Ok well you have that right, but I will still hold you personally responsible for your choice to disagree.

Sure that would be an act of accepting personal responsibility for your own safety. A wise decision.

Take notice of this from your link:

“If my friends hadn’t been there at the time, I dread to think what could’ve happened. I could’ve been attacked or robbed."

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.....

So do you think incapacity couldn't have been a factor in Natalee's case?

Are you purposely ignoring that possibility or just not as wise as I gave you credit to be?

I know the possibility of Natalee being unknowingly drugged blows your holey boat out of the water...and you know that, too, whether you admit it or not.

I also know that no amount of facts will alter your enjoyment in smearing a suffering family. I don't understand it, but I recognize it.

Goodbye

"So do you think incapacity couldn't have been a factor in Natalee's case? "

Not at all, I have said already I think it is a possability.

"Are you purposely ignoring that possibility or just not as wise as I gave you credit to be?

This thread shows where I have agreed that is a possability so i really dont get where this is coming from.....


" know the possibility of Natalee being unknowingly drugged blows your holey boat out of the water...and you know that, too, whether you admit it or not."

Say she was, she still put herself in the position to BE drugged with the choices she made. Being drugged doesn't change that.

"I also know that no amount of facts will alter your enjoyment in smearing a suffering family. I don't understand it, but I recognize it."

You do not recognize anything. Not even the fact I have already said in this thread it is possible she was drugged.
Friend, I smeared NOONE so there is nothing to enjoy.

Many sure have enjoyed trying to smear ME in this thread with unfounded claims that have zero support when you just read the thread.

Never fear I won't have to take any abuse for similar actions since I don't believe the world revolves around me or is supposed to stop should something happen to one of mine.

If you can find any abuse from me directed at anyone regarding this other than the media I would like to see it.
I don't care if the family wants to move to Aruba permanently and make the lives of its officials a living hell I just don't want to hear insignificant events reported as "news" 24/7 for months on end. It is the media which turned this into a sideshow not the Twittys or the Dad or anyone else. Just the media.

It is also unbelievable that it has gotten away with day after day of announcing "big news in the Natalie Holloway story" only to find Gretta revealing NOTHING new or even anything of interest. Yet people tune in night after night for their dose of nothing.

Leif Ericson and Burkean signed on the same day and you signed on a week or so before. It is against Freeper rules to operate from multiple accounts on a single thread.

I am asking the Admin. Moderator to check these accounts now.

GO FOR IT bubba.

Im me and noone else.

I would bet that another may be found doing it though ;)

You can hunt and search and guess all you want to, but every assumption you have made about me so far has been wrong THIS one included.

I accept your challange.

Quotes from justshutupandtakeit:

Thanks. One cannot reason with fanatics. Particularly when they know what is best for everyone else.


Aruba has bent over backwards trying to solve this case and has spent millions for the Permanent Vacation Natalie's family has been on since her death. No wonder Americans are viewed in such a negative light. They think the entire world is supposed to stop until they get what they want.


You speaking about Gov Riley:
His is an idiot apparently looking for free facetime on Greta.

This guy must be a real idiot.

Now take your own screen name advice.

SO hows that going MAWG? Hmmm?

Your attempted intimidation backfired with the truth being on my side. That being I'm simply BSD and nothing more.

Maybe I could do like you and and go way foolish and say "GEE, You do not have a profile so that means BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Foolishness it is! Let me know how that Admin Mod convo goes ( or better yet lets all have a three way chat)so all people that read in this thread can see how foolish you are being with this.

I"ve been on the board since 1997. But turned over a new Leaf earlier this year.

Let me repeat.....

Has anyone here seen an Aruban police report? Has anyone even heard the Aruban prosecutors talks about the case before the media?? I didn't think so. The Aruban justice system doesn't try cases in the media nor does it conduct investigations with a journalist's pen. The government doesn't play the political system with media partisans like we do in this country. The only information that we've recieved from this case comes from the juandiced viewpoint of Beth. She's made wild accusations and blatantly distorted the facts in the case. The Aruban authorities rightfully want to interview many of the more than 100 students that were on that trip. Something else went on that certain people don't want us to know about. Stay tuned. Hope Greta gets it right for a change instead of beating the same old dead horse night after night.

I'm deeply disappointed that some at Fox, Greta and the MSM are using a common liberal practice of spreading half truth and innuendo instead of digging for the facts when it comes to airing BOTH sides of the same story. You sure don't see Brit Hume going down this ridiculous rabbit trail. Sorry for the rant but I hate injustice in any form.

Mawg, I'm with you. No one knows exactly what occurred that early morning but parents want to know what happened to their missing daughter. What kind of a parent wouldn't? Someone on that island knows. Obviously more than one. What will it take for any one of them to give an honest account? Forget Paulos van der Sloot. His lips are sealed. Without hard evidence, they're going to have to find the facts from one of the three culprits.

The Aruban police/justice system has got to WANT to get to the truth. With Paulos's son Joran heavily involved, they have given many of us legitimate reasons IMO to suspect a cover-up.

Again, as any experienced investigator will tell you, don't cling to your theory of what happened to tightly.
There is NO evidence of a murder. If the Aruban authorities are guilty of anything, it's not knowing how to deal with a U.S. bent on solving another murder case....ala Scott Peterson. The pieces of this puzzle just don't fit though. Not a shred of physical evidence, no eyewitnesses, dogs found no scent trail, nothing. You can scream guilty, guilty, guilty but it's entirely possible this girl was befriended by someone after 2AM and no one know what the H happened then. After trying to break these kids for many many weeks, the authorities concluded they really didn't do it. You really need to SERIOUSLY consider that Natalee is alive and in some other country. If you railroad innocent people just so you're satisfied, you are no better than the criminal that may have abducted her.
