Jadakiss' song. is it 1st amendment rights? or slander...
Can someone point out what he said thats so scandalous? I can't decipher the lyrcs, but I got the "Why did Bush make the towers fall" bit, which is no worse than whats been going around for years now.

I assume he's reffering to Halle Barry's Oscar for Monster's Ball, in which case, it may or may not be true (its Hollywood guys, don't act so shocked), but I do agree that her performance was not good enough to warrant an Oscar, even though I believe that the Oscars do not generally reward the best performance, only the most popular/artsy/expected-to-win one. The Matrix (the original) didn't win squat. Fight Club, American History X, Requiem for a Dream, [insert great movie here]. Most mainstream awards crap..

I also believe that libel laws are mostly bull****. If I come out and write something negative about, lets say, George Soros, even if its factually correct, I could be sued for libel. I'm willing to live with a certain amount of unsubstantiated slander in order to safeguard freedom of speech. Read up on the McLibel trial for an example of this.

Whats worse? Saying that Halle Barry is a slut, or starting a war based on lies, that eventually gets over 15,000 civilians killed (tens of thousands of combatants also) and occupies a sovereign nationn? I'm only using this as an example. Poeple made a bigger fuss of Janet's breast than they did about any of the illigal and immoral actions by the Bush administration. We've got some ****ed up priorities, eh?

They should do a "Morality Alert" like the terror alert thing.

Blue -  Everything is under control. Proper Christian values are being observed.
Green - A few bad apples here and there, but the FCC is dealing with those radicals.
Yellow - The liberal media is indoctrinating our kids, teaching them promiscuity and violence.
Orange - Howard Stern is on the loose. Kids are getting upity. South Park is on every Tuesday.
Red - All hell has broken loose. Marylin Manson is probably holding a concert somewhere.
Hot Pink - Reserved for Pride Day and Armageddon. Battlestations! Get out your Bibles and chastity belts, this means war!

also, notice my cultured use of the word "breast". Not titties, hooters, boobs or gazongas. Very proper like. Now all I need is a monacle and a top-hat, and I'll be a proper gentleman :p :p

edit2: good idea man.

You know what makes me laugh in a situation like this, if people just ignored it, the song would disappear off the airwaves pretty quick, by kicking up a stink, they make more people notice it.

Sounds like a **** song to be honest anyway.

Owned.


Anyway: The Halle Berry thing is slander (unless she did), but the Bush thing is satire, so it's okay.

no. I'd say either both are or neither, I'm inclined to lean tward neither. if the guy can't back up what he's saying then he's just an imbicile.

Rictor I'm going to put up posters around the town where you live with your picture on and a sign saying that you're a pedophile.

Lets see how long you keep defending my right to say anything I want after that happens.

"Reads lyrics". Don't know that dude, but that's rap, right?
Well that's the usual "everybody hates me" crap.
Should I feel proud or ashamed that I had no problem reading that, btw? :nervous:

Judging from what I read, the guy that wrote those lyrics doesn't have English as a first language either.

There were people who tried to say questioning the "elected" leader of state and the system was a crime as well... they came in two flavours, red, or red with black bits and a yummy jackboot middle.
