Lively Case Discussion #632 5/31 - 6/1/2007

[BTgirl]

Ya know, back a couple of years ago, I emailed a little with Arubagirl, and I liked her. I found her to be honest, which is something I always admire in a person. She basically said what she felt, so it was easy to see where she stood on various subjects. I wish she still posted with us, but I can understand how she would feel very uncomfortable with people who support the boycott the way we do. She had to choose between SM and loyalty to her home, and she chose her home. In her shoes, I would probably have done the same thing.

Actually, she needed to make a choice to stand up for what was right or wrong.  She chose to stand for the side that is wrong - typical of all Arubans.

They all had and still have a chance to make a stand and press their gov to do the right thing but none of them have any back-bone.

Too bad - boycott the hell out of them.  I have no respect for the Arubagirl.

That's okay - I'll hug you anyway (if you can look like a tree)

I was reading at the FOS site and I got the impression that JR had gone undercover to do volunteer work for the FBI.  Anyone else reading it that way?  Kind of reminded me of a guy in Portugal that volunteered to be a liaison between the Portuguese police and the media.  I don’t think that one worked out all that well.

What a soap opera much of this has become….

Not awake yet and I have a bunch of work to do this morning but I wanted to respond to this.  

ROFLMAO - I call BS on this one!  

That one kind of made me go into convulsive laughter.  Can you imagine how that would go down?  

"Hi FBI, I am JR-Dutch Attorney.  I would like to offer you my services."

"Thank you very much JR-Dutch Attorney.  Fill out this form; give us your fingerprints and the telephone number for your legal guardian.  We will have our people contact you soon.  Do not be alarmed. They will be wearing white uniforms and driving a special van."

Thanks!  I will check it out later.

Morning, Easy.

Arubagirl's blog is quite good. I read it every now and then and always enjoy it. I think you'll be glad you checked it out.

Okey Dokey!  I will read through her blog when I have a little more time.

Good morning.  I try to read her blog from time to time.  She has posted some absolutely fabulous photos of flowers, etc. that she has taken.  Her photos are just outstanding.  So pretty.  I feel bad for her because I understand she loves her home.  I wouldn't stand idly by if y'all were bashing the Big Red.  It's just a shame there is so much nastiness going on down there.  It should be paradise for the people who live and work then but it isn't.  Sadder still is that it isnt' the fault of the natives.  The pall that has been cast over the island by this tragedy will not soon fade.

A poem lovely as a tree.

Joran gave a very "charming" interview to Panorama.

I wonder if there is any use in translating it since I guess ppl wil say he was misquoted, misinterpretated, misunderstood, his words taken out of context by the interviewer etc.

What a nasty person he is.

GEL - where did he post this?  In the HE area?  I couldn't find it.  I take it Lazlo was not impressed with this interview?

That jarred my memory!  She was the one that was campaigning hard against the MEP party in Aruba.  She can’t be all bad, if that is the case.

So your saying you would stand behind the low-lifes that covered this thing up rather than demand justice if this happened in your neighborhood.

I dont believe you

It was out in the open earlier and they were going at Lazlo for posting it.

[Easywriter]

The Lazlo post is gone or moved now, but it was there earlier.  I was hoping to find the interview.

[Peaches]

Blah, I said she took pretty pictures.  That's it.  I don't know what came over her.  Even if I knew what shoved her over to the other side, there's nothing I can do to change it.

Panorama appears to be a magazine similar to the NE or Globe.  I found the website, www.panorama.nl and it shows something about Joran but you can't get to the article.

I joke all the time about being a redneck, but when people on TV make fun of southerners, it always makes me become defensive. I think it's human nature for anyone to feel that way about their home. While I know that there are a lot of uneducated people around me making meth out in the woods in rusty trailers, I will still defend the south because it's part of me.

This is completely different than burying your head in the sand during an obvious cover-up or pressuring your gov to do the right thing.

No ones caling arubagirl names, just critisizing her for taking the side of the monsters.

The south runs through my veins too.  And, I don't like some of the ignorant bigotry directed toward this part of the world by a bunch of low-life’s haunting a couple of message boards.  Even with that said I would stand up against corruption and voice my belief in basic human rights above any other allegiances I might feel.

bummer

The good news is that Joran is still running his mouth and the more he does that the more people realize this kid is not normal.  Classic example of a cold-blooded sociopath.

[Easywriter]

That panarama site looks a little trashy.  No wonder Joran was attracted to that one.

So is it true that DeVries is interested in the Arubay Videos?

Angie sent me an email that Monkey Fan says so...

Wonder if that missing video is IMPORTANT after all!?!?!?!?

also, Carlos sent me a ton of riot pics from Caracas yesterday. I posted them on my site if anyone is interested.

Good Morning All.
