but look at life. Familes don't communicate. Couples don't communicate. You think things have improved in the last 15 years? Technillogiclly, yes. Morally, I beg to differ.

Moraly it may not be the same but it still applies either way...any relationship is still a relationship regardless on what level it may be.
I've met 2 people from HAN, one moved back to Houston, the other I don't talk to.
Also, I'm having a firm beleive web meeting could be bad. Maybe people arn't supposed to interact outside of their lives. The patterns that make up a life get thrown around. But thats just an idea. There's good points, but there's an equil amount of negative ones.
We meet through common interest and sharing ideas back and forth...from these ideas we form judgements about the other person and eventually it develops into friendships....no matter how much you want to deny it, it happens to all of us.

What I don't understand is why it is perfectly accepted when commercialized mainstream rap music has songs that blatently preach hate.....hate against other ethnic groups, hate against each other, hate against police, etc. If Blink 182 or N'Sync wrote a song talking about how much they hate some group, there would be such a huge uproar, and you would never hear of them again.

White people that think they are black piss me off to no end. I was at 6 Flags last weekend with my girlfriend and her friend and I was like "Goddam there is a lot of white trash here, they all act like they are black" and then her black friend (who is like a young Bernie Mack(sp?) was like "Goddam, yo, I ****ing hate dat shit!!" So apparently black people get pissed when white people act like that.

It's a free country, we are allowed to have opinions. Now I listen to Rap, Hip hop, and lots of underground rap and hip hop...but I also listen to all kinds of other music...minus country. I also don't speak like a complete tool.

The problem here isn't hip hop or rap music, it's mainstream music that the critics and the masses listen to that gives the bad name. 99% of hip hop is underground, and most people don't realize that. That being said, I personally don't see anything wrong with a person expressing themselves, their lives, and their feelings through their music. Sometimes this may involve talking about things that certain people don't like. But, that is what's so great about this country, we have the freedom of speech. Generally speaking the people who object to this music are those that don't know what that lifestyle is like. Parents, activists, and politicians from middle-upper white class suburbia voicing their opinions, and those are the protests that we see. I say if you don't like it, deal with it or don't listen to the music...period.

I think you mean conclusion.
That message may be bullshit to you, but that's their life. Some music doesn't even have a message.
Lots of people pride things that are detrimental, this is way down low on that list.
I don't think I did. I could have sworn you were calling it cRap music. All those people that say rap music is detrimental to our youth, yadda yadda yadda, they don't like rap music...period.
And you mean to tell me that no white people in texas live in the ghetto?

The thing that pisses me off about these rap liking "Thugs" is they constantly try and be hard asses all the time. Acting like assholes and trying to start fights with people and shit all the time. Give it up, your just a pussy ass who thinks they are ghetto because the music tells you about it.

^^^exactly...thats why you can't classify people into groups...saying blacks listen to rap, and white listen to pop, and asians listen to chinese music...you just can't do that...and the way they act is influence by music but why classify?? cuz you can't...theres just too many different diversity of people...
