Current Events - November 2007

Where does the interest from the Madeleine "mortgage repayment" fund go? It does not go into the "fund" itself. Are the McFraudsters using it as private income? The interest should ammount to approx 1500 pounds per week. What exactly is being done with this money? Where is it going? Is it another McSwindle? Why are the McCanns and their board of directors so backwards in coming forwards with detailed information as to how this money is being spent. Surely if they had nothing to hide there would be no need to be so secretive.

'The Internet is providing loners with something they never have had in the past, a demented peer group that they can be part of without actually having to hang around with them'.

Taken from a 'Mirror forum' link I read on a YA! question this morning.
It sounds about right after reading what some people post on here on a daily basis!

with the Family / Working Tax Credits system which is means tested?

It seems parents who claim child benefit are being labelled scroungers, but do you know anyone who doesn't claim it, regardless of income?

Is it best not to answer a question about child benefit if you clearly know nothing about it?

Do you think these cousins really dishonored themselves by

Do you think they sent all the child benefit details standard 2nd class mail? Surely they should have sent it registered considering it contained such important information.

Its very newsworthy and considering the way our teenagers are being brought up these days very current as well...

Got this on mail & just had to share it!
Share it with your teens & have a good laugh & learn!!!

"Teenager's Complaints
My son came home from school one day,
With a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that's taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today,
The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,
don't have to cut my hair
No one can tell me what to think,
or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,
and regardless what you say,
I don't have to bow my head,
and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,
and pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like,
get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,
I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up all my charges,
with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,
my body's only for my use,
not for your hugs and kisses,
that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,
like your Mama did to you.
That's nothing more than mind control,
And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,
so you can't influence me,
or I'll call Children's Services Division,
better known
as 'C.S.D.'
Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was
to toss him out the door.
But the chance to teach him a lesson
made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept upon my face,
he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping
at the local Goodwill Store..
I told him, 'Pick out all you want,
there's shirts & pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D .
who said they didn't care
if I bought you K-Mart shoes
instead of Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment
to take your driver's test.
The C.S.D. is unconcerned
so I'll decide what's best.'

I said 'No time to stop and eat,
or pick up stuff to munch.
And tomorrow you can start to learn
to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,
and wait till dinner time.
We're having liver and onions,
a favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,
to watch on my VCR?'
'Sorry, but I sold your TV,
for new tires on my car.
I also rented out your room,
you'll take the couch instead.
The C.S.D. requires
just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,
I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that you used to get,
will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,
dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',
It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,
Why are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out,
instead of C.S.D..?'

from a MOM (Mean Old Mother)"

I don't chose a certain presidents, and agree with everything they say. I might like something a republican says, and might like what a democrat says. Only stupid people choose and believes in everything one person says and does. Why don’t we have a congress just come with ideas if we should go to war, foreign exchange, economy, ect....and the people vote for it. We would have to work on the idea a little more, but do you get what I’m trying to say?

why vote in one person that we might not believe in half the they say. it’s like trying to order a burger, and having to have the combo with it when you don’t want the fries and soda

They would have made a two hour special if and IED went off and killed innocent civilians. But now we finally have peace coming about, Iraqi citizens cooperating with intel to free their country of ruthless murderers, and the media has nothing to say about it. The way I see it, the democrats (and the liberally slanted media), has a whole lot to lose if Iraq becomes a success and for that matter, anything that Bush has initiated. All of the bashing and hate spewed by the libs will eventually come back to bite them and its sad.

Not claims - not speculates

Admits

Bush and Cheney exposed CIA officer Valerie Plame

Bush
:If I find out that anyone in my administartion lied about exposing this agent, I will fire them"

Remember that!

Remember "Iraq is an immanent threat and "has" weapons of mass destruction"! (not including the mustard gas we sold to Saddam)

How many lies are we going to allow!

2 lies - A breach of National Security and starting an unprovoked war

An act of treason

An act of taking America to war with an unarmed Country and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people - in our names!

Vote Ron Paul

End the war
Bring the troops home
Flush the corruption and foreign lobbyists out of Washington
Save our Freedom
Save our Nation

and most of all

Stop the lying and deceipt that are hiding behind a banking lawyer created wall of secrecy!

If we do not act now our Nation will fall as well as our Freedom and way of life!

Vote RON PAUL

'Imagine' was on the radio and one of the lyrics goes, 'imagine no possessions.' Isn't this a bit rich from someone who cruised around in a white Rolls Royce and isn't this sort of hypocrisy that has created a malaise in today's sophisticated youth who can see through this false sentiment?

The Inland Revenue and Customs tax collecting department of the UK Treasury have lost the personal details of nearly half the population.

This includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, Bank and Building Society details and more.

Assuming that this information will fall into criminal hands.
If you were a criminal how would yo use it?
