THIS IS TOTALLY BULLSHIT!
that's what im saying
when i watched this on saturday morning (here in Australia), someone on the other side of the house blurted out to me that this concert was a complete and utter waste of time
and someone further backed it up by saying that this was for the wrong intention
and in many ways it came across to me that america IS the richest country in the world. they have the nickname 'the land of opportunity' just because someone bombed a landmark, doesnt mean that they are suddenly palestine
that these celebrities were giving an hour of their time to this cause was also hypocritical as well because as much as each person could have donated, one but couldnt help the fact that a day's work for these so-called 'stars' would have been able to amass whatever 'people worldwide' could do
i mean when dave matthews was performing, someone said that this was very similar to someone on the side of the street singing with a guitar begging for money, and money which isnt used for any good reason
which leads me to another point, that what on earth was going to happen with this money? are they going to like use this to just kill more people, just as 'innocent' as those killed at the wtc attack?
i mean they say they are going to compensate victims of the attack, but hasnt anyone heard of a thing called 'insurance'? ok sure this is a terrorist attack and stuff like this isnt covered surely fucked up insurance companies should have some heart and give some compensation
i mean i was just thinking in the case of the former american basketball player manute bol, when he finished his basketball career he gave his 10s of millions he got from his mediocre play to support a civil war. and now he's bankrupt. well.. der! its no wonder someone deserves to be bankrupt after contributing to a fucked up cause like that hey?
and this so called telethon is in the same vein as the case of manute, people using their hard earned, just because they want to release blind vengeance on people just as innocent on the other side of the fence
i mean they are going to be comparing this thing to something like live aid organised by bob geldof all those years ago and to a lesser extent netaid a couple of years ago. but bob had his heart in the right place, that those people were unjustly trapped in a world they clearly never had any control over when they were born. this tribute to heroes thing is rubbish because we are just giving compensation to those who may be feeling grief right now, but will end up feeling like they won lotto, ok, you might have lost someone close to you, but youre still alive right? you can still walk, you are still breathing therefore there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. ok the terrorists may have taken your close one's life, yet this world is still a free place just as the same as having the right to choose to be sad, we still have the right to choose to be happy.
and for those who lost their jobs when the WTC came down, well those are some of the smartest, most cunning people in the world, as if they need compensation, they will find jobs and possibly a better life
if anything, a charity for the poor people in afghanistan suffering because of that oppressive taliban regime should have been more in the order
all i can say is: this world is completely and utterly fucked
*i shall step off my soapbox*
