He seems like a pretty disturbed guy all around. Why do you think he is like this? Does his want of money drive him to do bad things like robbing people and writing a book about his ex-wife's death in an exploitive manner? Should he go to jail?

I decided to have a look around at the papers and the first one I decide to look at (The Sun), has a dreadful story regarding Ponies and Horses, here in the UK.

For those of you that love animals, please be aware...THIS STORY AND THE PICTURES WILL SHOCK AND HURT YOU.

I was looking through a bunch of Mark Twain quotes the other day, and darned if it didn't sound a lot to what has been happening in America for the last six years?

I hope and pray that the Bushbots will refrain from savaging Mark Twain, like they have smeared and savaged so many fine Americans, who have expressed their outrage at what has been happening during this time...

they are black and shouldn't be prosecuted. Even if racism is present in that community, does this give the Jena Six (or anyone who is black) a free pass to do what ever they want. I’m not sure what he is protesting for, or against.
I never understand why Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson get involved in these things, or rather, I don’t know why he dose not denounce the original crime.

Ok people. Is this basically what happened.

Black kids sat by a tree that usually only white kids sit at.
White kids got pissed & hung the nooses.
Then later some white kid said something and 6 black kids beat the crap out of him?
Now they're in jail and now people are pissed....

Is that the just of it?

not put so much effort into keeping Madeleine in the public eye,to most she would be forgotten, to prove my theory that most would have forgotten, I ask how many other missing children you can name? If I was misfortune enough to have ever found myself in their position I would wish to show the strength, resolve, and determination to do what is best for my little girl and not fade into the background or worst still, be so hysterical in demanding attention for myself.
Do you believe Madeleine would be such a huge topic of conversation and in the forefront of peoples minds if The McCanns had not shown such bravery?
Don't waste your time typing 'they neglected blah, blah, I don't believe people as so stupid that they could fail to grasp what you keep saying to a point of stupor.

The difference between fact and opinion is that a fact is something that is empirically true and can be supported by evidence while an opinion is a belief that may or may not be backed up with some type of evidence. An opinion is normally a subjective statement that can be the result of an emotion or an individual interpretation of a fact. For example, biological differences between males and females are a fact while a preference for one gender over the other is opinion.

Although the differences between facts and opinions usually rest on whether they are objective or subjective respectively, a fact can in some cases be subjective. A subjective fact can communicate how someone is feeling. If you tell someone that you are feeling sad, that is a subjective fact about your emotional state. On the other hand if I tell you that you are sad, this statement would qualify only as my opinion regardless of whether it is true.

A fact can safely be defined as a true belief. Because belief is synonymous with opinion, one who makes a factual statement also holds an opinion that the fact is true. Therefore all facts are accompanied by an opinion though opinions do not require facts to be held as true by those who believe them; hence the statement that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Discerning fact from opinion is often difficult, and for centuries philosophers have been trying to discover what can actually qualify as a fact rather than an opinion. This branch of philosophy is called epistemology, the study of the limits of what human beings can know for fact. Additionally, all of the modern sciences rest on the foundation of discerning fact from opinion and methodically aim to find true knowledge or fact.

It is difficult to claim that something is a fact when it is not clearly obvious, such as biological differences in gender, because facts are often proven to be wrong. For example, centuries ago the world was thought to be flat and this was held as fact by the majority of people. As we now know, the world is in fact round so the former statement is demoted to an outdated opinion. From this example we can see that those who thought that the earth was not flat were initially communicating an opinion that was eventually found to be true, which shows that a fact can almost always be challenged.

First thing I see when I open up Yahoo! this morning is that Dan Rather is suing CBS for $70 million because they made him "look bad" in the aftermath of the piece he ran on Dubya's military service. Well, gee, when six document experts refuse to verify that the "proof" you have is genuine and one of them says he's reasonably sure it's a forgery, yet you go ahead and pedal it as truth on the CBS Evening News, what do you expect? Am I the only one that think Rather is showing himself as the epitome of a whiny-butt liberal? Don't you think Dubya should be able to sue Rather for libel and defamation of character using the same logic?

I have a twin sister... (Alaia) and shes profoundly deaf... (I like to talk bout her a lot cos shes my hero!)

We just went to the store and while there she wanted to buy a drink...She picked it up, went up to the pay point and as she can lip read, better than I can talk nearly!! (lol) she looked at the woman (who was like 50..) and waited for her to ask for the money...But instead, this woman just looks at me and says it to me!!

Alaia was so angry, but as she cant speak well enough for people out of the family to understand, she just slammed her hand on the counter and the woman serving just said...Oh no shes angry, poor her..'

I couldnt beleive her ignorance, yeah, she was very angry, she walked out the store without the drink and now shes upstairs in our room and shes crying and looks so sad, which is awful, cos shes so happy...
Its not the 1st time by a long way, but I think she is just getting really tired of being different in other peoples eyes..
Help me help her!

Why block someone from answering/viewing your questions unless they have been really abusive or insulting? Some people just can't handle getting answers or comments they don't like I presume! Sad and childish if you ask me!

has anyone thought about what if the parents ARE innocent and someone actually did take maddy. that abducter is probably out there laughing their head off at us fussing over the mccanns.

i had that idea this morning as i was getting ready for work and i completely freaked me out!!

i know ppl have perceived me as being a total ***** towards the mccanns and i know i have. i just feel very strongly against child abuse and neglect. i'm sorry to anybody i insulted or offended.

i am now completely impartial (probably how i should have been the entire way through this).

just that thought freaked me out. plus maddy COULD still be alive! this abducter could be holding her somewhere making her watch her parents go though this hell and he could be telling maddy that her parents will get locked up. this abducter could easily get away with this awful crime.




anything could have happened ... nobody knows.

God bless little maddy
