Know Your Rights!

Friday, March 12, 2010


I am really not new to forums. I have actually administered 4 forums in my lifetime and they go about subjects for school, sports, general information and technology. I have actually toned down in the recent years. I got as high as 6 communities which on some instances already battled with my time with work. I had to prioritize that but I never got them removed from my system because I like the feeling of belonging to a community. I specifically like the consumer forum since I get to communicate with the users directly. It is the ability to help people who purchase their everyday stuff that gets me to visit their forum. One example of this is the Consumer Court Forum (India). Even if I am a starting member in this community I know how it already works. Have you ever bought stuff from businesses that you later find out to be defective?! How about properties that promise SHANGRILA but you end up in the middle of nowhere?! Those are the things we should avoid when buying products or services and I would not be surprised if one day we become victims of unscrupulous individuals.

What is this forum all about?! Why protect the consumers?! It is all about users helping other users on their dilemma. Protecting the consumers from large corporations and entities is one way of helping each other. If you are alone and battle it out with companies that are funded with millions of dollars you would never win any court case. If you voice out your opinions on these free boards from the Consumer Court Forum and if there are people around the world who have the same problem with the product and service that you got, then you are going to be able to communicate together your concern. It is a fact that there is unspoken power in numbers. This is new media and there are thousands of people who view these pages every day. I know how the metrics run in communities like them and it is very powerful to get your point across. Enjoining other users to report problems so the companies could act on it is one way of also helping yourself. Make sure you join this forum and protect your rights and your family.

Argue with Me!

Monday, February 02, 2009


I know I haven't been the most pleasing person in the University of the East. I did not plan to even be one as a matter of fact. I usually am heard leading arguments here and there. I keep it a point that people hear what I'm thinking about in any topic or form. I stand on my moral high ground most of the time and deal with students, professors and politicians in my town. I don't care if they plan to beat me in a word war because I'm one of those people who can handle it. This is my forte and I keep it real.

I even joined debates, essay writing contests, general information quiz shows and have championed most of them. I don't want to brag about it but I handle my self well even if you ask some of my peers. A class discussion in history for example made me butt heads with 50 students. I insisted on my point even if I knew at that time that I was raising the issue incorrectly. I was just amused because nobody could disprove me even if they tried ha-ha!

Today, there’s a new place where you and I can do the same feat and it’s at http://www.arguewitheveryone.com/. The site is generally not moderated so you can get the no holds barred political debate ambiance you want. I would never miss the opportunity to join them so why should you be the last one to do so, right?!
