Celebrity news, really a "news"?

October 31st 2006 00:09

with so much going around the world, from genocide in Sudan to war in Iraq and Palestin, i find it difficult to accept the fact that media labels the celebrity happenings as "news". is the right? is it a news?

no. it is not a news because celebrities are people who have pampred life, fat bank accounts and insulated lives. why should the whole world known when Paris Hliton is arrested for DUI, when the actual news in Palestin is not covered by the US media ( i am really peeved against CNN).. and why should i know that Britney Spears' good for nothing husband is a aspiring singer? is that a matter of national importance?

i am sick of the coverage celebrities get. you know this kind of fake journalism is overshadowing the real journalism, this cancer is eating up the honourable craft..

how many of you know that a student from Palestin was not allowed to study in an Israeli University for her PhD by the Israeli Government't security law? do you believe that this incident deserves a better coverage than the life drug addicted bozos like Bobby Brown and Whitney Huston?

yes yes yes

questioning head scarf row: height of hypocrisy

October 29th 2006 02:49

i swear i am ready to explode the moment i heard something about this "head scarf" row.

first of all, if you tout liberty and personal freedom then let the women decide. if they want to wear it, let them. personally, i am not a fan of the face covering veil but don't mind the the head scarf. dressing up is a personal choice and i can't stand people telling us women what to wear and what not to. we decide! final.

then there is the question of multi-culturism. hmm this is a tricky one. lets say u are a christian. you are free to wear the crufix sign, as a piece of jewelery. but then the multiculturism is suddenly is grave danger if a muslim woman decides to wear a head scarf?? please explain to me how on earth is ths possible?

let me say this again, personally i donot support the face covering veil. but someone wants to wear then it is their decision. we can allow women to pose naked for PlayBoy but a women who choose to cover her face is suddenly a danger to multicultural society? height of hypocrisy

Going dumb in Nepal

October 22nd 2006 00:40

situation in Nepal seems like a dumb and dumber contest. the maoists and the political parties in the current government are practically at each other's throat trying to win the title of the dumbest. people already have the dumb title and the king is dumber. let me explain:

maoists who inspite of a peace agreement are continuing the voilence and intimidating the people. they are so close to actually foraming the government that everyone in the country has chosen not to hold them accountable for their past acts, fearing voilent reprisal. they get moy vote for "dumbest"

in the other had the political parties in current government are head over heels in love with the maoists. they are afraid of them too.this love and scare makes and interesting combinaton. as a reault the peace process in nepal for all purpose looks like a circus. thet get my vote for "dumber" and the "dumbest"

god save the people from these lunatics..

This is how Pakistan supports terrorism (like you didn't know that..)

October 19th 2006 02:11

Ok listen up people, if u believe that Pakistan is serious about battling terrorism then its time to come out of your dream world.

They released the founder of a terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Toiba from his detention. So now he is free to carry on his activities. This particular organization is very active in India, especially the Indian controlled Kashmir

Asian in Latinized USA

October 17th 2006 01:31

Yes I am an Asian living in Latinized USA. The country’s largest minority is basking in its glory while other minorities, like Asians, African Americans, Europeans, Middle Easterners are feeling alienated. Let me talk with an Asian standpoint.

Television has programs with Latin/Hispanic characters, there is a boom of Latin music and every one seems to be enjoying a tortilla or nacho and cheese but Asians are no where to be seen. We are stereotyped as the "brains" or the "geeks" and no one cares to understand us

Dealing with unemployment in Saudi Arabia and Mark Foley

October 5th 2006 03:51

Read in BBc.com that unemployment in Saudi Arabia is rising. Well with all the money they get from oil it shouldn't be a problem. But unfortunately it is. Imagine thousands of Saudi males, educated but unemployed, frustrated, Angry. Bin Laden's recruitment dram come true.
Something has to be done, but sadly situation is not very promising. You see in a country where 80 to 90% of students graduate with a degree in Islamic studies, religious studies and history (or some other Liberal Arts subject) it is almost impossible to start a high tech boom like one happening in India or a self employment boom. It is time Saudi Arabia modernize it education system.

MARK FOLEY, YOU SICK FREAK

October 3rd 2006 21:12

Now that the adventure of Congressman Mark Foley has been revealed, I believe that the best thing to do would be to arrest this guy and press charges against him. Not only did he violate his office and trust of the people, he abused an underage person.. If a common man done the same he would be in jail by now. But this freak is still free to walk around and enjoy his life. Why??
