everybody knows the sad story about princess diana of wales death in the 90's. all those who mourned her were mourning as great and influential women. everyone knew that diana was a great women but the thing that they did not know was her relationship with the queen of england, her mother in law. the relationship between the two was perhaps one filled with jealousy. in the 2006 film "the queen" the relationship is well layed out. the moviw which i viewed recently had a complicated plot as you will see in the summary.
diana was married to prince charles and then later divorced. the queen talks about the fact that the royal family did not want to honor diana because she was not a royal any more. my question for you is do you think the royal family needed to honor her or do you think that only those who are royals at the time of their death should be honored?
below is a link to the movie page to assist with the scenario.

When American Idol first came out I liked it but now that I have gotten older I have realized its all criticism. On American Idol the judges give feedback which is what they are supposed to do however I have never seen the judges attempt to help them by telling the contestants what could make them better. I believe the sole purpose for the lack of advice is entertainment. I think that being mean to contestants is used for ratings and that the criticism is a little too mean. there is a lot more to singing than whether you sound good or not which American Idol does not promote. I think that entertainment at the cost of others feelings is a cruel way to go about getting entertainment. What is worse is no one watches anything except American Idol these days so therefore everyone is seeing these awful moments for the contestants.

what is bad is that people push aside important things like politics to watch others get ridiculed. This article is talking about this.
