Tiger woods and this rubbish all over the news, and what it says about people

You know what?!?!? The world is full of all kinds of stuff.

Am I into "celebrity gossip"? NO!

But - I sure don't need some poster shoving "War and People are Dying" in my face - - - every time something appears or leans towards frivolous.

I can enjoy life. I can question life. I can question people's motives. Etc Etc Etc.

Yes people are dying - - - but people are living too.

That cracks me up.

I bet they are so proud of having a whore for a granddaughter now are they?

I guess this is my closest ever claim to fame, lol. (I don't get out much)

Great!!!!!!

Well - what I have to say to any of these girls is: you'd have to live in a cave in the middle of nowhere not to know Tiger is a married man.

Well its sad. They think Tiger Woods sex romps are a disgrace, yet its a real disgrace that they can't man up and face the ever present problems of the world head on..

If the general population would prefer to go about their lives as self-important drones, prefer to be distracted from important issues by mass media coverage of sex affairs of celebrities and who said what and brad pitt and Angelina are on the rocks.... It gets under my skin so bad.

It is no ones business. There is a whole planet out their beyond your TV and media magazines and gossip... A whole universe in fact.

I know I shouldn't be angry at the people themselves, its TPTB that have created this and brainwashed the people.. So it is them I am really angry at.

I just wish people would wake up.

I completely agree...and Don Henley says it best...

His wife is from a well off family, with political interests in Europe. She wasn't hurting.

Interesting though - how your first thought is to defend a guy screwing around on his wife while assuming that she's nothing but a bought whore too.

Very very intersting.

Social lessons are worth some air time

Buy people, don't expect them to stay bought just because you find it inconvenient they don't.

You can't buy love. However, you can purchase a series of facsimilies.

Don't undermine yourself. If you have goals which are incompatible with each other, it behooves you to choose one of them.

What's that saying...."Keep Your Eye On The Ball."

One day your children will get to see that you adulterated their mother - in front of a Global audience. Don't expect them to be impressed.

See - moral messages are worth a few moments. How do you boys expect to learn if you never see that even the boys with all the toys still don't get a free pass on being a moral, familial, and social disappointment.

It isn't just some woman named Latisha who is going to go ballistic on your butt for having put her in the path of dying from an STD, destroying her fertility, potentially killing her children's mother, so that you can have fun.

Even a nice girl from a nice family with all the advantages is going to roast you for not just failing as a man and a father and husband, but also doing things that could kill her.

Good Lesson.

Wake up, stop glamorizing the people who are useless eaters that take all the pie and leave the rest of us with nothing.

. . . and he does it better then anyone else.

And he almost single-handedly made it into a profitable sport. And raised winnings for every other golfer.

There is major trickle down and a lot of people employed because of athletes and other big names.

As far as - - your slice of pie - - go make your own by your own accomplishments.

Well Annee, all I'm saying is if people want a distraction FROM the global issues that are a real problem, why can't people distract themselves with something worth while?

Go and read a book and expand your personal knowledge, read a novel, go outside and look at the stars.

I'm not saying you don't do any of that because I don't know you from a bar of soap, but I'm talking about the people out there that do nothing else but talk about celebrity gossip and mainstream crap.

Thats ALL they do. They wouldn't know the first thing about whats really happening out there beyong their TV screens and believe me I know my fair share of people like this.

Well, it is news if someone who has pretended to be squeaky clean and to put his family first, even before his golf, turns out to have the morals of a tramp and is a total liar and a disgusting human being. God only knows what any woman sees in the chinless wonder, he still looks like a little boy.

And to smoke jaguar….it might be deemed being a flawed and realistic human being to have had an affair with one woman, maybe as a result of the stress of his ‘job’ as it must be sooo hard to be doing something you love every day eh? However, twelve affairs and twelve instances of being unfaithful and a childish liar is not just being human, that is having something wrong with him, apart from having the maturity and respect of a ten year old. Sad that immoral kids end up having kids.

And there is hardly any conspiracy or surprise about reporting this. Anyone famous who drove two yards out of their driveway and hit a hydrant and then drove straight into a damn tree and seemed out of it on drugs, and ambulance and police had to be called, would be news too.

Tiger Woods made millions of the the back off the media. He was also portrayed as the all American good guy. Which he basically lied about. That's why it gets all the attention. All the other news is still there for everyone, it certainly hasn't been hidden, just overridden by the fact that Tiger couldn't keep it in his pants.

He is one of the most famous people in the world. I would be surprised in this celeb hungry world if it didn't receive this much newstime.

Because everyone needs a little "fluff".

And it isn't my place to dictate to them what works as "fluff" for them.

My hubby loves 80's music. I hate it.

I love talk radio - because I crave information. All and any kind.

A little "fluff" -- doesn't take the reality out of anyone's life.

No matter what, its still sad and pathetic that this is what occupies mainstream news.

Its no one's business. Tiger Woods doesn't gossip about what you or I do in our personal lives, so why should anyone gossip about him?

First of all Tiger is a man.

Second of all When you get married. You do not yet know if you can be faithful. You will only get married ones in your life. ( You believe this to be trough at the time. ).

Third of all Tiger is upper class ( elite ). He should give a good example.
By the way. All the drama, murder and pain in the world, can be traced back, to those in power. ( the elite ).

Fourth of all Mony will attract women like honey attracts bees !!

What would you do with a sh*tload of cash, dozens of beauthiful women and al that testosteron what just is being un-handled. Hitting a marble lijke ball in a small hole just isn't gonna do it for you.

There are probably plenty of guys who would prefer that you put that word man in quotes. "Man."

He's MALE. Over grown boy with money. But "man" is a bit of stretch.

Would your answer be the same if he was a politician?

Tiger is a public figure - - a very public figure who stood for something.

The media just delivers what the majority of the people want.

crap people talk about other people

good people talk about things

exceptional people talk about ideas

That's why I can't stand more than 3 minutes with some people. I really can't.

PS.: We humans can be funny sometimes.

I remember Clinton and Monica "crisis" was considered worse than all the stuff Bush did...

Oh boy.

Yes it would be. I understand most politicians are liars anyway, so I wouldn't care.

In fact just recently an Australian politician was accused by a woman of having a sexual affair on his office desk. It flooded the Australian news for a few days...

Did I care? No. He's probably a liar like the rest of them anyway so what difference does it make?

And besides, what Tiger stood for was his golf. That, and that alone.

He is still an exceptionally talented golfer and nothing else should matter..

Well, I know this is crude but someones got to say it, seems Mr Woods has a fetish!!! he is obsessed with "holes" LOL

Please forgive me for that, I promise I will not do it again
