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::

Well said, i have a Livestrong, Beat Bullying + Anti racism all on one wrist :)

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?

I bought off BritishWristbands...came in 3 days or so...no scam though :)

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

...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.

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!

mainly? i really dont think its mainly 13 year olds buying all these bracelets

My point exactly.

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........

I found a Very Interesting Report about Wristbands Spams and one website is:

Bristish Wristbands

I ordered from them 12 Days ago and No wristbands have came, i have cancelled my Order and see if i can get some on Ebay!

Here is the Report:

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
