Current Events - July 2007

With only 8 days away, I think Potter fans know where they will be before and at midnight (standing in line) but after that, where will you be? Will you read yourself to sleep at home, or sit with all the movies playing one after another?

Come on people, Sounds like someone has a "DEBIT CARD" attached to our account and the debit is made to appear as an ordinary necessary expense. What crime of opportunity has occured(usually asscociated with a change in" hand")

But of course, if enough of you remain employed with "SSSSSSocial Security Taxes,"being taken out of your paycheck on a study and consistant basis.; and don't complain because you want to believe :
It is' going into your own private little "cookie jar"
That it is worth the sacrifice to live from "paycheck to paycheck;;" bearly able to eat, pay the rent , buy gas ..so, you have FUN ,sex, eat , watch tv,..and play those darn Video Games! and just look forward to the day you" think" you are going to retire and draw social security...
With all these '"Fatal Distractions " and being "TAX IGNORANT"....I suppose it would be very, very easy for; whom ever ELSE is running this country,other than who is suppose to be running this country to view you as a...POC

I don't mean to offend anyone with this topic but I seriously would like to know. What exactly is it that al Qaeda wants? With the media stretching and confusing everything I want to know what exactly is going on. Is it just the USA that al Qaeda is aiming at or is it everyone? Do they want to take over the world or simply scare everyone? What is going on?!

We are going from one side extrem to other side of fanatism. Although I believe we have to fight back against terrorism, we shouldn't support dictators government who are terrorizing their own people in the name of fighting the "real terrorist". The good example will be, Ethiopian's self elected dictator governmnet who stole people's vote after massacring innocent people in Addis Abeba, Bhair dar, Jimma, Gondar, Diredawa, Gambilla and Wollayita. What do you think?

If you live in London very soon you will have to pay 10p in TAX for every plastic bag. FANTASTIC!!! Can't wait to see what is next. Don't you think this should be top down and they should implement solutions first rather than reach for the TAX button? But did you really expect anything else? We have been saying it for years. Global Warming is the best bandwagon in the world to jump on when you want to raise TAX.

This is just the begining people.

Around 850 Sudanese refugees have fled to Israel via Egypt and the Israeli foreign Ministry states: 'We are committed to helping these people.'

Many of the refugees are being given housing by the Jewish Agency and other organisations in Israel. They are being provided with new homes in the village of Ibim.

So why do people on this site keep claiming that the opposite is happening? And why has Sudanese Interior Minister Zubair Bashir Taha publicly condemned Israel for helping? He says that the refugees who have fled will be prosecuted!

Israel is doing her best to help and just gets condemned for it - it's absurd.

"The two boys gave us bags in Ghana to bring to London, to give to the boy in London. It was basically like a set up. They didn't tell us nothing, we didn't think nothing, 'cos basically we are innocent. We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff, we don't know nothing."

All the double negatives- "we didn't know nothing" = "we knew something" doesn't it? So her denying it is technically more like a confession.

I realise this isn't what she means, and everyone knows what she is actually saying, but if I were going to deny a crime, I wouldn't string together a sentence that technically meant the opposite.

Does anyone else find this odd? And could this sort of thing ever be used against someone?

We all agreed to disagree and debate sensibly over this after we all had a mass cyber brawl and got about 100 violations each last month!

Name calling stopped and we listened to what each debator had to say.

The only thing the majority all agree on is that they neglected their children by leaving them...after this it all goes pear shaped with talk about money, class, colour, aunt Philomena, speculation etc etc...thats what divides people on here, its not that the pro McCanns support leaving young children alone, thats not it at all. I could count on one hand the amount of people who have said it was ok to leave kids at that age. Its comments like McCann lovers, McCann fan club think its ok to leave your kids that causes the problems. It the witch hunt.

Lets clear this up.
If you agree the McCanns were neglectful to leave their children yet you are called a pro McCann, whats your reason for opposing the 'antis'

My problem is most of the comments are not based on fact.

For Madeleine McCann, they were free for the taking, the shop weren't profiting from it in any way.

Although I found the initial out pouring of greif and the 'yellow ribbon mania' a bit sick, the fact this shop owner is still giving them away made me slightly sad.

What if it transpires that, as many suspect, there is more to the whole thing than meets the eye, how will all these decent and well wishing people feel? Are they being taken for a ride by the McCanns

If, as it claims, the reason for the US invading Iraq was to 'liberate' the people from Saddam and find the weapons of mass destruction, why is it now pressurising the Iraqi government into handing over control of the oil from state control to US multinationals? Could it be that control of the oil was also a reason for invading?

All the people on here who love the mccanns how can you justify the fact they NEGLECTED 3 children. I want Maddy to be found safe and well, but she would not be missing if these terrible people had got a babysitter. There seems to be a divide on here and if you slag off the Mccanns you have no heart? Thats not true, most of the people slagging them off cannot believe how negligent they are.
Also the way they have carried themselves since is appalling, especially Gerry. Not once have they admitted they were wrong or neglected their children.

Well todays news story about the McCanns seems to be about how the 3 friends of the McCanns who were flown back from Britain to clarify points in their statements have apparently accused Murat of being near the apartment shortly after the alarm was raised. Murat claims he was in his mothers house the whole time.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/13/wmccann113.xml

But here's what I dont get. The 3 friends of the McCanns all claim to have seen Murat. Yet strangely no-one else that is not connected with the McCanns has made this claim.

Also we know that this is Murat's 2nd round of interviews and that he was brought back in the 2nd time so that he could meet the friends face to face to discuss the discrepency. So if 'other' people had also made the claim that he was there, then he would have been brought back in a lot more often to confront those people as well.

A couple years ago (borrowing a USSR communist title Czar) Bush created the 2nd in Commander-in-Chief position of "War Czar" to take overall command of the War on Terror, meaning the War in Iraq (though never the twain shall meet)

We haven't heard anything from him since. and I never see his name anywhere in the news.

Anyone see him lately? Shouldn’t he be pretty prominent with all the news from Iraq and Afghanistan, the surge in full swing, the September deadline approaching, the GOP re-election rats abandoning the ship etc.?
