    Very lucky young man...it is a shame that others must inflict such pain to make their point. But if you look at our history and see how we have handled most of our differences violently through the ages, violence just could be man-kinds legacy.

    Here is one story of the escape... Kevin's great escape: how boy, 14, foiled armed kidnap gang
    Stupid hurts...apply it to all of life's aspects.

    Actually it's not religious or ideological. Most of these recent kidnappings are for ransom. These so called "rebels" are actually bandits trying to make a fast buck.

    Ooooh no Pao...

    That just cannot be ... or otherwise "ALL" of the various worldwide news medias would have reported these incidents as such. You know you can trust the news media for precise & accurrate details and fair & responsible coverage.


    They are not like my Used-Car Salesman Uncle Billy-Joe-Bob whos motto is "I cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you", who would tell me anything and do the most unthinkable, just to make a sale.


    While I might make light fun of the media & my uncle...in all seriousness, regardless what the media wants to call his captives let's pray for Warren's safe and speedy return....

    Why is there a "news black out" about this and most Kidnap for Random cases in the Phils ?

    If more people knew about them, couldn't it bring attention to those who are already kidnapped, and also bring awareness for those to use precautions in the future not to go into certain areas ?
