Also, people love giving these stupid awards to people who are dead like Arthur Ashe or someone ...
Why not Steve Irwin, haha?

flavor, yes, but many people also believe that he CAN AFFORD to do that.

Well good for him. And there are so many more extremely rich people donating to charity.
i think Time Magazine dared to break through the tendency of nominating people that are into charity as there have always been people to do this. And i'd like to say that people may lose interest in the whole Person Of the Year election if it was only regarding this side of progression.
It is all about new ways of doing good, new ways of bringing people together, be it in harmony or heated debate.
And i admire them to take this step and give the individual initiative in the information age a place in history.

what I mean is, it's great that many celebrities are donating money. There are other factors at play too, such as publicity and if they have more money than they could possibly need in a lifetime.
I remember after the Tsunami there were many celebs who donated money to the affected countries. Some decided to make their amount public, while others opted to keep their amount undisclosed to the public.

Shouldn't the Tsunami be Person of the Year?
It brought a whole bunch of people together, much like the internet.
That's kind of half sarcastic.
Would that be denoted as this "/", haha?

haha good point though.
the tsunami caused the Dutch people to gather a historic record amount of donations of a total of 112 million euro's, which is an insane amount considering the Netherlands consists of only 16 million inhabitants.

OH MY G-D!
I completely forgot about this!!!
I was at a bar getting some grub with my friend, and this complete meth head loon barged in and sat next to me.
Goes on and on, about basically nothing. Tells me I'd be a king of Holland ... now 'thee King of Holland', then proceeds to say he got a Dutchess of Holland pregnant.
I asked him what he was doing in Pittsburgh then.
He said she got murdered and didn't want to talk about it, to which my reply of course was, 'Is that the new form of abortion, killing the host?'
...
Strangers were laughing but that kind of sent him into a tizzy.
Talking about how he could buy a rocket launcher for 75 dollars and rockets for 25 to blow my head off if he was in Holland.
...
He kept calling it Holland.
I asked him what part of Holland he was in with such great deals.
His response...
The Netherlands.

(Dec 17 06, 12:30)LOL! What a nonsense though. I would not know about the ability to buy such stuff here. It is amazing how people mythologize our country abroad. crazy.
anyway, i would almost say that was probably JazX.
;)

Hahah no it wasn't JazX. I've hung out with him enough times to know what type of meth head he is.
My buddy there kept saying stuff like, "Yea, Europe is known for their leniant gun laws." And was kind of acerbating the whole situation by being really bitingly saracastic.
To cap it of, the kid ordered a Heininken (sic) and "4 sliders" which are mini-hamburgers ... but also professed to being here for the first time for 8 months since the last time he got kicked out.
He then asked for the bathroom, which I told him was outside and down the block at a parking lot.
He kind of caught on to the fact I was joking, but then told him wher the bathroom was.
I didnt' see him for 2 hours, I figured he OD'ed in the bathroom.
Then kind of thought maybe it's one of those exposés where a visibly drug infested individual tells another person they are going to the bathroom and never comes back ... that it takes the person:
10 minutes
25 minutes
45 imnutes
Never ...To check on them.
I'd be never.
I was kind of hoping he was dead.
Never ended up seeing him again however.
