Heavy Hitting Question of the Week

_MB_POSTED_BY admin in question-of-the-week
 Welcome to the weekly section of this blog called
Question of the Week: This is where I ask a preposterously pontificating (and probably rhetorical) question... Then you answer it as best as you can... preferably with another question 
(or you know, however you want...)  
 

Question of the Week:

As a society, do we really care about a celebrity's death more than the hundreds dying in Iran just the day before? Do we care more about a million $$ talent than a million children starving to death- right now?? 

 

Can you make a comment that will restore my faith in humanity?

- The madly confused blogger...who may have been stopped in her tracks.

 

 PS. here is an MSNBC article about what happened on the internet yesterday w/ MJ and Iran etc... They say that just because everyone was tweeting & posting things on facebook about Jackson doesn't mean they 'forgot' about Iran...I have to beg to differ there. I mentioned this to some friends also and many didn't even hear about the massacre that had just occurred! What are we all paying attention to?? Sure, even in Iran they are mourning for him... I just think we need to keep a little perspective that's all. We don't pay enough attention as it is to what happens in the world, let alone when we are allowed to be distracted by something like the death of a pop legend...Voices of dissent are there for a reason NBC, thank you very much.

Seriously I'd say that a lot of athletes and sportsmen and women take ugg store. If a drug that effective and being available for so long has had no reliable way to test for it until the last few years then many athletes are going to have used it.

The thing is, professional athletes should be tested all year round. Most doping is done in off season training so that the body is in top condition for when the season starts Replica watches. Its no good just testing people during the season because they wont always still be doping then.

Halfway through the year SPIN tipped their hand by offering the 20 Greatest Albums Of 2009 ... So Far. If you remember, the list wasn't in any specific order. Their 40 Best ugg boots store Albums Of 2009 are, and it's interesting to see all the titles that popped up after the last one was published. As well as the albums that missed the cut after Cheap watches
they were spun a bit more: Peter Bjorn And John, Blk Jks, Regina Spektor, Glasvegas, Mavado, and Sa-Ra Creative Partners are nowhere to be found. The list -- one of oh so many lists -- is also refreshingly interesting in and of itself, a fine example of a publication stepping outside of the hive mentality and coming up with something that feels personal. Even if I don't personally agree with a lot of it.
