Damn, I love wikipedia:

On the May 11, 2006 broadcast of “The Big Story”, Gibson called for his viewers to have more children. His reasoning appeared to be in part to prevent Hispanics (who he doesn’t consider White) from ever being the racial majority in America. [13] [14]

Great column. I agree completely with everything that you said here, Tara.

True, a lot of the people who signed up in Iraq were young, impressionable kids who had little to no idea of what they were getting themselves into. But after being a part of the goings-on there, and experiencing the things they’ve experienced, chances are they’ve become a lot more mature than the spoon-fed trust fund babies who govern our nation today.

Conservatives are just afraid of losing control, and the situation in Iraq is an example of that. They’re trying more and more to hold on, but its all just slipping through their fingers.

hey’I'm in Iraq living in the middle of Fallujah city n to be honest when ever the boyz n me get a chance to listen to some hip-hop,rap or reaggeton n spit some lyrics may be the only time that we may have to relax n put our mind at ease, a woman is going to be a woman n a hoe is going to be a hoe regardless of the situation, and by first hand knowledge the content of a few hip-hop song doesn’t make me a better or worst Marine, they can ration how much music we get on the radio if they wanted too but we still have cd’s mp’3 n by the way the iraqi people love it, even though they dont know how to dance!!! the bottom line is the military and the goverment agencys can attempt to control what we listen too, even what we eat or the way we live but there is no body that can control our hearts n minds… specially if this music has become part of your culture…hey i guess we got somebody in white houses that likes hip=hop how’s that condolisa cause i’m sure is not G.W

Well…I’m stationed in Iraq…(65 to go out of this year)…and all you really here is country…country…and classic rock…some old shit…country…and some classic rock as well…

Now as far as the fact that they think we are impressionable human beings…that is type funny…who cares if the shit is misogynistic…there aren’t that many females here anyway…and shit…they do what they do…if nothing at all..they are worse than the males…guntalk?…I walk around with an M-4 all damn day with a enough magazines and bullets to last me a life time.

Endstate..I applaud the fact that we finally get some shit to listen too when we turn on AFN…grant it…it’s been a long time coming…but hey…it’ll be all good for the next soldiers to come…I can’t live without my music…and AFN…just a simple radio station…could’ve possibly made the shit go by a tad bit smoother.

Yeah… if there’s one thing the soldiers don’t need, it’s music that suggests that it’s OK to shoot and kill people for no apparent reason.

Say what you want, but there is not one positive effect on either the soldiers or the Armed Forces themselves by creating a hip-hop station.

No it’s just that back in the 80′s hip hop was seen as a fad that would go away after a few years. It’s 2006 and most likely suburbian kids want to be a rapper. They get tired of their everyday lives so they throw on a gangsta rap cd and they too are gangsta for seventy minutes. That’s what’s getting to them, people like Diddy, Jay, 50, and Eminem all have multiple outlets. (Clothes, water, books, shoes, Fragrents, watches, labels, President of a major label, ect.) Hip-hop is all over the place and they’re scared of it, but I don’t know why.
1.Rush was on pills, hip-hop now a days is about the dope boy music, so T.I or Jeezy probably sold the pills to him. lol
2.Mel Gibson brought Jesus to the movies, Prodigy beat him up and Kanye brought Jesus to the strip clubs.
3.Probably should’ve left this out, but Mel Gibson says our soldiers shouldn’t hear about “street guns killing people” Gangsta rap has gun play four bars into the song, so what the hell are they doing over there, talking? Hell no they’re blowing people up.
So many things we have in common.

Damn, country music aint really much better than rap. I mean the lyrics have the same meaning. I guess if a country artists sings about a one night stand its sounds better than a rapper saying a sexed that hoe(garden tool).

I will add that I disagree about the soldies “naive, impressionable minds.”

I mean hell, they signed up to go get shot at in some hell whole of a foreign country so that Haliburton can give its executives a bigger Christmas bonus afterall.

Conservatives in this country (or at least what passes for them these days) will take any chance they can get to attack anything they deem to by even slightly subversive.

The fact is, regardless of what people want you to believe, the ONLY voice of dissent regarding the war, hell the current state of affairs in this country in total, that young people are going to listen to is coming out of hip hop.

Sure, Bruce Springsteen released a protest album, but how many 18 – 21 year olds do you think really listen to Bruce Springsteen.

I mean, look at how he phrases things. “Street guns”. Not guns mind you, because he sure as hell would piss off his conservative listening base if he were to attack guns. Not to mention the fact that the idea that a SOLDIER would be currupted by music about GUNS is like saying that that a train conductor should never listen to “I’ve been working on the railroad”. Its just plain fucking stupid.

And trust me, the countries we have bases couldn’t give a canary fart about what music our radio stations play, not when our Soldiers are slaughtering civilians (Haditha anyone.)

>Plus, the idea that soldiers have naïve, impressionable minds that must be protected is pretty silly.

Really?

You might wanna rethink that one.
