I don't like abortion, but I do want the choice around.&amp;nbsp; I thought America was supposed to be free? And why is it that people care about other people's choices? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I have got to bring this point up: so why is it that most Pro-Lifers support war? That isn't pro-life.&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="copyHeader"&gt;"Abortion Was Legal&lt;a name="legal"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 							&lt;p class="copy"&gt;Abortion has been performed for thousands of years, and in every society that has been studied. It was legal in the United States from the time the earliest settlers arrived. At the time the Constitution was adopted, abortions before "quickening" were openly advertised and commonly performed."&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class="bodyBlue"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So why is it that abortion became illegal?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="copy"&gt;&lt;span class="bodyBlue"&gt;"Making Abortion Illegal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the mid-to-late 1800s states began passing laws that made abortion illegal. The motivations for anti-abortion laws varied from state to state. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One of the reasons included fears that the population would be dominated by the children of newly arriving immigrants, whose birth rates were higher than those of "native" Anglo-Saxon women.&lt;/span&gt;"&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That seems like an odd reason to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="copy"&gt;&lt;span class="bodyBlue"&gt;"Back-Alley Abortions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; The prohibition of legal abortion from the 1880s until 1973 came under the same anti-obscenity or Comstock laws that prohibited the dissemination of birth control information and services. &lt;/p&gt; 							&lt;p class="copy"&gt;Criminalization of abortion &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;did not&lt;/span&gt; reduce the numbers of women who sought abortions. In the years before &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt;, the estimates of illegal abortions ranged &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;as high as 1.2 million per year&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Although accurate records could not be kept, it is known that between the 1880s and 1973, many thousands of women were harmed as a result of illegal abortion.&lt;/p&gt; 							&lt;p class="copy"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Many women died or suffered serious medical problems after attempting to self-induce their abortions or going to untrained practitioners who performed abortions with primitive methods or in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;unsanitary &lt;/span&gt;conditions.&lt;/span&gt; During this time, hospital emergency room staff treated thousands of women who either died or were suffering terrible effects of abortions provided without adequate skill and care. &lt;/p&gt; 							&lt;p class="copy"&gt;Some women were able to obtain relatively safer, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;although still illegal&lt;/span&gt;, abortions from &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; doctors. This practice remained prevalent for the first half of the twentieth century. The rate of reported abortions then began to decline, partly because doctors faced increased scrutiny from their peers and hospital administrators concerned about the legality of their operations."&amp;nbsp; (&lt;a target="_new" href="http://mstigerfrogs.xanga.com/680878001/abortion-a-touchy-topic/www.prochoice.org"&gt;www.prochoice.org&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So overturning &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Roe vs. Wade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; will help get rid of abortions? I think not.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="copy"&gt;Another fun fact: "The 1973 &lt;a href="http://www.prochoice.org/policy/courts/roe_v_wade.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Supreme Court decision in &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; made it possible for women to get safe, legal abortions from well-trained medical practitioners. This led to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dramatic decreases &lt;/span&gt;in pregnancy-related injury and death."

They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair.

They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly.

Or STAY BACK! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;12.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&lt;span&gt;13.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;If someone grabs you , you can't beat them with strength but you can by outsmarting them . If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the Arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in the upper inner thigh VERY HARD. One woman in a class, this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it - it hurts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;14.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;After&lt;/span&gt; the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN... I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble and he's out of there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;15.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&lt;span&gt;16.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings , take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="MsoIntenseEmphasis"&gt;You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;II.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans: If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;III.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin-left: 0.5in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;IV.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc, and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 1in;" class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a.&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF ! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.

He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby --- This should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana. I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Edit:&lt;/span&gt; I am aware that some of these could be Myths or that they won't work on every rapist.&amp;nbsp; The point of this post is to get the information out there to people &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;who have &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; seen this yet&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h6 class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;--Also, it would be good to learn about self-defense!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;If you would like to vote for this post to be featured, go &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.xanga.com/cms/voting.aspx?user=Xanga&amp;amp;sort=date#item-row-39364"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" id="text-1504617320"&gt;(to get this featured on the home page)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://mstigerfrogs.xanga.com/717526319/through-a-rapists-eyes-this-is-not-a-joke/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Fuck Your Rebel Flag!

