Time magazine really needs to grow a backbone. First it was picking Rudy as Person of the Year instead of Osama. Now instead of picking Saddam they have chosen "The American Solider." Is this a joke? On one hand we have a dictator so dangerous (according to Bush at least) that we had to invade an entire country without delay to get him. On one hand we have a dictator who has eluded the entire US military for months on end until he was sold out by some relatives. On the other hand we have "the American soldier" doing his job. Yes, a dangerous job, but a relatively ordinary job at that. And let's be frank, 500 deaths, this ain't Vietnam. Don't get me wrong, lots of respect the men and women of the military, but Person of the Year? Time magazine, you suck ass.

 

Wow.

 

i wouldnt waste ink and printing osama's or saddam's ugly ass face, the american soldier should be there, i feel like shooting you

 

umm..ok. now i know who time panders to.

 

who really gives a rat's ass who they give it to? not like it's a monetary award or anything. is it really gonna make a huge difference in the world if they HAD given it to one of those sick f***s?

really, let the magazine pay some respect, not like it's hurting anyone. nobody WITH A LIFE ever really paid attention to them anyways.

 

Well, between Osama, Saddam and the "soldier"... i'd say the soldier is most fitting... i dont need to walk by the bookstore and see osama's dirty face or saddam with a doctor going through his mouth any more... person of the year should go to the best person... not the worst person... blah...

 

TIME is a magazine. Nothing more. It needs to sell. So, it will do what it takes to do that.

In a world where so many politicians have lost the plot, where even religious leaders stray to betray our faith, you'd be hard-pressed to find a winner.

Person of the Year?

There's quite a few candidates on here.

No 'halos' above their heads, no power to wield*, no money to bribe, just good, decent people that offer to lend a stranger a pair of seats, or a buddy space in their heated garage and take the time and trouble to help anyone, regardless of race, colour or creed.

Respect.


*cept the 'S' of course.

 

ttb - people like you will never get it.

 

never get what? isnt person of the year suppose to be someone of great sign., importance, that has impacted the world the most, for better or worst. or is person of year suppose to make us feel better and get all teary eyed?

 

DaveZ,

Do you get it?
