I hardly ever pay attention to the news, but you're right. I was wondering why she's getting all the attention when people go missing every second. I think it's probably her family, maybe they have a bit of money or something and are able to get more publicity, but it's not really my place. I know what you mean, though.

It's a perfect story for public consumption: a pretty, blonde, naïve teenaged girl goes missing on an island paradise whose yearly rapes and murders can be counted on one hand. The suspects include three rich young men, one of whom is the son of a local judicial official. Even Hollywood can't produce a better story.

It'll get tired out soon enough.

You know, kind of like how the car bombs in Iraq don't stir the American public anymore.

i was wondering the same about why a woman getting her feeding tube pulled out was such a big deal that time too rolleyes.gif

people don't care about things until they think it's right to..like, something could be going on forever and then a group of people get together and go "oh..hey this case isn't right! i should be who gets a say in this, no one else!" so it's automatically wrong once it becomes public. before, it never was..

well youve heard the pun "weapons of mass distractions", so if people spend all of their time thinking about the shivos, and the natalies....then they wont think about the more important things.

because aruba is harboring terrorists and we must occupy them. the whole thing's a trick so we can get special forces disguised as g-men out there.

aruba's the cornerstone of the terrorist society.

also, the have WMDs

People aren't making as big a deal about her as they were of Terry Shiavo. I think that it's such a big deal because there's nothing else too exciting going on. =X

And it's also presenting some prejudice I think, because when the 3 (Caucasian) men were interviewed, they said that they saw two African American security guards at "the hotel" and then she was gone. After having said that, the people interviewing them dismissed them and automatically arrested the two men. I'm not sure if it's racism, but I thought there was something fishy there.

She was on some boating trip to Aruba, but she was originally from the USA. But who cares, really?

Distracting white woman of the month? Lmao, I never noticed they were all white. Can't find the article on that site though.

Sounds like that Runaway Bride. She was crazy.

In the caribbean there is a lot of slave trade

people getting kidnapped>>getting sold>>spending life as a slave

Plus.

She is an american citzen. Missing in the middle of an ocean pretty much.
People do go missing all the time. But there was also a case like this about 7 years back or so. Same situation sorta. 'cept she was on a cruise liner ship boat thing. No one could find her either. She's STILL missing.


I highly doubt they are going to find her alive. 3 weeks or however long. She's probably dead.

Who cares if she's dead or not? It's not going to affect our very living. I mean, the girl was being unwise and she's being punished for it. I believe Natalee is dead. Raped and murdered and thrown into the ocean; yes, morbid thoughts. At times I'm very sadistic.

I think the reason why The nations media is focused on her is since the US has been banned from going to Haiti due to hostile actions toward americans, The media is trying to link those hostile actions towards her having to be missing in Aruba.. I dont think i made sense but yea

Sorry, if this is a little bit off topic. How come people start saying good things about others when they're missing? Like, Natalie Holloway. She had a good GPA. Blah blah blah. She was a good person. When in reality, she's probably some ditzy, conceited, person. Understand this is a hypothetical thought. So that I won't spam, I think that Natalie Holloway doesn't deserve all this attention.

i doubt it matters.
she's either dead.
or shes a sex slave in the mediteranian or southeast asia.
either way; i think she's not ditzy anymore.

but she was a goody goody prep, i presume.

Yeah, I see your point. I was wondering the same thing. At a funeral, whether this person was respectable or not, they'd always take that time to mention the good things. Why? I'm guessing because it's just to pay respects to the dead. It's the least you could do once they're gone. All you have left are memories of this girl (since she's presumably dead), so why not keep good memories? And her parents are probably in denial that she's dead and are like, "She'll come back soon. She's a good girl." I actually don't care though, so enough of my off-topicness.

I agree. It makes me sick how the news picks favorites with the stories they cover. If Natalie was an ugly girl with nothing going for her, no one would care.

It reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where Bart pretends to be trapped in a well, and when everyone thinks it's Timmy, they're all concerned and spending lots of money to get him out.. But when Bart falls in and everyone knows it's him, nobody cares and suddenly they can't afford to get him out.

