Marsh A lot of people feek the wat you do about NFL

I can see that

And I hink they will get more replies then one may think

I just think one cesorship leads to another

Thanks for you class andprofessional way of speaking on a touch subject

BTW my wife is black and my family was from Ireland

Hope taht meets the sites standars

That is a great point!

One loss of a freedom leads to another..... then another, then another!

I mean you can see these kind of encrouchments through out history!

And now thinking about it, it seems very radical of the founding father's of u.s. to want to have that! freedom of speech!


It seems the very idea scares certain groups of people..

poets and writers have been cersored endlessly....

"lady chattertly's lover" was banned in the states....

"lolita" etc.etc......

songs have been banned......... "Street Fighting Man" , "The Unknown Solider" etc....etc.....

I am with you & we are childeren of the greatest revolution in history ever....

that brought us our freedoms which many take for granted.....

let's not take them for granted....... speak out!

it's your right!




"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Well I´m white as an Aspirin but I sure hope the cross- and record-burning hillbilly-tradition in the South, in US, is over and passed history.
That´s my only point.
Dylan put it like this, some 40 y o: "Something is happening here, and you dont know what is iii-i-i-i-i-iiis, do you, Mr. Jones.... ?" (Bob Dylan Ballad Of A Thin Man, Highway 61 Revisited 1965).
- Please, Please Me do not step back forty-fifty years in time... Before you know it, you have made a 500 year long step like the guys in the middle east and the tall, bearded guy who hypnotise people to blow themselves in the air.

Well we're talking about censorship and your coming down on ceretain groups who have opinions?

That's the bad part of freedom of specch. EVERYBODY GET'S TO SAY THEIR PIECE!

whether we like it or not...

I don't know if the south has changed..... I'm a yankee and never had the chance to visit the south.

But even in the north we still get Klan rallies downtown..... but I haven't heard from them in a while...


I think the time of the klan has passed....


Weird to think around the beginning of the 1900's they had over a million members and marched on washington.


I actually live a few blocks from where the Grand Dragon used to live. It is a huge white house with pillars..... he raped and held this young lady hostage in his gargae. her name was Madge Oberholtzer......

They made a movie out of it ."Cross of Fire"

They say the place is haunted............

well anyway..........

I'm done with my history lesson for the day! lol!

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Yep, Kyle; that´s the nice thing with all our images of each other old world/new world; L´Europe, L´America that is. Amerigo Vespucci... No, sorry; I mean, you have never been to the south. Which state are you writing in? And why should you: US is as big as 2/3 of the whole Europe (including Ukraine and the whole friggin sh*t)... Here we stroll around believin´ you are a bunch of stereotypes. And some of you over there see us here overseas as a comic strip-sketched grey mass, Monthy Python-wise.
- BTW Can you get me a link or some hint how to find the haunted house
(always interested in such; me & the kids were going to a spooky, haunted place this weekend but changed plans recently... Another time...
Saw a hanged man in my student room back in 1991, no drugs, no nothin, but my current girlfriend saw the same thing. A man had hung himself there 12 years earlier I learnt to know later, in 1993. Well, off-topic, sorry.)

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Thank you for good answer & guide-offering.
Of course I´ll fo to the States, it´s my biggest dream.
Like more than 1,5 million Swedes emigrated in mid-1800´s till 1920.

Indiana is that great lakes or below/south (Sorry for my ignorance)?

Gotta sleep soon its 01:51 in the middle of the night here...

I am half swedish! hehe........also half german...

Indiana is considered mid-west.

Lake Michigan touches the northern most part of Indiana. If that helps!


Night bamboo bro

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

So great lakes in some sense, huh?
Know anyhing ´bout your Swedish ancestors
(need any help: I´m a Historian/part-time genealogist)?
Nighty-nighty/Good afternoon/Good evening!

I am from NYC and don't sterotype induvidula from Europe just general philosophy

Very Liberal her

The south has chnaged a lot but I still would not live there

I am in an interacial relationship it would not be popular in some parts

Mt Major was History

So maybe we have more in common then ya think

Barboon you make good points

The only thing that saved america was the fact we have a representative democracy (and rolling stones)

So unlike French revoltion the majority had to fight to have absolute rule

That is way we did not have some of the issue the French had purges etc


And a great Constitution. Rememeber only in the west did slavery end from within

In Africa today it still exists. Sudan etc. In India citorectomes (spelling)?

When England took over India they stoped the practice of wifes burning in Husbands funeral fires. (I don't say it was right to be there)

Many looked at constitution and said "we are not living uo to it and fought for equality.

It was the measuring stick for underground railroad Martin Luther King The Quakers Charles Finney John Wesley william wilberforce in England when here came he etc....Great men who fough against slavery

However laws don't change hearts....

So some still exists I am glad I also am in NYC.

But am thankful for the measuring stick we have.

Have a great night

There are skinheads in Europe and racists remain in various parts of America, but I don't think the basic principles of either or the hopes and feelings of most people in both places are anywhere near the historical past.

It looks like some bridges have been crossed, fences mended, and friends made across this thread. A common interest (Stones) and thorough dialogue of differences can do that. Fantastic!

true I kept listening to songs today boy I lovE RJ AND BOMH

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT
