Wonderful parents do not leave their young children alone in a foreign country. Neither would they leave the two younger ones in a nursery and jet off around the world. The children would be taken EVERYWHERE with them for the fear of been abducted also.
You obviously know nothing about being a kind, loving parent.
I bet you dont have children or you would most definately think differently!!

Oh well, I still have this one, I'll just create another back up now lol.

I wonder if Rachael Oldfield (shes one of the Tapas 9) will still moan today about how unfair the media is and the leaks from the police. If you don't remember her, she was the one with the 1 year old who wasnt with either her or her husband when they were having dinner with the McCanns.

I can only assume that means she was left in the creche or other suitable means. I doubt she would have left a 1 year old all alone in a room ............. that would make her as bad as the McCanns.

Buried in an article about harassment of foreign reporters in China was this:

Conditions have improved, according to two reports issued in the last week by Human Rights Watch and the Foreign Correspondents Club of China. But both reports concluded that the government has not lived up to its promise and that reporters continue to face harassment, detention and stonewalling, especially in rural areas of the country where officials are either unaware of the new rules or ignore them.

--

What is ALWAYS ignored, in China the central government does not have the strangle hold on the provinces and local officials like the western press assumes. That to change age old practices of harassment of the news media will not happen overnight.

The provinces in China are autonomous, in some respect even more so then in the states. That when Beijing hands down an edict or law, it does not mean the local officials are going to go lock step.

Attached is a load of manure claiming North Korea won the war. Opinions?

Anniversary of Korean People's Victory in War Observed
Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The Songun Group posted an article titled "Warm congratulations to the DPRK on its victory in the Fatherland Liberation War" July 27, the 54th anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the war.

The homepage said the Korean War was a just anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. war to achieve national liberation and win the class struggle and a war which defended socialism and global peace and propelled the world revolutionary movement.

The Korean War clearly proved validity and vitality of the Juche-oriented view on the war that the victory and defeat in war depend on the ideological and moral advantages, not on weapons, , adding the might of the Songun idea was fully demonstrated through the war.

President Kim Il Sung wisely led the Fatherland Liberation War against the U.S. imperialists to brilliant victory, performing great exploits for the Korean revolution and world revolutionary cause.

The director for political affairs of the Pan-African Movement in a statement July 26 noted DPRK's victory in the Korean War was a historic miracle and a world-startling event, adding the Korean people under the leadership of Kim Jong Il would always emerge victorious.

Would it be a major distraction?
It obviously would be predicting that America elects a fairly young President/First Lady ...unless medicine keeps going in favor of living longer and giving birth later in years.
Would you want to be that child..?.....He/She would grow up in front of the cameras like JFK Jr....not sure I would want to do that....you?

Does anybody think Catholic Priests not being able to have sexual realtions contributes at all to Paedophilia in the Catholic Church?
I personally think these people would be Paedophiles anyway.
I don't think being a Catholic Priest can make someone a Paedophile, I think it is the individual man.
Any other opinions on this?

Why do the proPalestinian people say the terrorism aimed against Israelis like suicide bombers and Kassam missles is a direct result of a so called "occupation"? Just the other day,I found out there was terrorism against Israeli citizens long before 1967 war in which the Israelis occupied the West Bank,and even before Israeli came into existence as a nation in 1948. So that being the case,how can terrorism be a direct result of the "occupation"?

John Pilger talk. Good stuff. Answers are always welcome but it be nice if a couple of you bothered to read or watch the talk. It's all about journalism and liberalism... you know, how they are both characterized by a dangerous delusion that they are worth a dam.
