ok y'all....go to this website....but before you do read what i have to say about it...in case you decide to agree with it i won't offend you...
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?holloway&1 i got this from josh's journal so if you've read his then you have probably already formed your own personal opinion of the matter....
i think that is completely stupid! honestly...how many ppl that signed that petition have even heard of aruba...i mean sure some have and some probably go there all the time...but i think someone else put it best...they said why don't you go ahead and boycott the moon too....in other words you don't have the means to go to aruba(or moon)anyway so it makes absolutly no sense to go boycotting it if you can't go even if you wanted to...i think what happened to natalee is absolutly HORRIBLE...but i don't think that we need to go off and get up on our high horse and start boycotting everything/everybody that does something wrong to us...i mean that is the majority of the world if not it's entirity....think about it....how many ppl have gone missing today that are actually in the united states...we don't boycott other states now do we... i understand that aruba's judicial system is much different from ours...and they made mistakes in the investigation...but saying ur not going participate in any traveling to aruba or purchasing any goods from there is not going to change the fact that what happened did happen...all we can do is pray and try and help find her...i mean i can't help find her unless i am in aruba...and i dont' honestly have the means to go to aruba....but if i did perhaps i would go and try to help...who knows...but in order to help i have to be open minded and not boycott every aruban anything that i see! i mean when the US was all mad at France...i mean there were ppl walking around saying "FREEDOM FRIES not FRENCH FRIES!!!" i mean really how did that help the situation at all...do y'all really think that france cares that we took a dish that is not even French to begin with and decided to call it something else...i mean if they found out about it they probably just laughed and thought even less about us because in their eyes our intelligence level probably dropped about 75%....i mean we did things like that in the early years of our lives...anyway...i think that boycotts and changing names like that don't help anything it just creates more tension when in fact we need more love and prayer...ok that's all i have to say about that...God Bless and continue to pray for the holloway family....
