I'm a bit skeptish about 9/11 though..it seems weird that smth like that could happen in that way..I agree with asp bout that!


I agree....they were both devastating events...they both cost Americans thousands to millions of dollars, they took lives, and they destroyed our Nation...but just like Pearl Harbor, they brought Americans together...it may have taken that to realize what we were, but we changed for the better after the Pearl Harbor event...however in 9/11 attacks...it brought Americans together for a short while...but right now...people are beginning to seperate and oppose what the US government is doing in Iraq...if they don't want to change...pull our troops out and quit increasing the casualty rate...right now you can say the we're fighting a losing battle...



The problem is not that the people want it, honestly there should be no such person that wants war. Its these pigs in the offices who gain interest from war that are doing there best to inspire war. if Stalin is to be considered a tyran then i think then bush and his happy tree friends should be labeled tyrans.

I seriuosly see no way for democracy to protect us from this, coz no matter how "free" we think we are, our voices dont mean shit. If people really "Cared" about other people dying, bush should have been stomped to death on his first public apearance. I never had anything against americans but sometimes im just pissed off about how negative people are brought up to be there.

- take for example media, american telivision promotes violence and exposes children to it, and they show cruelty in cartoons.. it does affect the way people observe things, such kind of up bringing is the main reason that people dont care about the slaughter that happens in iraq.


yes,americans are in a way conditioned by the media and by what the media show..and bush is in fact a sort of tyran to me.all those wars.it's just unbelievable..

There's a certain mystique when I speak, that you notice that it's sorta unique,
cos you know it's me, my poetry's deep, and I'm still matic the way I flow to this beat, you can't sit still, it's like tryin to smoke crack and go to sleep, I'm strapped

PROOF RIP..
