kidley   48 #613 Posted October 30, 2013 Come on get of your high horse, What i am saying is this if i saw a Jamaican couple with a blonde haired blue eyed child i would not think it would be theirs, or if i saw a white English couple with a black child i wouldn't think it was theirs, DONT try to make anything more of it  You mean this one, i will discuss this anytime you want, you threw the race card at this comment.

boyfriday   21 #616 Posted October 30, 2013 You mean this one, i will discuss this anytime you want, you threw the race card at this comment.  No, I mean this one, the one which preceded it and I responded to by giving examples of fair, blue eyed children in my family which you construed as me 'throwing the race card'.  if i saw a Jamaican couple with a blond hair blue eyed child i would not think it would be theirs  Any reasonable person having made the statement you did might have responded by saying something along the lines of "oh I didn't know that could happen", rather than launch into a tirade and feigning offence.

boyfriday   21 #619 Posted October 30, 2013 dont try to put words into my mouth  I'm not in the slightest, but I think your defensive reaction must be fairly typical of people who believe highlighting a child within a family that doesn't look like the rest of them as being fair game for a criminal investigation.

Bruno   10 #623 Posted October 30, 2013 Getting boring now this thread, I'm sure the Needhams would have preferred this DNA testing had not got into public domain, had they have been told of this first before media got hold of it. Debate all you want about the ethics of blonde children with dark haired parents etc, but separate it from the search for Ben This thread should be closed now, as the opening post has been answered (title of thread was changed later) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tripitaka   10 #624 Posted October 30, 2013 I suspect that the Needhams will be very happy that it is grabbing some headlines - even if for all the wrong reasons and a negative result.  Anything (legal) that keeps Ben's name and image in the press must surely be a good thing to increase the chances of closure for the Needhams.
