Half the Songs on the Average Teen's iPod Are Illegal {Switched.com}
Jul 26th 2008 5:02AM Only half? Besides, I agree with andyg8180: most artists today are one hit wonders. Even if they aren't, many have the bad habit of putting only one or two good songs on a CD amidst 14 or so crap songs and then they expect you to pay $14+ for it. It's easier and cheaper to download them illegally. The problem with subscription sites is that some months you might only download a few songs but you're paying the price of a full CD to do so. Other months, you could download Led Zeppelin's entire discography for the same price.
Kanye West Surprises Vets on MTV Choose or Lose Special {The Boombox}
Jul 25th 2008 2:54PM Who cares why he's doing it? I mean sure, it'll make him out to be an asshole if he's doing it for the wrong reasons, but who cares? The fact is he's helping these people. I mean, the video said that one soldier was about to lose both his job and home. What is this country coming to when we start taking the homes of people who are serving in Iraq? I don't support this war at all, I believe it's a waste of human life and of our valuable resources. However, that doesn't mean that I don't have respect for the people over there putting their lives on the line. It's something I don't think I'd be able to do (self-preservation is a pretty strong motivator). So don't knock Kanye for doing this, even if it is for a selfish reason.
Student's Snow-Day Question Causes Internet Brouhaha {Switched.com}
Jul 25th 2008 4:04AM I believe it's funny that most of the comments that I've read talk about how 'this generation of kids' don't show enough respect to their elders and other such nonsense. I don't know if you realize it or not, but odds are your parents generation thought the same of your generation. The difference is that your parents didn't have the internet to complain about it. Besides, assuming any large group of people all act the same is a ridiculous notion and, at least in my opinion, is a sign of ignorance. It's stereotyping and it needs to stop. I know that many of you would be offended if you read a comment about how all members of a particular race act a certain way, so you shouldn't go posting something about how all members of a particular generation act a certain way either. It's disrespectful, which is exactly what you're complaining about in the first place. I'll admit that many members of my generation tend to be rude and disrespectful, but I know many adults who are the same way.
