Joran Vandersloot confesses.

[Keystone Phil]

I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed here yet.

I never followed this case but now I want to see this closed soon. Fry this pig.

My problem is not with the case itself but with the actions of Holloway's mother. She single handedly tried to create an international boycott against the innocent island of Aruba, which seems to be collective punishment, a very terrible crime. She lost her daughter, which is tragic, but she tried to take out her anger on others and whip up public hysteria, so she doesn't need anymore sympathy.

This story is pointless and stupid. People die/go missing every single day. Just because one of them is a rich, white hot girl, doesn't mean that we need to hear any more about it. It's ridiculous the degree that the media has blown this story up, and really speaks to the problems with our current news/media setup in this country.

That is what really grates at me. If she wasn't white, blond, and pretty, none of us would know anything about her cause the media wouldn't give a damn about her. The national media is stocked with so many mouthpieces who say they are fair, and promote equality. But in reality, they don't give two sh**ts about minorities, unless they're in the back of a police car.

Especially that Greta van Sustran. Every damn day she's running some story about the case. "Help!!! Natalee's mom just sneezed!!! Call the police."

As you can tell, I'm a tad cynical in these matters.

Ok, so we should pay attention to the others that go missing (black, white, Hispanic, male, female, etc.) but that doesn't mean this story is "pointless" or "stupid." What that piece of filth did to this girl should enrage everyone. The sick part is how he is basically bragging about what he did.

LOL @ white guilt

White guilt about what?  The fact that we celebritize missing, pretty, white-bread women?  That's not "white guilt."  That's just admitting that part of our culture is majorly f'ed-up.

(You don't seriously think that this only bothers people because we're guilty for racism?)

Yes. I bet if this was a missing pretty black woman, you'd be at all pissed. But it's very PC to whine about things like this.

Oh yes, argumentum ad political correctness.  Because reverse PC ("everything that's PC is automatically bad!") is a much more valid of a concept, right?

Of course I would be complaining.  Making missing people into celebrities based on ridiculous things such as race and physical attractiveness is stupid.  Period.

You actually find this to be a valid preoccupation?

The retiring Centre County District Attorney, Ray Gricar, disappeared without a trace from Central Pennsylvania on April 15, 2005.  Because he was public official, in law enforcement and he was much more local, I'm far more interested in that.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the general case.  Of course, Mr. Gricar a 59 year old male, and not a pretty blond teenager.

What I wonder...is why the hell would the SCHOOL allow 18 year old kids to go to frickin' Aruba on a final class trip...and drink and mess around...to me that's not good school conduct and the teachers screwed up.

As for this Moron Vandersh*t, what the hell would a nice high school girl like Natalie see in this ugly lowlife nobody? I see all the time the way things are...my dad has been a cop for 29 years...and he tells me the crap these young girls do. They date these low life dirtbag scum losers and end up getting in trouble...and even dead because of it.

Many times...the PARENTS of the teenager in trouble get MAD AT THE COPS! Probably because many of the parents are also scumsucking lowlifes.

Because 18 year olds are adults?

1. If Natalee Holloway were black, she wouldn't have vacationed in Aruba, so that is a moot point.

2. After having watched that video, all I can say is that Vandersloot has a distressingly typical attitude of a twenty-something toward sex, and, really, human life in general.

So true. Maybe that's what upsets me the most.

Probably the fact he's just plain stupid is what upsets you the most....it does me.
