If Hip Hop is glorifying violence you could say MTV is glorifying homosexuality. You may not think homosexuality is wrong but some people do. You can nit pick anything. Making gangster rap records is not a crime.

Amen and it should not be a crime.

If we got rid of Hip hop and gangster rap...Nothing would change.

Cheap comment, based on nothing, offering nothing, dissing an honest and valid insight of a fellow Redskin fan and a much older and more experienced man in a serious discussion after an unbearable tragedy. Nice work. I have a fifteen year old who would love to talk to you. How many friends did you have killed in Nam? or raped children have you had who failed to find justice in court?

How many kids do you have in Iraq? I tell you what. If you don't think my posts are worth responding to, try not responding when I post.

Dear god. Why do all your arguments seem to boil down to being older and wiser than everyone else here? Is that either necessary or relevant?

Well I just had one of my best friends killed in Afghanistan if that counts for anything. But, I think you missed the point of my post entirely. I'd explain but I figured someone older and more experienced wouldn't need any sort of explanation.

Yeah, CrazyHorse, I think SS's comment was direct at me for responding to the political element of your post. Why are you so defensive? Everybody here has their own take and no one is attacking you.

To say that my arguments "boil down" to anything figuratively means that their supposed content evaporates and is worth nothing. That is disrespectful, if you intended to say it. However, you probably didn't. Your statement, in that it implies I've indicated to am older and wiser than anyone else here, is disrespectful of what I actually implied-- that I am more "experienced" than "most" of the people here, which is true.

You appear then to be disrespectful of the truth. Does your last statement mean to ask if my experience matters? If so, yes. Of course, experience matters.

Or, are you asking if "bringing up" my experience is relevant. If so, yes. Of course, it is, if I relate the experience. Otherwise, no. What are you asking in your post?

Wow, this thread now sounds like a presidential debate. Lots of quote marks, mischaracterization, and accusations.

Good thing we weren't discussing, you know, the death of a beloved player, or anything.
