Happy birthday lm, you sick fuck!

I don't think you and I have ever had any sincere personal attacks on each other back and forth, but you sure know how to tickle the haters. I picture you, as most of the over the top personalities on here, as easy enough to get along with in the real world but we all need a place to go to stir shit up to keep ourselves sane. Nobody is that completely easygoing or mild mannered all the time, and when people are like that they usually end up getting stabbed repeatedly in the chest for my entertainment on the Discovery ID channel.

Cheers to your 32!
Get a room, gaylords!

Edit: Happy Birthday from the land of prisoners.
Hey, isn't there only like 2 charts left on beatport that you haven't had a hit on yet. Move along.

i certainly never meant to hurl any sort of real personal attack at you. I might have anyway though, who knows, i'm kind of an asshole.

Y'know, i really think i'm a genuinely nice guy in real life. I just don't like many people. And i don't really intend to stir up shit, i just kind of can't stop myself from saying what i feel/think. I'm like that in real life too, though, but most people don't say the kind of shit that gets me really pissed off in real life.



anyway, thanks man, maybe i'll run into you when i move out to the bay.

I have to admit I don't know the details of the story but have gotten ear fulls of opinions on radio and TV. What I find disturbing and hilarious is that the biggest and loudest opinions have very little to do with the actual event and more to do with history over the last 100 years as if they were just waiting for any opportunity to go on a diatribe about racism.

Is that somewhat hypocritical given the nature of this thread and the fact I started it? No. It's completely hypocritical.
wasn't baiting you good sir just thought the shoe fit since both issues were about what goes on in the house. I think you hit on something important there though, the history over the last 100 years is a very big supressed deal in this country, you know everywhere else in the world they don't try to hide it but americas ass is so tight when it comes to race and sex it's rediculous. we keep trying to act like people don't get arrested for going in their own houses these days.

I don't know the facts but I can imagine that prof.dude talked alot of shit especialy thinking he was safe in his own house and I can imagine that cop was thinking you're not as safe as you think buddy lemme show you.......

Um him and his driver were breaking the locks and door frame on his house. Of course the cops stoped him, and have every right to put both of them in cuffs until the details are sorted. its the professor and types like him that propagate as much racism as the kkk.

Edit- they probably spread more hate than the kkk.

So you think he felt like it was safe to commit a crime and hell get away with it because he is in his own house? or did he feel safe because it was win win for him and he could take advantage of the situation and get away with it because he is black and wealthy and needs some public attention for the books hell be writing?

Dude I know what u mean (I'm just 25)
I was walking with my dog, and a cute young (16 or something) girl drove me by with her bicycle
with some loud gangsterrap banging out of her headphones. Somehow I got irritated.
I was like, does she really like that? Does she know other musicstyles?
Mtv / Musicstations really know how to brainwash today with what's "cool".
It's the kind of rap that's totally braindead, just about money, bitches and being cool.
But all I see is no personality at all.

Although there are nice hiphop tracks, mostly with intelligent words and more experimental.

imo

What track was playing in her headphones?
What could you actually hear coming from the headphones?
What were the lyrics?
What specific hip hop artists do you think are braindead?
What specific hip hop artists are "nice intelligent and more experimental?"

Edit- they probably spread more hate than the kkk.

first of all they didn't arrest him while he was breaking in throwaway, they arrested him after he proved that he lived there with various identifications and they were already inside the house. if you had been trying to get into your house after a trip and then a neighbor (wtf kind of neighbor is that) called the police on you you'd be pissed as well.

I don't think the cop arrested him cause he was black I think the cop arrested him because he was talking shit and wanted to show him whos in control which was the cop, not his terrible nasty wealthy black book selling educated self.

as far as racism today, I've experienced being stopped and held going into my house twice in the past year
and each time the cops said that they didn't know I lived their (as if I forgot to send them out a notice)
I have gated parking so I get out unlock the gate, then park and then go back and lock the gate and the last time this happened was when I was locking the gate but it wasn't all the way closed yet and they just drove up beside me and halted all of my actions, then after fucking with me for a while and making me explain why I'm going into my own home, they told me to get a "fucking haircut" and drove off.

the first time It happened I was going in the front door, with a key mind you and they told me we didn't know anybody lived here. I live in west los angeles now, this also happened to me about 8 years ago when I was living in santa monica. i was simply going through the front gate of the apt I live in and the police stopped me and asked me if I know beatsme :lol: , I'm kidding beats..... they asked me where i was going, i told them I'm already where I was going which is home and they told me way back then that they didn't know that I lived there. so this has happened to me 3 times and in 2 different places, the question throwaway is how many times has this happened to you???

on a weird note has anybody noticed that cops and gangters always say the same thing to you? gangsters always ask what set you claim and then say "i'll see you later" and cops always say they didn't know some shit they weren't even suppose to know in the first place.

btw I think the kkk has done much much more to further racism and hatred in america than people like this prof. maybe you could make a list side by side of everything the kkk has done and everything this prof. has done and enlighten me on why what he's done is worse?

yeah, I saw that line too but figured it was too dumb to even disagree with.
