  1. While not a hardcore fan, I am of the age where I grew up listening to NWA, Public Enemy and Ice T and I just don't get what people see/hear in Eminem.

    A extremely prodigious ability in the field of rhyming. As in seriously high grade talent. Like literally the art of MCing.

    I'll take your word for it (like you should take mine when I say 70's Sabbath is THE SHIT) but give me ICP any day.

    Because I like you, I'm going to pretend I didn't read this post. :lol:

  2. It's not hard to see how you all succumb so easily to dictatorships, monarchies and fascism.

    Ooh, get em :lol:

    Really, though. So much of this bullshit is about, "You know, the authorities really need to step in and handle it." Well, fuck that. It might be part of your culture to call the cops or your local assemblyman, to cry bully to the principal every time someone is mean, to trust that some unaccountable panel of "experts" is on the case - but much of the US, not all, instinctively rejects that shit. If there's an issue, you know who's supposed to handle it? I'm supposed to handle it. Our country was birthed from a fundamental and justified antipathy toward concentrated power and authority. Sorry if you guys don't like it.

    I'll make a deal, though, because I'm a fair guy. Let's have the cops get rid of all of their guns and a let's dismantle the standing military and the military industrial complex. Then I'll have an open discussion about gun control.

    Well, you have already trusted your authorities and accepted them to....

    Nope. Don't assume what I trust. By the way, where did bazookas, land mines and weaponized anthrax come from anyway? Some crazy second amendment defender created them? Nope. Pretty sure governments did that. So trustworthy.

    Agree with every word, particularly the last paragraph. I dont pretend to understand the American mentality of experience but I think I can get my head around principles and ideas and i truly believe what the American constitution proposes, ideologically speaking, is wholly honourable. I might have a problem with the way some of it was executed historically but quite frankly that goes for every country.

    Obviously it's not a perfect document, neither in itself nor in its historical context. Almost no one believes it is. Talking about people who treat the Constitution like the Bible is nothing more than a red herring. However, in the Declaration and the Constitution there exists a spirit of liberty and a distrust of large, unchecked institutions, and those sentiments I will hold almost religiously. Tell me if you hold something better. Reduce pain, increase, uh, non-pain? :lol: Fuck off.

  5. Watch how it's done. NuGNR isn't Guns N Roses.

    See how easy. :lol:

    what am I suppose to see exactly? You just proved my point. After stating that, it's still Guns N Roses. Legally, factually, objectively. What you stated is your subjective opinion. You dont like them, fine... but it hasn't changed anything.

    The only fact is that Axl's solo project has the legal name of Guns N Roses. Sure, that's a fact. That's all it is, though, a legal technicality, and no one cares.

    so you agree legally and factually it's guns n roses. that's objective. whether you care that it is called guns n roses or not is your opinion and is subjective. i'm not saying you should or should not care, but you can't change something that's a fact.

    Yes, the name on the legal documents says Guns N Roses. Well done. Victory for Axl.

  7. It's not a debate. It's in the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, if that means anything anymore.

    So was prohibition. As Jeffries points out, it's an amendment, susceptible to change.

    Yeah, and I assume you know what it takes to change an amendment. Not a chance in hell. Not to mention it's in the Bill of Rights, which means it has a history and a respect to it that prohibition did not.

    And why go to Iran to show that Obama wants weapons in people's hands? The US is the largest international arms dealer by leaps and bounds.
