what should I do

I keep in mind that anything anyone post on the internet without a copyright, instantly becomes public domain.

That's not legally correct, though as a practical matter I suppose it's close enough to being true.

That is something I did not know. Always thought it was considered public domain if you posted something without a copyright online.

Not if it's a creative work, like an article, poem, etc.  There is no requirement to put a copyright notice on material anymore.  It was too silly when people like George Romero and crew would miss out on millions of dollars of profit because someone forgot to put that little (c) on there somewhere.  It's still good practice and there's still a benefit to officially registering a copyright: it's evidence if you ever have to go to court.

lol... I love to believe you are right on this one, but I feel that posting things on the internet without a copyright becomes public domain (or nearly hard to get credit for your stuff) its one of the reasons why I'm not giving full details on my first book (because it's not copyrighted).

I'm right.  See http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html#mywork and http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.pdf for a more detailed explanation.  But as I pointed out, while your work published on the Internet may be legally copyrighted, there are practical reasons to register the copyright (i.e. proof that it was your work, standing to file in federal court).   As you say, it becomes "hard to get credit for your stuff."  Your first book is copyrighted, you just haven't registered the copyright.

ah, obviously this individual hasn't watched Al Jazeera. They have better world news coverage than anything we have here. 

Oh yeah, sure, they have GREAT programing, especially when they broadcast crap like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9RraMYttIQ

Do you have the original show aired by Al Jazeera.. with commentary? News station here talk about white supremacist.. are they advocating for them? Like I said, their world news coverage is more extensive than ours.  But I dont expect you to see that.