Saying this may be a little sadistic, but I lost a friend a while back in a car accident; she was hit by a drunk driver. She wasn't what one would call attractive, but she was smart and she was a great person. The news could care less. Not long afterward, my fiancé's beautiful ex-girlfriend Amanda drove into a tree on a completely empty road and it's all over the news. What?!

That being said.. Sometimes I just absolutely hate the media.

That's another thing that gets on my nerves. The same thing happened when Ronald Reagan died. There were tributes and everyone talked about how he was such a great man, and these were the SAME PEOPLE who bashed him to pieces during his presidency. Now, I never had a problem with the man, but my opinion of him didn't change because of his death. And when Amanda died, even my boyfriend was joining in on the saying wonderful things about her - he HATED her. People should just always be real, no matter what.

^ Wow, you make a lot of good points. I know exactly what you're talking about and now that I think about it, it's entirely unfair. However, this isn't really a debate considering we're all just putting our opinions on here and more 'talking' about it than 'debating'. Well, at least I learned something new.

Pretty people get more publicity than ugly people.

Why? Because the media sucks and in my opinion it's kind of offensive that they be so judgemental of people and decide whether or not they're worth being put on the news or not. And if they were to judge someone, why on their outer appearance?

Libertie, you're going to kick some major ass on the debate forum.

So true. Although, it is strange it's like a good horror movie that has its viewers on the edge of their seats, esepcially it's teens, who see the typical american girl, whose rich, wander off and gets herself murdered, they view here as the pure one.

It scares me.

It's not like we're trying to be mean and I sympthasize with the girls parents. But when my cousins friend was kidnapped, they were never on the news. It's sad that they only chose stories they THINK will intrest the public.

I cannot believe that all of you can sit there and ridicule someone you don't even know (you're comments about her being pretty, smart, goodie-goodie, etc just show your lack of self esteem and the need to ridicule others). I am a middle-class white person and I certainly hope that I never get this caddy about things.

Think about the media attention the celebrities get each and every day. It's something that draws the attention of many people and the media is only doing what they are paid for. Do you think the Hallaway family is paying the media to report on this story? Doubt it! It's called genuine interest from people that care when bad things happen. Unfortunately, all of you are focusing on the fact that this kind of attention is not given to the cases in your local community or your life. There are horrible things that happen each and every day and unfortunately they do not get the attention they all deserve. Is that Natalie's fault? Unfortunately, I fear the end result is not going to be favorable for Natalie and all you people can do is complain that your life doesn't get any attention! Give me a break. I think the reason it is getting so much attention is because of the people involved in Aruba (a court judge and his son). It's more media attention for Aruba. Dirty politics always grabs the attention of the public. And yes, she is a pretty girl and had a lot going for her but I don't think if she was ugly this would have gotten any less attention than it is for Natalie.

As a parent, my heart goes out to the Hallaway family and I hope that they can eventually find some peace to this horrible event. I can't imagine what they are going through being in a different country and having the investigation at the mercy of a law enforcement system that runs very differently than things do in the US. I think they have shown great courage and strength throughout this whole process even though in their hearts they know things are not going to end in their favor.

And for the girl that wants to "pretend" to go missing, go for it! I just hope you do get the attention you deserve after pulling a stunt like that. And you should be thankful that you do not have to endure what Natalie more than likely did with her abductors. Hey, at least you will get your "10 seconds" of fame. I am pretty sure this is NOT the "10 seconds" that Natalie was hoping for!

the only reason we seem to have no sense of compasion for this girl is because we grew up this way. We dont get emotionally attached to something unless it involves us, i know it may seem really harsh but its how kids right now grew up, since obviously you yourself are a parent. The media made us like that. I prayed for them to find her, and thats the only contribution in my mind that i could give, and i still hope they do find her.

