I hate it when celebrities voice their opinion on politics...blah...

Why? Because you don\'t agree with the opinion?
It was a good video. :)

I just mean in general...I like Eminem. But A Perfect Circle just recently made an anti-Bush video. I\'m not biased with either candidate, but this stuff just kind of bugs. I guess it\'s because they use their popularity as a means to change people\'s opinions. Just my opinion..:)
EDIT: ^^ I just said opinion way too many times :D Sorry...
-
It\'s pretty damn good. Too bad it bashes our presid...Just kidding.
I like the cartoonish way to it and how all them people put on those black hoodies. I thought they were gonna tear shit up but they were going to vote. Pretty strong message.
-
Yeah it should influence a lot of 4th graders... or those with the mentality of one. ^^^ :rolleyes:
-
^^^^^
But 4th graders are a majority of our voters!!

No blood for oil, dawg.
Oooh ooh and how\'s this: JUST VOTE OR DIE, no need to learn about the issues (http://www.nbc4.com/politics/2653202/detail.html). Just watch this hepcat video on MTV.

Wow...thanks for that link...I thought Bush was against abortion completely. Instead...he says it\'s ok in cases of rape, incest, or if the woman\'s life is in danger. Now I believe Kerry is a complete douche-bad. He fully supports abortions and partial-birth abortions. Have you ever freaking watched a partial-birth abortion?? It\'s the most horrifying thing I\'ve ever seen...
Hmmm...
Back on the topic...yes...the animation is pretty cool...

Kerry agrees with Clinton\'s statements on abortion that they should be "legal and rare."
Abortion rates were decreasing when Bush took office. The nation\'s abortion rates were at a 24 year low, after a 17% decline during the Clinton years. Under Bush, that trend reversed. 52,000 more abortions occurred in the United States in 2002 than would have been expected given the previous trend.
The majority of women who receive partial birth abortions only do so when the life or health of the mother is at risk. Also, under the partial birth abortion ban, women are not permitted to have an abortion after the first trimester. Many birth defects cannot be detected until after the second trimester.
The partial birth abortion ban was a political trick to erode women\'s rights. I think only women should be allowed to propose or write legislation, vote on it, or otherwise make any decisions relative to abortions.
-
^^^^^
I meant in terms of not having anything to do with the woman\'s health, that she\'ll be fine if she does, and was not because of rape or anything else like that, only because she didn\'t want the child. My friend, she took drugs and continued to drink heavily...well...MORE heavily for the sole purpose of killing the fetus, and then actually got depressed when she had a miscarriage :rolleyes:
She slept with some guy because she was desperate, so she didn\'t want the kid. She never uses condoms or birth control...she\'s not the brightest crayon in the box.
EDIT: The porn industry has multiple abortions all the time, but I\'m not going into that, because the whole porn industry is full of dumb @sses.

It was for one of my classes in high school. You didn\'t have to watch if you didn\'t want to. I think I was the only one who was, cuz everyone was turning their heads and a lot of girls were crying. It was only a short segment...and you didn\'t have to come that day to class. The whole video was on f*cked up stuff in the world.
And I saw it cuz I wanted to see just how bad partial-birth abortions, and abortions in general are. The baby is still crying and sh*t and it\'s all undeveloped. Blah...I\'m done...sorry :(

Man STFU.
You probably didn\'t even watch it so you have no idea of what I\'m talking about. I listened to it and he kills it when he says "no blood for oil" and other shit but the video has a message to it.
Now go read some Rush Limbaugh.

Yeah it is pretty ****ed up. The way I see it it\'s honestly not our call. People bitch about a woman having no heart and blah blah blah and go on about conscience. It\'s her baby and her body. It\'s not going to affect you in any way shape or fashion and if the woman feels the need to do something of that sort then it\'s not up to you to decide.
Shit you\'re not going to be the one having a huge piece of flesh and bones come out of one of your holes.
I can\'t believe Bush doesn\'t want hate crimes to apply to gays. That is just plain dirty.

It\'s a bit too late for the peeps in Iraq.
-
Do I care? Should you? The answer is the same.
-
Actually I do kind of sort of care you know. I mean they are dying in order to "protect us" and our "freedom". I don\'t know makes me care in some weird way.
-
^^^^^
Yeah...strange, huh? :D

Yeah...that\'s pretty lame. That doesn\'t make any sense. I\'ve seen a lot of guys beaten up because of their sexuality. It\'s really f*cked up right there.
-
Even being pro-Bush, I liked the video. Song is good too. I don\'t think it will have a profound impact, but I think it could stir up the minds of many of the brain-dead MTV viewers.
I\'ve never been a fan of musicians voicing their political opinions. I remember being at a Yellowcard concert and he was going on about \'getting that cowboy outta office\'. Just have to take it with a grain of salt.
-
^^^^
I would throw a shoe at his stupid ass for saying that at a concert...(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Finstagiber.net%2Fsmiliesdotcom%2Fcontrib%2Fruinkai%2Forange1.gif&hash=a49526dba53e92a9fb9f825163930502dc238d03)
-
That\'s one reason why I like 311 so much, they keep their political views and their music separate.
-
^^^^^^
Yeah...they just mostly sing about weed and shrooms :D 311 rocks...well...I prefer the old school stuff more...but um...yeah.
Going with what you said...oh course!!
*moving on now*
-
i thought the video was alright...i don\'t have a beef with artists expressing their views...that\'s what freedom is all about ;)..it\'s not gonna change my view of them..if they play hot joints that i like, i\'ll still cop it no-matter what political views they have...
-
I was shocked how good the eminem song was. I watched the video last night and thought it was the best he has ever done. The lyrics are really powerful.
-
I just saw it too, it\'s GREAT !
We here in Germany and the "old" Europe hope that the right man wins this time...

I think abortion should be illegal, except in the case of endangering the mother\'s life or in the case of rape. It counts as a double murder when a pregnent woman is killed, because the woman and her unborn baby were killed. But if the woman choses to abort the baby, it\'s completly fine, not a murder. Also they say, it\'s the woman\'s body which isn\'t right at all, this is another human being they\'re killing, it just happens to be inside a woman\'s body. How can you call it murder and not call it murder at the same time?
-
^^^^^
Yeah...it\'s the mother\'s child...but that doesn\'t matter really. People don\'t care because it\'s just an unborn fetus. I don\'t think it\'s just an unborn fetus. Hell...if my mom decided she didn\'t want ME anymore, and just snuffed me off like it was nothing, then that would be considered murder. Why should it make a damn difference whether I\'m a f*cking fetus or a young adult?
-
it\'s not anybody\'s decision to make on what an individual does with one\'s body period...whether she uses it for birth control or not, gov\'t has no right to tell anyone what to do with they\'re body..
-
Ok... now the subject of abortion has made its way into this thread. Really people - you need to stay on topic. It is just a pain when I see three threads where there is a big debate on abortion - and I can\'t move individual posts. The last time that happened they ended up in the PSX2Central black hole.
