I have studied about the world politics, economy, religion, social relation structure, technologies e.t.c., and realized that the only attempts to solving world poverty problems have been based on sentiments: pitty, alms, gifts, donations, charity, grants etc. All these are great ways of helping (which should be encouraged), but have a way of tranforming the receivers to be dependent, most times, forever. These options are not, at all, sustainable because the givers, too, get frustrated. So, solutions to the world poverty problems should be that that is sustainable and capable of elevating the poor (recipients) to almost instant independence. As we've always been innovating new technologies, we should always keep innovating new and sustanable solutions to the world poverty problems. The world will trully become a global village if we stop the lip-services and sentiments. We need a more radical approach, thinking out of the box. Best regards as you all answer sinserely.

Is it fair in sport we can support and/or participate as Great Britain (i.e. athletics, tennis or rugby - Lions) and in other sports (football and rugby too!) be presented as England? Why? Is it we don't have enough sporting heros we have to steal the odd scotish or welsh person to suit us as British and when we have too many we declare we are English? (Not that the English football team is any good). ??? Personally I think it should be England and not Great Britain - besides what is Great Britain? Is it Great???

A person in a neighboring town has a 4 x 8 sign in his yard that says, "You can't be a Catholic and a Democrat.".
I've never met him and I don't know why he gets to decide on this rule but what do you think? Which club should I quit?

this question isn't based on Political sides. I was just wondering, between the press-other countries-jobs-taxes-laws- welfare-social sercurity-congress etc. it seems the the president is always to blame or praised. This would stress me to the max. Do you think they drink, pray, exercise. What ever? I don't think I would be able to handle it, maybe even go crazy. Basically how do they cope w/sresses of the job?Regardless of what party they come, Once you step up to the plate your in the spot light.

Since the discovery of ethnic cleansing of Jews in German consintration camps during WWII there has been an extreme disliking to genicide. Yet in our modern world it continues to happen. In the Darfur region of Sudan, thousands have lost their lives, and the rest of the world stands by as the Janjaweed tribes are being ethnically cleansed by the Massaleit. Why do you believe that there has not been a military intervention to stop the genecide?

I found an interesting and thought-provoking answer in the book, "Building a Noble World" by Shiv R. Jhawar (www.nobleworld.org).

Following is a small section from "Building a Noble World":
Terrorism is committed by individuals and organizations, not by whole countries. Attacking countries to find terrorists is like looking for a needle by burning the haystack.

The root of crime and war is in the human mind. Therefore, the most effective way to stop terrorism, violence, oppression, hatred, deception, hypocrisy, and corruption is to improve the quality of the human mind. Without a change in the character of individuals, the war on terrorism cannot be won. Wrong is often committed under the influence of ignorance or delusion. A wrongdoing must be condemned, but the wrongdoer is more to be pitied than condemned.

According to a study by Johns Hopkins University and Iraq’s Al-Mustansiriyah University researchers Which was published in The Lancet medical journal two weeks ago that the war in Iraq has caused between 420,000 and 790,000 Iraqi deaths & more than 2800 American military deaths.
It’s a staggering number.
This report is more evidence of the daily tragedy in Iraq. Each life lost carries with it lost hopes, loves, and dreams. Each life lost is another reason that the war in Iraq must end.
Till now, Bush & his administration , wanting to keep a positive spin on Iraq news coverage,
but whether 40,000, 100,000 or 500,000 people have died in Iraq, this war has cost too many human lives. The only resposibility for these lost innocent human lives are belong to Bush & his administration. I am asking all the honest people around the globe to give equitable answer by one word YES if they agree or NO if they disagree about that.

State your opinions on this, your supporting ideas and so on, what rules you'd like up and stuff.

Also state ways society(USA or other parts of the world) can help prevent or stop child abuse, women sexual harassment(by men), and anything else you can think of.

It seems that ever since the II WW we felt obligated to fix up a country after we "broke" it. Why does the US think it necessary to stay in Iraq? isn't it smarter to invade, win, back out. Then if necessary do it again. Why should we even waste our time? When did this ridiculous process begin?

It seems to me in Illinois the canidates that are running for office come November are more interested in bad mouthing each other than actually telling the American people what they're going to do for us if they get elected, any one else having the same problems in their states? Or anyone else from Illionois a little P.O.'d about our choices? I'm voting for Blagoavich, not because I like him, because, I don't, simply because I don't dislike him nearly as much as I do Topinka.

Do you believe that the original purpose for the Invasion of Iraq was to divide up the oil among the 5 largest oil companies, break OPEC and allow these oil companies to become the new OPEC

Every day we live in the constant reality of a GWOT. As Americans, we are stressed by threats of terror in our own country and are spread out all over the world in the name of the fight against terrorism. When will the GWOT end? Or do you think it will end? Also, what do you think will take to end this war? Feel free to pick and choose which questions you would like to answer. This is an open-ended discussion.