To me, it doesn't represent the heritage. How can it represent your heritage cause guess what ?? Our heritage is all of different countries not "the south" You don't see people from the North flying their flag, now do you? NOPE cause guess what? It's not about heritage. The north won the Civil War get the fuck over it. Thank goodness the North won or else there would still be slavery and this wouldn't be part of America. We would have lost the southern states if the south would have won. Obviously some people don't know their history, and that really bugs the hell outta me.&amp;nbsp; The REBEL FLAG is the losing flag, why would you still fly it high??? fuck that. I was born and raised in the south, but you know what? I have respect for the black people living around me. It offends them cause it practically says, "SLAVERY." I do not support slavery or the rebel fag and yes I do mean fag instead of flag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;That ends my rant.&lt;br&gt;If you don't like my opinion, you can fuck the fuck off.&lt;br&gt;It's my opinion, not yours.&lt;br&gt;Think 4 yourself motha fuckas!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Pardon my french!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"&gt;&lt;h1 style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Bulletin Comments:&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/svshreds" rel="nofollow"&gt;Steven &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nov 25, 2009 7:12 PM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;Obviously you don't know YOU'RE history. The north won because they had more money, not a better army. The rebel flag is southern heritage and does not represent slavery. It represents a time when slavery was around, but not slavery itself. I fly the rebel flag because the south would have (and should have) won if the north didn't have more money. The south was so poor we didn't have money to even have metal canteens like the north did, ours were made of wood, so that kind of gives you an idea of the money difference.So, obviously more money means more and better weapons,not better soldiers and ideas. If your against the rebel flag you are un-American and if you knew anything about politics and history you would have wanted the south to win as well. Quit riding ICPs dicks and think for yourself. Research, learn both sides, and then make a statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me Nov 25, 2009 10:45 PM&lt;br&gt;I have always had this fucking opinion way before I knew of ICP, steven. AND btw, I'm in a history class right now, motha fucka! If they didn't have money... hmm, stop making slaves do shit and get afucking job, bitch!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven Nov 25, 2009 11:20 PM&lt;br&gt;The Civil War wasn't even about slaves. Our jobs were farming, the same way we have machines do it for us today. Slavery isnt even a bad thing, Slaves worked for food,clothes,a place to sleep ETC...So, why were they bitching about having to work. Just the same as black people today, they want everything for nothing. Also, Your history class is all material approved by the government which means its only going to fit to the jewish point of view.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me Nov 25, 2009 11:25 PM&lt;br&gt;That's bull shit. My teacher teaches by his own standards. I never said the Civil War was just about Slavery. I said that it's because it "represents" slavery. BTW, Africans sold other Africans to be slaves to make money. I'm just saying I never fucking liked this "HERITAGE" of the south. The North won for a reason. We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for that win. Think about it. We don't even use our books in history class.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven Nov 25, 2009 11:34 PM&lt;br&gt;Yes, but the teacher is still limited in what he knows. You seem to forget he studied the same books. If you aren't proud of your white heritage, go live in a fucking third world country and see just why we are superior and have succeeded for centuries. It isn't my fault that whites have had the smarts to create the most successful empires in the world and survive many ice ages. Also, you make a good point, Africans sold they're on people to WHITES because the Africans needed money...So lets look at this... Successful WHITE men had the money, Africans were POOR so they sold THEY'RE PEOPLE to the whites to make money. Id say the blacks are in the wrong here for sure. Selling people is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me Nov 26, 2009 12:01 AM&lt;br&gt;And you're only limited to what you know... so what. I gathered my own opinion. I'm ashamed of the white heritage because some how some way - I cannot stand the fact that white's think they're better than other races. I'd rather be Hispanic or African or African American just to see how they have lived and actually have some solid heritage. White's don't have a solid heritage, regardless. My opinion is very strong. You let some band tell you that Whites are supreme. Well, guess what, Steven, we're not. Not all black people/African American/Africans are lazy. You've never met the people that are I guess... Go back to school, Steven. You'll fail in this economy with just a band. You say you're so supreme? So what, you are lazy for dropping out of school. Fuck the stereotypes/racial stereotypes/prejudice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven Nov 26, 2009 1:59 AM&lt;br&gt;1.A band didnt tell me anything 2.I dropped out of that school to attend another school. 3.Statistics from the FBI and other organizations prove that blacks commit more crimes than whites. 4.Whites have much more heritage than any race. I suggest you study your own heritage and history.I am not lazy,I am about to attend one of the hardest schools to get into in the world because of my musical talents. You're right, not all blacks are lazy,but statisticly the majority is. I look at facts and statistics because they dont lie and for you to dishonor your own race and heritage is sickening. Another thing is African-American is bullshit, if these people are so proud of there homelands heritage...The need to go back to they're own land. Im proud of America, because i am an American. Im sad to see another white person feeling guilty because they are taught to feel that way. Maybe one day you will wake-up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Another friend of mine(mark)&lt;/span&gt; Nov 26, 2009 7:54 AM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;blah blah blah i kinda agree with her i was born an raised in georgia but why your silly civil war was goin on my fam from way back was in Ireland gettin they drink on so no white people arent better because i have freckles so im white and brown and i have more talent than all the other lazy ass white people of this country. north or south who gives a fuck. your flag is gay lol my flag is the shit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me Nov 26, 2009 11:45 AM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;Whoop Whoop, Mark. That's what's up! Btw, your heritage, steven isn't American. America is made up of all different countries heritage. So go back to that country, bitch!