So I turned on the news for 5 minutes: what the hell is with Aruba

[LynneSin]

That's all Fox & MSNBC wanted to talk about. At least CNN had Bill Maher on Larry King and they mentioned that there is a Gold Star mom camped outside of Bush's ranch

1. yeah...he said something to the effect that the world wouldn't give a shit

if it was a minority girl missing... white girl missing! stop everything!

[Swede]

4. Have you ever seen anything about missing men?

They go unnoticed no matter what ethnicity.

6. I wanna know what the hell her parents were thinking when they let her go

on that trip at her tender years. If a minority parent were quilty of that level of poor judgement, they'd probably be up for child endangerment.

7. wait, my mother allowed me to go to Mexico when I was 16....

..and that was another school group. And yes, we bought booze and even drank it down there. But pretty much we were watched over most of the time (cept when we snuck out and bought tequila).

Now I know, that was the mid-80s and the whole world was a happier place, but seriously parents letting her go to Aruba shouldn't be the issue

8. and you were`lucky.. The Lion does not eat ALL the antelope

but the lion WILL get ONE of them..

Teens are risk takers, and most escape..Natalee ran into a Lion:(

11. There ya go

More parents need to realize the world is not full of people who are as fond of their kids as they are

[Swede]

2. Cindy is on the news more up here on CBC

than is on CNN.

[BattyDem]

3. I am so f*cking sick of Aruba!

I'm very sorry that the poor girl is missing and probably dead. Her family must be going through hell and they have my deepest sympathies. :-(

But ... IT IS NOT NATIONAL NEWS!!!!!! :grr:

[blm]

5. That's how you know the RW is scared of all the real political news out

there.

9. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Baracuda!!!!!

[Talismom]

10. I had exactly the same response to the tv tonight! It's just nuts! n/t
