47,924 posts	Yeah, probably. * offtopic : When i first saw this poll i could only see "Should things be kept from the pub.." at the top of the page, and i thought maybe it was about cheap enlgish thieves =p

I'd want to say my goodbyes and make sure I spent the time I have left doing something instead of the usual lazying around. I'd be off to Canada .

504 posts	Maybe it's because I'm nosy, but I think there are close to no circumstances where keeping something from the public is the "right thing to do".

221 posts	yeah but only from the americans they don't know what to do with the truth its better for them if they just believe the lies they're told in other words its better to let things be

1 posts	Yes, I'm not sure if I'd want to know all their secrets.

Even if they did know certain things, it's not like they'd know what to do anyway. Sure there are some things that people need to know, if it makes sense for everyone to know. And sadly, a lot of people would use the information, or the circumstance at hand to their advantage and manipulate and perhaps 'cause harm to others. So in the long run, I believe it is better to keep certain things private and from the public.

13,215 posts	yeah but only from the americans they don't know what to do with the truth its better for them if they just believe the lies they're told in other words its better to let things be * offtopic : I think that is silly to say. America can't win with people who think like this either way. It's either, you police the world too much, or you don't police it enough. People can say what they want about America and pretend to hate it all they want, but in all honesty, the world needs an America to step up and make decisions and take action, when no one else will 'cause they'd rather sit around and do nothing since it's "not their problem." Obviously no one else in the world knows what to do with the truth since they've still done nothing and they supposedly "know" the truth. I'm sorry, but when people make generalizations about America and make statements like this, it really ticks me off.

67 posts	well it really depends on what it is. if it's, say, the Sun turning into a black hole (ahh!) then yes, we should know about it. but if it's something else, like miley cyrus dying her hair, WHO CARES?????? (not me)

127 posts	I don't really understand this question... do they mean, like Aliens? How government keeps that a secret from us? I don't know, the government keeps a LOT of secrets but I believe that we should know about these things.

11,140 posts	* offtopic : I know, I didn't really understand it either.

281 posts	yea, only if its for they're own good

57 posts	well.... maybe... if its lik a huge tornado is cummin... take shelter then the public should no! if is lik.......... idk.............. the president of the U.S. lost a piece of hair then dont tell cause NO ONE will care!!!!!
22-08-2008 03:12 ForgottenAngel
311 posts	No, I think we should be told things so that major crises aren't so surprising. And if people freak out at everything it's their own fault
22-08-2008 03:17 rotciv_00
613 posts	my answer is no cuz there is no it depends option... but truth is WHO CARES???!!!! i mean, its not like ppl who keep secrets from the public are gonna reveal them only for what is said in this poll (even do i see that most of you agree on secrets been kept) and most important, ppl who keeps secrets from us (the goverment, police, FBI, bankers, etc) do it sometimes thinking in the public, and other times thinking in their own interests... which we are not part of, and will never be... so the more you think about it, the more angry you'll get and the more impotent you'll feel

949 posts	I think we as the public have the right to know, even if most of us don't really care, we should still know.

742 posts	[offtopic]wow zjenn4, you are 100% correct. that's pretty much my exact beliefe. people hating on americans for getting involved and helping out countries in need, when they don't realize its saving their lives so they can do nothing
22-08-2008 06:35 frank24tank
10 posts	i would of said yes, but the phrase "for their own benefit/good" is often stretched until it is all a hush, hush situation..... then it turns into a conspiracy so no for the fact that so many people change around their interpritation of rules so that they can use it when it is clearly not an appropriate time....

198 posts	It realy depends on the situation, like everyone else says...

74 posts	hahahaha i agree 100% with black rosette. but i think if its the solid truth than people should know but if its a lie then the media can keep it to themselves
