Do we live in a world where the media reflects the reality or creates a virtual one? I'm Brazilian. I live in Brazil and Brazil has gone through a period of dictatorship, unfortunately. We are coming out of this period of darkness when the media only said good things about it. Nowadays we still can’t trust the media. It defends only the most privileged. But my question is this: Is there any reliable media? Let’s take the US media as example. I notice there are very few Americans who can tell me why the US has been so much attacked recently not only physically but also in the more independent international media (everywhere). The average American is unaware of the reasons of so much hate against his country. There is the international media and then there is the US media which creates its own reality to be broadcasted and believed by 99% of their public. Some believe that democracy is the right to vote. But, how can anyone vote if no reliable information is available?

I am heading over to my friends house soon and wanted to play a prank on him. I was wondering if i disconnected all but one of his spark plugs so his car was really slow and weak would it damage it in any way? I want to be able to just connect them again and have it work fine. Its like a 93 volvo. Also if u have a better suggestion that leave no permanant damage let me no.

I have a 7 year old chow/wolf mix and he has been limping for a while. he ways about 150lbs, and eats a good portion of neutriants every day. He is a family pet and we havbe taken him to several doctors, but they all said it was nothing to worry about. The last time a vet told me that i lost my 3 year old border collie.. you can see why i dont trust there diagnosis. I have a close freind that did a project for her ap class on hip dysplayshia in different breeds of dogs and chow chows, and wolves are at the low raking score. so i highly doubt that it could be H.D.
Theres is also a possability of arthritis but it is very slim. his conditions seem to get worse and then better periodicly, but it has started to beacome worse and cause him to take a while to recouperate. I any of you face or have faced the same challenge as I please let me know. I would never think of amputating his leg (only if totaly necissary), so please try to obstain from advision so.
By the way im 13.. so bnice C.

I've noticed alot of stereotypes about countries with Universal Health care are awfully incorrect (ie: 9 months in Canada to have an MRI.... ya it doesn't work that way lol).

Usually the only problems in countries with Universal Health coverage is that its not fully funded (like in Canada... because Provinces fund it and not the Feds.. it differs from place to place). I think perhaps many should actually educate themselves on the matter as opposed to simply listening to mind numbing ignorance. What do you think?

I am a spiritual person. I have talked to alot of christians trying to convert me. I will never believe the bible. It has contradictions with in itself. And yes they may be small contradictions but if it were holy shouldn't it be contradiction free? And please don't say there are no condtradictions. There are and I don't have time or effort to list here. Ask people will point them out. Secondly there is rampant bigotry. Kepping slaves, women being inferior, killing people of other religions, etc. So I leave it up to all the christians out there to convince me and everyone else your god is the right god. Without using the bible. Also please don't just use jesus loves me, it's not very convining. I truly am willing to hear this and keep an open mind and heart.
