- For those who believe this rubbish, give me a moment of
- your time...
- Canada has stricter gun laws than Australia. Regrettably
- scum from the USA (not americans, just american scum) cross
- the border smuggling in weapons. Our murder rate is many many
- times lower than that of the United States. It is indeed
- sad that in the USA americans have chosen to kill each other.
- I can tell you right now what anyone who has ever been to
- Canada would know. We are a peace loving people. We have our
- share of violent crime. In the United States of America
- over 10 000 people are murdered every year. This is not
- something to be happy about. I am arguing that celebrating
- violence in music is deplorable. For those who have
- the good judgement and are able to listen objectively,
- well done. For the millions of kids who look up to
- Ice-T, a man who raps about shooting police, I fear for
- your future. Where once rap was a protest against
- violence, it is now a celebration of violence. A disease
- like this knows no boundaries.
