Ooooh, look at this a 10 day gap from the last post! So much for my pledge to get back to doing this more often.

And in other news....

Gangster Rap music is the blame for gun crime. Well so they would lead you believe, I saw a whole front page devoted to this bold statement. Do I agree...? Well firstly Rap, in my opinion, is not a music more a style of lyrics, so the argument is wrong for one. Secondly I have heard all this before back when it was first heard, 1990 I do believe was when N.W.A. came out with the Straight outta Compton shocker! now 13 years later we start to now follow it, are we really that behind? I think not. And thirdly you don't spell it 'Gangster', it's Gangsta! .... you fools. I do believe the music has made the way we see guns change, a small minority probably do live in some fantasy world where they beleive it's all the thing to live and die by the gun. But that's a small percentage from tens of millions, surely if the majority of the population was that weak minded it would be a funny old world....... One day in Gotham city a man claiming to be 'Spock' tried to break in to Jurrasic park and steal the collection of Unicorn eggs..... Nah i think not. Then again by the same measure an easily led population might believe it's a good idea to invade and go to war against a small middle eastern country if they heard it being shouted and written everywhere, sound familiar?
