably dead, so why aren't they saying how they came to that conclusion? at least by telling the parents?

No wonder our young people of today are going through eating disorders !!!! Why are they allowed to broadcast or write about these things? Doesnt it just give youngsters and older , more info on how to lose weight in a dangerous way? Should the media have a bad on certain issues?

you know,Maddy's parents left her with her siblings in hotel room but I have NOTHING against her parents.I just give an example..I can't speak English very well,so..it's bit difficult toexplain my question..I just think I would never leave my children on their own in hotel room.Ok,maybe for ten mins but I would not go to any restaurant...I'm not mother myself but I took care of two children(i was au-pair) and I was so protective.Would you go out and leave there?
Dont compare my question to what happened to Maddy.I'm just interested if you would leave them
So..no rude answers!

Sorry for my English,I'm non native English speaker!

Why does he feel the need to state that he and Kate are not suspects?
I know that they are not at the moment but if they ever were to be declared as suspects do you think he would write in his blog saying ' Kate and I are now suspects'?

2007-08-12 22:36:27 · 19 answers · asked by Anonymous in Current Events

I think they are guilty, I think that one of them hit the girl and killed her, I dont't think they meant to kill her but as no adult should hit a child they would be charged with murder, so they went to dine leaving the children alone, just to have an alibi and make all the abduction story up.What do you think?.

From today's Mirror - (cheers Shambo, not to piggyback off your question!)

"Kate even joked that Madeleine is probably giving her kidnapper a taste of her forceful character.

She said: "Madeleine is such a sociable child, so funny and engaging.

"She has a lot of personality. Her name actually means 'tower of strength'.

"She hated it when we called her Maddie. She'd say 'My name is Madeleine' with an indignant look.

"I bet she's giving whoever she's with her tuppence worth."

On hearing the news that police suspect that Madeleine may be dead, without informing the McCanns firsthand ....

"A family friend said: "Gerry is raging, livid, that nobody from the police had the decency to even pick up the phone and talk to him.""

He seems to get angry quite a lot when things don't go his way.

Hope something didn't make him snap on May 3rd.

well it has to be, because Kate said:

"I never worried someone would watch us, break in and then take our daughter away. Why would I?"

So if she never thought someone would break in and steal something valuable, then they must have left their house unlocked right? Because we all know that if it came down to our valuables getting stolen or our children, well its a pretty easy answer isnt it?

So given that she couldnt imagine someone walking into their place and stealing a child, then they obviously mustnt believe someone would come in and steal their valuables, in their house in Rothley.

But Im guessing it is locked. So if it is, why is it more important for the parents to lock a house which contains say a TV and a couch ........ but not important to lock a place that has say 3 children in it?

Cmon Kate, you said it yourself you could never see someone breaking in and taking something of yours, so why lock your house at all then? Unless of course you are out and out lying ....

I recently answered a question on answers that asked why people were for or against the war. Every person who was for the war cited 9/11. Are we still so diluted to beleive that Iraqi terrorists attacked us? We went to war with Iraq because they supposedly had WMD's and a possible Al-qaeda links. However recent developments have disproved both of those reasons. Is it because you all dont want to beleive that we are in an unwinable war that you hide behind 9/11 to support the war? I am deeply troubled by this. Or maybe as an inherantly racist culture we just asume that one person with a brown face is as bad as another.

I would also like to clarify before, i get crucified for my coments, that some of my best friends have been sent to Iraq (one of which supposedly volunteered, but in reality was not given a choice but instead told he was going), and thank God most came back physically unharmed. (One suffered an injurty to his hand from a grenade i beleive).

Notices being sent to Trigg County residents from CDC
Wednesday, August 08, 2007
With the daily mail, many Trigg County citizens have found a notice from the Center for Disease Control. The notice, mailed to random residents based on census data informs residents that an interviewer may visit their home to collect data and conduct an interview for preliminary data in the survey.

This could last as little as 30 minutes for a child, to 45 minutes to an hour for adults. “One of the variables in the length of time it takes for a survey is we enter all the medicines and supplements a sampled person uses.”

“If for instance, all members of a family of four are selected, we could interview a teenage child on his or her own, interview one of he parents for a young child and interview the husband wife on their own. We try to make this as user friendly as possible."

I've heard that there is no such thing as Al-qaida or terrorist in Iraq. Is this true? If so, could you please references.
