James Brown, arguably the most important voice in soul, died today, and Yahoo barely mentions it, and pulls the story from the front page after a few hours. But when that guy from the Raymond show and the other white crocodile hunter dude dies, we heard about it for weeks on end. Its bull. RACISTS!

as a Mississippi resident who went thru the storm, i lost everything. many towns and cities were destroyed in mississippi. the media and hollywood would have you believe only new orleans was affected. The levees broke because of mismanagement of funds,to repair them since the early 1920's. Bay St.Louis,MS(my hometown) took a direct hit, and was almost completely destroyed. New Orleans was grazed by the storm. I am so sick of the celebs that go on and on about N.O. I saw with the rest of America, the devastation and destruction. I just feel that an over emphasis was placed on them because of "heritage" wll what about my heritage. What are we not people also?

Their product is proven over and over to kill hundreds of thousands of people every year? Why is this "Legal" drug not banned around the world? Why do people get sentenced years in prison for dealing/selling"NON-CANCER" drugs.Is it because that "NON-CANCER" drugs are easy to grow and "NON-TAXABLE". Why does the goverment sue the Tabacco Companies,when we the people/tax payers pay for treatment,then the goverment sues,I dont understand.Smoking over the years has killed more people than a nuclear bomb.Our goverment will spend Billions a month to fight in another country to fight terrorist who blew up 2 towers and killed at the most 3500 people.But they bow down to American Companies who kill hundreds of thousands a year for profit.Please make me understand.

Why do some people have feelings of ill will and hate towards a particular race/community... Who even contemplate violence destruction and bombing of innocent people...Why do they want to keep out immigrants out of their countries, who only want to have a better life... Why do they have hateful feelings towards minorities???

Is it something to do with "bad genes" or does God really want them to end up in hell or something like that?

Who is really the "Special Interest" here? The big tobacco firms or these special interest group, who have gone from state to state encouraging smoking bans, and making huge profit off it also. I ask you, "When do the people win?" This is a war with special interest groups and big tobacco. Neither could care less about our well being. Neither tell the truth, why should they? More money to line thier pockets. So, I guess my question for the boards. When do the average citizen win while these two are battling it out for profit?

I would like to know your opinion on war. I know it is a big topic to talk about. But I keep seeing questions about who won WWII, the US or the UK. Everybody is always so proud of the fact that their country has a good military. Why would you be proud of that? I'm sounding like a hippy now lol. But my partners friend served in Iraq and he killed a child because a man hid behind him to throw a grenade. Now my partners friend has that on his concience for the rest of his life. Why is a good military a reason to be proud?

Yahoo boards were a bit disorganized and a little scary to use but a way to hear a multitude of opinions on any given subject. i miss it already and am considering a new PORTAL THAT MAY OFFER A LIVELY DISCUSSION BOARD.

I thought it would be interesting to hear about everyones ufo sightings. I saw one once when I was a few years younger, it went so fast, back and fourth that you could tell it wasn't an airplane. Then, it disappeared.