Originally most humans are greedy and self involved, If someone was yelling rape i doubt that you would go down there with a bat and try to help, No. as long as you and your family are safe thats it.

ex. the famous case of Kitty Genovese. She was raped in an alley of apartments surrounding her. Nobody Helped her when there was in fact 38 witnesses from the Apartment complex. Nobody even called the police. None. As soon as she had an opportunity to yell rape the rapist ran away. And then he came back when nobody came down and he finished the job of stabbing her.

Its not that we are mean but its because we are so tired of this bs. If it were to be a middle class african 18 year old stuck in aruba i dont think she would get as much as attention.

Fox news and the Republican power elite, are geniuses. They have a greater understaning of the american mind set than the liberal media.

Short attention spans, sensationalism, unable to recognize the difference between news and entertainment, escapist tendancies, laziness regarding analysis of really important issues ( let someone else figure it out for me). Thus we get NATALIE HOLLOWAY and the rich guy who fell off the cruise ship etc etc.
Meanwhile forces are at play that will dramatically effect each and everyone of our lives and the lives of future generations. Terrorism, energy, Supreme Court Appointees, White House National Security Leaks, . But just give us more Natalie, Geraldo, and throw in some Nascar.
The summer leading up to 9/11, the top TV news stories were SHARK ATTACKS ( two people were attacked).. A month later 3,000 people were killed. And is it no wonder that the averge person STILL thinks Sadaam Hussein was involved in 9/11?
We are in deep DOO DOO.

BRINGING BACK TOPIC.

Now that Aruba hasnt found natalie holloway yet, the U.S. is planning to boycott aruba. Do you think that is right? I mean just because they havent found her they are going to cut off tourists in which the businesses like the resorts and restaurants in Aruba and they have to suffer for something they didnt do. They think that in doing this the Aruban government will get pressured to find her.

I dont think they should suffer in my opinion. I mean they have nothing to do with the dissappearance of natalie.

Do you think they should be able to do this ? should other businesses suffer for her dissapearance? Should America enforce the way their governemnt works on another country?

I agree. I personally feel like cases like this are treated unfairly. there has been many cases of kidnappings of black/asian/hispanic children but they aren't focused on as much as cases that involve white people do. I remember reading something like this in a newspaper. the goverment is so coruppted and unreasonable.

i dont' think it's a race issue.

it's more of a class issue. she was upper class, and thus news covered it.

i'll bet you if a rich black girl got abducted you'd hear about it, probably more than a rich white girl too.

I cant believe some of the stuff you guys are saying...SHE SHOULD BE GETTING MORE PUBLICITY IF ANYTHING! And maybe its b/c her parents are pushing the publicity b/c they cant sleep at night b/c they dont know if their daughter is alive or dead and if she was raped and if she was tortured or ANYTHING! And Aruba should be boycotted for the shady shit they are pulling over there...I wouldn't step foot on that island now or ever b/c of how disgusted I am by the way they are handling this case...and for those of you who think she is getting too much publicity should think again, there is no worse feeling then not knowing where one of your loved ones is and coming to terms with the reality that you will probably never see them again!YOUR COMMENTS WERE SO IGNORANT!

How are they handling it badly? They investigated. There are laws, even in Aruba, about just arresting people and throwing them in jail without evidence.

Natalie Holloway was, like most whites her age, a skanky whore who went wild in the island, and never thought anything could happen to her.

The biggest picture about all this should be that whites, though beauty-wise are superior in my opinion, suffer from an almost pandemic sluttiness, and promiscuous life style, that it interferes with their ability to think clearly enough to keep themselves safe.

Should she suffer slavery or death for sucking a few penises during ther vacation? No, but whites should think that their life style and lack of morals can sometimes put them in situations they could hardly imagine, as Natalie and her family have come to find out.

How about...

The biggest picture about all of this should be that opinionated newbies, though word-wise are stupid in my opinion, suffer from an almost pandemic lack of intellect, and self-righteous life style, that it interferes with their ability to think cleary enough to compose meaningful posts.

the two brothers testified that they had sex with her while she slipped in and out of consiousness.

