Stated differently: If lenders are disconnected from the debt borrowers as was done in subprime, how can that be considered a good lending model?

The idea was to capture bin Laden, not subdue the country and establish "democracy." Is there a valid reason why we're still there in light of the Taliban resurgence?

A child abuser who is being sent back to Jamaica says it is an infringement of his human rights to be sent back because Jamaica come down hard on paedophiles!! Well done Jamaica.

In a less than convincing 'Christmas video message' from Kate McCann to her missing daughter Madeleine, Kate assures “Be brave sweetheart”.

How on earth is a poor defenceless 4 year old child meant to 'be brave' ? and is this what the McCanns said to the children when they left them alone every night as they went down to guzzle copious quantities of wine at the Tapas Bar with their child neglecting mates ?

Do these two cretins make you as sick to the stomach as they make me, how on earth are these no-brainers still allowed to 'parent' children ?

For posting a question " Brits, creators of the modern world?" i get the question removed as a violation.

All i did was list a series of UK inventions, including the Web, Computer and English language, and waited for people to either agree, disagree or partly agree with the content, which they have every right to do!
give a violation? Is it because this is a USA Q & A site?

Why am I still looking at pictures of her in newspapers 10 years after she died? Why can't people let it go and let her rest in peace? I hate the fact people are still profiting from a woman who lost her life in the spot light, with pictures of her untimely death posted all over the press. Leave it alone, let her rest.

Under Justine McGuiness the McCann positive PR machine was rocxky but generally kept their public image intact, and the general public sympathetically on board. Despite her expenses row.

But since Clarence Mitchell took over he released a series of far fetched stories to the media which just came across as McLies, he allowed the mortgage scam to get out, he allowed the director of Metodo 3 to open his mouth with a series of dumb claims about finding Madeleine, he allowed the McCanns to go on National TV and look like McLiars, and now the PR machine has fallen flat on its face that 'the McCanns banned Xmas'

Isnt it time that Clarence went back to defending Gorden Brown, with all the trouble he is in, rather than ruining the McCanns lives any further ?

I believe that george bush created 9/11 on purpose just to go to war. There is just to much evidence that shows that they could have planned it even though it sounds crude and wrong. Money talks in weird ways to politicians. I do not feel free or even safe at this point in my life.I think we all need to open our eyes and look at the true enemy that is right next to us. Bush knew that we would just point our fingers at iraq just because they were in the planes. The pentagon was bombed no matter what they try to cover it up with. 2 four ton engines i think can make at least a little hole AT THE LEAST. But no, there were no holes at all except the amazing hole that the plane supposedly made. The plane does not even fit the hole. Evacuations in the WTC before 9/11 tell us that they coulc have planted bombs. Another thing about the pentagon, how do they only show us these little 5 images shown on this webpage? http://patriot-american.com/documents/92.html

Have you ever heard of a case like this before? Two male football players being assaulted in a rather personal way by two females?!

It's just wrong!!!! As are all sexual assaults. But this one is particularly weird.

US is becoming a debtor nation: What R the possible consequences of that fact?Can anything good come from it?
Pls, I want economic and socio-economic consequences if you can argue them. Mere assertions don't help to understand fully what is happening to the US. Skip the Q if you have nothing substantial to contribute to understanding what it means!

I remember simple african amiercans like Nippsey Russell, Flip Wilson, etc who knew their places in society. It now seems you have these Uppity african americans who think they know everything and are smarter than everyone else. Am I correct, or not?

Thanks - Merry Christmas!
