go ahead and use the letters, i'd be honored
and that's awesome 'bout the clash...
i never stop wishing that i could be alive in those days
when Joe Strummer was doing his movie thing they shot Mystery Train about 5 minutes from my house, but I was only a year old at the time... I suppose that's the closest I'll ever get to him... le sigh

dude,
u made my day with the favorite on my "Beyond the Instrument"...
(if u like Kubrick, the 1x4x9 on there
is a tribute to 2001 Space Odyssey..the monolith's dimensions is what the 3 numbers are).

Thanx for the use of the "Assalamu Alalikum" letters...
I still have some
Arabic fonts in photoshop that I've been wanting to use,
so now I finally know what some letters stand for.

Don't be too bummed about missing the 70s-80s
punk/wave days; people always make it sound
a lot better than it really was, cause the
new music/ideas were and still are always too cool for
the masses at the time@_@

hey, ur gun & Olive branch artwork is cool... I'm still dedicated to
makin' more political-radical art,
only I'm tryin' to write an animated
piece, but writing ain't my main thing so it's really hard...
I used to work as an animator,
so I'll animate the story if I can ever write it.

that Gun/Olive branch also reminds me of the mideast stuff...I'm Jewish, and I'm into leftist/progressive work to stop the hate-wars over
there, but it's damn depressing stuff cause everyone
tries to polarise us into "groups"
that the politicians just manipulate

Seems like ur right about needin' a gun with the olive branch in most
cases. I want to combine Arabic, English, Chinese & Hebrew & a few other fonts/alphabets in some political art so as to point toward
a kind of ONE world thing...
so what does your sig mean:
"Assalamu Alalikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh"??

Is it Malcom X or some other dude from back then?

"Assalamu Alalikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh" is Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam in specific, but just Islam in general. It's an Islamic greeting that means "May the peace, the mercy, and the blessings of Allah be upon you."

No, although I could be... I believe in an Abrahamic God... most of the time... but I like to remain Agnostic and keep my mind open to all religions, which I find fascinating. I find that if I label myself one thing, I am a bit more boxed in. Although as of the moment I identify closer with Islam than anything else.

Well, if you noticed his first announcement of quitting was on the deviation and when I woke up this morning, I had an AIM message from Andy saying, "I like that piece that you did, I can't speak for certain other people though" So I assumed that something about the deviation didn't sit right with him... which I hope isn't true... I don't think I could bear the guilt of making a fellow freedom fighter feel alienated.

...From the morally, mentally, ethically, and in all other ways superior eighteen year old. If I tend to preach, it's because of my passion for politics, religion, ethics, et cetera, not because I think I know it all. I know very well that I don't know it all. I know it because I'm continually taking in more and more. I enjoy the learning process more than the 'preaching' process. Perhaps you should take an interest in the former, you might find it liberating.

You know there's something seriously wrong with the world when a man working for a major network can be fired for interrupting a frivolous (well-written, but still purely intended as entertainment) television program to make a report on the death of an important world leader.

Christianity is beliveing in Jesus Christ as our savour.The bible says to go to church and worship him.Christianity isn't being shuved down your throat.No one is making you do anything,but then again you are shuving your political views down my throat? Anglo-Christians founded this country as its moral base.That will never change.The only ones that are useing religion as a political base is that of the left.They are the ones making it the issue.As you are.Just becasue Bush is christian it shows he use's religion as political gain? A Christian is a republican because they are agienst gay rights,gay marriage,abortion,and many other things.If you say if you disagree with abortion how can you be for the war on terror?Well a baby has no say in if it is going to die or live.It feels pain [link] terrorist already made it there choice to kill thousand of innocent people. Christians also have missionarys over in Iraq,china,and so forth. There are stories of Muslims burning down a Christian church and killing the ones inside. Christianity is about oneself experince with Christ.,but Church is about rejoicing to God.It is also to worship him together.

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination." Lev. 18:22
-
"For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness,: full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Rom. 1:23-32

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." I Cor. 6:9-I0

Jesus gave clear instructions how and where to pray. He said. "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you they have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door pray to the Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Yeah, I don't know the exact text but the Bible also says that we should not wear cotton with wool and that midgets should not be allowed in the church. More than that, if it is against nature to be homosexual, then could you explain the fact that there are homosexual animals? And more than that, it is forcing religion onto people to base laws off of it, which is essentially what is happening.

