I didn't get to read it all but I think I have you all beat.

I was at a bar last night and a Miller Lite representative gave me and my friend black ones that say Miller. Yes, a beer company is now using them. We went from cancer research to beer. Admittedly both worthy causes, but they should not be compared to each other.

I was recently sickened to see WalGreen's selling wristbands like the real ones that say stuff like Love. I own 4 wristbands and will only purchase a wristband if I believe in the cause. People who buy large quantities of the LiveStrong ones then resell them some of the lowest people on earth. I am proud of the 4 that I have because they pay for somethign USEFUL, like Tsunami benefit, books in third world countries, pet adoption, and money for a anti-war movie to be shown across the US.

Sickened? Its a fashion accessory. I can't believe people think most of these wristbands exist for anything more than to look good. Yes, Armstrong had done some good to raise money and awareness for cancer, but there have been far better and more successful ways to donate to a cause. I've donated a large portion of my money every year to different causes, and I don't need to show it through some bracelet, a building named after me, or whatever new trend comes down the line. People are wearing them to draw attention to themselves, not the causes they support.

I love how people who consider themselves reasonable can get so angry and frustrated.?:laugh::

One can be reasonable and angry at the same time. They can tie together. For example, I can be reasonable when making a decision and still be mad that I have to make it.

Reasonable:> Capable of reasoning; rational.Angry:> Feeling or showing marked displeasure.

See? They don't contradict eachother. They aren't antonyms. They just don't normally get associated with eachother.

Anyway... get back on topic... :pp :pinch::

Livestrong: theres so much money going toward cancer research and theres so little being done

Beat bullying: Where the **** does that money go? Compensate the bullys who would be getting kids' lunch money?

Beat racism: Wheres that money going?

first off.. all you people who hate the bracelets.. what do you think of people geting ribons? buying poppies? (sorry for spelling) or anything of that nature? its a form of fundraising for a good cause

i think its AWESOME that this has become as popular as it has in some ways. like for the fact people ask about them, and i dont think too many people who answer say "it looks good" they all say what it means to them. how it effects there life.

i think its completly irrational to hate this anymore then hating a poppie you buy for rememberance day, or anything of the sort

Really? I asked my Son why he wants one. His exact words, "it looks good, and my mates have one"!

My Son is 13, he wants one cus his mates have one. His mates want one, cus thier mates have one. Thier mates want one, cus thier mates have one!

Nothing to do with char-i-dee. Pure fashion statement. They don't care where they get one from, or how the money gets divided between charities or wether it even goes to a charity!!!

It's mainly a fashion statement, and that is the sad thing about it. It's now lost it's point!

Does anyone else see the irony in getting/wanting an anti-wristband band? :p That?s a little nuts??:laugh:ugh: I have a LiveStrong one I have had for sometime, I actually have never taken it off since I got it, but this trend has been around for a long time probably 2-3 years before the Livestrong bands even came out..... I think it was Nike who first started it, I remember back when I was playing basketball in high school it was becoming a trend people wearing different NIKE ones, I actually had this guy on my team who had like 10 different col:ps :p The referees would not let you play with them on thou:laugh:ugh: if they saw you with one they would make you take it off........

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
