It wasn't even hit by a plane. The goverment controlled media (Fox, CNN ect...) tried to whitewash this fact.

And why do these people feel that the right to freedom of speech is an entitlement and allows them to infringe on the rights of others?

Is there any truth to the statement that within fifty years, the Mexican border states and Southeren California will be part of Mexico.
This statement was made by a politician who evidently has a crystal ball.
Seriously though, considering how many Mexicans live in this area now, it may as well be part of Mexico now.
I read in the news a couple years ago that a McDonalds restaurant, in one of these states, which was run by Mexicans, would not serve white people.
Those of you ,that live in these states, have fifty years to learn Spanish..............................

And what about the hypocrisy of saying drug users should be executed, all the while taking massive amounts of painkillers for which he had no prescription?

Instead of just telling us what's going on with the weather, they feel compelled to create BS shows like "It could happen tomorrow!" (Impending doom!! Everybody RUN!!), and Storm Stories. Don't the american people have enough REAL weather tragedies to deal with without having these morons at the weather channel create their own 'what if?" tragedies? I frankly am disgusted and believe that we should start boycotting the "Make-Believe Weather Channel"!!

I know none of us can understand what the relatives of those miners are going through or are feeling since we are not in their shoes. However, I wonder what the odds are that anyone is still alive down there after all this time? Each day I check to see what progress they have made, hoping that they have found them. I know one should never give up hoping but now with this latest tragedy, I'm starting to wonder about it all. If it was a relative of mine, I would not want to risk the lives of others just to retrieve the remains. But how can you tell if they are not alive for sure? I would say, close that stupid mine and let it be the memorial to all those who have died. I guess as long as there is a glimmer of hope and the rescurers are willing to put their own lives on the line to find out if they are alive, they should keep going.

My heart goes out to those that are waiting, those who have lost loved ones and I am thankful that I do not have to make these kinds of decisions

.....has been snubbed by Posh - which was the headline news article on the Yahoo homepage.

Has anybody else received any crushing news today which they are also struggling to come to terms with?

How am I supposed to go back to work and concentrate with the knowledge that there are such injustices going on in this world? Im thinking of ending it all now to be honest.

Does anyone know who the last person to see Maddy other than her parents was, when and where they saw her?
I know that the parents where chatting to a friend Najoua Chekaya, in the hour before Maddy went missing, but did anyone actually see Maddy in the apartment before the parents went out for their meal?
A friend of the McCann’s Jane Tanner is reported to have checked on the children, did she actually check properly and see Maddy or did she just presume Maddy was in her bed, when in fact she might not have been, we all know that sometimes when you check on children you might just listen to them breathing in their beds, if she just saw the bedclothes she may have presumed Maddy was there, when she might not have been?
How many times have we known our children to put things in there bed to make us think they are in it if we check, when in fact they are not in their beds at all, most parents have experienced this at some point. Jane Tanner is reported to have seen a dark-haired man of about 35 carrying a child as she walked back to the bar afterwards but didn’t think anything of it. Which is what makes me wonder just how observant this Jane actually is and if she actually did see Maddy in her bed?
I am playing devils advocate here and not trying to cast aspersions of any kind, it is just my curious mind, looking at every angle. I would like to point out that I am not making accusations against anyone here.
It is after all reported that the witnesses have given evidence that conflicts in one way or another.
I wonder if we will ever know what really happened to Maddy, and like everyone else I have prayed for her and hope that she will be found. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/349543/maddy_mccann_my_nightmares.html

So apparently someone thought my question from yesterday was racist or something, I was reported for asking, "Why is Don Imus being sued??"

I can tell you this much, report all you want, but this "racism" BS is going way too far. . .I can't have freedom of speech like Imus was properly exercising??

Monkeys. . .

. . .now call me racist. . .

I'm from Ireland and I find American news too commercial and not taking journalism seriously.

Print news is similar, but TV news is very flashy with a lot of graphics, and the amount of commercial breaks is annoying.

Also, interviews are short and really only have sound bites with the reporter then quoting parts of the interview, which could lead to misinterpretation of taking things out of context, which both conservatives and liberals seem to do alot.

So, what do you think of American news?
