Big Phil.

That is such an ignorant and offensive comment to make.

You have obviously made no attempt to understand what this thread is about.

On one hand you're saying you don't care whether the ritchies adopt or not, then in your next breath you're expressing your point of view on the subject.

You're happy to tell people that they're wrong, yet you aren't interested in knowing what they are actually talking about.

Come on mate, you can't have it both ways.

Either engage the subject or leave it alone.

While we are on the subject of whose business it is, it clearly isn't just that of the Ritchies.

It is, for example, the business of the childs father. (If you don't know what I'm talking about I suggest you read back)

It is also the business of anyone who believes that adoption of children should be done in a responsible way so as to ensure that their best interests are not overlooked. (again, you'll have to read back to know what I'm talking about)

In this case, there are many people who are of the view that this adoption should not be happening because it might be bad for the child being adopted. (just to make sure you don't repeat something someone said at the start that has already been discussed, I again suggest reading back)

When you see or hear about someone doing something bad, it is your business to show concern (if you want to), and if someone else disagrees with your reasons, it is your business to scrutinize the issues (if you want to) to see to what extent your concerns are justified.

That is how societies make sure that people don't get away with doing bad things. Without this kind of healthy debate we may as well go back to the jungle and beat each other with clubs.

It is important, that neither Madonna nor anyone else is allowed to get away with abusing their media status and financial clout, when it comes to taking risks with other peoples welfare. especially the welfare of children.

If you aren't interested then let those of us who are get on with it.

Thank you.
