Why is it that we focus mostly on the negative aspects of the world and the good aspects only get sound bites? The war, some kid fall of the rim at the Grand Canyon, this person gets gunned down on the front porch etc... Can't they find some thing more uplifting and hopeful to report on? or has the world gotten that bad?

We dont have to leave it to detectives, as so many idiots say all the time, and we dont WANT to be detectives, WE are not gullible people and can see through the pathetic screen the McCanns are putting up in their attempt to cover up.

What has the combined work of the ongoing Hate Campaign directed toward the McCanns actually achieved.
Nothing, thats what, absolutely nothing.
The sum total of all the postings made on this site by the amateur Sherlocks is a big fat nothing.
It will always come down to one cast iron fact.
the McCanns are Innocent until proven guilty and all the crap posted on here accusing them of every crime known to man is just a meaningless waste of time.
The McCanns have been found guilty of nothing.
Live with it.

For those who dont yet know, the probable scenario is this.

The Tapas 9, whose stories never made sense, who had a pact of silence were in fact on a swingers holiday.
This would be why 9 adults from different parts of the country, would book the same table at the same time night after night.
(Most normal people would do something else would they not)

The doctors have a different venue each night for their adult games, but they have problem looking after the kids.

Solution, put all the kids in one apartment. This of course creates a new problem, they are not going to go to sleep. Solution, easy for doctors, sedate them.

But of course sedating childre is very risky, should not be done outside a hospital, but its done anyway.
A tragic mistake occurs Madeleine is overdosed and dies.
Jane Tanner is either there or was there later. She may have supplied the sedative. In any case she is implicated as are all the Tapa 9 because they have been doing this night after night.

I just moved into my condo as a renter one month ago. My downstairs neighbor has complained twice to me that my one and a half year old son walks too loudly. He has now placed 2 complaint letters to his Home Owners Assn. He constantly looks up onto my balcony to see if what I have there (which is a bike, bbq, and chair) and to see if I am in violation somehow. He has had several arguments with his wife since I moved in, constantly slams doors, cusses, and now has gotten another neighbor friend of his involved. His friend has now also stated that they hear noise coming from my condo. I do not have parties, I rarely even have visitors, and their is no excessive noise. What rights does he have to take action against me? Is there actually a possibility I could be kicked out?

colorofchange.org is sending emails using this statue of LA law 14:107.2

Clearly hanging a noose is not a hate crime by law. BUT hate crime applies to the Jena 6 and the crime they committed according to this statue.

It really is difficult to remain unbiased when it comes to discussing Americans. They arrogate to themselves the right to act as this planet's policeman, to condemn other countries for real or perceived breaches of human rights and to rail against forms of government which in American eyes are less democratic than theirs. As Americans are such good Christians, surely they know the passage in the Bible that says: "O thou hypocrite, before thou wouldst remove the splinter from thy brother's eye, attend to the beam in thine own eye!" Never has a passage from the Bible been more apt. So naturally do Americans become defensive when their own shortcomings are pointed out to them, because to face the truth would be unbearable.
Which other self-proclaimed peace-loving country has waged so many wars against smaller defenceless countries, has allowed the members of their military to commit atrocity after atrocity going back to WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam, and now Iraq?
In what other country do you need to be a millionaire or at least be able to raise millions in order to be elected to parliament or chief executive?
Where else on this globe has the education system broken down and/or deteriorated to such an extent that children no are no longer able to read and write or do simple arithmetic and need to take remedial classes upon entering college?
In which other country with the exception of certain Middle Eastern nations does a small fundamentalist religious minority have the power to manipulate both government and the media to enforce a Victorian concept of morality upon an unwilling population?
I could go on and on, but let this suffice.
No wonder Americans are sensitive when it comes to discussing their shortcomings

We saw them expose a CIA officer named Valerie Plame

Exposing a CIA officer is an act of treason and it also exposed many others that were still under cover out in the field.
They exposed her to discredit her husnad Joe Wilson who had went to Niger and verified Saddam did not purchase components for WMD's like the Whitehouse said was the reason for the Iraq war. "Mushroom Clouds"

Now they have exposed a company who did nothing but research terror groups and the websites they use. This took the last seven years to develope and was an enormous tool in tracking chatter and video posts by Islamic extremists. Because of this al_Qaida is now silent on the net with little or no way of knowing what they are up to. The whole program has gone black.

How are we supposed to fight a war on terror when the Whitehouse keeps going out of its way to damage information capabilities.

America is no safer since 9/11, other thanthe fact that they put troops as targets in the Middle East

Meanwhile the Washington Post reports a group of World War II interrogators gathered on Friday at Fort Hunt and criticized the Bush administration's interrogation practices. 90-year-old Henry Kolm said: "We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or ping pong than they do today, with their torture." One of the World War II veterans refused to accept honors from the Army's Freedom Team Salute, citing his opposition to what has happened at Guantanamo and in Iraq.

A 6-year-old little girl was dropped off at school by her mother. The mother didn't realize that school was not in session that day. The lady that was working in the office told the little girl to go flag down her mother. When the girl was unable to locate her mother still outside the little girl started wondering around. She was found 8 blocks from the school. Should the school be responsible?

Left school at 17 and did a BA part time in my late 20s and then two MAs, also p/t in my 30s. Enjoyed them all tremendously and know that I wouldn't have got my current job without a BA, so it was worth it both in terms of my career and generally.

An example being that apparently the police now know that there were 7 children in the apartment. think about it, unless they have been told this by one of the group, they can't possibly know this, DNA couldn't prove this. Why is everyone so willing to believe the rubbish that is printed, and have the Mccann's convicted?

They pushed police to take investigation the way they did and they have lost vital evidence as a result - an investigation should branch outwards from parents then on to friends and so on, this would have been the most logical way to conduct case.

The parents pushed the child abduction angle and there is ZERO evidence of a stranger being present in the room - have they found any unidentified DNA? No!

If they had left police to get on with their jobs instead of pulling political strings I suspect Maddy would have been found by now or we would know what had happened.

made it public and stressed their deep regrets for their negligence on several counts and stressed how regretful they feel and showed some form of emotion and converted the LTD: company into a charity, would they gain mass support, and would even the anti's begin to show some form of respect and sympathy... OR ARE THEY TOO ARROGANT? Maybe my question is like asking a baby not to suck their thumb.
