I frankly don?t give a fig about your sensibilities , if it wakes you up to a subject that for so many could well become a death sentence, how do you put ?it? terrible? ?

Ignorant American springs to mind??Utada is an international celebrity?. OK no Saint Bono or Sir Bob Geldof ?and if you feel I am talking down to you somebody has too if that wakes you up to the real issues that affect lives?.but of course you prefer to stay enclosed in an ignorant bubble of selfishness about world issues?

Issues that I am sure Utada take allot more seriously ?your sexuality and the fact you can parade that sexuality with pride is all you care about and because this happens to be a site devoted to Utada the Pop Star does not negate the blunt human rights atrocities being committed as we speak from getting a forum ?

No matter what thread that happens to be in ? Geez? the only time world issues hit home is when planes start hitting towers ?

Not to jump on the bandwagon, but Pips, you've really missed the mark here. By what stretch of logic do you presume that simply because we appreciate Utada's support for gays that we are ignorant to issues outside of American borders? For your information, I make it a point as a human being to be as aware of the conflicts plaguing the world as I can be; you bring up Uganda like it's some big secret, and then you have the gull to call people ignorant because you ASSUME they know nothing about it? Talk about circular logic. I could probably make you aware of some major and minor gay happenings around the world that you knew nothing about and then call you ignorant for failing to learn about them on your own- but that's not the point. The point is, we're here to talk about Utada, not Uganda. As ItsDaveyJ pointed out, you're more than welcome to create a separate thread surrounding that issue and others like it. In the meantime, kindly knock yourself down a peg and address us with the basic respect you yourself would like to be treated with. I understand that you have something important to say, but there's no need to be abrasive about it.
