  • Camille Paglia is a tight ass

    Who is she??? Why is she writing about dance music if she doesn't dance to music? How can you seriously take criticism from a person who ADMITS THEY DON'T DANCE TO THE MOST DANCEABLE MUSIC IN THE WORLD!!

    This lady should loosen her sphincter and shake her ass, then maybe she won't be so threatened by an older woman who still rocks. Madonna we love you.

  • Waste-O-Paper

    The advertising industry co-opts things that the culture thinks are cool and alternative? How many pages does it take to make THAT point?

    You know what's really outsider? Not analyzing the culture too much, knowing who you are and being that person, not worrying about whether you can still be cool or alternative, and just being human.

    And creativity, creativity is neat too. Writing stories, making music, shooting movies, painting some crap. That's neat.

  • Um, why are we still dropping bombs at all???

    We went to war to get rid of weapons of mass destruction. They didn't exist. So we decided, we're here anyways, we may as well free these people from the tyranny of Hussein. Now he's dead. So we've dropped 500,000 pounds of bombs on people who have no weapons of mass destruction and who we've freed from the tyranny of a dictator? That's hilarious. Who are we bombing exactly?? The innocent civilians getting killed are the people who are supposedly "grateful" for our intervention - and the "bad guys" are just terrorists who happen to be passing through and using Baghdad/Kabul/etc as their base. Since the only pseudo-government in Iraq is the one that we put there, it's impossible to make the argument that the government of Iraq is supporting the terrorists. Why aren't we bombing Queens in New York? We know that terrorists were based there too.

    Never underestimate the government/industrial-war machines power and need to create perpetual enemies. After all, if there was peace we wouldn't need bombs. These are people who are trained in the language and technology of war, and have absolutely no clue how to radiate peace.

    And we're still bombing Afghansitan? Oy, vey. These are people who had the misfortune to live in a place where terrorists figured they could train without being bothered. And now their already dilapidated country has been bombed back to the middle ages by a bunch of paunchy middle-aged American war-men with computer guided missiles sitting in an air-conditioned trailer counting women and children on a screen like bonus points on a video game. Another victory over hearts & minds? Not so much.

    At least the media/government is no longer subjecting us to the degrading images of people in Iraq and Afghanistan thanking U.S. for coming and saving them - probably hard to find anyone willing to do that since they are all so busy burying their collateral damage, I mean friends and family.

    My heart goes out to the Cheney's, Bush's, and all the confused people who still think war is a good idea, I truly hope and pray for them that light may enter their hearts and minds and let them see that Peace is the way.
