I dislike royals. some will STILL do fool things like marry other royals instead of marrying for love
to my knowledge
they just seem so useless.

Bush has antagonized other countries, bringing out the worse attitudes about America.
He clearly lied about the Iraq incedents, then turns around and claims that he wasn't lying.
He condones the distruction of the environment, gives tax cuts to his buddies.
He's nothing but a silver spoon hanging out of his mouth ex-pampered frat boy who has never done a lick of work for himself and never, ever had to pull himself up by the bootstraps.
I'd vote for a stick insect before I'd vote for Bush.

It depends on the individual. Even religious kids can be tempted if the opportunity presents itself. Abstinence and many religions teach kids to be ashamed of sex, even frightened of it.
Why not tell kids there's nothing wrong with masturbation? it's safe and disease free at least.
Some kids will wait until they get married, others will say they will but if their parents are not home... disaster could strike..
The best solution is to be open about sex without being filthy about it.

idiotic. Bush should NOT write an amendment banning gay marriagge. How is gay marriage a big deal?
Who cares? If you do not like gay people, just DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT THEY EXIST!

Bush is a stupid sock puppet.
i will vote for almost anyone who is not him.

Stupid stuff

Dude... You are a moron. Just because you know a HANDFUL of people into something like that doesn't mean the whole country is. You sit here making BROAD SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS and sounding like a right fool.
What do you really know about Japan or India or Africa if you can't take your head out of your own ass long enough to pay attention to what's going around you.,
So stop with the stereotypes already!

Here's the thing.
Stop trying to attribute all the problems of the world to ONE group of people.
It's not just Muslims... Druids practiced human sacrafices. As did the Mayans or Aztecs.
In some countries it's perfectly ok to infibrulate a young girl, in others a girl can be KILLED if she looks at a man outside of her family, let alone talks to him.
It is not just Muslims, you'll find a lot of stuff in the bible that is disturbing.
Lot trying to give his virgin daughters to a mob.
A young woman raped and killed and her husband having to be paid like she was a cow or something...
And what can you do about things like this? Refine it away until you see the one thing that REALLY matters and counts in religion, any religion.
Compassion and true morals!

Dude, if you look carefully enough you could find stuff in the bible that's WORSE!

Deuteronomy 7:1-2: "... the seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them."

Joshua 6:21: "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

Joshua 10:40-41: "So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon."
Numbers 31:1-18: "...And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded moses, and they slew all the [adult] males. And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones...And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses...And Moses was angry with the officers of the host And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Ba'laam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the female children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

It's not just one group of people, one religion, one society that does damage, it's some of the whole... remember that...

Are white supremist asswipes an accurate representative of Christanity or is someone like Sister Helen Prejean?
Quit trying to take the easy way out and condemn a whole group of people before you know the facts.
You don't want people do to the same to you and judge america on past actions.

Un-Employment maybe high, but 1/2 of that is not Bush's Fault. Its because some select few of Americans has become so damn lazy, that they will feed off the rewards of others. You cant really force them to work without Violating one of their rights, so technically thats not Bush's fault

People are NOT unemployed because they are lazy...
If anything, Bush's trickle down policies are WORSE on the economy in the long run and increase that gap between the rich and poor.
Prehaps lower income people are more likely to spend money than their high income counterparts....

Good point, the music we listen to is only a display of the evolutional progress we've made so far. The good musicians are the teachers of our age.

I want to be in a band so bad, so I can express myself in a more accepted way! DAMN MY WEAK VOICE!

Dude, having a weak voice sure doesn't stop some of these other people.
Just wail and sing with a lot of feeling.
Unless you're tone deaf.

It's called "Satire"

Cool. I'm not the only one who thinks that. I used to dislike Family Guy, but now I think it's great.
The laste few seaons have just been so... Illogical and dippy.

I think a lot of these modern rock bands are just...so... unnessasarily angry and angsty.
The lyrics are uninteresting in songs by Korn and Slipnot and bands like that. It's all, everything's falling away, my life sucks, I'm laying in a hole covered in dirt screaming.
Bleck.
Ooo. Greg Graffin makes some great points in this article. I dislike dogmatic types screaming on people when they step out of line for just a second.

Got to find a clearer way to explain this...
Say, after about several centuries, finally blacks are emancipated.
Things have not really changed for them.
For one thing they cannot vote, many have become sharecroppers, which is no different than being a slave.
And yet whites will complain about THEIR rights being taken away just because slavery has been banned and they will make every attempt to keep things from being equal for decades later.
Although, it is true that poor whites lived no better than poor blacks. Both were suffering from starvation.
Both were oppressed by the rich.
Fast forward to the women's movement, women spent ages just trying to get the right to vote.
Then ages later you end up with men complaining that THEY are oppressed.
I just don't get it.
What does being oppressed really mean?

Saw this cool episode of the Sopranos where the Italians were complaining about Native Americans complaining about Columbus. Tony got mad at one of his crew members saying that it wasn't being Italian that got him this far, it was hard work.
That was interesting...

Noam Chomsky has interesting views on linquistics and the effects of having most of the networks owned by corporations. Such as how it effects the news...
An interesting question is, How does American music, pop music, effect OTHER cultures. Like countries where people's traditional music has been drowned out by the musical equivalent of mcDonald's hamburgers.
Music for young people can be an outlet for rage, the way aggressive rock and rock (like aggressive Dir en grey) can sooth a person.
Or at least that's how it is with me.

