You’ve probably had millions of these in your lifetime, but maybe you haven’t had a chance to share your ideas with the world outside of your college professors, drinking buddies, and coworkers. Here’s your chance. Ideas posted on BigThink.com can take the form of a question or a statement. You can, of course, interpret that however you wish, but bear in mind that by submitting an idea, you’re entering it into the public sphere. Sure, some of your ideas will be greeted with hearty hurrahs, but others might be met with strident disagreement. But that’s the fun of it. Enough preaching to the choir, enough ideological isolationism. We want to pull you into a lively and challenging debate. So what ideas qualify? Anything goes, really. It can be something you read and thought was interesting, or something you might bring up in conversation or over dinner with friends. Or you can think of it this way: what do you know that you think others should, too?

an idea is a possable answer to an asked question [things are somewhat backwards here ]
here it seems asking a question is an idea

generally speaking normal people who have no ideas ask questions hoping the answer gives them an idea ,[either they like the question’s reply or they reject the answer ,

either way where before there was only an unknown [ie a question]they now have something that by adopting or rejecting yet gives them an idea

to go and read someones ideas [here] do not be suprised to find only questions ,that are rightfully only questions searching for your idea
yet in replying you arnt credited with giving them an reply [ie an idea]but they are for asking the question

you will notice many people repeating the same question [sorry i mean idea] but no one has any idea what to reply to the multiple questioners [sorry ideas]

so what i have found is to double post my ideas ,so i can keep track of my own ideas, rather than them just disappeareing into the mass of unanswered questions [sorry idea’s]

i will now post this idea [sorry reply] that thankfully has allready evolved into a more simple method
pushing send sends the screen grey, i log in [despite comming in through my one under god page and my idea [sorry answer] goes into this poster file

but i learned after losing 6 other ideas [sorry answers to others questions to cut and paste my idea [sorry answer as my own idea at my own page ]

no doudt when people get more of an idea they will build a collection of thier own ideas [sorry answers] but im getting a head ache now
so i will go through the process , and rest till others get more ideas [sorry questions]
still its something to do [even if by reply i just get lost , because im the one with no idea
wish me luck
all the best

try to save your own replies as your own ideas [it seems strange but it works] untill they come up with a better idea
