Why do "big name" celebreties, donate millions of dollars to aid third world countries, when there are hundres of homeless children and adults right here in this country, who could benefit from a little financial help, in order to get on their feet. I don't believe, that anyone plans to end up without a roof over their heads and food to eat. Why not give some aid to the working poor, as well. How about the young people who prostitue themselves, in order to survive everyday, on the streets of every large city in the USA? Is is because, it's easier to write a big check and give it to "whoever " is in charge, of getting the most publicity for them. That way they don't have to get personally involved with these poor unfortunates. How can they be sure, that their money will end up in the right hands? It rarely does.

There seems to be an element that doesn't believe there are terrorists trying to specifically kill innocent civillians, and that it must be a government conspiracy. If this is your belief, please indicate how you have come to this conclusion.

Post 9/11 America is hated more and our millitary is overseas. The boarder is not tight and homeland security is just watching us. I feel less safe than before. They are just creating more terroists. Why do we not have people here guarding us? Not violating us, but protecting us?

I waited 3 hours in line for a security check yesterday, along with about 1000 other people (all in one massive part of the airport I was in). If I was a terrorist, this would have been the perfect opportunity: many people all in one place, no security check while you're waiting. I think the US government has, once again, endangered us more than they have protected us.

Why terrorist chose to blow up planes again?

Would you rather not know what psycho terrorist plan to do to innocent people? Would you rather go to New York and wonder what happened to the trade centers? Would you rather not know about a situation that happened locally? Would you rather wonder why so many troops are being deployed out of this country? Would you rather ***** about airport security and wonder why it is so tight? Would you rather wonder why millions of people in New Orleans are moving out of their city? Would you rather just get hit with a natural disaster then be warned? Would you rather be in the dark then let the media make you aware? If you don't like the news don't watch it but quit blaming the media for societies stupidity and the unfortunate things that happen in this world.

As a devout Shiite Muslim, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is telling colleagues in Tehran that he believes the end of the world is rapidly approaching. He also believes that the way to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the “Hidden Imam” or the “Mahdi” is to launch a catastrophic global jihad, first against Israel (the “little Satan”) and then against the U.S. (the “Great Satan”). What’s more, Ahmadinejad is widely believed to be pursuing nuclear weapons that would give him the ability to carry out his apocalyptic religious views. Some experts even speculate that Iran may already have several atomic bombs and the means to deliver them.

In recent days, Ahmadinejad and his advisers have said that Iran will answer the world regarding the future of its nuclear program on August 22. That happens to be a very significant date for Muslims: It is the anniversary of the supposed “night flight” by Mohammed from Saudi Arabia to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to heaven and back again. There is a worry that Ahmadinejad is planning some sort of apocalyptic attack as his ‘“response” on August 22. If so, time is short and the clock is ticking.

islam was quick to issue a fatwa against an author that upset their delicate sensibilities - with the atrocities being committed around the world in the name of islam by very large minority groups - why are peaceloving muslims not crying out against this after all it is impacting on the whole muslim community who are becoming increasingly isolated.

You can be easily robbed and torchured. You cant see any police vehicle on the roads. You are totally on your way. No one is there to help you. Even people watch these daily routine robbery but they dont go for help. People like there only live in their own life careless and wild.

When you take your month's wage back to your home, in the way there is 70% chance someone shall find you with your money and he will take away your money. Many of examples but no one speaks out. Plus more bad thing in this city there is a hell of corruptioin and 'might is right' politices.

women's market everynite starts and ends, nite parties celebrate. you can find different level of status and classes among people.

IS THIS A LIFE? i spit on this life and society and country. Its far more better to spend a life in any poor country or in the jungle. :-(

Prudhoe Bay Oil production is shutting down for unspecified duration - cutting off 8% of our national supply and 50% of domestic production. No real intense coverage in the news media like one would anticipate happening. No huge spike in gas pump prices either! AND a station owner told my dad on Monday that prices were jumping from 3.15 to 3.79 on Tuesday which never happened - in fact we are now down to 2.95 in my town. And we've all seen the pump price jump all over the place in reaction to news events (and often seemingly nothing at all).

So - knowing how "in the pocket" of Big Oil our illustrious leader is....am I being totally paranoid suspecting that there is some kind of government influence, supression of info, coercion, etc. etc. at work in this situation?
