Political Opinions / Good point....
« on: July 16, 2002, 02:49:57 AM »
When people start blaming guys that wear clown make-up (Insane Clown Posse) or a guy that claims to be the AntiChrist (Marilyn Manson) for what some messed up kids did, you know the world is fucked up. I mean, these people may have songs where they are killing someone but its not like they are actually going out and doing it (or telling little kids to do it for that matter)!! I mean, if someone actually listens to what these people are saying, there is something majorly wrong with them. As for TV, movies, and video games (even CD's), thats why we have a rating system, come on, say it with me. It's this great thing someone thought up in which if parents actually pay attention to what their kids are doing, they can stop them from being susceptible to violence when they don't know yet what is real and what is fake.

Political Opinions / Censorship online
« on: July 16, 2002, 02:31:51 AM »
How do you guys feel about censorship online? Personally, I think its the dumbest thing ever. I mean, when AOL bans poems that have one bad word in it, you know the line has been crossed. I can understand if they want to make it harder for little Johnny to go to porn sites or something but I mean poetry, come on, just give it a rest. Have they ever heard of a thing called Freedom of Speech?! If parents don't want their kids reading or looking at that sort of thing, why don't they just monitor what their kids do more closely? Seriously though, isn't there something a little more concerning that our government can be "attending to"? :x

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Question
« on: July 16, 2002, 02:06:08 AM »
Ok, hopefully someone can help me out. I am running Linux on my computer and in my browser (Opera) I can't seem to get JavaScript to work even though its enabled and everything. Does anyone know what my problem is and how I can fix it?


(There, I'm talking about computers, happy now!?!) :P

I totally agree with you. I mean, I can understand it to a point, but when you have a man that is not black (at least, not any more), like Michael Jackson, getting support from Rev. Alan Sharpton, Johnnie Cochran, etc. and telling the world that a man is racist and is conspiring against the entire African-American race, just because he didn't get an acceptable amount of advertisment for his CD or whatever, is just unbelievable. I'm not saying that all accusations of racism are false, I'm just saying that some people are taking it a little bit too far.
