Why People who suspect the McCanns get so angry at People who do not.

that's awful and I have every sympathy for you

Thank you.  I was a baby so never knew him.  Fathers Days are particularly difficult

That maybe one of things that affected my thoughts for and care about others in this world, particularly the effect hat the actions of others has on children

its even worse if you are baby as your father wasn't there for you growing up

I would criticise ANY drunk driver - my father was killed by one

I've been driving for 8 years, I walked home from the pub one night (quite drunk) & my neighbour asked me to move my car a few feet so he could park. I tried reversing & had almost no sense of left or right. It was like trying to operate an alien spaceship.
Never tried it again. (Don't drink anymore anyway).
Sorry for your loss.

Even worse than that, davel, I was actually only 4 days old - and have no photo of him holding me.  That is one really sad fact for me.   And as I was the first child, I have no brothers or sisters... therefore no nephews and nieces, therefore my son has no cousins.  The effect off these things is a rolling ball, or the ripples of a pebble - whichever likeness you prefer.

So drink driving, for me.... an enormous NO!

I was brought up not drinking, WS, perhaps understandably.  I rarely drink now although when my son and his wife are here we will have a bottle of wine with the meal. Things like this have an everlasting effect, as I am sure you can understand

I rarely don't know the right thing to say but this is one of them

Me too, christian upbringing which is why I now worship Satan.
I worked behind a bar for a while & seeing the state people regularly got themselves in helped put me off drinking.
There were some who would drink all evening then drive home. Shocking.

Don't worry - I have got used to it over the years!! I rarely talk about it unless it is relevant.  If you start telling us you know you are right and everyone else is wrong again, I will remind you!!!  People are created by their experiences among other things

 People certainly are created by their experiences. I was foolish enough to take part in a tv programme featuring men who have younger wives. Someone has taken my 5 minute clip and posted it on you tube...it has 150,000 views. Despite the fact that we have been married 12 years and have three beautiful children the comments are appalling with people having nothing better to do with their time than post vile comments about others...perhaps thats why I don't like to see the McCanns criticised

alcohol and drugs are the root to all evil ...

Thanks, Benita. 

I think many things are the root of all evil actually!  And drinking in moderation I have no problem with although, as I have said, I rarely drink myself.  But drinking and then getting in a potentially lethal machine is another thing altogether.  There is a reason, for example, why the rules about pilots drinking are so strict.

But we digress, maybe....

Depends which drug. Tell a terminal cancer patient not to take morphine because it's evil, I think they would say cancer is the evil factor.

My husband died at quite a young age.  I was totally devastated.  Everyone really liked him - and at his funeral the church was full to overflowing.   

At the wake I heard lots of stories from people who knew him, some of whom related 'comical' experiences they had shared with him.         It was wonderful to be able to add those previously unknown moments of his life  to my own memories of my lovely husband.     And guess what - I did smile when  I first heard them - even though it was the day of his funeral and I was completely heartbroken at his loss.     

And that's why I get annnoyed when people criticise the McCanns for smiling after their loss.   I know from my own experience that it's wrong to use that as evidence that they didn't care.

My husband is 11 years older than me, but he's a man, so still emotionally younger  we don't choose who we fall in love with.

I tend to agree with this. Nicotine and caffeine are the only things I take that cross the blood brain barrier.

Yes, there is an argument for some drugs. Cannabis for example imo is much less harmful than alcohol.


John, sorry for the multiple quotes.....

And the human brain has canabinoid receptors, proof we are meant to have it!
