keep up with what's new and what's next
Follow along with iReport staffers as we build a new kind of news site.
Is it possible to have a healthy online discussion without it
deteriorating into a hate-filled shouting match? Here at
iReport.com, we think the answer is yes.
Last night a heated discussion was born -- sparked by a video
taken by iReporter
skc of protestors
being
arrested in San
Francisco on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war.
The lively conversation began with concern for the
protestors, and quickly evolved into discussions about the Iraq
war, the terror attacks of 9/11, civil rights, civil disobedience,
stability in Iraq, the economy, and the race for the White House,
etc.
Why is this worth noting?
Because iReport.com is more than just a place to share your
stories; it's also a place to come to discuss your stories, and
share your opinions.
This is your site. So go ahead, join the conversation.
There's one happening right now at iReport.com.

where are all the people who are against the war. I hear about them
all the time. So where are they??????
Boy do I remember the protests of the Vietnam war, Passion and resolve were the basics for that war. I fel no passion, It makes me very sad to hear and see the reports from the middle or left thet seem so unwilling to make some waves. The right seems to know how to rile up there masses, we seem to be just there.... Bush has really messed things up across the board, and he seems to be geting away with it. What's going on???? Wheather they win this part of the war now, give it a few years and it will be all the same thing again. Just leave that part of the world alone and maybe we might not have so many enimies wanting to kill us. Think about it, there always have been striff there and there always will. We should leave them alone. Lots more to come.... Pete in Phoenix | |

Comment on the Rev. debacle:
Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons really highlighted the fact that it has been politically ok, for blacks to publicly bash whites for years and years. People have been turning the other cheek on this for a very long time, and I feel it's a good thing that this happened. Comedians like "Chris Rock" and shows like "the Boondocks" are vessels to what has been creating a standard that has been creating more and more hate. I hope more people see this happening besides me and a few others. Either that, or people are just trying to ignore it. | |

My Pastor is off the chain too. One sermon made me want to wait for
him outside with a brick - then, there was another sermon where; i
left sad and lonely and came happier than-a-lark..that was my last
vist.

I know that Pastor's or whomever your spiritual leader is has said
something you didn't agree with but you remained in the church for
the times that you did agree and for your spiritual growth. People
don't always see eye to eye but you don't disown them for it. MLK
said things when he was alive that people wouldn't agree with but
he is and was a Great speaker and he understood people. I am hoping
that Barack Obama gets the presidency as he could unite our country
and hopefully the different races and religions that live here in
Our UNITED STATES! I am a 58 year old white woman who believes that
we should and Can live together as it says in the Bible! We should
all unite to make our country great again and to show other peoples
of the world that we cannot be destroyed from within! WE CAN MAKE A
CHANGE!

THE SKIN THING
I have noticed that some people judge others based on the color of their skin. Some people have told me that they don't like "black" people. Some have told me they don't like "white" people. I am confused when they tell me that because I can't remember ever seeing a person with black skin, or ever seeing a person with white skin. At a recent gathering of Caucasians, African Americans and Hispanics I voiced my confusion. People responded to me like I was nuts! So, to explain myself, I suggested that all of the African Americans put a piece of black paper under their fore-arm. I suggested that the others put a white piece of paper under their fore-arms. Then I asked them if any of their skins were the same color as the paper under their arm. Every single person told me that their skin appeared to be brown. Not only that, but each African American who called themselves "black" said that their arm appeared to be a different shade of brown than many of the other "blacks", and the Caucasians and Hispanics also said that most of their arms all seemed to be uniquely different shades of brown. So, I said, "That is the reason for my confusion. My eyes tell me that everyone has different shades of brown skin - and different colored eyes, and hair, and differently shaped bodies. Each of us appears to be like a snow flake - no two are exactly the same. That's why I don't understand this Skin Thing - For me, our differences are what make each of us special and interesting. If everyone was just like me, I think, the world would be a very boring place." Peace and Joy | |

