AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD


World,

If you insist on asking the UN for a "no fly zone over Libya" realize who is going be the one enforcing most of the zone, The US. Now you hate the United States for shoving our way into everyone else's business then bitch and moan about that, but then later ask us, by proxy mind you, to help you out with something such as a "no Fly Zone". Make up your mind. We either can stay to ourselves like Ive heard many wish we would, or we can stay involved in everyone's business and help everyone out. World, The choice is yours.

Jeb

Post rage edit: With a exception of our British allies, Usually when the UN needs something enforced it usually falls mostly on to Americas plate

Earthquake


For those who might be living under a rock or who havent seen the news headlines everywhere. Japan had a 7.2 earthquake hit off their north east shore, sparking tsunamis warnings for the entire pacific region. Id sure hate to be living on Hawaii right now.

Earthquake news story

For those affected, run for high ground . For those who aren't , continue with your daily schedule.

EDIT:
I just gathered this off google,
Recent earthquakes near Japan
Time Magnitude Location
6 hours ago 6.6 Near the west coast of Honshu, Japan Map
19 hours ago 7.1 Off the east coast of Honshu, Japan Map
20 hours ago 8.9 Near the east coast of Honshu, Japan Map

Teach me to only read one article.... thats all the earthquakes in the last day involving japan.

Musicians

Musicians as a profession have one of the highest deathrates of any profession out there. But due to the lack of statistic tracking, they never appear on any infographics like the following one for the year of 2009.


In the chart above, its written as Fishing,Logging,Pilots& Flight Engineers have the highest chance of dying on the job.

But looking at history, look back at all the stars from the 50's to the 80's. How many of them are still around today? Not many at all. Just a couple of notable names,that I can remember ,who died from activities linked to their professions.

James Dean - Died from car crash(icon from the 1950's)
Johnny Cash - Attacked by ostrich,(didn't die, just thought it was funny he got attacked by one)
Jimi Hendrix - Died from overdose
Elvis Presley - Died from overdose

In the middle of searching for more names and causes of deaths, I stumbled across this website.


www.av1611.org/rockdead


Average age upon death of Rock Star - 36.9 Years.
Average age upon death of American Citizen - 75.8 Years.

So here ends my rambling for this evening,Just some food for thought before the next celebrity dies.
