Do you feel sorry for someone who smokes a hit of crack and then his heart explodes and dies? I don't. He knew the risks of the drug, but still did it anyway. Same thing with Holloway. She was in a foreign country, Aruba. She was 18 from Alabama. What, her parents never taught her to not go off on a secluded beach alone with 3 foreigners on a resort island 1000's of miles away from home at 3 am? What she did was stupid. She got drunk, and left her girlfriends behind and then went off with 3 guys to a beach. I feel for her parents, and it sucks she died. But, when you do stupid things, bad things can happen. Like, you don't take a bath, and then put a hairdryer in the tub, you will get electrocuted and die. Didn't she learn these lessons as a kid. What good is teaching your kids lessons, if their just going to go off to some island and break all the rules you taught them?

In most foreign countries, the legal drinking age is 18. Her drink was drugged. People, we all know she's dead! Leave her family alone. Her parents taught her what they knew of that country. I am really frustrated by people who won't leave people alone, especially someone who didn't choose to be a celebrity because she's no longer here on Earth to tell us what happened.

I feel bad that she had to pay with her life to learn such an obvious lesson. Why was she 18 and no one had ever taught her not to go off alone with strangers in an unfamiliar place? I remember when little kids were taught that.
When you go to a foreign country, you don't leave your resort with locals you have known for a few days. That is suicide. Or at least an invitation for something really, really bad to happen.

I complete agree.
Yes--I feel for her parents...they lost a child. However, I do not feel sorry for Natalee Holloway. When she first went missing, they kept re-iterating that she was a good kid...a smart kid. She obviously wasn't because she was in a foreign country and she went off with strangers by herself--you know not to do that here...what makes you think it's okay in another country??? In addition, I don't think her friends helped her any--as a friend you don't just let your inebriated friend go off with some stranger.
It was a stupid thing she did and her friends also made a stupid call. I don't feel bad for her...I feel like she brought misfortune on herself and I cannot feel bad for someone who couldn't even follow the simple tenet of not going off with strangers...especially in a foreign country.

Here’s the one thing that makes me feel sorry for her: that her school’s administrators were stupid enough to take a bunch of kids to a foreign country without enough adults to keep track of them and worse where they were allowed to drink, and that her parents were stupid enough to think that was ok. And no, I’m not against drinking but when I was in high school-which wasn’t that long ago-drinking + school activities wasn’t allowed!
My senior class was allowed to fly from MO to FL, and you better believe our chaperones didn’t let us go anywhere alone. Nor were we allowed to be in any situations where we might acquire booze.

There are small children & women that go missing all the time. Sadly we know the outcome of her storie she will not be returning home. So the media should let the family & law agencies to their work & put photos of people who have a chance to be saved on television.

It's a perfect example of survival of the fittest, and the way evolution was supposed to weed out the weak ones.
I'm sure that most of Natalee's friends were hit on as well in the clubs etc... they'd heard the same lessons Natalee had about being street smart etc... They chose not to behave irresponsibly... She did not...
Weakest link ya know?

How mean and thoughtless. Doing stupid things doesn't cause you to deserve to die. Do you know for certain that she left willingly with those guys? How do you know someone didn't put something in her drink? You don't know the full story; she isn't here to tell her side. It's sad that some people feel she deserved to die. Hopefully one day this won't happen to one of your children. 2D

So I take it that you have NEVER done anything even remotely wrong. Wow. Where can I find you so I may worship at your feet. I'm running right now to tell my friends that the Messiah has returned.
