We will not bow down to injustice!
We will not bow down to exploitation!
I'm gon' stand. I'm gon' stand.

Does anyone remember the song Freedom from the soundtrack to the movie Panther from 1995? For a budding 14 year old GIT (Gay-In-Training), Freedom was like my Lemonade.

That is the cutest thing ever. That picture of you raising your fist and the caption. You are a national hero.

Hey! We are all Brothers In Unison! Don't attack me! =(

I *HEART* RACISM! :-D I think I'll go to Badlands and show my support when I come back from the islands, all FOB'd out and shit.

...and that "Freedom" song is the worst song ever. I tend to disregard it as part of the En Vogue catalogue.

[osagej4]

OMG Hater! How can you hate that song? It's so empowering! True, it's not the BEST SONG ever, but just the concept is great.

Are you in the P.I. already?

[fuido]

I leave Wednesday ;)

"2, 4, 6, 8! Gay people should not be hate!!"

haha, was it FOBS against homophobia?

[osagej4]

Hahaha, No... I was just trying to enucleate the absurd chants they were using!

[jgavin]

I *adore* Rejected. That's such an awesome gif!

For a second I thought you actually agreed with all of this anti-Badlands nonsense. I mean, he owns Pendulum. It's so easy to take statements out of context and twist them into something so much bigger.

But, luckily, America has progressed to the point where homosexuals are an established minority with the support of the federal government and religious advocacy groups who seek to advance equal protection and, therefore, we, as a population, can endure infighting led by misguided disenfranchised subgroups still working through their own inferiority issues and hoping for inclusion that belies general societal stratification.

[osagej4]

I agree. I was discussing the issue with one of the protesters and he was like, "Someone heard Natali say that all this will go away soon so he doesn't really care" but I'm like, If he's smart enough to have a successful business, he's smart enough to not say glaringly stupid things like that in public where people who hate him can hear!! It's straight hearsay and only adds fuel to the fire.

Like, yes, he did wrong, he admitted it, he's been punished for it and he's changed his ways. What more do we want?

[incrediblerml]

--"What more do we want?"

The cynic in me would say that they want ... to be white. "The owner of Badlands made inflammatory remarks ... now we trail-mix eating, Subaru wagon driving, Birkenstock wearing, salad eating, Peet's drinking lesbaterians get to be white!"

[osagej4]

Hahaha you are soooo bad! I wouldn't go quite as far as you, but your description is pretty spot on... Trail Mix eating... Birkenstock wearing... eep! Organic Free Trade Coffee Beans Or Die!

I was obsessed with TLC as a youth and my name is listed in T-Boz's TERRIBLE book of poetry that she released a few years ago.

And what that has to do with any of this, I do not know.

[osagej4]

No! I loved TLC to death! I got T-Boz to autograph Thoughts, Vol. 1!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHA.

[toothbytooth]

YES.
Lord. She made Jewels poetry book look like E.E Cummings.

Any way... Look for "Adam Durand" on (I believe) opage 125. I am there!

[osagej4]

I'm on the imported Greatest Hits CD Booklet, where you could write a message too. But it's so tiny that without a magnifying glass, it looks like this: ..,...,.,,,.,..,.,..

Attention Mr. Durand: I've IMed you twice already. Rejected both times. Should I take a hint or continue pestering you?
