isn't it funny?

There are people starving and homeless but yet we would rather consume ourselves with things that have no intrinsical value..Just a thought....

SAE1955, you have a very valid point here. I agree we must all do our parts to help save the world.

I think a lot of us do though. I volunteered for 2 hours playing with underpriviledged kids today (I had to cut back on hours b/c of finals), and I am sure I am not in the minority here.
That being said, I like talking about J-Lo, reading Maxim and Cosmo and posting about Kate Spade bags.

I will be the first to admit that I would rather pick up Glamour magazine than U.S. News and World Report. The news is depressing. The world can be a sad and unhappy place. So, for me, talking about the new boots I want to buy is something that I would rather talk about than sad things. That doesn't mean I am not doing my part to help or that I don't care.

You sound pretty upset about this topic, and justifiably so.....but being mean isn't going to help communication. How about this, what do you think we should do?