WAS EINSTEIN WRONG ? ITS ABOUT GRAVITY - ITS ABOUT SPACE....
A new theory for Faster Then Light Speed Space Travel has hit the book market. The name of the author is Rodney Kawecki of Los Angeles California. The book title " The Supertellic Electromagnetic Gravitational Universe Technology Theory ". The author of this defiines the means for faster then light space travel within the frameworks of the standard model of the Universe. His formula stems as an extension he calls 'The Quantum Constant that mathermatically is equal to 372,000 miles per second. THE FIRST BOOK EVER COVERING A MATHEMATICAL FORMULAAE FOR FASTER THEN LIGHT SPACE TRAVEL. The basis of his theory illustrates a passage in the Universes physical structure that allows for FTL within the framework of relativity and E=Mc2 entailed by Einstein's atomic energy constant. But what does cahnge is the velocity. Kawecki explains that the theory of relativity developed by Einstein is a science of gravitation. Gravitation being the interuption entity that slows objects as they accelerate. Since matter velcoities on the earths suraface are slowed down by gravity which he explains is not an actually field as Einstein claims. But that gravity slows objects from them having the ability to travel at their full potential. It is this potential that in empty interstellar space allows a speed of an object to increase by. From traveling at the speed of light - 186,000 m/s the light constant called the Kawecki Constant in the Supertellic Universe book increases to twice the velocity or as I mentioed 372,000 m/s. The interuption of TIME in Kawecki's theory is bound by the new velcoity that in relativity the infinite future is dialogued. But in The Quanta Physics Study " is increased where time flows baackwards as a result from traveling at the speed of light and traveling the infinite future dimension frame. Kawecki has transformed the dialogue of advance modern physics to a fantastic intermeiate literature. Believed to be a fact of the science in modern physics Rodney Kawecki beleives his theory is unique enough to be accepted as a sound and protective dialogue for future scientific exploration technology. SEGUTT short spelling for the title of the book. Is an ambitious book literature comparable to quantum dynamics and relativity and those physicists in the developement of classical modern physivs advancements. Even though The Supertellic Force' asserts a faster velocity then relativity its mathematics are in sequence with relativity equations. Acting as an extension SEGUTT or The Quanta Physics Study ' illustrates an increase in objectal velocity traveling through open interstellar space assumed to Albert Einstein to be the same as his gravity field figures. This diivsion of space and field desrciptions are separated in Q.P.T. study math and explained as separate entity fields. That approach not relevent with Einstein's work that is contradicted. As such this book is a must read for community intterest groups that are most interested in science especially modern physics and controvercy about the Universe space time and future exploration technology. Written well enough that a layman can read. This book I guarentee won't let you put it down. THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTERT THEN LIGHT SPACE TRAVEL IS WITHIN THE DESIGN TO TRAVEL TO PLANETS OUTSIDE ARE OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. THE WAY SCIENCE IS TODAY SUCCH FEATS ARE IMPOSSIBLE. THIS HAS BEEN PUBLICED IN ALBERT EINSTEIN'S SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL'S IN GENERAL AND SPECIAL RELATIVITY. ALL THI IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. ALONG WITH IT A LOT OF SCIENCE BASED ON EINSTEIN'S LIGHT CONSTANT SPACE TRAVEL SPEED LIMIT CALLED " THE UNIVERSAL SPEED LIMIT "". | |

I believe that it is not only posable but necessary to talk about
this debacle of a war.
Gorge W. Bush has used fear of the unknown, few outside of the faith of islam understand its long history and its attachment to Christianity and Judaism. So the fear of the unknown, coupled with an unhealthy amount of religious riotousness is a dangerous brew. This concoction not unlike that used by the popes of the crusades to justify there crusade. The move from religion to militant holy war on both the islamist and the Gorge W. Bush and his fundamentalist views, of one being gods soldiers. The other terrorists is fundamentally flawed both equally wrong. What we are destroying on both sides is our YOUTH. In other words our FUTURE! It's time for PEACE! Either side is right and the killing MUST STOP! We must see that both faiths spring from the same story. I am personally not inclined to believe in a higher being but that is for a variety of reasons one being people of faith kill in the name of god to spite the fact that killing is forbidden by all 3 faiths. I believe in finding common ground for all Races, Religions & Abilities, As I am disabled and have faced discrimination because of that difference. I am pleased to join this discussion and am ready to answer any questions provided that the question is asked nicely and that I do not conceder it too personal but I look forward to lively conversation. have a wonderful day. I hope you find a reason to smile. I find smiling even when you do not feel like it helps improve the way you feel. I hope it works for you too. | |

? Obama's judgement?? They say that he should of known about Rev.
Wright. But Hillary should of known about Bill Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky, And that is in her own house.
Also in the Compassion Debate hillary was ask if she recieved the Holy Ghost, (she did not know) and they ask if God put her on theis journey and she said "no" | |
