Why do we never see alternative celebrity viewpoints on this site?
And who the hell made Bono and Al Gore kingpins on these topics?

to "oneyed":
i was talking about the celebrity questions which are predominantly left leaning... such as Bono, Al Gore and the like. Think we will ever see Ann Coulter or anyone from the right post a Q? Doubt it.

Newsflash to all the simple minded "caring" folks:
having an opinion which is liberal or socialist does not imply that you have the sole propriety over fixing the world's ills simply beacause you "care."

I agree with you 100%. Just don't piss yahoo off since they are the kingpins of the liberal socialist agenda in this country. They terminated my old yahoo account because they did not like my conservative viewpoints.

I am not joking about this either. Yahoo answers team is run by a bunch of morons. How can they allow so many deranged people post questions such as some nutjob named "kentucky Derby" who asked, I want to become a serial killer how can do this without being caught. This wackjob posted hundreds of offensive questions before yahoo finally kicked him off the system. Yahoos only defense was "we are doing the best we can". Guess what Yahoo? You best effort STINKS!!!!!!

A better question would be how can you make a soclialist liberal think. The answer is that you can't, since none of them possess a brain.

GLOBAL WARMING/THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL

Any and I mean any environmental cause or approach must be grassroots in nature. Having PhD's talk about global warming and having those representing industry interests debunk these present theories is a high level and almost an entirely futile effort. Don't get me wrong, it is great that someone with Al Gore's connections and exposure is getting the word out. However, people are people they want to see results.

Yes, the expression is now trite but still true, "Thing Globally, Act Locally". Watching the sky over a city, town or even a more rural area become darkened by smog has local impact, people take note and actually see A PROBLEM. A problem that can measured in terms of air quality or perhaps an AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX like the one that the provincial government in Ontario, Canada is in the process of implementing. You can measure results (however small) in terms of air quality and the affect it has on the health care system (those with breathing problems, doctor's visits, etc). It certainly speaks to the advantage of a UNIVERSAL health care system (however, actually implemented) as it actually makes sense to improve the environment as it keeps people healthy (a humanitarian cause) and when health care it publicly funded it affects the public coffers when people become ill therefore it even makes better financial sense to keep the environment a top priority.

Plus any approach must be entire with a complete overall plan (the big picture). Including recycling initiatives, energy solutions (alternatives/renewables can now present a real potential financial threat to the big oil companies and even power companies...), government involvement at all levels, public transit, greener vehicles in general (Hybrid, Hydrogen, Conventional electric, bio-diesel, ethanol), conservation in all energy arenas, ETC!

Economic viability is the real sell as many of these solutions are just that economically sensible (ensuring we look at the entire picture). Yes as more people use solar, wind and other renewable energy sources the cheaper the technology will get. Two of the newest billionaires have earned a large portion through renewables Solar (India I believe) and Wind (China I believe). Yes in many ways developing nations and economies will be the first and early adopters of such renewable tech as they are just building much of their infrastructure.

So what do we all need to do? GET INVOLVED ! Contact your local government about improving your recycling program, contact provincial/state/federal government about the adopting of these new technologies (renewables such as solar/wind), buy gas with ethanol in it and demand it, use and demand bio diesel, buy products with less packaging and demand manufacturers to reduce packaging and to offer a price break as a result. More ECONOMIC VIABILITY! After all energy diversity just like economic diversity is the safest and best bet for good long term results and return on investment.

Well maybe yahoo wants to out well informed people who care about changing the world for the better on its site. That would tend to eliminate people like George Bush, FOX personnel, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and all those other "alternative" viewpoints.

Bono is the defacto kingpin. :)

He is a humanist/humanitarian to the bone and for that I will forever be in love with him. <--the latter is a joke. :)

Nothing wrong w/ left leaning opinions, right?!

I am left of center and I can assure you if I simply saw viewpoints that were like mine all day, I would be bored and forced to have a low mental capacity as my mind would not be stimulated.


Don't you embrace diversity? I sure do.

Please this an open forum. There is this whole lie of conservative- right wing/ neo- false Christian politics. If anyone doubts the backward ideas of the new republican rhetoric, they are vilified as not only being un- American, but non- Christian to boot. The government should ALWAYS be questioned and held accountable. There is really no difference between republican or democrats; they're all extreme liars.
Stop attacking citizens and learn the facts.

Al Gore asked a question that made sense?
And Bono had something to say...again?
They have money and the media behind them.
All us little folks who don't get media attention don't count.
Ever been asked a polling question?
I mean a national one?

No. In the redundancy game, I choose bad youtube rock and roll videos, and liberal/socialists. If you're so threatened by a liberal/socialist viewpoint, you probably need to get off social media and start prepping.......cause the Pinkos are coming for you.

i'm! Stereotypes did not get up for no reason, and too many times diverse people stay as a lot as them..yet nonetheless get 'indignant' each and each and every time someone factors it out. extremely, in case you at the on the spot are not residing as a lot as your stereotype, you do not have any reason to be indignant. i imagine all of it stems from the conceit flow, the position all of us turns into too targeted on emotions truly of actuality. the different day I printed a question about the omit us of a pagent...and a white females wrote in (not even remotely responding to my question) and become all disillusioned that there have been no black females interior the finest classification. before each and every thing, in case you at the on the spot are not black, you may want to not be complaining. Secondly, she must have completely neglected the undeniable actuality that 0.5 of the teach consisted of speaking about very last year's omit us of a...who befell to be BLACK. also, if ninety 5% of the girls who run interior the festival are white chicks, odds are a cracker is going to win. i actually hate even as people attempt to tug the race card out of skinny air. in case you do not enable racism die, it not in any respect will. i'm drained of each and each and every of the whining and favor people doesn't be so gentle and upward thrust above it truly of crying like a three-year old. I have had to conquer my own stereotypes, so if i visit, i imagine that any that's straight forward to. (i become born and raised in a purple-neck hick city, the position maximum youthful people became father and mom and dropped out of school. I chosen to artwork flat out, get good grades, get right into a strong college, get knowledgeable, and now I artwork for a wealth administration agency outside of NYC and help cope with portfolios for clients between $5-$35 million in investible resources.)

I love it when artist talk about something larger and more important than themselves.
I don't care if some people think that it is a pollitical sellout, sometimes that's what it takes to stop suffering in the world.

Good Point! Our society seems to think that is a person becomes famous, he or she must be an expert in all fields. Isn't it strange that we ogle over liberal celebrities who are only putting symbolism over substance?
