Since I live in the NYC area and take mass transportation a lot, I am grateful tat there hasn't been any attacks yet, and it could be that our police force and leaders are doing their job well, but it just seems so weird that these kind of atacks haven't happened on our soil yet. I was also here for 9/11...knew people who lost their lives. But it seems too weird, almost eerie that suicide attacks have not happened yet....it seems like it would be so easy to do. It is a scary thing to think about, but I guess we just have to live our lives, and put trust that the police, etc. are protecting us, right? Please let me know your thoughts and fears....am I the only one who fears this will happen someday in the U.S.???

created a device capable of extracting excess CO2 from the atmosphere, release the O2 and use the C to manufacture something useful?
Nevermind ... guess that would be called a tree.

Why don’t people look at their question before submitting? A lot of the questions are extremely bad in English and they use to many abbreviations.

I got answers about the high oil prices being a terrorist plot with the same old TV news answers the oil companies put out! Answers like, compared to (heavily taxed) Europe we are lucky. I was told I an uninformed! I was told because we are at war with that part of the world!

Does everyone believe the oil companies talking points, or do some of you think it has more to do with greed and opportunity?

Who are these oil traders, Jihad cells who have infiltrated the comities markets?
My tongue is planted firmly in my cheek!

When NASA first started the Space Shuttle Program, everyone was excited and in awe of this complex engineering feat - just like the days of the Apollo Space Program. But now, the only converage you see on TV of a Space Shuttle flight is during the launch for a few minutes and 30 or so seconds of the landing. Why is more media coverage given to insignificant events (a cat that was pulled from a tree) than events that affect our Nation in a profound way. Is media coverage responsible for this or is it because the media knows the public is not interested in Space and hence, decides to give it very little coverage?

Don`t you think it`s funny?When somebody dies in nowhere you know & they sentence you that you cooperate to kill them,then you have to give us money or instesd we give your inspiratios.And all these happen at the time,when no one knows thet somebody sentenced you.And you don`t have any rights to defent yourself!

Much airtime on news programs are devoted to reporting wars between shiites and muslims, israelis and palestines, you can see and hear about this type of conflict in almost any country. What can be done to end this division between human kind?

It has been very interesting reading the responses positive and negative to Bono's question, which gives a snapshot of attitudes.Most of which have been concentrating on either having a go at Bono,or supporting him,plus natural concerns about problems which either affect us personally or our neighbourhood,or city, or just down right ignorant,bitter and jealous comments.There are problems in many countries to do with poverty,inequality,lack of resources etc and yes we should be concerned.But those that point this out have they tried to help in any way closer to home?I expect some of you have, but some people just used this forum to be down right negative.To start the ball rolling about individuals efforts to help make poverty history, for the record.I am probaby Joe average in that yes, I have donated money as and when I can afford.Bought and worn the white wrist band,written to my Prime minister Tony Blair.Not huge amounts,but I still care and want to do more.Your turn,tell the world.

Hitler kills Jews, brings them a lot of misery..After the war, Jews kickout Palestinians/Arabs and carve out Israel...Palestinians/Arabs live under UN guidance in inhuman conditions etc..a life of utmost misery and dejection with no hope of the future..their kids dying of disease and hunger...except thinking as to when they can get out of there and escape their current plight and wondering as to why they were chosen to be thrown out of their homes..their only solace..prayers...enter another person with his own agenda..he taunts and asks them as to where is justice for them??..why has the world abandoned them??...why don't the big powers in the World care about them??..why is their voice not heard at all??..why don't they do something about it??..what can they do??..declare war against the big powers..no, not possible..they are too strong...hey wait..let's shake them up...Is terrorism a cry for help rather than destruction? Is it the only way to get your voice heard in todays World?

An example would be to ask "What is Lexington Steele's best quality?" A younger, or more sheltered viewer might not have heard of him, and curiously does a search on his name and ends up at porn sites, mabey to be seduced into a lifetime of habitual sin? Thes people post in all categories.
Those people are the one's for which eternal hell fire is reserved. Be careful not to be ensnared by those who just want to trick you, and trip you up in life. Praise tho Lord, and God bless you on your way.

The radical criminals have tried everything to bring down our way of life, from crashing planes in to our buildings, to suicide bombers to bombing buildings. Is the new method of a terror attack to manipulate oil prices to put a serious strain on our economy?

Remember where most of that oil comes from!

What I realy want to know is how much information should pass through without getting censorsed? Should we be able to decide individualy what is important to us or what should be important to us(Generaly)?

When you answer this question, think about what kids today consider as normal then project it into the future and tell me what our World looks like!

How much influence should the media realy have?