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kacie&lt;/span&gt; Nov 26, 2009 11:46 PM&lt;br&gt;LOLOLOLOL okay...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven Nov 27, 2009 12:33 AM&lt;br&gt;American = white. Europian-American.Europe, it has many countries inside of itself just as America has states. Also, i plan on moving to Germany anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Now starts the messaging between me &amp;amp; Steven&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;Me Nov 27, 2009 9:42 AM&lt;br&gt;Really, steven...? Really? Your knowledge is ignorant. Realize that and you'll have true knowledge, haha. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance - Confucius. Oh, and guess what? You're, in fact, wrong - America does not = white. America is very different from other countries. We have States, but all the States have to follow rules and regulations. Not one state, is totally different from another. That is for a reason. We are the United (United as key word) States of America. Not the separate states of America. I know I'm not perfect. And I know that I do not know everything. That is why I am in school. Oh, and by the way, Music is not a source of knowledge alone. All your brain knows is music. Don't say that you're right. Cause I know hella people that will prove you wrong. Dustin, for instance. YOU are the one who needs to -how did you say it again?- wake up. Not me. I am learning... you're just ignorant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven 11/27/2009 11:30 AM&lt;br&gt;Do i really need to give you a full on history lesson here? also your an idiot. Music is a form of mathematics, so if all i know is music then im damn good at math. Aside from that. Go on and live your sad life of proving yourself to others to receive temporary praise. Once you grow up and understand the true meaning of life, you might want to change. As for your claims of me only knowing music, thats bullshit. I was done with highschool at age 15,went to college at 16, and now im going to be attending one of the hardest schools to get into. So look into your HISTORY before making accusations. You dont know my past and you never will. Claiming im ignorant because i disagree with you only makes you ignorant. One day you might grow up, until then...Leave me the fuck alone please.&amp;nbsp; Dont bother replying because i wont read it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 6:02 PM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;you're so lame, you deleted me cuz you can't handle the argument. You are the bigot! Fuck off!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:03 PM&lt;br&gt;Handle the argument? i can school you all day on American history,European history and pretty much any political event. I just choose not to argue with you because you curse in your statements to add dramatic effect and prove your point...Meaning you are unsure, or you fail to see the other side before making a statement. As i already said, look at both sides, not what somebody told you. Think for yourself, study on your own, then talk to me. Logical thinking will always help guide you in the right direction. Question everything and you will uncover nothing but the truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;Also, cursing and name calling are actions of someone who is backed into a corner and has no intelligent statements to reply with. keep this in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:09 PM&lt;br&gt;Really? Cause words are words no matter what.&amp;nbsp; Don't be a wuss and delete me.&amp;nbsp; Don't put words in my mouth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:21 PM&lt;br&gt;Hm, now your off topic. Here is a non bias point of view that proves im right...Again, non-bias, meaning it relates to BOTH our statements. please read it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; http://haddox.sydlexia.com/civilwar.php&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:26 PM&lt;br&gt;My opinion will not change.&amp;nbsp; I'll read it.&amp;nbsp; I'm not off topic...simply stating something to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:29 PM&lt;br&gt;Im simply stating facts, not something i made up...I got these statistics and facts from our own government resources...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:30 PM&lt;br&gt;Either way, I still disagree with you.&amp;nbsp; But deleting me? Really?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:33 PM&lt;br&gt;OK you cant really argue with statistics...Thats a set of facts compiled over years of study...Not an opinion. i deleted you because you start drama all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:37 PM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;No, I do not start drama.&lt;br&gt;But actually, statistics are like surveys - they aren't 100 % correct.&amp;nbsp; Think about something... just cause it's on the internet and they're statistics does not mean that they are correct.&amp;nbsp; I posted that bulletin to rant.&amp;nbsp; Did I attack a certain individual? No, I did not.&amp;nbsp; I hate The Flag, not the people.&amp;nbsp; The flag needs to be burned, in my opinion.&amp;nbsp; But that's not the point here.&amp;nbsp; Do not put words in my mouth.&amp;nbsp; Do not believe internet websites.&amp;nbsp; Actually, the government is biased.&amp;nbsp; They may say they're not.&amp;nbsp; But there is always bias.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:40 PM&lt;br&gt;i didnt get my facts off the net thank you very much. and yes, the government is biased... against whites, and we still are lower in those statistics. My point is this, dont take fucking hand-outs,work for something like i do(i do actual physical labor jobs) and be a fucking man and stop taking the easy way out with government help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:46 PM&lt;br&gt;This person http://haddox.sydlexia.com/civilwar.php is not credible. He curses too.&amp;nbsp; Didn't make him sound dramatic.&amp;nbsp; I read it.&amp;nbsp; This source is unreliable.&amp;nbsp; Not bias, but unreliable because where's the facts?&amp;nbsp; It's all opinion!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:50 PM&lt;br&gt;facts. They outnumbered the white plantation owners. Fact:They were in top form to easily overthrough the plantation owners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Me&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 7:51 PM&lt;br&gt;wow, two facts.&amp;nbsp; Impressive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven&amp;nbsp; 11/27/2009 10:56 PM&lt;br&gt;those 2 facts alone prove that if blacks were smart enough or really wanted to be free...they could have done it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://mstigerfrogs.xanga.com/717386548/fuck-your-rebel-flag-my-rant/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>What's your nickname?
