GIVE IT A REST

Quote From: karasmom

We make time in our lives for all our children. If we must split up for the weekend, we do.  If we must take turns, we do.  And you are so wrong about which kid would be chosen over which.  For instance, my oldest son actually plays in a Basketball tournament Sat.  Kara has a huge show Sat. I will be taking my son to the game, while my husband takes Kara or vice-versa. He also plays during the week.  My husband takes off work early or comes straight to the game and meet us there. And WE DO NOT MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF KARAS PERFORMANCES. 

To Kara's mother:  For heaven's sake, quit trying to justify your pathetic behaviour.  If your family life is so perfect and if your daughter has no problem with what you're doing to do, then why even go on the show?? 

  

 

Parents like you just kill me.  You go to any lengths to give the impression that this whole thing is your daughter's idea and that you "only want what's best for her."  In reality, you want the glory of being a parent to a superstar, admit it.    I've known women like you all my life.  You remind me of Rose's mother in the movie Titanic.  She would go to extreme lengths to make sure that her daughter married a rich man, not that she cared about what her daughter wanted----it's what she, the mother wanted----glory and prestige.  And you're no different.

WHY IS THE HUMAN RACE SO SICK?!

I was absolutely shocked when I watched this program yesterday.  I knew, of course, that these girls had gone missing but when they started talking about what goes on in these sex-slave rings, and what they do in these "snuff" movies, I had to turn the channel.  I started to cry and I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it.  I had no idea that anyone could be this disgusting.  How can human beings do this sort of thing to one another? 

 

I give the gentlemen, who's helped rescue more than 30 Americans from this sort of fate, great credit and he should be given a medal of honor or something from the government.  It's a shame that George Bush hasn't invested even a tenth of the funds he's invested in war, into helping stop the sex-slave industry. 

 

My heart goes out to moth Natalee and Amy's mothers and their families and I pray that your daughter will be found alive.

Oh Brother..

Quote From: aruba78

I have read so many negativity about Aruba and her people. It makes me sick to see the story of the dissapearance of Natalee Holloway being twisted in such a way without even knowing all the facts surrounding this case (the investigation which is still an ongoing as a matter of fact!). Yes, I am a resident of Aruba, yes I have followed the developments in this case and yes this IS an ISOLATED case, something like this has NEVER happened before on this island! Just for all the people who hear just ONE side off the story and base their conclusions on that information only, here are some facts and questions that I would like to share, just for you to think about it....  

  

As soon as Natalee Holloway dissapeared every possible available resource was used to try and find her. Me and many of my collegues went actively looking for her here on the island!!! The Dutch military, the Aruban law enforcement, the voluntary search and rescue, everyone who could help did get involved in the search for Natalee! And yes, the FBI helped in the investigation TOO, we even had F-16's from the Netherlands flying over Aruba to help in the search!!! Despite all this effort until this day there is NO trace of Natalee Holloway. So now my question, with all this help why are the Aruban people being blamed for not finding here? Another strange thing in this case, Natalee Holloway came to Aruba with a large group of students and chaperones. They all left Aruba without her, knowing she was missing! The local authorities didn't even get a chance to interview them and get their statements! Actually I find it quite strange that just moments after Natalee was reported missing her family came to Aruba in a private jet, claiming Natalee was kidnapped, so I ask myself: what information did the family have that the local autorities didn't have? 

  

Let's put all of that aside for a moment; the 3 boys who were last seen with Natalee were indeed arrested, and yes, later released, but in the Aruban judicial system you CANNOT keep someone imprisoned if there is NO EVIDENCE of a crime even being commited!!! To make sure that the judge in this case was impartial, a judge from another island was flown in to handle the case!    

  

I just cannot understand people talking about boycotting a whole island for 1 case in which the locals have done their UPMOST to be helpfull. There are so many strange things surrounding this case. So many unanswered questions.... One of the reasons the family of Natalee Holloway gave for even asking for a boycott of Aruba was because the 3 suspects who in their opinion KILLED Natalee, were released from prison. So now I really cannot understand this supposed new twist, if Natalee is alive, as they now believe (and I really hope she is) what are they now basing this supposed boycott upon????   

  

I have to say people can talk about boycotting an island which happens to be one of the SAFEST PLACES on earth! I am 100% SURE that those people who are even mentioning this are those people who have never even been to Aruba...  But hey, I am just waiting to see the supposed new developments in this case, and really hope that this time both sides of the story will be told. And as this is a blessed island, I really think the truth will come out some day, and life will be as peaceful as it always was and will be on our 'one happy island'.... 

What planet are you from buddy?  What, are you suggesting that her parents had something to do with her disappearance?  You're pathetic.  You'd want a boycott on the country if it were YOUR daughter that went missing.  Those three boys should have NEVER been released.  They were the last to see her and they admitted to others that they had all had sex with her just before she disappeared.  They lied their faces off to the authorities.  The whole thing just reeks of corruption and a coverup. 

 

I for one will never set foot in Aruba because of this and I hope many other Americans and non-Americans do the same thing.  When the island starts to hurt over lack of tourism, then perhaps the powers that be there will actually get off their butts and DO something about this case.

Amen!

Quote From: lindaind

When you said yesterday that you were trying to get all of the United States to boycott going to Curacao and Aruba, I think you should contact the press in Canada, I am sure that the people here would boycott.  My husband and I were thinking of Curacao just a few weeks ago - absolutely not now! 

