    Disagree. Bush shouldn't have been elected to Person of the Year. Although he has done a great job of been re-elected. He still has the war in Iraq follow him. I don't know excactly how it should be then, maybe Colin Powell or some sort of sportsman that did a great job. Or maybe a East-European politian like Saakasvili

    No, I don't really agree.

    Plus I heard he's trying to kill all the wild horses. How nasty can you get?

    Eh. I don't hate Bush or anything, but I think there're better people they could've picked.

    While I'm not exactly anti-Bush, naming him Person of the Year seems pretty absurd to me. Person of the Year shouldn't be based on pure achievement, but integrity and positive actions. I'm sure that plenty of people in the public eye have had a more positive effect on the world than President Bush over the past year, and it seems unfair that they should not be acknowledged over a man who accomplished a lot, but for all the wrong reasons.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    Making Charles Manson Person of the Year would be a better example for the kids than this absurdity.

    I have the same opinion.

    Huh. Not really. :rolleyes2


    I'm not anti-Bush by any means, but I don't necessarily agree with this award, for the same reasons Czech. gave. And what's the deal with the wild horses? I don't think I've heard anything about that.

    They should have picked Ken Jennings.

    Oh, and this is not a thread to call Bush names, so quit it.

    Very fitting.I heard even Stalin and Hitler were the persons of the year of that stupid newspaper.

    That wasn't meant to be taken literally. I was just trying to state I find it kind of absurd that a mass murderer would become Person of the Year.

    [q="Czech. Republic"]Person of the Year shouldn't be based on pure achievement, but integrity and positive actions.

    The thing is...person of the year is given to the person who influenced the news/world the most in that given year. That's why hitler and stalin both won it. That's why Osama bin Laden almost won it in 2001.
    Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!
