It amazes me, there are brokeass poor Republicans out there protesting, so the same big business that keeps the screws on them and keeps them down... they're protesting so they can KEEP doing that. Just blows my mind.

There is a great book about that very phenomenon:

I have a sign to the side of my front door that says "No soliciting." Yet I still get knocks on the door. I've opened and asked the guy (at the time) what the sign says. I had one guy say "I'm not soliciting anything, I'm just here to tell you about...." The other was a Mormon missionary who answered "I'm here to tell you about the message of Jesus Christ." To which I replied "Yes, you are trying to sell me on that message, which is soliciting!"

Some of these guys got some nerve...I'm not as nice about it as I used to be.

True, but saying no to homes for the disadvantaged, is like robbing someone at gunpoint in politics.

There are issues you never go up against, even if you are the majority in the Congress. The poor, the young, the minorities, and the education system. Never ever fight any bill in those categories, because the shit storm that will rain down on you will be epic.

Yes, but for them to retroactively claim they were against it, while they had total control of the House is disingenuous at best.

If Axl played even only one conert, he would negate all he had done for the last 15 years with Guns N' Roses. People would say "if that (classic reunion) is Guns N' Roses, what's that(actual Guns N' Roses)?

I'm glad it didn't happened.

I kind of agree. I'd rather see one or the other. Not Axl touring with the new band (or latest revolving door) and then reunite with the original. I can accept this as the new band (begrudgingly at this point) but can't accept two GnR's, that seems ridiculous. The whole thing is a shame really. After years of supporting the new incarnation, I have swayed back to the old band. I see potential lost and it's a shame.

The irony is, once again, like I said about the Senate, they were the exact people in the mid-2000's screaming about "we need to get people into homes, RIGHT NOW, NO QUESTIONS, WE HAVE TO DO THIS"... so they rushed it. What did they get? Massive foreclosures which destroyed the economy, and we still haven't recovered.

And by the way - Democrats were pushing that one, with Barney Frank leading the brigade.

The minority party was unable to "push" anything at that time. Bush was president and had a GOP Congress. If they didn't like something all they had to do was say no to it.

#2756 Re: Guns N' Roses » Damien Echols from the West Memphis Three Interview » 791 weeks ago

This story is outrageous, totally inexcusable. However I've seen multiple stories like this in my lifetime. These fucking prosecutors and judges simply won't come back and admit they were wrong. In this case, the same judge won't allow a new trial. I couldn't imagine having an ego so big, that it kept three innocent people in jail, one of which faced the death penalty.

Crazy stuff, i never knew about this story. Or at the very least don't remember it.

I usually skip it 90% of the time. Robin's guitar work on it's fantastic though.
