To be honest, I haven't bought a record or paid to see a movie in so many
years I forget what it's like.


Unless I see one of their movies on TV I'm not familiar with their work.


The last time I bought music was back in the 70's and there were pretty
decent artists then. Without all the political agendas.


Who pays good money for a video off someone who covers their faces with
piercings, dangling earrings out their nose, who reads a teleprompter of
curses, insults, puts out the notion of murdering cops, all in so many
curse words and filth you can barely understand what they're saying.


`Rap'? Thats art?


It's the stupidest shit I've ever heard or seen, the majority of those who
do it look like they either just got out of the joint, or belong there.


You know what one of my pet peeves is?

Some socialist minded asshole will be doing an interview in a report series
on why a large number of *minorties* have high rates of unemployment.


And the shitbird he or she is `interviewing' is complaining they `can't find
nobody to hire them `cause they black'! Or they're hispanic! And they get
discriminated against all the time and don't get hired, and it MUST be `cause
they black, or hispanic!

And while they're laying all this BS out there in the camera....you take a
good look at the person while they're talking.


First thing you notice is the `diction' of their speech. It immediately makes
it obvious that, either they didn't go to far in school or they'd have learned
better speaking skills. Or the school they did go to had a lot of those
`affirmative-actioned' teachers who made it through teachers college on the
`diversity' scholarship, and they don't have much better `diction' themselves!


Then...as the person gets to the `why they can't get no job' part of the
interview, you take a good long look at them and know that, if YOU were the
employer they were applying to work for, the minute they were out the door and
off your premises you'd drop their application in a shredder!


In fact...looking at some of them and listening to them, I wouldn't want to be
an employee at a place THEY were working!


And thats just the ones who haven't been in prison yet!


How do you hire somebody who's got street gang tattoos all over their necks,
steel ringlets sticking out of their lower lip, and several teardrops tattooed
coming from the corner of one eye? What part of the public would you want this
sucker to be dealing with in your place of business? Most decent businesses
that pay real good money don't have a whole big customer base with the street
gang set, or a large ex-con trade.


You sit there and listen to this sad tale of `entitlement woe' from them, and
you have to wonder when the last time it was they took a good self-critical
look at themselves in a mirror! They come across as `the world owes them
something'. And it's all society's fault that they didn't pay attention in
school, dropped out to `hang out' with the gang, got tattoos all over their
faces, arms and necks, steel rings hanging out of their lips or nose, the
lobes of their ears held open with big plastic rings, wiped themselves out
with dope, and bitch `cause nobody'll hire them!


And thats all our fault, and we OWE them something!
