These kids (teens/young adults) are crossing the border into Nuevo Laredo and simply disappearing. It's been going on for a few years now? Some have shown up dead. Others are being held for ransom. Yet others have been given as "gifts" to Mexican drug lords. And yet, our government says it's up to Mexico to do something about it! The politicians in Laredo are afraid to do anything about it out of fear it will drive away business, so they just look the other way! It's amazing! And the media is ignoring it, yet spends HUGE amount of media time covering the disappearance of ONE teenager in Aruba (for example).

Have YOU heard about this? I'm curious to know how much of America and the world are even aware this outrage is occurring?

I'm really wanting to hear both trains of thought on this. I know what I think but I want to hear what ya'll think.

Would women have even been able to build grass huts?

I don't know but this is what the feminist Camille Paglia thinks.

I saw this in a TV program last night about the last World Cup:

Before the World Cup a Paraguayan footballer, Roberto Acuna, was interviewed by a young Swedish journalist during the preparations for the competition.

Later the player had his translator call the girl saying he wanted to see her that night ‘to get to know her better’.

Rather than simply saying no she then reported the case to Fifa and demanded that he be banned from the competition, claiming she felt insulted.

I couldn‘t find out what punishment was eventually given to Acuna but fortunately, as Fifa is led by the famously politically incorrect Sepp Blatter, he was not banned from the competition.

However, it seems that (most) women not only still expect men to do the chasing but they also claim the right to scream ‘sexual harassment’ if they are not interested, rather than simply saying no.

...in your view, who really was responsible for 9/11?

I wonder what will happen next, and how he would fare in a prison? Do you think he will return to his religious roots? After all, through his own example of repentence OJ could save many a lost soul. And of course he could turn his salvation story into a book, with proceeds going directly to the Goldman family. That said, I'm certain that America's football icon has many fans who just can't wait for him to join them behind bars.

Are you freakin kidding me?? Apparantley, Santa's in Australia are no longer allowed to say 'ho ho ho' because it is offensive to women. I wanna meet the woman who automatically thinks that she's being talked about when a big fat guy in a red suit tries to entertain children by saying 'ho ho ho' I think its stupid, mainly because when women protest against stuff like this...kinda makes them look like they have a guilty conscience. If ' ho ho ho' offends you...QUIT BEING ONE!! Does anyone else agree? Do any women feel offended by this?

Body language experts: 'Something doesn't smell right'
November 15, 2007
BY SHAMUS TOOMEY Staff Reporter/stoomey@suntimes.com

NBC's Matt Lauer told Drew Peterson he seemed "extraordinarily calm and collected." Body language experts aren't so sure.

After watching the interview, Lillian Glass said Peterson's hard swallowing, clenched jaw, rigid posture, shoulder movements and more left her unconvinced about what Peterson told Lauer.

Another expert, Kevin Hogan, said Peterson's rapid eye blinking could indicate nervousness -- or deception.

Glass, also a communication psychologist, took issue with what Peterson said and how he said it, including focusing on himself more than his missing wife. "When you look at all of those, your gut reaction is, something doesn't smell right," Glass said.

Sitting rigid in his chair suggested Peterson was trying to control himself, she said. Lifting his shoulders during answers suggested he wasn't telling the truth, she said.

If you watched it, what'd you think of his answers and body language? I don't believe him one bit. He almost sounds like he has given up like he said that if they find him guilty, he's ready to go to prison. Someone that wasn't guilty would definitely not have that blase attitude. Also, they would focus more on worrying about their wife not their innocence or guilt. His past wife's death is definitely fishy. I do think he killed her and unfortunately, he killed Stacy as well. No one has come forward to say that Stacy had a 'secret lover' or if she talked about ever wanting to just get away from her life especially her kids. The guy is just so guilty. He is very arrogant and not remorseful at all.

Russia could place missiles in neighbouring Belarus to counter a planned US missile defence system, a senior Russian general has said.
Col-Gen Vladimir Zaritsky spoke after Belarus, a close ally of Russia, said it would re-equip its forces with new Russian Iskander short-range missiles.
Russia says the US plan to site parts of a missile defence system in Poland and the Czech Republic is a threat.
The US says it is needed to counter missiles fired by states such as Iran.

Its now emerged that CBS are planning to show never before seen footage shot from a family friend in the aftermath of Madeleine's disappearance which tracks the McCann family as they 'search' for Madeleine.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/14/48hours/main3501086.shtml

Wowzers ............. at what point did they think filming themselves looking for a missing child was more important than say ......... I dont know ........ the friggen person doing the filming actually looking for the child themselves as well!

If it was my child that went missing, the last thing I need is a family friend filming my every step while Im desperately searching for my child. But then I didnt want to become a TV celebrity either.

These two make me sick.

An Irish tourist who claimed he was 99.9% certain he saw Madeleine in Bosnia has been proved wrong.

Didnt that lady in Belgium who 'spotted' Madeleine also claim she was 99.9% certain it was Madeleine?

Well that's remarkable odds to dodge bullets that 999 times out of a 1000 would hit their marks, not just once but twice. Even the lottery has better odds.

I wish people would stop with the 'certainty' with which they claim to have spotted Madeleine. Gerry and Kate already know she is dead, they must be laughing at these fools who think they have spotted her.

I'm not trolling- I'm just as ignorant as all get out. Frankly, I don't get it. Why should this girl not be allowed to wear her religious bangle?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/7091186.stm

What harm is there in a bangle? Should a school have the power to decide this?

Where I live I see recent and not-so-recent immigrants in all sorts of articles of religious dress. I don't assume they're Anti- American; I believe that they are expressing their right to religious freedom and should be given the same tolerance as people who wear Crucifixes, Stars of David, or yamulkes.

I believe that one of the issues on the table was the possible refunding of donations to people who are unhappy about the fund being spent on mortgage repayments and " living expenses". How much do you want to bet that these refunds never materialise. There is no way that team McCann will ever let any of their precious money be returned to the kind and honest people who donated it in good faith. They can hardly even bear to spend it on looking for Madeleine, (probably because they know where she is and that she will never be found) I just wonder what their comments on the matter will be and what spin Clarence McMitchell will put on it. Has anyone heard anything.

Why is it all fashionable now to care about Darfur..that really came out of nowhere..people just completely forgot about their Tibet obsession, and picked some other random country to be the new, trendy thing to care about.
So when these people get sick of caring about Darfur..just like they got sick of caring about Tibet..what do you think the new, cool, 3rd world country will be?
