NOW the US is in there fighting the same people they trained, who are now using the weapons left by the soviets.
One big difference.
The Soviets spent...10 years trying to take over. The US ousted the Taliban in, what, about a year. Sure, there are a few pockets always causing trouble (like in Iraq) but that is to be expected.

I think I've said this before on this forum, but it bears repeating:
For a long time, the US government used the philosophy of The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We allied with the Soviets in WW2 against Hitler.
We helped Saddam against Iran in the Iran/Iraq War.
We aided Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
I know there are more examples, but I'm not sure of any at the moment.

Anyways, if you look at what is happening now, the US isn't really doing that. Despite what many (like the French) may say, the EU is probably the closest ally we have. Most of them were allies in Iraq/ Afghanistan and most are united against Iran right now.
If you look to the east, Japan and South Korea are fairly strong allies and both are on our side concerning North Korea.
China and Russia, right now, are 2 big wildcards.


the reason for the time difference is cause, the soviets where fighting guys with the same technology as them, where as the US was using weapons of today vs weapons that were 15 years old.

I remember back when he was granted that $89 billion for his war, that the money he used could have been spent to buy a house for every single poverty-stricken family in America. But what does he do? He funds a pointless war.


see he should take that 120 billion and swap it with all the money going into alternate energy research


then he would have 10 billion for the war and we would have clean energy in 2 years

You know, swearing doesn't make one cool. And not likeing swear words in rap, does not make one ignorant. One of the problems I have with rap is that I can barely make out what the rapper is saying half the time, and what I can make out is either swear words(mostly the f word) or doesn't make sense(to me).


yeah no one is saying it does, however if you dont take the time to really look at the stuff you are ignorant about it, by definition. everyone can listen for what they want if you ignore the fact that there is swearing and listen to the song objectively you'd hear the stuff i am talking about. did you read some of the lyrics i posted, listen to the song after you read them and then talk to me about rap. your right there is alot of shit rap out there but there is also alot of smart quality stuff.

I think I've already posted my other reasons for disliking rap, but it also has to do with the fact that some musicians can get famous by working their asses off to be really good guitar players, while others can get famous by talking to a rhythm that somebody made on their computer.


ok cool dude, yea it jsut seemed that way from your last post cause you were like well ones full of swear words and the other one is good. if you read the lyrics you'll see at each line in there is as rich as the one i described to you b4.

you might actually feel smarter cause they are so rich.


Isn't that a bit much? Not even my favorite music makes me feel smarter. I guess the thing for me, is that I need music that requires some musical talent in order to do. I'm not saying that all rap/hip-hop artists are untalented, I just think that guitar chops or drum rhythms sort of win out over "mad rhymin' skillz".

well i donno depends how much you read into stuff, soem rap draws alot of connects that people dont regularly see. so in that way it does, by makin you more informed. of course it all depends on what rap you listen to though.

see i like k-os, he just doesnt have that prefect flow in his lyrics, they are quite chop if you know what i mean. here is a great verse

Yeah.... Harlem streets stay flooded in white powder
Like those mother fuckers runnin' away from the twin towers
Gun shots rock the earth like a meteor shower
Bowling For Columbine, fair, giving the media power
Innocence devoured like a chicken spot snack box
Government cocain cooked into ghetto crack rock
Corrupt cops false testimony at your arraignment
Check to check, constant struggle to make the payments
Working your whole life wondering where the day went
The subway stays pakced like a multi-cultural slave ship
It's rush hour, 2:30 to 8, non stoppin'
And people coming home after corporate share croppin
And fuck flossin, mothers are trying to feed children
But gentrification is kicking them out of their building
A generation of babies born without health care
Families homeless, thrown the fuck off of the welfare
