Pink's plea to Bush

This song touched my heart. I don't know how if it's been posted before? But arh, it is has, it deserves to be posted again. I kind of used to say that I really despised Pink because of her ludicrous behaviour that I found really kind of well, stupid, but this just makes me take a look back. Pink deserves awesome respect for this song. And the emotion she puts into it while she's singing it. Wow.

I wonder if Bush cried himself to sleep because of this song.. it's so very incredible.

Dear Mr. President

Re: Pink's plea to Bush

This is proof why Celebs shouldn't do political songs, she doesn't even have a clue. Bush doesn't hate Gays! Dick Cheneys Daughter is Gay, Besides Bush supports Civil Unions which basically means they can marry anyways and also another thing is its not Bush's decision anymore its the courts. There's bigger issues to worry about such as 747's being flown into buildings Asking the Church to accept Gay marriage is like asking a ref to accept a tennis ball in Basketball, rules have to be re-written and it takes lots of time before any can be implemented.

She's singing about homeless people (which America has always had) sings about minimum wage when her favorite party would have taken fucking tons of taxes out of it and been lower than what it is now. She's clueless, she should donate money if she's is so fucking sorry for homeless people, these are problems we've always had and blaming somebody isn't going to fix them.

Pink doesn't know anything about work either, she's a singer she has no problems because she's got money now, she should just concentrate on keeping her dead beat boy friend out of jail and donate to charity instead of complain. She's blaming Bush because thats easier than fixing current problems. Thats a true Liberal, points the finger on the nearest person for blame instead of acting to make things better.

Also what about the storys that dont get published? About how Bush tripled funding for Aids research and doubled vaccines for people in Africa and in the homeland. Those dont get reported because theres a smear campaign thats more important. These gays bitch about how Bush is Anti gay but yet he has to clean up the mess when they have anal sex and give each other AID's. Dont they see why he doesnt prefer people to follow the gay patern? If Bush really hated Gays he'd decrease funding for AID's research. people stop with the smear crap! Personally I dont care one way or the other about Gay people as long as they dont start hitting on me I'm fine with them. But really people need to grow up and stop blaming each other.

Thanks for posting this Leesa now I know not to give this ho the time of day

This is proof why Josh shouldn't do political comments.

Man, you go too deep! You need to lay off all the Bush loving, cause people might start to assume things, remember he doesn't hate gays, he loves gays, you said it. There is a tolerance level I can stand, but man you really make me laugh! Josh bummed the topic again.

Wow just wow. You must be the only person left in the world who thinks homosexuality is entirely to blame for AIDs.

And grrr it shits me so much to read when someone says they have no problems with people who are gay "as long as they dont start hitting on me". It's as if you're some kind of other specifies if you're homosexual? They're not some aliens sent from another planet to prey on innocent straight people, they're just people like anybody else. If you're attracted to the same sex you don't just suddenly turn into some animal who launches yourself onto any member of that sex. Believe it or not, they act just the same as people of other sexual orientations.

So like you've said you are quite partial to lesbians, you're just homophobic when it comes to guys cos you're afraid they're going to prey on poor innocent you. How about if a few male BITSers revealed their sexual orientation, would you be keeping distance more all that weren't 100% straight? Maybe this is how we can make you go away.

Re: Pink's plea to Bush

What nellysman said was just....wow. That's just lovely old intolerance in action. I do believe he's entitled to the opinion he contends, but man, I sure cannot agree with it. Sure the US has decided to spend around $6 billion in the fight against AIDS. But that's a pathetic drop in the ocean compared to the estimated $315 billion that will have been spent in Iraq by September 2006.

In Wisconsin, state taxpayers will fork out in the region of $5 billion out of the former figure to fund the Iraq adventure. The same amount could have funded over 3 million children's health care. Or over 68 thousand port container inspectors, more than enough to secure the ports of the US, which surely is something that makes sense if any state wants to improves national security. And don't get me started on the shrill voices objecting to the P&O deal by Dubai Ports World.

Re: Pink's plea to Bush

If bush was doing so well, why was he booed upon his first arrival to a white house. There thousands of people there just to protest against his win.

If he was the best president, now you guys all have to watch over your shoulder for the next plane coming your way, because of his overseas intervention. Now we do too, Democracy does NOT work everywhere, and trying to impose it on others..hmm.

And if he was doing so well, why would all these artists have something to say? I rarely hear about a patriotic song, Greenday devoted an entire Album to it. They're not jsut doing that for nothing. And so with the Aids thing, do you think all the people in Africa are all gay men that are dying by the millions? Think again before you say something. I'm sorry, but you sounded to me what Americans are stereotyped to be, not very knowledgeable about other countries, just knowing about your own...

You are entitled to your own opinion, of course. But we're allowed to disagree, and lately you have been giving more reasons for people to disagree. I bet you got all those stats off of CNN, do you know they hand feed you guys info that they deem important? That's what mass media does, American or not. You don't get the whole picture.

Re: Pink's plea to Bush

you are very right shmannon, most Americans, esp. Bush, have a very singular ethnocentric view of the world.

nice posts you guys

btw- I think ignorance is just as dangerous of an epidemic as AIDS
