Current Events - September 2007

I have never understood all of the criticism against her. She ran/cycled and raised a lot of money for charities and there were even people who would phone her at home and say she was lying about having cancer. How cruel is that. I wonder how those people feel now...

Doing all the things she did probably prolonged her life as she was given 7 months to live so why did people dislike what she was doing..?

Can we really be positive over this? There was the case of the girl and boy out in Australia that caused a lot of doubt in people's mind when the body of the boy was found and the girl had claimed that they were attacked or something like that by a lorry driver. The man was later found but the girl was a suspect for a very long time and later proved innocent .

We have literally been bombarded by the media with all aspects of the Madeleines disapearance and now Kate and Gerry's suspected involvement.

What single thing has most swayed your opion of the whole McCann case ?

are proved wrong,
what would they feel...?
Shocked, silly, let-down ...um.."NAIVE...at worst"...

BUT if those who DO accuse the McCanns of murder, are proved wrong,
what would they feel?
Would GUILT for the vindictiveness they have vent on an already grieving family,
rent their hearts & eat at their lives forever?

Which category would you wish to fall under?
Um...people who sit on the fence, generally get poked...

We read that the whole McCann saga has divided both the UK and Portugal and even Europe into 'Pro' and 'Anti' camps.

Have you ever known anything like this before in your life time ? which camp have you fallen into ? Has the issue caused divide even among your friends and family ? and what is specifically that divides you ?

Now's the time to convince the Indonesian Muslim Extremist that the earthquakes they are experiencing is a message from God telling them to convert to Christianity.

A few years ago, they exploited the tsunami as a message telling them to favor Islam.

How would you exploit an earthquake?

I am very much anti-violence. I didn't like the idea of going to Iraq, and I don't like the idea of staying around there. But does anyone else think it would be a HORRIBLE idea to leave right now? I mean, we went over there, uprooted the one thing they had going for them (peace, albeit at the cost of freedom), and now we want to leave the place in shambles? The US overthrew their government, unsecured their borders, destroyed their peace, and now it seems like we're leaving them in their greatest time of need.

I think America should stay involved, at least to restore the peace we uprooted. I heard that over 100,000 (some or many innocent) Iraqis have died because of our ideas, the least we can do is help them rebuild.

I also don't think we should force a specific government on them. If they want to have a constitutional monarchy, or even a regular monarchy, isn't that up to them and not us?

Please be kind to me. I'm just wanting to get others opinions, not start a answer war.

when you post a question, and later on you check to see how the responses are coming in, you get a message you can't answer your own question, how many of you are doing so anyway??

Yes, your politicians and the corporations are making major cash on this. Yes, the war is for oil. (Which war hasn't been for resources or US interest?) But more deeply, we messed Iraq up, promising Iraqis liberation and a better way of life. (Again) Which of you - especially those of you who've been there - think abandoning them to civil war and ethnic violence is what right looks like? If our dead friends could speak, would they appreciate the political blather?

The police are stepping up the pressure day by day. Now the McCanns may even have to give away their twins to the authorities.
You think they will break down under the pressure and confess?
In case you find time, here's a poll:

My take is, they'll break sooner than later.
But dish up another strange story.

he was trying to tell people not to worry because the Americans are "winning" the war. Even though the most important US army general in Iraq said we are losing, Bush still claims in his speech we are "winning" and will continue to "win". what do you think of Bush's speech? is he lying just not worry americans about the losing in iraq or do you think he is telling the truth and we are actually winning the war in iraq. Your thoughts please...

Also he said by this christmas more than half the troops will go home i know a lot of people are happy about this especially the anti-war people but do you think that will be justifiable in the long run?

(The US Army's highest-ranking uniformed officer has warned that without more men and money, his active duty force "will break" under the strains of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

I think Bank of America has gone too far. I think people wil avoid their ATMs and use other ones.

B of A is hoping other banks will raise their fees as well. What do you think?

Surely it would be a simple procedure to get hair samples off the McCann twins and get them analysed by toxicologists?
That way, G & K might be exonerated of the accusation that the twins were continually doped up to the eyeballs...

The Public and the Media have really been backing this story in a big way. Why? I'm not too sure. She is, as people have already said, no different to any of the 20,000 children that go missing every year. I personally hope/believe that Madeleine is safe somewhere, and that nothing to macabre has happened...however... Can you even begin to imagine the mood of the nation if it transpired that, as some Portugues papers have said, Kate McCann is indeed involved. I mean, what if she had been involved? We would all be taken as mugs! What concequences would prevail?

Can I have other's opinions please?

In his book "The Day of Islam", author Paul Williams asserts that Al Qaeda has already smuggled in multiple nuclear devices (at least 7) and is planning to explode them simultaneously in the following cities: New York, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
Has anyone else heard about this 'American Hiroshima' plan? Does anyone think it is something al Qaeda could pull off?
