I have an idea for a live rant site and I could use some feedback on how to start.

My thinking is to go live every nite and rant about something and get a feedback from people who might be listening. Nothing would be taboo IE I would comment on anything.

 

Here is an example.

If I was Oprah I would look to america and perhaps build private low cost schools for the children here instead of Africa. And here is why, Who made this woman rich? Americans. Who watches her program? Americans. Who put her on that pedastal? Americans.

So I say to you Oprah, if you care so much about children then help educate ours.

Thats just one topic I could touch on, at this point I leave it open to veiwers to comment. And then read there comment back live on the internet. I think this could work.

First off, Oprah was right about how spoiled and entitled we are.

Secondly ... Oprah made Oprah rich.

Thirdly ...

This is really not hard. Video wise, people do it on YouTube all the time. You could just get a blog and have everyone link to their own videos. But are you really making the world a better place with all that ranting? ]

I think Rush Limbaugh already has the market covered for bigoted, nationalist, sexist, and racial rants. Would your rants cover people like Bill Gates, who is doing philanthropic work under a similar situation, or would white men be excluded from your rants?

I think your efforts would be better spent if you provided goods or services that were productive to society (in whatever country you choose), rather than destructive and combative. I think there are more than enough venues available in which people can complain, and not enough people using their energy for noble causes in the US or elsewhere in the world. Why not create an admirable example for others to follow in the way you think things should be done? Wouldn`t that be a better use of your life?

Show me the example, and no everyone is at risk when it comes to a rant.

On a lighter side I would like to say thanks, that,sthe kind of feedback I,m looking for.

You hit it right on. Now I could go back with your comment and say this. I could be wrong and if I am then it takes people like you to correct it. So I say thank you for perhaps showing myself and others how you would feel.

I understand how you feel, but many celebrities are reaching out to third world countries including adoption. Oprah is not the only person filling in the void for help. As you know, Oprah does donate heavily in our schools in America, and through her own networks. As far as Bill Gates, he is a globalist too.

It`s easy to complain. I do it every day! It`s so much more difficult to captivate others attention and educate them on why or how a new way is better.

I have thought about creating a "rant" blog... I decided it was counter productive. Everyone (and I mean everyone, because my views are so perfect) would agree with me, yet it doesn`t change a thing.

BTW, "my views are perfect" was only to illustrate that no one`s views are perfect... even when they are... Figure that out.

Start a blog. It`s easy and free. Advertise it and see if you get any
responses and a following of readers. It takes nothing to start it other
than your efforts. I don`t even understand what you are asking for on
here. Just do it.

I agree with Steve.  A blog would probably be the best way to accomplish this.  You could post video as well as audio.

Oprah is self-made and I think it is great that she sees a great need for education in Africa and she`s doing something about it.  The only danger is there is so much corruption in those governments (yes, even more than in our own) that I fear her efforts may not be lasting.
