that B. Hussein Obama is a Black supremecist/sepratist?
I found it interesting, he ditched his black supremecist church and spiritual advisor shortly before he began running for president. The website for the church is a little extreme and scary. so why does everyone trust this guy with so much to hide?


here is just one interesting article on it, if you google the words, you can find a ton more info

A short sharp shock should be delivered to discourage them, not a soft option to ease them into crime.
This government is failing the people on issues of crime.
Trying to keep empty places in prison is not a valid reason for a teenage thug to go happy slapping and get off by writing a letter to the victim.
Only for a first offence??? How many times have we seen thugs being given yet another last chance? It's a joke.
I firmly believe that this government is a waste of our money.

Lambasting other people when I have faults and foibles of my own?

I mean take the McCanns. Ive been a big critic and people have told me to take a look at my own life before I criticize. So I did just that and realised that:

a) I havent left my son to his own devices while getting drunk with friends.

b) Havent turned a tragic affair into a big circus in which family and friends get rich off the back of a missing child.

So from that point of view I probably do have a long way to go before the bad things in my life comes anywhere close to matching those of the McCanns.

;)

I'm stunned by this - wouldn't you want to ensure your child was protected and safe, and do everything you could to make your death 'easy' and understandable for them, rather than killing yourself and taking your child with you?

LONDON (Reuters) - Half of Britons think it is okay to target civilians in war, according to a survey commissioned by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

I personally think I would go mad being a stay at home mum, but I only work part time so I get the best of both worlds

Would you be happier staying at home or do you prefer to work as well as being a parent?

In summary, a woman who was a meth addict killed her infant baby, in addition to the actual killing the baby was found to have had previous injuries including 11 broken ribs and fractures to her ankles.

But do you know what she did? She tried to blame her 7 year old son for the bite marks discovered on the babys body before overwhelming evidence convinced her to come clean.

Then just to top it off, this womans father came out of court to say:

"No, it is not fair, but life is not fair - she is a good person," Mr Christensen said."

I mean WTF???? His daughter killed and not only that but abused for her entire life, his granddaughter and yet she is still a good person?

This whole family needs locking up. I hope the stories of what goes on in prison to child killers is true, cause this woman needs a severe seeing to. It will be a hell of a smaller punishment than what her daughter ended up getting.

In the papers today we have a case of a prisoner who was released early from prison only to kill his Girlfriend days later.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=501317&in_page_id=1770&ct=5

The man had previously served 5 ..... yes 5 .... jail terms before he was put in jail for attacking his girlfriend. However before that sentence was due to finish, he was released early due to overcrowding issues.

He then killed his girlfriend by beating her up so badly her own mother barely recognised her.

Now my question is this.

The man had served 5 jail terms. They had only been together for 10 months in which time the girlfriend called the police 5 times about his violence. He was then eventually jailed for that violence, but upon his release he moves straight back in with her.

I've read people on here put others down for the paper they quote as though their info source has a monopoly on the truth.

Which do you trust and which do you think are rubbish?

You keep hear her banging on about her husband, how she couldnt live without him. How she mentions him in every show she does because she's so upset about him being in prison.

Then she has the nerve to be upset because she is turned away again from the prison for turning up late.

If youre so enamoured with your husband who's in prison, you make sure you allow plenty of time to get to the prison so that you can spend every moment with him. For her to have turned up late multiple times for her visits says it all about how much she cares about her husband.

The girl is full of c**p. And for those who say she is a brilliant talent. The girl can sing. Thats it. Apart from that, she is also good at fuelling crime by funding the drug lords with paying for overpriced cocaine to shove up her nose and shes also good at setting bad examples for other young children. What else is she contributing to society? Not bloody much.

I like this quote from the article:

"The McCanns will be particularly disappointed at reports that Jose Manuel Pacheco, the Roman Catholic priest who befriended them, has ordered every trace of the Madeleine appeal removed from his church of Our Lady of the Light.

Friends of Fr Pacheco said he could no longer bear to discuss the case.

"He says it is an extremely unpleasant situation and the McCann family only ever brought him problems.

"He even told one friend they ruined his life.

"There are two completely different Pachecos, the one before the McCanns and this shell of a man after the McCanns. He is a nervous wreck."


.... Seems it wasnt just only Madeleine's life that the McCanns destroyed. Still they'll have a nice Xmas with their 2 children and not the loud, outspoken Madeleine who apparently could be 'very naughty' according to Kate.

Is it common for a business or group to pay money to have a news article that is favorable to them published? When I read a newspaper or a magazine it seems like a lot of the stories are slanted. (The story is one sided and both sides of an issues are not being presented.) Also, many times I can't figure out why this article is even being published. Thank you for your answer.
