Farkel, I remember that picture. It did look like Will Smith on the ground in the corner. Someone posted it on this board, but I can't remember where. I think it was worse than these. I hope someone can find it.

What Is Wrong With This Picture ?

Good work. Talley. Mind if I copy it to give to my niece?

You know, it's one thing to grow up with these photos. And then believe in them. To teach your kids that this will happen to you if you don't serve Jehovah. It's another thing to take out all the text, show them to a third, objective party, and see the reaction. This person knew nothing of me being an xjw. Didn't know anything about the religion.

Her reaction? "Jesus H. Christ, where the hell did you get these pictures?" At first she thought it was a joke. She couldn't figure out who would put them into actual books. She thought it might be right-wing extremists, who want to overthrow the government, but then she saw the different races and nixed that idea. She just couldn't get over how they were all laughing and smiling. And with children in the photos too.
I kept trying to get her to guess, but she got angry and told me she didn't want to look at them anymore. That they were "disgusting."

Finally I told her the whole sordid story of my life and how it was to grow up looking at it everyday. She had tears in her eyes, hugged me, and told me she was so, so sorry for me. And asked me how I ever got out with all my senses.

I told her I didn't.......

"Imagine" all the inappropriate songs...

by Tatiana in

this is a complete list of "lyrically inappropriate" songs being banned from several us radio stations in the wake of the attacks.. "it's very dangerous," says nina crowley, director of massmic, a music free-speech organization.

"i understand they're pulling certain violent songs.

but you put out a list of songs like this, and the next thing you know someone's pulling the albums off the shelves in wal-mart.".

I was thinking it may have been all a joke. But they had a segment on TV last night about it. They never talked about the retraction. And they showed the list. But maybe most Djs aren't paying attention...thank God.

Blowin' in the Wind

by crossroads in

forgive my spelling and my rambling.. i look at stevie i think i really let him down.

we are suppose.

to hand off a better world to our kids-i wonder if i'll have one.

Tatiana

crossroads, we are the same age. Smile...

And I love your words. It is how I feel inside. I have often railed against the outrageous saleries athletes receive, when teachers get paid only enough to survive. When schools are falling down and teachers and parents have to scream to high heaven to get the asbestos out, but we tear down a perfectly good stadium and build a new one right next to it.

And you're right, after MLK and JFK were gone, we stopped doing much of anything and let the government just tell us what WE wanted. I have a feeling after this blows up in our faces, we are going to see some more protesting. But, this time the government will have twice as much power.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to be bad in the days ahead. I think we are underestimating these people. I think it's going to be "bad" before it gets "better". And I don't think I'LL ever be normal again. (Like I ever was-ha)But I think that's a good thing.

No, crossroads, you're not the only dreamer.....and Stephen, you are so right....only love is the answer. And such a simple one....if only......if only.....

Love and peace....

And I will be taping this one. I have about 59 hours of news since last Tuesday morning. One day when my little ones get older, they will look at these tapes and wonder what the hell was wrong with us!
At least I HOPE they will.

Path...I understand....I was just messing with ya! It's just that with all the sh** happening, that word seems more than appropriate.

Eyebrow, I totally agree! I can't even tell them apart! And I'm kind of disappointed with the first "stars" on Michael J's list for the song to help the victims. I mean, Britney??? ick. Justin Timberlake? gag. Destiny's Child?? Commercial pap.
I was hoping for some "meatier" stars, like when they did We Are The World. Oh well, maybe the list will get better....

crossroads, I agree. We thought we had BIG BROTHER before???????!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
I forsee the year 2025---implanted chips behind your ear!!! Yeah, so I like the X-Files!

Seven, it seems it's Clear Channel Radio. They own more than 1200 stations, but seem to have backtracked now, and it was only a "suggestion." Wonder how that happened?

"The nation's biggest radio station chain said it had 'suggested' a list of songs that its stations might avoid playing after last week's devastating attacks on America but said it had not banned any music.

A spokeswoman for Clear Channel Radio, which owns more than 1,200 AM and FM stations nationwide, said the list contained fewer than 150 songs. She declined to specify which tunes were included.

Copies of the purported list posted on various Web sites encompassed a wide range of music, much of it apparently included because of their titles. Among them were hard-rocking AC/DC hits like ``TNT'' and ``Highway to Hell,'' the Bangles' pop-friendly ``Walk Like an Egyptian,'' Led Zeppelin's classic ''Stairway to Heaven'' and even such mellow tunes as ``Dust in the Wind'' by Kansas, John Lennon's ``Imagine,'' James Taylor's ``Fire and Rain'' and ``Leavin' on a Jet Plane'' by Peter, Paul & Mary.

The San Antonio-based radio station chain, a unit of Clear Channel Communications Inc., issued a statement saying contrary to reports on the Internet and other media, ``Clear Channel Radio has not banned any songs from any of its radio stations.''

``Each program director and general manager must take the pulse of his or her market to determine if play lists should be altered, and if so, for how long,'' the company said.

The original list was circulated by Jack Evans, vice president of programming for Clear Channel Radio's Western Division, to program directors and station managers from Denver to the West Coast, company spokesman Pam Taylor told Reuters."
