Enough with that chic already...

You know what I want just as much as the next person is for them to find that Aruba chic alive and healthy. But, I want to find her shacked up with some American kid in Miami somewhere cause to be honest I am annoyed by the coverage now. Plus I am annoyed by the American media acting as if justice means nothing in other countries. The things that are being demanded of the Aruban authorities would never be allowed w/n America. Now there is shock that the Aruban citizenry is outraged at the coverage and the statements by the mom that the boys are not being questioned enough or that the boys should not be let go despite the lack of evidence against them? Come on. My island is about to be lashed by a bloody hurricane its hard for me to care about some chic that left a hotel bar WILLINGLY with 3 guys. Lets keep it real her mom has been bashing the 17 year old guy as a bad kid because he was out till 3am one night…her daughter’s actions weren’t exactly those of an angel.

Talking to the people in my program that are not American, I get the sense that they're laughing at us . . . AGAIN. I have to agree whole-heartedly with you. That girl was certainly not a poor little innocent victim. She was looking for adventure and got more than she bargained for. It could have happened anywhere in the States. It happens all the time in the States. We need to back the fuck off of Aruba.

Maria Elisa--while I agree that we may be giving this story way too much media attention, I disagree with your statement that she isn't a poor little innocent victim. Yes, she did leave a bar w/ guys late at night while she was drunk, and no that wasn't smart. However, if she was killed (as is assumed) then she IS an innocent victim. Leaving a bar w/ guys late after a night of drinking is something girls (unfortunately) do quite often.....that doesn't mean you deserve to get killed, or that that should occur. This isn't "getting more than she bargained for," this is being victimized.

If she is dead and though I hope that she isn't its looking more and more likely that she is it is a tragedy. I don't think Maria is trying to say that her death would be her fault or whatever, what I assumed she was saying was that the young lady took a chance when she left the bar and its not the fault of the Aruban people or anyone but the killer. Her innocence that Maria speaks of is her nature in leaving the bar with boys not her status as a victim of murder. (Note her family with her present had been warned by her step brother about the nature of "hook ups" at Carlos and Charlies so she was not naieve) I could be terribly wrong Maria and if I have misrepresented your meaning I sincerely apologise. --Cali-J

No. You are correct. I was not trying to say that she deserved what she got. I was, as you said Aaron, commenting more on the way the media has been trying to portray her as a "good girl" that was taken advantage of by "bad boys." After all, even "bad girls" don't deserve to be (allegedly) kidnapped or murdered.

You are all wrong!! She was out looking for some hot sex and she found it, and she is still having hot sex, true it has been more than a couple of days now, but she was one horny white girl looking to get her groove on (see How Stella Got Her Groove Back). She found her Taye Diggs and she has been having non-stop sex. She will reappear in a couple of days with messed up hair and a limp to her walk. Just watch.

Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
