My original comment: You are exploiting 911's horrific tragedy for the production of this video in a way that I find improper. You quote an agency of our government that needs no publicity (I know a few of the fine people who work(ed) there). While your video tells leaders that general things need to be done....nothing new at all.... you offered no practical solutions and you did not seek to empower others to be heard the way I do in my own submitted video. This was not creative or compelling.

free advice man. I thought about responding to your original comments, but I dont think you're interested in dialogue. I do believe in democracy and expressing alternat opinions, but I dont believe in hurling abuse at one another, your comments just degenerate this forum into mud slinging.

[kirstymat]

I am sorry that I offended you. I never made this video to win a contest. I did it because I believe in justice and because I cant sit back and watch people suffer outrageous cruelty and neglect, and do nothing about it. I agree that my video was neither terribly creative nor terribly compelling, I am sure there were more deserving videos out there. I commend you on 'seeking to empower others to heard' in your video and I take your criticism that I did not do this.

[kirstymat]

Maybe, instead of bickering, we can work together to give those people a voice and to find practical solutions to the global issue that you and I both care so much about.

[TheFreeAdviceMan]

I semi agree and aside from my problem with a few images in this particular entry, the little "CIA" plug, we should admit that Kirtsy is truly interested in listening to divergent opinions in a fair-minded way. That is priceless! Someone who can learn so fast can do wonderful things! Wouldn't you agree. There are three videos I really have serious qualms about: the one with the "Jesus is the way" comment, the one made by a Pro-Photographer who abused a personal tragedy, and the other mutiplicity

but HOW, !!!!!!!!!HOW!!!!!!, this contest, again, is for SOLUTIONS, not to reoutline problems

[MichaelHejazi]

Act now? In what way? Aren't you pontificating by making this spliced clip mixed video? What do you mean by current form of globalization? This video is intellectually meaningless.