I will tell you the best piece of advice I ever received was when I was in my early 20's and thinking of going to Jamaica for my first ever vacation.  A male co-worker said "with your blond hair and ice blue eyes, they would pick you right off the street and you'd never be seen again".  Ever since then I always stay on a resort and never travel alone. 

You've got that right!  I'm a Canadian and I will NOT be travelling to Aruba after seeing this on Dr. Phil yesterday.

DON'T LET CHRIS NEAR THAT KID!

Oh man, that guy with the rap sheet a mile long was pretty darn scary........he claims he's a "changed man"?  Ya, and I'm the Easter Bunny.  He's crazy and I wouldn't let him within a mile of any children.  He was just barely keeping control on the show and you got to figure if he's struggling that hard not to flip out on the show with millions of people watching, what's he like when the TV cameras stop rolling? 

  

He looks like he's capable of just about anything.  While I'm all for giving people a second chance, you've got to show that you've changed.  This guy is angry, definant and ready to flip.

I AM DISGUSTED.....

I really think that these child pagents should be banned----completely.  These parents, like Bonnie, love to give the appearance that it's the child that really wants to be in these pagents when we all know that it's the MOTHERS that are pushing them to do this.  Bonnie said that if her daughter told her tomorrow that she didn't want to do the pagents any more, then "we would stop."  Bullcrap.  You said on the show that you've "invested ALOT of time and money in these pagents" and that you expect her to act accordingly while on stage because you "don't think that's too much to ask."  So Bonnie, if you're getting upset because your daughter isn't behaving the way you think she should before she goes on stage, do you actually think that anyone believes that you wouldn't be furious and angry with your daughter if she wanted to quit? 

  

I was shocked when I saw pictures of your daughter and your excuses were the same pathetic ones that Patsy Ramsey would mouth when people openly questioned her about dressing her daughter like a prostitute.  Patsy Ramsey said "....it's only a few highlights in her hair" or "..it's only a little bit of mascara."  You sound the exact same way.  Your daughter looks like a prostitute thanks to you.    The fact that your sister and your mother both are disgusted with the way she looks speaks volumes and it's something you should listen to. 

  

When my daughter was 5 years old, we were approached one day by an agent wanting me to consider entering her in a beauty pagent.   Because of her extraordinary prettiness (long blonde hair and large blue-violet eyes) he thought she'd be a winner.  I'm sure he tells everyone that.  I refused his offer because I do not want to subject my daughter to heavy make up, sleazy clothes, fake tans and false teeth before the age of 6.   I wanted her to be a NORMAL little girl who gets scrapes and cuts and bruises.  I don't want her to think that her looks counts for more than personality.  Teaching her to help others, being kind and charitable count far more than looks. 

  

You need to re-think your position.  Quit pretending that this is something your daughter wants-----it's YOU who wants this and it is extremely selfish of you.

02/16 Trouble in the Spotlight

Quote From: tinarl73

I THINK IF YOU DON'T DO PAGEANTS THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HOBBIES WE DO. PEOPLE ASK WHY THE FAKE HAIR, MAKE UP, ETC. WELL WHY DO MOTORCYCLE RACERS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR? IT'S PART OF THE GAME THATS WHY? MAKE UP AND HAIR IS PART OF THE GAME LADIES. THERE IS NO HARM IN PAGEANTS. WE ARE NOT OUT TO HURT ANYONE IT'S JUST THAT WE DEFINE THIS AS A HOBBY JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. THERE IS MORE FIGHTING AND BROKEN BONES IN SPORTS AND I WOULD SAY THATS HURTING SOMEONE. BUT THIS ISN'T HURTING ANYONE. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT UNTIL YOU'VE TRIED DOING A PAGEANT, DON'T KNOCK IT. I'M SURE IF YOU PUT YOUR CHILD IN ONE AND SHE WON THEN YOU ALL WOULD BE THE SAME WAY.         

Oh pu-lease, who are you trying to kid??  Motorcycle racers are ADULTS!!  Would you let a 5 year old get behind the wheel of a monster truck or motorcycle?  No??  Gee why not??  Maybe because they're for ADULTS??  Here's a clue:  heavy make-up, false teeth, wigs, flashy sleezy clothes are for ADULTS----not children. 

 

This is NOT "just a hobby" so don't give me that crap.  Its a sick obsession by the mothers who are trying to live their lives through their daughters and they don't care what it does to them.

THIS WOMAN IS NUTS

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that Dr. Phil has never had a beotch for a mother-in-law.  I love Dr. Phil, but I do not agree with the way he kept putting some of the oneous on the daughter in law.  This is NOT the DIL's fault. 

  

Dr. Phil, there are some women in this world that are evil, evil, evil and this woman is one of them.  She has a sick obsession with controlling her "little boy" and views any woman who "comes between them" as competition.  In other words, she's viewing her son as a mate instead of a son. 

  

I watched her sitting there, smirking on the show and I felt like slapping her.  And of course, everyone else is a liar except for her.  Yeah, right.  I wonder if the old bitty knows how pathetic she looked on national TV.  If she's reading this, I would really like to say that NO ONE believes you and you're really a disgrace to the human race. 

  

If I were the DIL or the son, I would report her to the police every single time you see her sitting out front of your house.  Carry a video tape with you if you have to; bring charges against her.  This woman should be locked up from decent society.  People like her just make me sick.
