At the end of the day -why does it matter to YOU that people care about one missing girl. I think it goes back to what I said earlier - there's no one that would care if you didn't come back from a trip.

Even if Natalee had been drinking heavily, Even if Natalee had been flirting, even if if she had made out with - keep filling in as far as you want to go with this. NO one, and I repeat NO one has the right to kill her - and as an American she has the right to think that a. her family; b. her fellow citizens care enough to try to pursue justice.

Aruba as a whole has mucked up the investigation, so Aruba as a whole gets to feel the financial hurt until her mother is told where she is, or justice is pursued as to those that have done her harm. ANY parent has the right to bury their child if something bad has happened to them -

There now your question has been answered. Your obviously jealous that you don't have any type of socialization in real life (or you would understand) and you're so obnoxious on this forum, you probably have little socialization here. But you're can hide behind "conservatism" and be a judgmental self-righteous fool - since you're hidden behind a cloak of anonymity. But if ALL you're going to do is be disruptive - not add anything of value to the thread (all you're doing is putting down people on the thread, and using innuendo against Natalee--nothing positive or of value there) - then there's no reason to come back, and the moderators have been fairly cooperative in ensuring this thread stays on friendly terms.

Again, shame on you.

".....just as a place to socialize."

Sure, there's some of that occuring here. I'm sorry for you that your upbringing did not go a little further to socialize you. But its good that as an adult you are learning to recognize sociability when you see it. Now, having gotten that far, it is time for you to quit imagining your self as above it all, and, frankly, resenting others socializing normally. You should keep in mind that it is not our fault that you are inept in that regard.

As for concern and compassion about this American kid, I think it is out of reach for someone such as yourself right now......since it requires a sort of espirit de corps, which is developed in a social way. Thats another way of telling you I understand your lack of compassion and concern.......I don't necessarily think you're evil, just lacking basic social skills and trapped in blaming others for it.

Best of luck to you!
