Michael Jackson - King of Pop.... May he rest in peace
I would just like to remind all those who criticize Michael Jackson and his life that he was one of the first artists to make significant contributions to social causes as well as a plentitude of financial contributions to various charities and he did this 20 years ago before it became trendy or a public relations requirement. He did it out of the unending generosity of his heart. I respectfully wish that he truly rests in peace away from the clutches of the evil media.
Everyone…Just remember one thing…We all have skeletons in the closet and can keep them secretive, Michael, because of his fame and fortune could not keep his life a secret from the world…This is sad that anyone should have to be tortured in life and now even after death…People…Say what you will, but Michael was a great performer and a decent, giving, generous man…I grew up to his music and really got to experience the music when i was about 12 yrs old, trying to dance like him and finally learning some of his moves, just like millions of his fans did…May the Lord bless him and keep him…May the Lord be with his family and his children in this their greatest time of need…All these people trash talking should be ashamed of their selves because most people were taught at a very young age ” If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don’t say anything at all ” May you finally rest in peace Michael…Your legacy will live on forever and ever…
When ever some talks or says Micheal Jackson, the first thing that would spring to mind was his personal life, including his often changing appearances and eccentric behavior, generated significant controversy which damaged his public image.
Yet Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. Which I guess was not much spoken off....
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records — including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" — 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.[4] At the time of his death, he was preparing for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held in London beginning July 13, 2009.... We will miss him and regardless of what He is will always be the KING OF POP.....
would argue that his passing may be one of the most widespread moments of global mourning ever. We are all reminded of Princess Diana as well as JFK and Elvis. Digital media really put Michael in a special place as generations across nearly all countries gained access to The King of Pop. There is this “shared-collective” of his music as well as the celebrity of his ever-growing absurdities. Michael Jackson was a musician. He was an entertainer. But he seemed to have done much more than just entertain us. He always wanted to heal the world, but in some ways, Michael Jackson himself has proven that he and his music were a universal currency that transcended the very boundaries of space that divide us on this planet. Despite all the allegations against him over the years, he spoke a messge of love and peace.
Have a media-inundated weekeend paying tribute to Michael Jackson, it’s still sorta hard to believe that he’s actually dead… We all knew Michael threw his music and his many interviews over the years. Part of me almost expected some sort of bizarre goodbye speech that didn’t make any sense, just to give us a sense of closure. This was all too sudden though....
Our lives are full of choices,every moment of our life is a choice we make.Our health and how healthy we live is our choice.
As per Godwin's blog,its our individual choice to stay healthy no matter what the experts say.We have to be responsible to ourselves and our partners.Abstainance is the key,and where we fall short we have to keep to the last option-the Condom.
When Pope Benedict XVI visited Africa a few months ago, he unequivocally announced his abhorrence for contraceptives. This was scarcely-surprising considering the late affable John Paul II’s, insistence on abstinence as a preferred method in the fight against HIV/AIDS. But the backlash that followed was hardly predictable as more than a few talking heads wasted no words in denouncing the Pontiff’s utterances. To begin with, many are willing to forget that one of the most widely accepted anti-HIV campaign messages is the ABC strategy. It is a fact that this strategy has the blessings of many governments, experts, and the United Nations. As we can see, condoms are actually the third, NOT first, in the ‘ABC’ pecking order. To be sure, the ABC strategy advocates that one should Abstain first, remain Faithful to their partners, and, lastly, use Condoms. Having said that, I’m not unaware of emerging debates within the corridors of reproductive health about the efficacy/ineffectiveness of this strategy, but, to date, no one has proposed a better modus operandi. Janet Fleischman (who consulted for UNAIDS) went further to suggest a DEF strategy with, D standing for "disclosure, "E" lack of access to education, and F for female-controlled prevention methods. While Fleischman and the UN should be applauded for continuous efforts in HIV prevention, this addition/alternative, ‘DEF’ does not completely abolish abstinence as the primary means of prevention. Shouldn’t our efforts be focused on the first option—Abstinence—since it has been recognized by all as the surest or most potent way of prevention HIV/AIDS? Let me give some support to this position. If the proposition is that the Vatican’s doctrine increases infection, then one would expect to see higher rates in highly populated Catholic areas. Well, the statistics indicate that the opposite is quite true. Consider this: Of the top ten nations where AIDS is prevalent in Africa, only Lesotho can be considered a largely Catholic populated nation. Equatorial Guinea which has one the largest Catholic population in Africa (93.52%) belongs to the low infection rate categories (3.4%). Available statistics indicate that Angola, another predominantly Catholic nation, has an infection rate of 2.1%--one of the lowest on the continent. The same goes for other Catholic Countries such as Burundi. Even in Ghana where Catholics make up 33% of some regional populations, the infection rate stands at a mere 3.1%. However, countries with low Catholic populations such as Botswana and Swaziland have some of the highest infection rates, i.e. 23.9% and 26.1% respectively (see CIA World Fact book). If we’re going to go berserk and call the Pope names because he wouldn’t condone our indulgences, we should at least be honest enough to tell people the hard facts. Clearly, the prevailing idea that Catholicism is the reason why AIDS cases continue to rise falls flat and should be treated as nothing, but an anti-Catholic propaganda. According to a report in the Washington Post, certain states in the US have shown that abstinence messages were “more likely to persuade black junior high school students to put off initiating sex…” We are also aware of the efficaciousness of abstinence messages in reducing the HIV rates in countries like Uganda. So the issue of condemning fidelity as unrealistic is really moot. After all, let’s imagine—it’s not going to happen, though—just for a second that the Vatican renounces its stance on condoms (say) tomorrow. Does that mean we’re going to see an automatic reduction in AIDS figures? There will be some people out there who will want to go it ‘raw’ no matter what. As they like to say “Why eat Banana with the peals on”. Are we going to blame this too on the Papacy? I believe that sex is one of the most private, if not enticing of all human feelings; so I refuse to be judgmental. But to be honest, the real reason behind this whole circus is because we ignore one of the most basic rules for any HIV prevention campaign: self control. This is a disservice to the millennial generation. With that said, the Holy See should be congratulated for at least taking an emphatic stand on such a controversial issue. The rage against Benedict XVI must have faded by now, so let’s all get our breath back and agree that since sex is a precious thing it should be enjoyed in the best way, under the best circumstances, and with the best consequences.
I think that the commonwealth should provide more support and research opportunities into renewable energy sources, and in protecting the environment....
