First, please let me start this by saying that I know they were wrong for leaving their children so you don't need to tell me that in your answer. That's been covered and YES they were wrong, stupid, neglectful and whatever else

What I would like to know and I do believe in honesty.

Do you want the McCanns to be found quilty or connected to their daughter going missing? As I said, apart from the fact that they left the children, do you want to see the McCanns accused of possibly murdering or covering up an accident that involved their little girl?

I said I believed in honesty. I don't believe that they had anything to do with it. The questions that have been asked on here have accused them of some horrible things.

Forget the fund, forget the posters & wristbands or travelling around meeting people. Just a yes or no would do (that's asking a lot I know). I'm not saying you can't have an opinion but please don't go over the facts already covered.

Many thanks

This is only to do with the neglect issue, not any other issues that may or may not be proved later.

I think a suspended sentence would be appropriate along with community service. I think its important a criminal record is placed on them so they learn their lesson as they clearly havent since at worst they were 'naive'.

For weeks now, we've been busy posting regarding little missing Madeleine McCann.
Just thought i'd clear up one thing for myself.
Most of us do not condone children being left unattended.
It was a terrible decision by the McCanns & they know it now.

That said, can someone please tell me why on earth would the public who are not privy to details of the investigation
continue to hurl stupid, cruel accusations or murder/ hiding evidence against Madeleine's parents?
The media has a lot to answer for, with regard to the rumours being spread but surely the general public should
use their brains & see stupid journalism for what it is and refrain from joining in the witch-hunt?

I'm appalled at the complete lack of compassion & empathy, displayed by people who don't even know the McCanns personally
enough to get involved in the search for their Madeleine but brash enough to make wild insinuations about them.
Accuastions about them murdering her & hiding evidence (without any proof whatsoever)
Accusations about them living a celeb life off the fund (which is now refuted)
Insinuations about Gerry McCann's "guilt" with references to his personal blog.
Inferences that Kate doesn't look "sad or sorrowful" enough.

Have Gerry & Kate McCann been dealt with justly?

Don't confuse the 2 issues now...
i do not speak of leaving their babies unattended (leave that to the law);
i speak of the accusations that the McCanns murdered their own Madeleine & hid evidence.

he gave the fitness blog a break today and has started talking about Maddie.

"Sometimes people do things for reasons that even they cannot understand. An act of madness, an accident or sudden impulse can lead to consequences that people may never have imagined or intended"

do you think he is preparing for his insanity plea?

"Please come forward, return Madeleine"

Is this the first time he has asked for his daughter back on his blog?

I wonder what has changed. Why this sudden change in tone?

(I can hear the violations approaching)

India has invited defense contractors to enter the bidding contest to supply 126 new war planes in a deal that is expected to cost the Indian treasury $10 BILLION.

Yet majority of the Indian population do not have clean water to drink.

Every day hundreds of millions of Indians bath, clean their clothes, wash their dishes, brush their teeth and drink water that is laden with bacteria, industrial and agricultural runoff, and untreated sewage, including both human and animal feces.

How can a government which is the inheritor of the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi make such a choice?

When will the Indian people grow tired of literally eating excrement and demand more from their government?

I was in a big debate about Iraq and I was saying what a colossal waste of money and blood it was. We have no objective. Then it just came out of my mouth that I would rather free Cuba than Iraq. And I would. Plus, it makes a whole lot more sense.

So I was searching for some information about the “man”, and found this funny information, its a list of how rich is Mr.Bill Gates and come to think of it, Gates sure is the luckiest man of earth. He has all the money in the world and why Mr.Gates did not register his own domain name for www.billgates.com, now we know why Mr.Gates is no match for Google. So much for the title “King of Computers”

1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!

2. If he drops a thousand dollars, he won’t even bother to pick it up because during the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back.

3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion dollars, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.

4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.

5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.

6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.

7. If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes , you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth.But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.

8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven.

Last but not the least the best one!!

9. If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years.

You can't read anything or watch TV or listen to the radio any more without someone pompously telling you what you should do or think about some issue.

I love this country- I served 10 years in the military, and I am a staunch defender of democracy. I am struggling though...At what point do we unite, and take our country back from the weasels who run for office, or do we just give up and leave. By that I mean at what point do we try to fight the beast from within (wihich is quickly becoming illegal) or from the out side?

I heard about that new french president, Nicolas Sarkozy. I also heard that he was a pro-american. I was just wondering if this means france will be joining either of our wars. Or if france will be engaging itself into any wars by itself. If they do enter a war does this mean they might lose there surrendering reputation?

I feel sorry for Miss South Carolina. everyone makes mistakes.

What would your answer have been?


mine would have been:
the americans who can't locate the US on a map are the ones that didn't pay any attention in school. They are the ones that didnt even try to get good grades. They probably dropped out of school when they were 16. After they realized that they really messed up their lives, they probably started doing drugs and drinking; and now they can't even locate the US on a map.

...

or:
they were looking at the map upside-down.
