903: What's Yours is Mine

[slackdaddy]

I have enjoyed the discussion of Coldplay vs. Satriani. Has anyone on here mentioned this issue with the same song, "Viva La Vida" ripping off this song by a band called Creaky Boards:

YouTube - creaky boards + coldplay + itunes fiasco
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?!

ehh i dont really know what i am talking about...

But im German ....BUT NOT A NAZIS.

Nazi's were forced to be that way? They had no choice?

My grandmother was born in Germany and moved to Holland to marry my grandfather. When the war started, the Nazi's tried to get everyone to "sign on the line" and become loyal nazi's themselves. My grandmother did NOT, she made that choice .. though whether it was a matter of descency or an act of being stubborn, who knows at this point??? Life became tough as a result, but she had a choice and made the right one.

It was simply the "norm". Propaganda is not a new tactic invented by the Bush administration, they weren't smart enough to come up with it on there own.

Oh, btw, your pope was a member of the Nazi Youth. Signing up was considered a "patriotic" duty.

*LOL* I wasn't alive either - just descended from stubborn people.

As for the Nazi's - people blindly following authority figures - is sadly nothing new, we do it all the time.

IF you had black people there'd be no problems with them?

IF.

Very good point.

Does "IF" also include "IF we captured and enslave them and then systematically placed restrictions on the law books that made it hard for them to co exist with us until the last 50 years or so"?

Sour grapes. So sad.
