Sociology - September 2006

Why does America (White America, neoconservatives and the Republican Party) slam RAP music so much when Rock music is filled with demonic, satanic symbology.
I can think of hundreds of examples but for now I'll just mention DISTURBED, DROWNING POOL and gruge rock such as GWAR.

Rap music doesn't have people going out and tatooing all types of psychotic **** on themselves and killing animals or doing retarded things.

Rap and gang violence are not the same thing. Rap doesn't force people to kill anyone - the scoi-economic conditions that those individuals are living in plays the majority role in that. YOU CAN NO MORE CLAIM RAP CAUSES VIOLENCE THAN YOU CAN CLAIM VIDEO GAMES CAUSE VIOLENCE.

I'm a White Male and I love rap. I notice that all its detractors are solidly White, OLD and right wing.
One day I was in my car and a racist White asshole called me a "w!gger" - it made me angry cause I don't normally experience anti-back racism directed at myself.

I love doing this, as there are so many interesting people to look at.

How about you? Do you have an interesting story to tell?

Yesterday I felt enormous gratitude from helping one of my fellow aikido students. Over the last few weeks I had helped him prepare for his grading test. The guy did so good that the teacher said it was the best test he'd ever seen for a first grade. I think I felt just as overwhelmed with joy as he did seeing my pupil do so well. When was the last time this happened to you and how did it happen?

Is the fact that our young society is becoming iconoclastic and on the way to anarchy (The wish to live by social rules and without oppresive government) the reason for the mass of legislation ostensibly to fight terrorism now being rushed through?

Just looking for some straightforward answers here. Is it the way he expresses himself, talks, how emotional he can get, or the good deeds he does? Also, could a guy just be putting on he is a do gooder but really not? by that I mean conflicting, or just an act to please you as a boyfriend. Any tests or trial to see if he is genuine?

Any input is wonderful. Beautiful day to you.

What do you people think are words that make people feel comfortable at different stages of a conversation and in different types of conversation - ie. formal and informal, agreement and disagreement - family/friends/stranger...?

What is the best advice you can give about been behaviour and body language, etc, aware...?

What kind of language affends most people, whether you know them well or not? What is generally acceptable as far as language, behaviour, actions, reactions, defensive, aggression, expression thereof, passive aggression and any other topic you can think of...?

I'm looking for facts, explanations of how eg. love feels, or the affect "f*ck" has on you or "stupid" has on you, and what would help to heal that space if money, time, place, space, people, medication, diet, sleep, and conformity were not a focus in this instance...? Lets say you were free do to what you need to to heal...what would you do?

Any other throughts?

Do I sound confused (NO JOKERS IN HERE...)

People prefer to looked old and experienced when work is concerned but...want to appear young and innocent when relationship is concerned. Is it better to look younger than actual age or not?

Why to judgemental people have to pop up and give us their critisism instead of an honest answer?
Has anyone else noticed that people are SO fast to condemn rather than just open up and give an answer? is it just me?
Any Ideas? Theories? Let's hear it!
Thanks!

I believe people need laughter to get them through their daily routines. We must laugh to relieve stress.
As for LOVE it is the most important emotion we were given. We have to share it, though, in order to experience it.
