Two years ago (June 1, 2004), readers were introduced to the Making Sense Message Boards. This board was designed to attract those who want to read and debate issues involving politics, religious discussion, Entertainment, health, and psychology.
Breakthroughs:
Politics: My goal in the politics forum is to get informed on the issues, bring the information to the people within its correct context, and them to light. Ignorance is a very strong tool that is used by some in order to advance their own agenda. Here at Making Sense, I have used the most reliable sources, and spend great deals of time researching what I later profess. The goal is to promote accuracy in facts, and shape an informed opinon based on them.
After all, when one understands how things work and gathers substantial information, reporting the facts within it's correct context reveal the fact that the politicians (as representatives of us) that use ignorance as a political weapon to deceive people are exposed as the deceivers they are. The politics forum is designed to give people an all around understanding of the facts.
Religious Discussion: My goal for this area is to defend Christianity by answering those who want to challenge it. The difference between Faith and Religion is that faith is choosing Christ by free will and setting up a personal relationship with him through the Holy Spirit, and Religion is a system which, by power, controls (by guilt and intimidation) its people in order to maintain and increase its wealth. This topic also welcomes challenging other religions in question. I love a challenge.
Entertainment: (Television and Film)
I have always loved television, radio, and movies. Besides my intensely researched accounts of classic TV shows, I have also reviewed feature films, and discussed some of the latest movie/Entertainment news that interests me. As Hollywood seems to be running out of ideas, and remaking most of its old classics, it can be a pain to wonder what is good or okay and what sucks.
Psychology and Health:
The psychology section was originally designed to help spark understanding and insight into people's lives regarding matters that affect us on a day to day basis. If anyone has a problem and needs some advice, I urge you or them to post it in this section. You never have to use your real name. Otherwise, I will continue to post the most mainstream concerns and the simple solutions that have proven to be effective remedies when tried.
For the Health post, it's goal is to raise awareness towards scientific breakthroughs that may not be the exposed enough. Posting existing news stories regarding healthmatters here is also a way for people to be aware of them even when they are reported in the media, but come and go. This way, people have a chance today or 6 months from now to gain understanding on how to live healthier.
Holidays:
Every year, during the various Holidays, I provide information that will explain how and why the holidays we celebrate are indeed holidays. For example, did you know that St. Patricks Day is a Holiday with a Christian meaning in Ireland? Some of the holidays that we "get happy" on are rich in information and insight, but their true meanings are either tossed aside or do not reach the uninformed and misinformed. But when the Holidays approach us, you can count on this board to shine the light on the true meanings of the Holidays we celebrate.
Achievements:
On February 25, 2006, Making Sense Message Boards registered with Yahoo to create e-mail blasts to those who sign up for their free, no strings attached membership. The first E-mail blast was sent on March 27, 2006 to inform readers of new material.
All in all, I am very pleased with what we have accomplished within the past 2 years. If you have any ideas or suggestions as to how this board can evolve further into greatness, please let me know at Making_Sense_Publications@yahoo.com.
Remember, new columnists are encouraged. If there are articles that you want to write, and want to gain momentum, then post them here, and then promote them by e-mail, business cards, and what not. After all, if you promote this board, you are promoting your work and mine. When I promote this board, I am promoting your work and mine. If each of us can do that, then anyone interested in this idea can really get the Making Sense Message Boards on the map even moreso than normal.
Until then, Thank you for your visits and your contributions. Enjoy the goodies yet to come throughout this next year .
Yours Truly,
Rob W. Case
