Such deep meanings. Racism in america, violence, gun control and etc.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY</a>
ya it's good.
biggest thing for me is the "profitability of violence" in the US, that music video touches on that throughout.
I mean I grew up in it.. some of the music/movies I post are violent as fu*k. My life could be very different if I had grown up with bad/neglectful parenting, grew up in a worse area, etc. It's just too easy for people (young boys/men especially) in this country to become consumed by violence. This country is basically training it in to people. I speak mostly of "this country" (USA) because I grew up in it, you can't escape it.
On the idea of parenting. I did a small experiment with my 2nd dog (James, the beefy silky). I didn't hit him at all, ie for when he did something bad like poop on the floor etc. My mom & I gave Gizmo (the thin/smaller silky) little spanks for stuff like that - so we hit him. Gizmo snaps on other dogs. I had to stop bringing him to the park because he doesn't back down, if a dog messes with him he'll fight hard. Gizmo flinches when you raise your hand on him sometimes. James is a big wimp, happy af, cuddly, submissive if some other dog messes with him. If you hit him now for something he did wrong, he wags his tail, he doesn't even understand it. He doesn't even know it's some form of punishment - i've actually done it a few times to see what he'd do and he has no clue what i'm doing, thinks it's a playful hit. He doesn't flinch when you raise your hand. He does however, snap at Gizmo sometimes because, Gizmo actually taught him how to be violent. Gizmo attacked him many times when he was a young pup. So, my experiment failed somewhat because the dog I spanked (unknowingly a problem to me initially), eventually taught the dog I tried to keep away from violence - how to be violent.
So I guess what i'm trying to say is, even with good parents, American society itself can be a very bad parent/influence. With bad parents, one can find themselves in a world of trouble, and have absolutely no idea about the "forces infecting them".
peace!
lol scale is messed up
