Finally, someone GETS Madonna. All these people who think she is doing this from the kindness of her heart are not paying attention.

[condensedclassics]

She's the world's greatest self promoter she's used religion, sex, boyfriends, husbands, biological children, adopted children, lesbianism, politics, a foreign accent, physical fitness, writing children's books etc. to publicize herself. She's an opportunistic tyrannical, meglomaniac with limited talent. There are millions of people who adopt children in third world countries quietly and with dignity.

Madonna is so impressive as a powerful

woman of love and integrity as well as a post-modern feminist genius like no one we have ever seen in the past 5000 years,

Well, I guess anyone who used sex as a tool

for women's sovernity were burned at the stake, or countless atrocities that go on today in maybe over 20 million women. These are actively slaves in the human traffiicking along with the millions of children. Current day abolitionists, don't even recognize ( that I am aware of) that this

hey krogers1048

what have YOU done for anyone lately? I'd be interested to know what you have done to help others? Or are you too busy looking for easy targets and throwing accusations around?

people will always think of Madonna negatively. They cannot understand how someone can be so many people all in one. She doesn't live her lives to media and society stereotypes. She can be a bimbo, brainy, articulate, filthy - anything she wants. People are either uncomfortable or jealous of what she has done and achieved in her life. Of course you, me and many others can see the intelligence, the charitable, the creativity and compassionate side of Madonna. We are lucky! :-)

there are more than one way of good parenting. I know some friends of mine, who is always with their kids, but their kids have no aspiration, no ambition and no skills.

All they do is watch telly and eat microwave dinners, and jelly beans. These parents are with their kids all the time. Is this what you are suggesting as a be all and end all of parenting? To never leave your kids out of your sight? Kids need parents who aspire them, not necessarily to change their nappies.

Yeah,well done Madonna!You're getting your own way but you will pay for this...

Okay, Jojo. Is she going to give up touring and traveling to take care of this child? Will she be a mother instead of a visitor to her home? Is her staff going to see this kid more than her? Yes. As long as Madonna is in the spotlight, she will leave the child rearing to her staff instead of doing it herself. That is not being a parent. That is why she should never be called Mom.

fuck off, she was granted Mercy's adoption yesterday by the supreme court! eat yout heart out fucking hater!!!

[crazycokedude]

if she was only intrested in them as "exotic pets" as you so bluntly put it, why would she "waste" millions of dollars and precious time in making a 90 minute informative documentary, promoting the cause through her job and giving the malawians aid frequently?

I agree she is maybe not the fittest mother they could have, what with her background and work, but just cause she's Madonna dosn't mean she dosn't care.

Give her a chance on this one guys (:

yes, it's better they live a short miserable life in poverty and die young......the child would have a good, safe life. This child has been offered a glittering future only to have it snatched away by the jealous family that abandoned her until they suddenly decide they love her and want to keep her again.....bastards
