why arent we trying harder to modernize and fix africa. yea, we pour billions of dollars of aid into the entire continent. but most of the countries have corrupt leaders that wouldnt use that money to help the country. why dont we just pick 1 or 2 countries, the countries with the most promise and the best chance to become modern and help them. that country would in turn be able to give alot of aid to the countries surrounding it and the problems in africa would be solved alot faster.

why dont we actually try harder to fix it. africa has about 2 billion people that live there. if they had access to modern technology and were living in the same conditions we are in the united states or in western europe the world would be alot better. wed have 2 billion more people able to contribute to the advancement of technology and science.

It was one of the bloodiest days of olympic history. I have already seen the documenatry once but want to watch it again ONLINE and in english. It was first broadcast on the BBC and made as part of a storyville production. Black September could have been the name but i don't have a clue.

But people who delibrately go out ( male or female) and end up rolling drunk . Falling in the street why should resources be used to pick them up . Shouldn't they be left where they drop? and serve them right. No matter what happens to them?

I'm not saying it is ok to put dogs to fight but people in the media and in general have been usung the word "Animals" when they talk about the cruelty so are innocent deers not animals? Although bears are wild most of the ones being shot and killed are innocent. I could understand if it's going to be eaten but poeple kill deer just to hang up their antlers and stuff. Does anyone agree or can bring up an argument?

I like how this newspaper headlined the article:
Idiot alert - Tonight on Dateline NBC

Be sure to read the responses posted by readers. The #2 entry by Walter Ruch is probably exactly what happened.

I have thought about putting this question out for weeks, see what you think.

I could never understand why he was ever a suspect, but now I'm glad he is.

Think about these. He was over in the UK just days before the McCanns visited Portugal. He was possibly only a very short distance from them, and they may even have had common friends.

Over the months we have heard stories over a man seen lurking in the bushes, although not resembling Murat.

Murat's girlfriend apparently knocked on an appartment door nearby wanting to discuss her faith, but showed interest in a young girl in there. This was according to her mother.

Months ago I read an article about some DNA evidence of Madeleine in Murat's villa. How on earth did it get there?

We might all agree that paedophiles will work in teams and be cunning. Perhaps Murat was not the guy who actually lifted her. Perhaps he wasn't!

This is all circumstancial, but doesn't it get you wondering about him?

How could Maddie just VANISH?
Someone, somewhere must know something. Surely this day and age with all the fingerprinting and DNA technology available a child can't just Vanish into thin air?
If Gerry and Kate are guilty of anything why haven't they been charged yet, why isn't there enough evidence against anyone?

What are the police saying about this crime? Have they admitted to negligence at the crime scene or not?
