Look how she cried and pleaded for the return of her two small boys:

And then she confessed to killing them.

So is it right for people to judge and condem the McCann's because they don't carry on like some people think they should?

I read a post on a forum that said "If you do not support the war on terror then you are supporting terrorism and you are a terrorist. You should therefore be subject to punishment".
Is this statement true, or is this person simply a right-wing nutjob?

I am of course refering to Mr. and Mrs. McCann. I think they have conducted themselves with the utmost dignity in a situation that would have destroyed most people. But for their strength of character and determination I am sure they would have fallen apart. May God bless them and return their beloved daughter to them soon.

It's a new day tomorrow, can we all have a week when there is no racial tension, no bullying just being nice. It upsets me to see some of the things written on here and there really is NO need for it.
This is a current event board so instead of all the awful things that some people are posting can we please just have some healthy debate, or have we all forgotten what that was ?
People will never always agree but on here it gets TOO personal and vindictive.

For me he may be becoming a tyrant. I understand his opposition toward USA, is quite common in Latin America. However I find him more a big mouth clown, than a scary character. He talks too much, and seems more in creating a "scary image", than being a threat. All image only. What do you think?

Yeah, didn't think so, given your motives are not to end child neglect but to castigate other people.

Margaret Thatcher has spawned a generation of incredibly selfish and warped people in this country, many of whom loiter on Current Events.

Makes you feel ashamed to be British sometimes.

Read Carefully My Black Brothers And Sisters - and remember stand stall and never give up!?
The new age is upon us
And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
shall stand before God!!! It has begun
The beginning of the end
Yeah..
Yeah... yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[Verse 2]
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a **** whether you die or you live
I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don't give a **** about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
***** *** black people scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window

[Talking]
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn't speak for men
So shut the **** up you mindless drone!
And you know it's serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they're fair and balanced
When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!
We don't get weapons contracts, brother
We don't get cheap labor for our companies,!
We are cheap labor, brother
Turn off the news and read,
Read... read... read... brother

Fight over cigarette leads to murder
Iredell County

Statesville police have charged a 20-year-old man with murder following a fight over a cigarette. Princeton Keon Summers of Statesville was charged with second-degree murder Sunday, said Assistant Chief Tom Anderson.Michael Staunton, 46, of Statesville joined Summers about 5:30 p.m. last Wednesday as Summers was hanging out on a porch. Summers asked Staunton for a cigarette, and when Staunton said he didn't have one, Summers struck him, Anderson said. Staunton was knocked from the porch and hit his head on concrete.

He died from his injuries Saturday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Summers is being held in the Iredell County jail under a $250,000 secured bond. --

There's been speculation aplenty over the last few days which points to Madeleine having been snatched to order and spirited away.
Lets assume this could be true, and that Madeleine is alive.
The McCanns have apparently been advised to not show any emotion during interviews in case the abductor 'gets off' on her grief.
If she IS alive, maybe its time to 'let it all out' on camera as the previous advise obviously hasn't worked?

This is going to cost me 5pts but... but before you view the photo in the link I am giving you below, please bear in mind that their kid has just been killed/kidnapped/disappeared. Bear this in mind.... then see this photo of Kate... Look at her distressing SMILE !!!
Is that the expression of a person who is supposed to be in EXTREME distress ? I think they are extrememly insane !!! POOR KIDS. They need to be taken into care.

I think if there is hope of finding the child alive, then to come out with this is putting her in danger.
I`ve not posted many opinions on this case but this seems to be very unprofessional to me.
