I think oddly enough revok is the only person to not make a public statement on this so far

Heltah is ill

Trash the way she lookin at the camera makes me feel like im fucking someone with down syndrome

a pretty tite live set

Fair enough, id still place Guru and Mos up higher on my personal list. But yea, KRS can get a bit corny

im always surprised mos def doesnt make more top 10 lists. I think lyrically hes insanely talented, and he has a decent body of work. Guru as well would be top 10 for me, maybe Jeru and KRS as well

tech over rakim and big l? ehhhh idk

money, and the fact you dont need to have the shit beat out of you to make it

currently at 455 deadlift 375 squat 255 bench focusing on this bulk season on getting my bench numbers up, pretty ok with the rest at the moment

Good to hear it!

New Tags and Throws!

still heavy today

Unfortunately theres only enough blood to have 1 going at a time

The saying "Putting all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind

I see the point that you're making. However, despite the founding fathers being incredibly visionary in the creation of a government, that does not mean they were 100% right in ever area. Simply because the right to bare arms as a part of a well regulated militia (which the US doesn't have, Switzerland does) is among the first amendments, doesnt mean it is infallible. One of the main arguments I have heard about taking a different approach to government, i.e following the Scandinavian model of democratic socialism, is that it wouldn't work in the US due to the difference in size of our countries, and the fact that many of the Scandinavian countries are largely homogeneous. However, when it comes to examining our own bill of rights under a critical eye, all of a sudden people seem to forget that our collection of colonies was very similar to what the Scandinavians have today. So, in a sense, we are operating on a system that was designed for an entirely different kind of country; yet, these guiding principles are supposedly unbreakable? also Fun Fact: The US is no longer even considered a democracy, but rather a flawed democracy. Which on the global scale ranks our government with that of Italy based on electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture.

At this point its especially hard to determine motive, simply because the main source of that information is dead. Even so, im not sure how determining motive would help us progress further with preventing this sort of thing from happening again?

Having a lot of something doesn't make you passionate about said thing. Would you trust a mechanic who owns 1 car, or some rich douche with 5 sports cars when it comes to knowledge about motor vehicles.

are you looking for graff specific zine, or general zines? kolaj is pretty dope

As a side not, in relation to the whole "founding father's intentions" argument... At the time of the 2nd amendment's creation, the founding fathers were utilizing an arsenal of single shot muskets that took about at least 15 seconds to reload. I don't think anyone could have fathomed what the world experienced from World War I, and we've only become more advanced since then.

People are still around... I think online forums as a whole have died in popularity a bit since we got social media platforms.

Its as much cultural as it is just where you've grown up. Being from a suburb in New England is vastly different from growing up in, say, NYC. I have conflicting feelings about carrying, simply because I do agree with your concerns about being trapped with no possible way to defend yourself. However, I don't trust many people to keep their emotions in check, and having a firearm literally at your waist could escalate a small argument to something way larger. There's a lot of fucked up people in this world who will (clearly) abuse their right to a firearm, but trusting everyday citizens to act as law enforcement is a tricky path. And I enjoy open discussions about these issues so long as people are level headed. I think dialogues, even on a forum, can force people to challenge and defend their own thoughts. Who knows, maybe opinions will change.
