CoronitaParticipant[quote=afx114]Ice Cube > Ice-T[/quote]
No way. OG…Original Gangsta.
Ice-T is a pretty amazing dude if you think about his entire career. He started out as a hard core gangster rapper…Notorious for that song……Cop….Killer….And all the way to an actor, playing out of all things a cop on Law and Order. That’s what I call full circle…
Anyone remember Vanilla Ice?..Yeah I know. He wasn’t what he said he was.
The sad part was when I was talking to my cousin just going to college recently. I asked them what music they listen to…There’s all this hip-hop crap now..And when I mention about Ice-T/Run DMC/etc, I get this blank stare and “man, that’s totally old school”…Then it hits me…Shit, I’m old…Time to get a nice sports car and go through mid-life crisis a few years earlier.

Many people feel that this “Hispanification of the American West and, California in particular” isn’t unstoppable, nor is it something that needs to be embraced. While a variety of cultures might be embraced, when one particular culture overwhelms a country over a short period of time, problems are bound to occur. If that new “majority” culture encourages behavior that is deemed to be agressive or threatening toward the existing culture, you’re going to get a culture war. That is the only thing that is guaranteed here.
Illegal immigration is **illegal** for some very good reasons. We cannot have unchecked immigration from poor countries where a disproportionate number of these immigrants engage in violent/criminal activity. We cannot have unchecked immigration if the existing taxpayers are expected to pay for the immigrants’ (and their childrens’) educations, housing, physical and social infrastructure, food, legal expenses (including prison expenses), etc. There is a limit to what we can afford to give to everyone from outside of our own country (some would argue we can’t even take of our own citizens).[/quote]
Bingo. Well said CA.

svelteParticipantSymbolism, whether it be a flag or a cross or a wedding ring, is such a ridiculous thing to spend any time and effort on in the first place.
I put so much more weight on what people actually do (how they treat their fellow man and, even more telling, animals). Worrying about symbols is such a waste of effort.
Nobody has demonstrated that more clearly than Ferrari:
