Another way to consider this question is:

What would make a current events story not newsworthy?

Why is it that news networks such as CNN, Fox News and many others get away with spreading the propaganda of the terrorists? Surely the material they show only has the intention of spreading fear and thus should be considered an act of terrorism? What good can come from showing Bin Laden movie clips and publicising the threats that the terrorists make?

When do you feel a person is actually experiencing poverty?

Suppose you knew someone that had just reached the top edge of the poverty level in their life, what would their life be like?

Clearly I must have put it in the wrong category. So this question may very well get deleted, but before that, check out the real question at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aicd9R5.oxEcxKHpO8_0FM_sy6IX?qid=20060630060724AAZsrSS

Yahoo will probably remove this question like it did my other "tongue in cheek" one (after all, we don't want to offend Bono, do we?) But I challenge you braniacs to come up with the correct answer for a total of....10 points!

Bono wants the world to get involved with ending extreme poverty in the world citing the 9000 dead in Africa every day. Well what exactly is the world to do with the additional 3 million people a year who survive if we end poverty in Africa? Or the millions of others that would survive from other countries?

Poverty, disease, famine, flood, etc are all required in order to keep our population manageable. If all the people Bono wants to save were to stay alive then the entire world would be living in poverty in 5 years due to the population explosion. What Bono sells sounds good on a tv commercial, but if his goal were ever realized our planet would be doomed.

So, why end poverty? Why not learn to live in a world that, for good or bad, requires tradgedy in order to survive?

During the red scare, Americans were over-concerned, even obsessed, with the concept of communism from inside their own country.

Does anyone see terrorism as the new fad-type "scare" because it effected the most powerful country in the world, but in time will obviously still exist, similar to our previous fears of communism, but fade away slightly?

Everytime we try to get something done China and Russia block us. While we keep throwing money into the UN they never accomplish much. Using the money they get could do much more good if directed to other projects.

Marriage has been defined for centuries as b/t a man and a women. Should the US just ban gay marriages all toghether. I for one would support such a constitution. Let the US set the example and show the world that gay marriages are unmoral.

It seems that maybe we should just leave things alone. How often have you ever seen enabling work? It does not. Think of all the extra money we would have if our country didn't hand out all this foriegn aid that ends up rotting or getting into the hands of corrupt governments. Giving people free stuff just makes them rely on you. If there is no food, no water and no jobs.....they will move on. Let nature take it's course.

Kim Jong Il, maniacal president of North Korea and devoted movie buff, has finally agreed to give up his lust for long-range nuclear missiles in exchange for one night of forbidden passion with Hollywood bombshell Angelina Jolie.

The swanky Axis of Evil party boy issued a statement saying he likes "bad girls" and inviting Jolie to come and personally inspect his "weapon of mass destruction."

A source close to Jolie's luscious, pouty lips said the actress/international activist is "intrigued" by the opportunity to defuse the volatile North Korean whackjob. Hollywood insiders say she'd love to put a Nobel Peace Prize next to the Oscar she won for "Girl Interrupted" in 1999.

To sweeten the deal for Jolie, United Nations goodwill ambassador and mother of an adopted Cambodian boy, Jong Il said she can take her pick of cuddly impoverished North Korean infants.

"Hey, I'm no Brad Pitt. But I know how to party," said Jong Il. "And if Mr. Pitt wants a piece of me, my bodyguards will go 'Fight Club' upside his pretty face."

Meanwhile, the international paparazzi is on a state of high alert, with tabloids reportedly willing to pay up to $10.3 million for a photograph of the dictator "canoodling" with the movie queen.

A spokesman said that if the Jolie negotiations fall through Jong Il might be willing to bang Paris Hilton in exchange for relinquishing a rusty Soviet machine gun

....who feel so guilty about having so much in such a short period of time without having to really earn it and want to put the rest of us on a guilt trip because we're working like dogs to be able to provide our families with basic necessities and simple pleasures?
