Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Go look it up, re-read your comments. People build straw man arguments all the time on the internet. Usually because they can't debate properly without it. Like when you try to win an argument that is impossible to win, such as trying to relate rap music to criminal behaviour.
Now putting words into my mouth.
Rap had nothing to do with him being a criminal nor are the two related. He did glorify it though and that's my point.
You still lose.

You are all pissed off at people who failed you for your sarcastic remark about MJ. Thing is, you said it is "sarcasm" and people don't "get it". We DO get it, you're the one who doesn't.
Because sarcasm is supposed to mock conventional wisdom, or a commonly accepted concept. So TO YOU, the concept that MJ is a pedophile is conventional wisdom, and the truth. That is what your sarcasm is based upon. That is what people called you out for. You think people called you out for sarcastically saying you like listening to a pedophile, but that's not what they are pissed about. Well, the smart ones anyway...
This thread
I'm pissed off? Really? How many times in this thread have I gone around calling people dumb fucks or useless cunts? Seems to me you and several others are the ones who are truly pissed about something.
As to my MJ comment, "conventional wisdom" is that he's a pedohile. He was found innocent, but it's an unfortunate truth that many people still think of MJ as a pedophile that got off instead of an innocent man. They remember the countless news stories and rumors that plastered headlines for months and forget the actual outcome of the case (just like the media did).
Of course, MJ is "odd" or "eccentric". That coupled with the fact he's loaded makes him an ideal target for a trumped up case where people hope to cash in on an accusation and expect MJ (or other celebrity) to settle instead of fight. MJ's odd behavior makes it all the easier for people to continue to believe he's a pedophile.
Regardless, that's not the issue. The issue is the effect it had on him and his career, which tanked when the accusations hit the news. When he was found innocent he (and his career) never really recovered.
Mel Gibson and Michael Richards are two other examples of people whose careers took a severe hit for making racist or anti-semetic comments.
Now compare this to rap artists. They can be linked to drugs, gangs, murders & shootings and what does it do for their career? It takes off, they make more money, sell more albums and get an even bigger following.
It's a sad reflection of our society when a rapper can be linked to the most vile groups of people and it benefits them while someone like MJ is accused of something terrible, is found innocent, but still suffers a horrible loss in terms of what it did to his career. This goes back to my comment in this thread (and in other gang related threads on RS) that gang members are "glorified" and "respected" by a lot of people when they are, in actual fact, the worst filth humanity has to offer.
Rap had nothing to do with him being a criminal nor are the two related. He did glorify it though and that's my point.

Don't blame biggie you ignorant fuck, he's just telling his lifes story. Instead blame the white record executive who signed biggie to his label and saw nothing but dollar signs as he was signing the contract.
That being said, I am very thankful for the existance of biggies music.

No, you tried to make a straw man argument, and were correctly called out for it.
Calling someone out for a straw man argument while yourself using ad hominem. Priceless.
Oh, and I see you, too slow and Manic! have completely ignored the fact I called you out on an attempt to bring a completely unrelated issue (Apple) into a discussion not involving Apple. I guess we can all expect you to keep silent on that one.

Nobody "brought up" Apple except you. All I said was that until this thread, I didn't think you were an idiot, just a clueless apple fanboy who makes dumb apple comments like 10 million other people. I didn't think anything of it, and I had no opinion of you at all. That was until I saw your posts here...

I wonder if you'd honestly die for anything. You have no idea what that even means, sit down please.

i'm surprised this didn't wind up in FC a couple of pages ago
If it does then that would say something about RS... that it sucks balls.
If a thread goes to FB because people are having a discussion then..that's a bad forum.
Luckily, just because someone doesn't like a fat gang banger, that doesn't mean the thread needs to go to FB, it means people have a different opinion.

Yeah, no need to take this thread to facebook guise.
Well you seem to know a lot don't you. In all honesty, share some more of your wisdom with us oh wise one.
Okay. Let's compare.
I: Live in chicago, see the faggotry that is the life style that biggie glorified and you bob your head to.
You: Think it's all good and fine and just innocent and don't know any better.
I live here amongst this shit, right in the fucking center of it and it's total shit. You are safe in Canada. Sit down, thanks.
I'd love to see what your opinion would be when you have to pull your kid out of school because some fat faggot thought it was thug-life funny and "just survival, doing what he has to do" when they beat your kid an inch away from death for being "white boi" or "punk bitch" or "some nigga".
Sit. Down.

if this happened to your kid, then IMO, its your own fucking fault. make more money and move the fuck up out of the ghetto.
if this is hypothetical, you're just another idiot bible thumper.. there isnt a thing that can save you now.
and oh, 5 years back i was that kid. 2 long days in the hospital and 1 month recuperation at home. doctor told me i was lucky that i didnt end up with serious brain damage.
maybe, just maybe this thread can be saved with a clear explanation of who really shot and killed Biggie and even Tupac...
this guy was a lead detective on Biggie's case, and rage quit after they suspended the investigation when he basically solved it
I know it's hard to believe because it hasn't been picked up by main stream media, it's just one of those things only people with inside knowledge will know about, and with this guy publishing this for once we the public get inside knowledge of what THEY really know...
it's a long 5 page read, but it's a breath of fresh fucking air after reading soooo many conspiracy theories all these motherfuckin years, really REALLY frustrating just seeing so much bullshit being theorized, it's real nice to finally get some closure

Enlighten me. According to Kading, this Anderson fella killed Pac while he was in the car with Suge? Why? Was he aiming for Suge but missed completely? Why would Suge retaliate at Biggie?
I always knew Suge had something to do with it.. Posted via RS Mobile
