you gotta respect kanye!

[where_i'm_calling_from]

you can see that on www.big-boys.com as well. its got a great little commentary on it. mike myers and chris tucker did not know what the hell to do when kanye suddenly says 'george bush doesn't care about black people'. properly funny.

[Echoes]

he struck them off the electoral lists, i.e. they can't vote for/against him - of course he doesn't care

[imafratelli]

That Sucks.

[where_i'm_calling_from]

what does?

[imafratelli]

Kanye West, Along With That Video.

[where_i'm_calling_from]

look at the one on www.big-boys.com. its got the extended version which is much better.

[Automatic Man]

yeh- 2fS.EmO, is the video crap cause you like bush, or cause you dont like the video? just asking...

jumping on the anti bush bandwagon is lame

[where_i'm_calling_from]

its now more shocking and post-modern to support bush. thats the main reason why i think hes a dude.

[Forgone Conclusion]

The only politician i REALLY like is Boris Johnson

it's all been done before, yeh he's a retard but everyone knows already

hating a trend simply because it has become a trend is even lamer though - at least bush haters can think for themselves, whereas what you're saying is that because lots of people dislike bush, you're going to force yourself not to; i.e. your entire set of opinions is entirely dictated by what other people are doing!

[Gabriel Synthesis]

that's not true at all though, i don't like it because most people are told not to like bush and that he's stupid

that doesn't really sound to me like they're thinking for themselves

ask most bush haters about why they hate him and all they'll come up with is "he's stupid" without any backing

what i don't like is people trying to seem more clever than they actually are by regurgitating buzz words and phrases

i was once watching one of george bush's speeches and there were two girls there also who kept laughing at everything he said even though he hadn't said anything remotely stupid but they obviously thought they would appear "political" if they did

needless to say when asked what they were laughing at all they could come up with was "he's so stupid"

so really what you just said is rubbish, i wasn't saying "that because lots of people dislike bush, i'm going to force myself not to" at all. I'm not pro bush and i'm not forcing myself to be pro bush in any way, i'm just not going to shoot my mouth off the whole time in a vague attempt to look more intelligent

[Forgone Conclusion]

I agree with Bob, it's annoying when people jump on the bandwagon of issues which were actually important, without knowing anything about the subject at all, as has happened with many recent major world events

you just have to look at your own post - I'm anti Bush. By your logic that's lame.

What about saying Hurricane Katrina is tragic. Everybody knows already, so that would be lame, right?

sometimes things are so blatantly obvious they can be said without the need for repeating proof. Who are you to say that people acknowledging the impression that Bush is an illiterate, propaganda spewing airhead and has obviously set america on a very misguided foreign policy, without explicitly saying so, is lame?

Yea, i'm anti bush, that's sooo lame.

maybe next time we public school kids can stop being so patronising. I don't disagree that there is often a bandwagon and that people take up opinions and causes with little thought - i bet a lot of people at the Live 8 concerts, organised as a push for fair trade, wouldn't be able to explain the difference between fair trade and the free trade they want to get rid of

but for anti bush stuff, it really is a load of patronising crap to brand Kanye West as lame just for criticising him over his handling of the Katrina disaster. I bet West knows a lot more about it than you do. That you didnt realise that was what West was being 'anti bush' about just shows how little thought you put into that snotty comment

[Gabriel Synthesis]

ok let's back track, what i meant to say in my first post was that being anti bush and not knowing why is lame

i.e. not having backing for your opinions except for the fact that someone else has told you to have them is not right

obviously it could be interpreted as all people who are anti bush are lame and i'm sorry if you took it that way, i didn't phrase my first comment correctly

i made absolutely no generalisations about trends and how all trends are rubbish, that's just something you made up.

the hurricane katrina thing is just a completely random slam, i don't think there's any way you could justify accusing me of thinking like that

and of course i realised that that's what the clip was about but i wasn't accusing kanye west of being lame that's just something else you've accused me of

yes i didn't put thought into my first comment but the thought i didn't put in was how to phrase it not the actual content

i'll change it for you

[Droogie]

as a politician i dont much care for his ideas but i like bush himself, he makes me laugh.

[Echoes]

sorry i was a meany


i agree with ya

also, bush may be a murderous, incompetent muppet, but yea, at least he does make people laugh!

as long as I'm not in america or in a country in need of 'liberating' then it's all good

[Forgone Conclusion]

Or in a country with large oil reserves

that translates as 'in need of liberating' anyway
