Unless a hurricane has washed them over to the west coast, I think you mean to say 'specific':)

I'm curious, in regards to those who participated in this thread & are upset by this act of violence, have any of you done anything about it?

Come a long way? Sure, that's why the 20th century saw the Holocaust, the Great Leap Forward, the firebombing of Tokyo.... all the while proclaiming the notion of some sort of progress from barbarism!

I'm limiting my responses out of laziness & boredom.

History repeats itself, it's a common phrase.

Those acts of barbarism have existed and more will occur etc, but man has progressed as a species and through modern media, is more aware of what goes on in the world today than they would've done just a few decades ago.

The issue at hand here though, is not really how man has progressed, but how you as an individual justify the way that you think? You're not on trial, but I think the forum is curious to know, whether your opinions are actually what you really believe or are just attempts at gaining a bit of spotlight on a public form!

I'm glad you told us, nobody would've guessed it.

I went to his Twitter and gave him a piece of my mind. I feel so rejuvenated.

Really no one should not praise or trivialize that kind of violence. I'm against it, and since I don't know the people involved all I can really do is speak out against it (or any other example), when it is brought up in conversation. Other members and I might have zero influence on lil Reese, but at least you can know that I along with other membes are against that violent act. I don't know how influential other people can be on the internet - but I think it's possible you can pick up on something positive from other people on the internet, even though that is rarely the case. You yourself can weigh the opinions of other people and that can help you to further form your opinion, or at least help you understand your position better - this is the case any subject or issue really.

What in the name of the Great Pixie do you suggest we do about it??? You might as well say, well, yeah, I know you all think Assad's a ****er, but what have you done about it? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=FRED HALE SR.;1247822]So did I! He must have received a lot of hate mail.

I threw a brick at my screen when he was facing the other way.

Exactly this.

And the implication that the violence is somehow worse or more shocking because it was against a woman is quite misogynist.

Violence is something that has become more common in America than ever. Hatred and Racism in America has been on a incredible increase.

That is actually the opposite of true. Generally speaking, violent crime has been at historic lows in recent years.

If you said against the White Conservative Christian, then yes I agree.

So how is this different from other public displays of religiosity? This is just another example of post-Protestant morality where people slap each other on the back for having the correct thoughts on X...

Are you talking about this specific situation or just in context?

Violence is pretty dominant in bars. I used to have to separate people all the time when they got their punch ons, and throw them out the door. This is when there was no security while I was managing. Otherwise security backed me up on the ball for subduing violence.

To be honest I don't know what you're trying to get at. Are you trying to justify violence by making it subjective in every scenario? Do you actually think violence is ever a positive thing whether it's necessary or not? If you're going to point out every historical, religious, political event really you're just stressing that violence is more and more of a bigger issue to put it simply. It's really not that complicated.

You've taken one scenario and blown up the whole damn world.

Is there seriously a discussion going on over the morality of beating the **** out of someone?

No, just one guy trolling.

Ah. Carry on, then.

The **** does that have to do with someone beating someone down and then brutally stomping their helpless body?

But with GUN VIOLENCE, it has been in a incredible rise.

Nope.

Actually yes it has been increasing in recent years.

Provide evidence, or your claim is meaningless.

Actually no it hasn't, it's been decreasing.

:laughing: Just the facts Maam. LOL

I never heard of this kid till today

No wonder his name is Lil Reese, because he a lil man :laughing:

I dont feel he a representative of hip hop and I would like to see that kid try that with a gangsta bitch like Lady Of Rage who would knock his lil ass around:laughing:

Lil Reese is a little bitch. He is no adult. Just a little kiddy bitch.

well at least the girl got a pretty good shot on him...

even though Reese started the whole thing

Very good point MC.

Just because some religions have moral guidelines it doesn't necessarily mean when your are speaking on the subject of morality it is a "public displays of religiosity." Yes when a person speak about morality you can assume what he says comes from a religious perspective but you can also assume it come from universal sentiments too.

I think you're right that the post-Protestant moralist congratulates themselves for having a like-mindedness, but so do sports fans, and music fans, and political party affiliates etc etc.

Oh look, another thread becomes a religious pissing contest.

As this is (or was) a music forum had anybody actually heard anything this loser has put out before this all blew up?

Maybe the kid figured if Chris Brown can beat the crap out of a chick and sell lots, he could give it a whirl too

Anyway (directed at hhbh) there is no such word as "religiosity". It's religion, or if you prefer, religious fervour/expression. Stop making words up, you don't rule the world yet. :rolleyes: :nono:

HAIL THE GRAMMAR NAZIS!!!!

Reese and Chris Brown should team up, they can sing about bitches and how tough they are.
I think I'm right in saying Rhianna got back with Bad News Brown.
What a dumbass she must be.

I dont know how she came to that decision either

Gee Chris beats her, talks mad crap about her, spreads rumors about her, throws hissy fits, bipolar... such a good choice to spend time with that person and have a relation with

Oh, that's just his way of "articulosity." ;)

:laughing:

You mean one guy trolling and one sock puppet (the brain of one).

You're not implying hip hop bunny hop and Fracno Pepe Kiekie are "one guy trolling and one sock puppet " respectively and they are "the brain of one" of one person? I had suspicious feeling before they were - it seemed possible but then again I don't know...

They're a great couple you people just dont understand <3

Honestly I've been suspecting it's the case. I'm not saying HHBH is the fat controller though.

Well if they're not the same person they seem to be an unlikely couple, a person who acts like a white supremist under house arrest with a Congolese homeboy uh I don't know, the internet seems to make strange bed-fellows.