Question-Why is the unemployment rate so low?
Is it because of jobs being shipped out overseas? Bush's trickle down policies NOT being effective...?
And also, if there is an increase of jobs what sort of jobs are increasing? Good paying jobs or just supermarket, fast food service jobs?

It's hard to know what the heck I'm saying.
I just get tired of all these young cubs that have everything, or some redneck guy complaining about the right to bear arms being taken from him when there are people with REAL problems, like some girl in Africa who has to worry about getting mutilated in the worse way by her own tribe and can't get married without this happening.
But she can't enjoy sex after this happens either.
There are so many real problems in the world. Why do people complain everytime some sort of progress is being made towards doing something for people who REALLY have problems?
But it's so hard to construct that thought without sounding so... offensive...

Dude, no one is trying to oppress you, though I must say that it is somewhat silly to blame porn exclusively for these kind of acts.
This sort of thing happened ages ago before the net even existed.
Still, one has to wonder though. What viewing women like that can do to the wrong person over time.
Do they know if the criminal watched this sort of thing?
I think it depends on a lot of factors.
There are guys who can play violent games for hours and never go around driving in their cars shooting people every minute.
There are guys that look at this sort of porn and never do these kinds of acts.
Then you have the unstable people who have NO BUSINESS at all doing anything, who cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
It's about balance.
And still, the problem is that in some people, watching thsi sort of stuff makes them less and less sensitve.
It gets worse every year.

Will all of these groups of people PLEASE stop whining about oppression unless you really have been oppressed.
Has, for example, your group of people been tortured recently? Murdered in large groups? Denied some sort of freedom?
And even those groups that have had all of these things happened to them will, about 60 years down the road still complain and still try to hold any member of their group that doesn't agree down or accuse them of being a sell out.
Even more annoying, listening to all these people who have had it well over the years complain.
Like so-called white guys complaining that NOW they are being oppressed.
Now I'm not saying that in the past people of European decent haven't tasted the whip. There's Ireland and all of the troubles it had with England, Scotland, the rich vs the poor, Catholics vs. Protestants, Protestants vs. Catholics.
The point is, for the most part all of this is over and there are larger problems.
You want to know why it's considered more wrong to use slurs against "blacks" than against "whites?" It's history ,it's the historical weight of it.
Same with men and women. If a woman gets groped while on stage or has a boss that says nasty things to her, it's considered harrassment, if the same happens to a man, a man gets groped by a woman and doesn't like it, it's considered not as big a deal or people will glare at the man and say, how could you NOT like that?
Equality in the world would be nice, but how can we achieve it when one group of people complains about prejudice and the other just says, You just wan't special rights.
It's ridiculous.

Bush is a sock puppet. He's like these drunk, stupid frat boys I went to school with who never got good grades, acted like idiots and drove around in SUVs because they had their parents to provide for them every time they messed up.
And yet people praise him like he's the next Messiah.
Church and state should NOT mix. Otherwise you have all these people ranting and raving about prophecy and using that as an excuse to raid middle Eastern nations.
there are times in which a woman needs an abortion. Ban that, and women will still be able to get one, but not a safe one.

Interesting points. I agree with them... But the problem withpeople is that they seem to resist facts being sunk into their heads.
Such as the US at one time supported Saddam and gave him weapons...
That sort of think... -_-

Blacks had also slaves. Just like evry race. Only whites are blamed for having slaves. Ppl are just too ignorant to know that. And blacks indeed had a civilisation. Only they stopped devolping, because they were too primitive. If the whites never had come to Africa they would still live in huts. And besides, there was never complaint about animals working for humans, so why complain about blacks working for humans. There isn't much difference between an animal and a niger.

You are a freaking idiot...
Africans made excellent art, gold, jewelry, things like that and had elaborate languages such as a language of drumming.
The only thing that held down Africans as well as a lot of other cultures was freaking imperialism. Hainvg their resourced drained away for centuries, being divided by civil wars and the like. NOT BEING PRIMATIVE!
Go study history or something...

It's stupid and immature to call people slurs in the first place. Like it or not there are different people out there. They have different skin colours, different cultures and languages. Deal with it!
Don't run around assuming that every immagrate is on welfare or whatever, how many people come to this or some other country to seek a better life only to work in the sort of jobs that people who were born there wouldn't work on? Like people stuck working in factories or picking vegetables out inthe hot sun for hours earning barely enough money to pay the rent.
How many CENTURIES have countries like the USA and England built up their economies on the blood and sweat of other people, not just blacks or browns but the lower class.
Instead of running around complaining about immigrants and blacks get out there, get a job and do something constructive and stop blaming problems on other people! What good does that do?
These people are going through the same sort of struggles and frustration you're going through, some even more. Go pick up a book or something. Educate yourself about others!
As for those guys groping your girlfriend, that is wrong, but stop acting like it's just minorities that do things like that! Quit trying to pin everything bad on minorities the way a lot of people these days try to blame all the bad stuff in the world on so-called white people.
It's not one group of people, it's all humans and the only way to fight that is to be different!

tell me what's wrong with it

I cannot keep up with the songage, man...

Here's one I've been working on... It's.... weird...

It's called ...Too Strange to Even Have A Name

It's not a matter of force, it's variations. We are human. We are all different. Some men are effeminant without being gay, Some women are "butch" and don't like women.
That's the way things are. Either accept it, or gripe about it constantly.
It doesn't change a thing.
A good percent of the population is gay, they will march down the street in parades or ate "normal". It's up to people to be open enough to accept that and complain about the things that are REALLY annoying.
