  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Hmm........ :mmh:

Is it just me or is Hilary the only one running attack campaigns?

I mean don't get me wrong, I know both are worst case scenarios but I have only seen Hilary campaign ads attacking Trump.

Normally at this time I see attacks from both sides but I can't think of a Trump attack on Hilary ad....... maybe I just haven't watched enough TV or the right stations?

(Just saw a Hilary ad attacking Trump which made me think about it.)

I just had the most incredible mental image of Hilary literally attacking Trump. Like both dressed as little lions circling around eachother on all fours and suddenly she lunges at his throat in a slow motion Lion King-esque scene.

My mind is a strange place.

Praying for you bro. I hope its just something simple like inner ear infection or something that will go away soon.

I hope so too. Thank you for your prayer.

Sounds like Hillary is getting desperate. They're polls are already on a razor-thin margin and the election is around two months away so now it's time to crank up the heat.

I agree but normally I see attacks on both sides and so far all I have seen are attacks from Hilary. Its odd to only see one side attacking. I mean if it weren't Trump the lack of attacks from one side would be refreshing..... of course it IS trump so I cant really root for either of them to win.

It's like that episode of South Park where they have to vote for either a giant douche or a turd sandwich. Except instead of a school mascot, it's the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

Plus I have never seen an election as heated as this before. Sure, during the 2012 elections there was paranoia, controversy and drama with Obama and Romney but this time... Man oh man... I've had a big admiration for the United States since my high school years and everything but right now I'm glad I don't live there. It looks like the American culture war is at a boiling point.

I try to have faith and keep my focus positive, but sometimes I need a boost. I try not to feel hopeless, but sometimes life circumstances make that hard.

When will I finally move on to something better? I'm ready for everything to change. I want God to answer my prayers and I don't always understand the reason for having to wait so long. I hope I'm not praying for something that will never be. Maybe God will help me and show me what His plans are. :sigh:

Everyone has their own opinions of what type of music they like.

I personally hate rap AND the Beatles. I also do not hate rap because of the reasons you gave.

I dislike rap because I don't see it as taking any musical talent. Yes, some forms of rap takes rhyming skills, but okay.... so what. I guess that makes Dr. Suess an "OG". IMO rap has done about as many favors to music as auto tune.

I don't see a "music" genre that got its starts by talking over beat tracks or by stealing (with permission because of money) someone elses song and talking over it as skill or music.

You may wanna be wary about calling people ignorant because they do not agree with your "musical" tastes. Especially when that genre you lean to tends to lead people to wear their pants around their ankles (generally speaking), thinking being "gangsta" is a good thing (generally speaking) and thinking that speaking in lazy English is an acceptable form of communication. "Ya hurd dat?" I mean those living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones is all I am saying.

If you like rap, then like rap, but don't get high and mighty or speak as if you are more enlightened..... especially when the genre you claim "gets the wrong end of the deal" is the current and has been the "popular" genre for decades....... you wanna know why people look at rap in such a light. Look who MOST rap lovers glorify. 2Pac, BIG, NWA etc etc..... I mean most people think hard rock and metal is about biting heads off bats.... (thank you Ozzy) but I don't blame the misconception when people of the genre practically worship Ozzy.

I like hard rock and metal........ but I don't claim people ignorant or unenlightened because they dont care to join me in a mosh pit. Its the insults and the insistance of "You must agree with me!" that causes the problems, not our individual tastes.

Buckle up your seatbelts and hang on tight dudes and dudettes! HotRhymez is about to drop some knowledge!

*sigh* Freestyling takes a ton of talent. Seriously..right now..I want you to freestyle for 5 minutes constantly with no breaks if it has no talent. I can't even do it well and I've practiced for years. Where's your rap album?! :p And a lot of successful music artists use auto tune..probably some of your favs too..

I don't see a "music" genre that got its starts by talking over beat tracks or by stealing (with permission because of money) someone elses song and talking over it as skill or music.

I think that's called sampling (though someone can correct me) and its not just talking..just like NASCAR is not just "driving in circles" its a LOT more than that..you have to stay on beat, and it has to flow well, etc.

You may wanna be wary about calling people ignorant because they do not agree with your "musical" tastes. Especially when that genre you lean to tends to lead people to wear their pants around their ankles (generally speaking), thinking being "gangsta" is a good thing (generally speaking) and thinking that speaking in lazy English is an acceptable form of communication. "Ya hurd dat?" I mean those living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones is all I am saying.

I've seen a lot of rappers that dont do any of that. Some rappers such as Kanye West and 2 Chainz have even graduated college. Google that stuff.

If you like rap, then like rap, but don't get high and mighty or speak as if you are more enlightened..... especially when the genre you claim "gets the wrong end of the deal" is the current and has been the "popular" genre for decades....... you wanna know why people look at rap in such a light.

(thank you Ozzy) but I don't blame the misconception when people of the genre practically worship Ozzy.

Not all rap is 2Pac, BIG and NWA though! That's my point!! Holy crap!! Ok go to Youtube and listen to I Can by Nas..I found it positive..and I dont think theres a single swear..and what about all the Christian rappers?

I dont think hard rock and metal is about biting heads off of bats..i dont make blanket statements about music genres cause that's just wack. I think too many people write off rap when theres actually some intelligent people that make hip hop.

I like hard rock and metal........ but I don't claim people ignorant or unenlightened because they dont care to join me in a mosh pit. Its the insults and the insistance of "You must agree with me!" that causes the problems, not our individual tastes.

Well I guess I dont care if people dont like rap..i just dont like it when people say stupid things about music in general. I see a lot of it on Facebook, Reddit and sometimes on here. It really baffles me. I don't think all rock is Marilyn Manson....so not all rap is Soulja Boy....does that make sense?

I regret making my last post now actually. I dont want this to turn into "rap sucks" "nuh uh no it doesnt homeslice" argument lol. But I guess discussion is cool. HIP HOP HOORAY!
