My idea is, one oil company at a time ,to do a coordinated one month boycott.

For example, the first month no one will buy any Shell gasoline, the second month, no one buys any Exxon and so on.
I believe this would tell the oil companies we are not going to be overcharged without a fight and tell the in terms they may listen to,$$$$$$$
Would you participate ?
Do you have ideas on how to organize a boycott like this on a national level?

I know it was a plane, no argument there. I just do not understand why the USA will not show the "other" videos that were taken that day. 3 other locations had cameras (Sheridan hotel, Gas station, and the Virginia Dept. Of Transportation) Where are these videos, and what is the harm in showing them?

I thought it was some kind of scam but after the fedex prioroty mail, started to sound like its legit. and I really need the extra money. What should I do?

Being usually creative as you usually are, oh wise ask yahoo audience, what could go wrong? (using Murphy's law here) what could go wrong say downtown, or in the white house, or at the baseball park, or in the downtown cleaners, or with the mail, enviromentally ,economically,etc..or whatever tickles your fancy?
(I mean nothing negative by this, this is just and only for some thought!)

A few years ago, I heard that in Atlantic City, Donald Trump was building a hotel or casino (I think) over and around the home of a little old lady who'd lived there 30 or 40 years and refused to sell or move. The construction workers had strung safety nets over the house and she said they were constantly dropping things on her roof. Do you remember this story? Whatever happened to her?

Not wishing any of this had happened, but

Do you think if the VT tragedy happened closer to the media circus of Don Imus, that Imus would still have a job??

It seemed that there was no other news on TV other than Don Imus, I have not heard a thing about him since Sunday night!!

This is NOT a joke, and I'm not trying to make fun of the Virginia Tech shootings because I am dead serious.
There's been a rumor going around that there will be a school shooting tomorrow at my high school, and the security denies it but they've posted a few exta policepeople around.
A gun shop in my town was robbed a few days ago, and a car was pulled over with a guy in it that had papers that had my high school's floor plan on them. Also, a town only about 10 miles away went into lockdown because a guy had been spotted on the premises carrying a gun.
This is NOT a joke, and I'm really worried about this because some people have to be at school tomorrow for state sports and I'm freaked out that this might be the next Collumbine, which makes it even weirder since Collumbine's anniversary is tomorrow. I'm scared....several people have already called the police about this to ask for more security but I don't know if that's enough.

A photo of VA Tech shooter Cho Seung Hui in a US Marines uniform was pulled by Wikipedia. Why?

Funny I don't think the "news" has reported he was in the Marines.

Read the forum chat (and see the photo) where this photo first surfaced...it details how it also "disappeared"

Thats right, hes NOT. All you BULLYS are.

(This is my answer to a previous question I answered)

There wouldnt be these "sick freaks of nature" if people would just ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE. And reach out to a fellow student who is in need, instead of sweeping the problem under the carpet and hoping it will go away.

If someone would have reached out to Cho MORE than oncem then maybe this would not have happened.

If you ask me, we need to get rid of all the bullys in this world. But something tells me, there will NEVER be total accpetance of others. There will always be ignorant people.

Get rid of the bullys and people like Cho would be happier.

What do you think?

just reading a post that said the shootings in america are THE biggest news story of the week... what about the 200 iraqi citizens killed this week...why is that not bigger news? i listened to an interesting debate today on why we are not being affected by these atrocities in iraq, and wondered what the general concensus was on here.

I also have a concealed carry permit, and several registered pistols and other firearms. Now why on earth do others want to stand up and say that i shouldnt be allowed to own a weapon or carry a gun? If i am responsible enough to carry a gun in Iraq or Afghanistan, why cant i carry one in America?

Isn't that precisely what a person who does something like this wants? Does that not encourage those possibly on the verge of a copycat event?

Why is it that every time I turn on the news I see 'his' face? I would much rather see stories about the people lost and their lives and the families of the victims.

I think it's wrong that we remember the names David Koresh, Jeffrey Dahmer and Timothy McVeigh. But, unless your knew somebody before the tragedy you probably don't know any of the victims names.

So, people of all news programming lets get our priorities straight and keep the deranged people out of the news since that is exactly what they want. He didn't care about anybody he killed. All he just wanted to go out with a bang and all of the programming directors are giving him what he wants. This will only give the next deranged gunman more reason to follow through and go out famous.

Question Details: was his girlfriend asian? (haven't been watching all the networks), i know there was one asian guy posting here questions, saying "white" people taking all asian's stuff, and said now white men taking their women and girlfriends, was glad to see some asian girls post that that is their decision and no one "takes" them or forces them as to who they wish to date or go with. some girls have posted on here that he didn't like females, don't know who he was stalking (never showed, as usual), but did anyone see on another network that he was ticked off his "girlfriend" (don't know how he managed to have one) was going around on him with another guy, i wouldn't blame her, if she wanted to get away from him : )

"Cars kill, so we should ban cars if you want to ban guns!"

But car accidents are ACCIDENTS, is a shooting spree an accident?

"A murderer can use any weapon if he wants to kill if you ban guns you might as well ban knifes and rocks and clubs!"

If you want to compare a gun to a knife/rock/wooden stick, you need help.
