Anyone can ask a question or give an answer to any question.

Here's my question:

How can Misled Youth exist "on both sides of the screen?" By that i mean building a community of creative, active, unified young people both online and in the real world. How can these sides compliment each other rather than seem separate?

ok, hope i get a response. It sure is lonely on these forums.

Reply 2 Q1

well short .. reply .. not sure really ..

"How to .. building a community of creative, active, unified young people both online and in the real world."

Hmm .. merge the two is only thing I can think of ...
.. except for "crazy" (all relative to whatever is normal) ideas like places that physically merge online activities & "real" physical ones .

Ehhh ... I guess merge is still my answer in a way .. keep the two connected & updated on what is happening on both "sides" .. .

how that works in reality .. dony know .. .

I think the problem for now is that the interaction online is too well uninteractive ... on something like a forum .. .

Well .. how to merge blogs web cams IM chats etc all that stuff seamlessy with something like a forum .

My "answer" I can think off .

BTW : I love the Orange for the headers Smiling

New Unrelated Question

A long time ago, I read an article on how around the time of the 9/11 attacks, a book was banned by the U.S. government. So much for the first amendment. Does anybody know what this book is, or where an on it article is? I have been looking for one.