This article, dated 12 October 2005, says that all of them claimed to have not had sex with her. If the brothers testified that they had sex with her, would they not still be in custody?

Hmmm......

Someone asked if I "generalized much"? The answer in this case is defitively yes, as I am talking to a wide and general audience. Just the other night I was watching Pamela Anderson's roast on Comedy Central, and as one can imagine the Hepatitis C, Queen slut herself drew a fair number of sexually related and explicit commercial sponsors, one of which was the "girls gone wild" dvd series.

I believe the one showing that night was some flavor or another of the usual, "look at these girls going without their parents around... blah, blah" Guess what? Not one of the sluts featured in that commercial spot were anything but Whites.

Coincidence?

As for the "more experienced" blogger who engaged me personally, I stand undisturbed, that line of attack can only mean I must have hit it on the nose. Enjoy.

Come to think about it, and as long as we are into the generalizations; hurtful as they may be, my point about whites is that their ostensible permissive nature in matters promiscuously painful to other cultures is what played partly a role in Natalie's disappearance/death.

Just like it is a generally accepted fact that Asian cultures appear to have a distinctly respectful attitude towards higher education, more so than... say.... Latinos - it is a fairly known fact that white women just don't seem to feel "ready" for marriage unless they have copulated with half their hometown, and/or their respective footbal teams.

Are blacks any different, or Hispanics? Who knows, blacks have their own set of social problems, as do other ethnic groups, but it is undeniable not that white girls are definitively more promiscuous than most, but that it appears to be more socially acceptable in their "culture" or lack thereof.

When I saw the news about Natalie, and the lengths most of the media outlets went to obviate her behavior while in the island, I knew that at least partly responsible for her disappearance - however that went - was this socially acceptable sluttiness of whites, certainly for whites going on vacation usually means shedding all links to self-restrain, I should know, I have partied with many while in Costa Rica.

Latinos enjoy beans, blacks are only 13% of the US population, but make up almost 46% of jail birds, no point arguing they are disproportionately taking room in most prisions around the country (whatever that statistic means as far as black men and women), and whites - though up on pop culture, and generally better educated than most - are simply too slutty for their own good.

Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed that part of their "culture", but it is no use denying it. Again, next time you see ANY of the many varieties of sexually explicit video series, count how many whites you can see.

If you guys don't like what I wrote, and you are white, then raise better kids, you yourselves stop acting like whores, and most of all accept your sluttiness as part of your social make-up, only accepting a problem will you be able to do something about it, if you decide to combat it for future generations.

Until then kids, carry on being sluts, just be honest about it.

Dec 13, 2005 - and for the love of God, please remember there are exceptions to EVERY rule and stereotype, but IT DOES NOT MEAN THE RULE AS A WHOLE IS NOT TRUE.

J.

white women are not sluts. theres slutty women in every culture.
for instance, i am a virgin. ohmy.gif wow. a white teenager that hasnt f*cked half her school. *gasp*

i could say all black people are gansters.

i could say all latinos are drug dealers.

none of those are true!

whites have their rednecks. their dumb people. whites have their sluts.

BUT NOT ALL WHITES ARE ANYTHING! ITS THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN! WHITES COME FROM MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.

i doubt you'll find a roman catholic girl in italy f*cking everything she sees.

I dont mean to offend you in any way but the reason why he/she said that is because media justifies white women like that. there is a bigger amount of white women showed in media than the other races. Think about it they show so many divorces on tv and who gets divorced, mostly caucasians. I am not saying Jules28 is right because he/she is calling white women sluts. its just that the media portrays it like that.

What about the other parents whose child got kidnapped? They were probably trying to get publicity too. But did they get it? Not as much as the Halloways. Keep in mind that kids/teens go missing everyday. Do you think the news has all the time to air it all? No. They pick out the juicy stories. And whoa, Natalee, a rich, smart, attractive woman who is lost in Aruba. Wouldn't you pick that over a little kid getting kidnapped while she was at the mall?
