AC/DC Frontman Says Bono's Good Deeds Are Cheap {PopEater}
Feb 3rd 2010 10:53PM I do like hearing where artists stand in the proper forum. That would be in an interview on the topic, or perhaps in a writing of their own. Musicians have a liberal stage for expressing political beliefs - its called the music they choose to record. I do not pay to go to a concert and be preached at.
I also agree that charity begins at home. We have a crisis here in the United States. Might behoove these big artists like Pitt, Clooney, Jolie, ect to start investing some in helping out those here in the US - because at this rate, we won't be afford to go to movies and pay their paychecks soon.
Telemarketer Tells All {AOL Jobs}
Jan 28th 2010 6:07PM Well, from reading these comments I suppose that I should quit the only job I could find when I was laid off, and go back on wellfare and food stamps in order to avoid offending everyone by doing the only paying job I could find in this cruddy economy. I suppose you would rather chip in to pay my bills for me than have me go deal with all these lovely plans you have to punish me for trying to support my own family without help from federal or state agencies. Is that what you are getting at?
I understand how annoying telemarketers can be, and I really do not care for my job. I do prefer working to being on well-fare, food stamps, and medicade since I am capable of working. Telemarketers like the author if this article really do explain why I get cussed out on average of 15 to 20 times a day, though. Personally, I just remember how much I hate getting these same calls and blow off the rudeness I receive. I remind myself its a choice - do this job or go on wellfare. The choice becomes pretty simple. Deal with the verbal abuse and threats (yes I get threatened) because I have a family to feed. Unless one of you lovely people are going to pony up a job for me, I guess I'm going to keep the one I do have until something better comes along. No matter how viscious the person I call gets, I do try to end the call thanking them for their time, and wishing them a pleasant evening. Who knows, maybe they had a rotten day, and them exploding on me helped them vent steam. I really don't care. I'm not on wellfare, I have benefits for health and dental (not optical unfortunately), and I keep food on the table and a roof over my kids' heads. By the way, before anyone even thinks of going there - all three, same father. He simply went into midlife crisis and decided he didn't wish to be a husband or father any longer. Not for sympathy, but to avoid any of those nasty comments about 'well you should have kept your legs closed' that I KNOW these lovely people that sometimes post would have made. I am an educated woman who fell on hard times, and simply took the only job I could find. Seriously, someone want to pony up a better job, I'll happily DO that job.
DMZ water coming to a Korean grocery store near you {Gadling}
Jan 5th 2010 5:59PM A good water filtration system on the tap, and a nice reusable container to fill up (a pitcher to keep some chilled in the fridge, and a good bottle to take with me to work that is not plastic) are my ideas of 'bottled water'. Unless on the road, I don't purchase any of the stuff regardless of where it is bottled.
The bottles fill up landfills, the plastics are often not recycled, and well - why PAY stupid amounts for water that just usually came from the tap from somewhere else anyway?
As far as DMZ water? Who knows what kind of stuff that ground water was contaminated with during the war. It hardly seems safe or responsible to sell that.
The 'Kill Obama?' Facebook poll is no joke for the Secret Service {Daily Finance}
Sep 30th 2009 11:32AM Ombama took office during a crisis that he did not create, but it falls upon him to fix. That means that he is going to shoulder the blame for all the horrible things, but I do hope that when/if things start going right he will get the credit as well. I am not his biggest fan, but I do not blame him for the state of affairs currently encountered by the US.
The polarization of our politics that has gotten this extreme is not going to be conductive to solutions to the problems that our president currently faces. There are people out there who will find fault with, and object to, everything that Obama says or does just because it is him doing it. It is time to bridge the gap, put pride on the back burner, and come together to solve the very real problems faced by our nation. Obama may not be the perfect president, but wake up and smell the coffee people - he IS our President now.
American Girl's Newest Doll is Homeless {ParentDish}
Sep 25th 2009 8:45AM Well, the face of American Homelessness is changing. Schools now offer showers and clothing assistance to children of homeless families in my city. Shelters that offer short term lodging are full, but they continue to offer the means to wash themselves and eat these days. The stereotype of the homeless person as a dirty, social reject who is homeless due to their inability to control some addiction or the other no longer applies. In the world of layoffs, and people avoiding responsibilities (not just fathers, plenty of dead beat mothers out there too) - the face of homelessness is rapidly becoming the faces of a family.
I do agree with whomever said $95 to teach your child about homelessness is excessive UNLESS a portion of that money would go to fund help FOR those same homeless.