How about this one for all of you Republicans out there: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24)

Then you must consider the texts altered and deleted by the Catholic church. And then there's the fact that the Old Testiment is far far different from the New Testiment. Instead of the wrath of God, it is about God's undying love for all humans.

If the Republicans are governing me or anyone else (by the way, government of one man by another is slavery) by their religions beliefs, which they are welcome to, then they are shoving religion and Christianity down our throats. I don't shove my political views on anyone; shoving is forcing you to conform to my laws, which I clearly stated in the initial comment. I just preach it, you make your own choice.

Who founded this country? Guerilla warriors. Revolutionaries. Thomas Jefferson? Ever read the Jeffersonian Bible? I bet not. And even if our founders founded this country on a strict basis, then why should we stick to that? They also founded it on the backs of black slaves, but should we still have slavery? It is a fool who refuses to see the need for change. This country was founded not on religion, but on freedom, and that is what you would take from us.

You so willingly offer justification for my allegations, yet you fail to realize it. You take something like homosexuality and say that it's not natural in God's world, so nobody can be gay, but then at the same time, you say that you're not shoving religion towards anyone. How about the gay people? You certainly are shoving it on them. What they do doesn't affect you, so why do you give a fuck? huh?

On abortion: first of all, you don't know where I stand on abortion, so don't assume I am pro-choice. Second of all, why stop there? Why not make condoms, the pill, and masturbation illegal? Hell, those sperm have the potential to be babies! You know what, if something can't survive on it's own, it's not alive.

More than that, how do you fucking account for the tens of thousands of "collateral damage" civilians in Afghanistan? Huh!? Did they get to choose? Did they?

And I'm sure there are Muslims who have pointlessly killed Christians. Do you even fucking know who Timmothy McVeigh was? Why he bombed the OKC Building? He was a fucking Christian fundamentalist. 168 people he killed. How about Eric Robert Rudolph? The guy who bombed the 1996 Olympics, a few abortion clinics, and a gay bar. Indiscriminate murder. You know, he was a big fan of Rush Limbaugh... Then there's the al-Aqsa mosque burning, et cetera. Just like most Christians aren't terrorists, most Muslims aren't terrorits. You're so fucking blind.

You're 18. You love Bush. You believe in these illegal war. You call yourself a soldier for him. Join the Army. Join the infantry division. Go to fight in a war of your choosing, Iraq or Afghanistan. Go on the front lines. Take one in the brain.

I'm anti-Christian but pro-Jesus. I believe in God, I believe in the word of Jesus. What I don't believe in is organized religion - God should be an individual, personal, bond with God. Instead, we in the West make these Holy images and cults of personality surrounding them. We have "faith" instead of spirituality. I don't believe in manipulating the good prophets to suit political causes. Christians have been doing that since the very beginning - the gnostic gospels. Also, I don't believe in trying to force religion on anyone, as the Christian Church seems to. It's ok to preach it and invite people to believe, but that's not what they do. Instead, they say, "Believe this or go to a life of eternal damnation in Hell." That's not right. God is not a judgmental being. He is very forgiving. You do not have to belong to any church to be accepted by God. Saying that you do is, indeed, elitism.

Just so you know, I am very middle class. Republicans aren't for me. Liberals are for the poor. Republicans are for the rich. The middle class is relatively in-between. That's reflected in voting demographics. It is stupid to say that liberals are for the rich, whom they would tax. Republicans roll back the tax cuts.

You keep saying that it's nothing you haven't heard before, that doesn't make it wrong. Also, if it is, why would you keep the conversation going? And you think what you say is new to me? And let's talk about this "hate" I have for the president. I never expressed contempt for the president in our conversation, rather his policies. Indeed, didn't I say that if he had good policies, I would support him? All I care about is policy, not politics. Of course, I have a certain level of contempt for Bush's political policies. As for hate, are you not the one calling me unintelligent, elitist, et cetera and making unfounded and unsubstantiated accusations against the left? Is that not perpetuating hate?

I have yet to see proof that you have read a single word that I have written. Maybe you are incapable of reading. At least comprehending, at any measure.

If you have nothing new to say in reply yet again, then just don't reply, you waste my time.
