    That is pretty pathetic.

    Seriously, what is wrong with you?

    No, if you look back at the posting history, complete attention seeking nonsense. Random one-liners galore.

    Best not to feed it.

    Forget about the money in the well, the child could be there.

    I’ve just had one of them PMing me threatening me that they’ll report me to get me banned again! How lonely and sad does a person have to be? They even went to the bother of creating a whole new account just to send me a couple of messages!!
    I think most of these people have mental health issues to some degree.
    I think that joining mindlessly in with the lynch mob all those years ago gave some very lonely vulnerable people the sensation of being part of a gang for the first time in their very narrow lives and if it looks now as if it’s all been a huge mistake then their going to feel as if they’ve been robbed in some way. You have to feel sorry for some extent.
    It was never about “justice for Madeleine” either for them. Madeleine, what happened to her, finding her abductor, was never important. It was all about persecuting the McCanns in particular Kate. The opportunity to be the bully, inflict the pain, with no fear of any consequences.
    Sad creatures. As I said, you have to pity them.
    People need a religion, if not, they need a mission. All this , good and bad, used to get filed under Catholicism years ago. Now everyone thinks they are God / the devil. Anyway, take away the mission... people react.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,130 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Whatever way you look at it the parents were not good parents and didn't care about their three kids under three years of age left alone.

    If a predator took Madeleine that is awful, but it is it down to the parents. They are ultimately responsible for the loss of their daughter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 959 ✭✭✭MonsterCookie


    came across these guys (The Behaviour Panel) doing analysis of the BBC interview with Prince Andrew - then found that they recently did something similar on the McCann's first interview with Sky (3 weeks after Madeleine went missing).

    having watched the Prince Andrew analysis, where they had a field day pointing out all the signs that he was lying through his teeth i was expecting they would do similar with the McCanns - however, it was not the case.

    anyway, thought you might find it interesting.

    i think everyone agrees they let her down badly. however, what some will argue, and I'm one, is that if a predator took her, then the predator is responsible. is that not the way it's supposed to work?

    analogy time: if i leave my wallet on my dashboard and go into a cafe for lunch (i'm payying with apple pay for the pedants) - when i come back to find my window smashed and wallet gone - who is responsible? yes, i was foolish, but the thief is surely to blame!

    they were very very very unlucky.

    Still people coming up with these bizzare analogies

    Comparing leaving a wallet in a car to 3 kids under 3 in an unlocked apartment while they go out drinking.

    What is wrong with you.

    So let's say Christian Brueckner, for example, is found to be guilty of taking her from her bed, raping and murdering her, then dumping her body, he bears no responsibility? It's all the parent's responsibility?

    Is that your stance?

    you get how analogies work? clearly not.

    He will be responsible for that.

    Her parents will be responsible for the reckless neglect that provided the opportunity.

    I get how they work.

    I just don't find a wallet been left in a car comparable to two adults leaving their 3 kids night after night in an unlocked apartment in a foreign country while they go out drinking leading to a 3yr old most likely been raped/tortured/murdered.

    But hey, it's a strange world we live in.

    So you clearly don’t understand how analogies work. If you did you’d realize that I’m not saying the two events are of the same severity or depravity. Just the principle that whoever steals someone else’s wallet (or child for that matter) is responsible.

    Either that or you’re just looking for a row.

    Which is it?

    Thanks, but the question wasn't directed at you.

    Spanish Eyes believes the parents are ultimately responsible for this crime, "even if a predator took her, it is down to the parents. They are 'ultimately' responsible for the loss of their daughter"

    Sounds to me as if the predator is getting off somewhat lightly there. Maybe he can use the defence that it was easy pickings and he was only taking what was there for the taking. Sure, when he raped the old lady, didn't she leave the apartment door unlocked and sure, isn't that as good as an invitation?

    Can no one see how ridiculous that sounds?

    Sure, the poor paedophile is not to blame at all. Paedophiles would never abuse children if they didn’t get an opportunity by the parents neglect.
    Let’s campaign to decriminalise paedophilia and prosecute the parents instead.
    In fact, let’s prosecute the parents of any child who ever falls foul of another adult in any circumstances.
    These are the kind of loons you’ll find commenting on this case who won’t accept these new developments because it will mean that they’ve backed the wrong horse.
    Creepy, ISNT it?

    It sure is a strange world, excusing and defending paedophiles in favour of blaming the parents is very strange indeed. No condemnation of Bruekner on this thread from some posters. Isn’t that strange in itself?

    I've only said he should get the death penalty.

    But don't let that get in the way of your narrative

    I didn’t single you out ilmnam.
    I’m sure that you’d never try to defend a criminal with Bruekners rap sheet.
    I’m entitled to find some of the posters here very worryingly strange.
    I had a total weirdo loner create a whole new Boards account just to send me 2 very weird messages threatening me that they’d get me banned again just because I appeared to be defending the McCanns. Imagine having that much invested in this case that you’d go to all that bother? Shows you the levels of untreated mental illness in this country. You’d have to be concerned though for anyone who has to occupy a space with that person.
    What was really telling was that they knew how long I’d been banned for which was more then I knew about it (or cared)myself.
    Whack jobs. This case brings them all out.

    In fairness, you have said that.

    What riles me most is the constant reminder of the McCann's neglect.

    There is not a single poster on this thread who hasn't expressed their disgust at their behaviour.

    Leaving the kids alone to go drinking is shocking.

    Leaving the door unlocked even more shocking.

    .


    Unfortunately there's a few who find it perfectly acceptable. As Splinter mentioned. This case seems to bring out the whack job in what are most likely perfectly normal folk outside of this thread

    I'm pretty certain I know who it is. Its kind of obvious to anyone reading the thread.

    The above post demonstrates why you were banned before.
    I'll say goodbye in case the opportunity doesn't present itself before you go.
