Relocate the Marines to one of those dying empty business cities in Japan. Start with Iwate perfecture, there's nothing there but rice fields and farmers 80 years old and up. The Marines can even drop bombs and have artillary practice, no one is there to here it.

I recommend just buying 100% grapefruit and orange juice. Stay away from jucies created in labratories that say 10% or 50% juice, that includes energy drinks. Some energy drinks are good that provide vitamin C and D, but its best to stay 100% natrual. Your body when sick needs natrual fruit juice and organic fruit.

If I had kids, I personally would want them to hear any positive educational message from the President of the United States. It wouldn't matter what color or nationality the President would be. Kids look up to the President of America, I sure did. This is royal ignorance from the schools and parents, if they prohibit there kids from being informed of the times there living in History. Gag me with a spoon ignorance!

Simple solution, kick a student out of school if they bully other students. School is a place for people to learn, and if someone is taking that right from another person, then the bully should be dissmissed.

I don't see how a 10,000 yen Japanese welfare check a month can sustain a homeless mother and her baby. Again, I blame it on the Japanese government, its not supporting its people, and yet it wants them to produce babies. I don't believe the baby died in her womb. She had the baby when it was alive, and prabably choked it to death. Its just common sense, how in the world is a homeless woman going to raise a baby in Japan? You got a 31 year old woman not homeless, leaving her baby in a car to bake because she dosen't want the responsibility, what little chance this homeless baby had. RIP baby......

My 88 year old grandmother told me, Japanese Americans were treated no better then Black Americans, both had to go to the same separated bathroom for colored folks. She said, Japanese weren't allowed to go into white restruants or homes from the front door, they had to go to the back door to get service.
She claimed Japanese had to sit in the back of the bus the same as Chinese, Blacks, and Mexicans. Racism was deep rooted at that time, and minorities started almost equally, accept for blacks because we came out of slavery without compensation.
Blacks basically fought for all the civil rights in America for minorities, of course with help from good whites. What I didn't like about the Japanese Americans, is that most of them vacated America to Hawaii after they were persecution and experienced direct discrimination.
America is all about struggle, and if Japanese Americans want more of the American pie, it's not going to be handed to you on a plate with peaches. You gotta stay in the country and put in some hard work and fighting, not leave to Hawaii or back to Japan because your feelings got hurt. If Japanese Americans haven't been compensated fully, then you gotta protest and put in work to get it.
There are no excuses or complaints for other minorities, blacks run the most powerful country in the world that came out of slavery. So just start putting in some hard work, you'll see the results.

That was just good-ole-American racism when they put those Japanese Americans in those camps. I know that happened because of the shock and pain of war at Pearl Harbor, but it was wrong what America had did. Anyway, America did compensate them for damages.

You don't know me and thats getting off topic. I only tried to convince you to change your views regarding a topic on Rap music, however to no avail. Hey enjoy the tattoos, saggy pants, fake gold chain, and whatever else those ignorant fools preach to you about.
In addition, former gangsters that turn into police or security officers usually make better Cops then those that never grew up in the hood. I personally met some, they're a real positive example for the youth to look up to, because they been there.
As a grown man, I might be able to save a youth that needs a prestigous example, rather then a wanna be street punk. I'd say thats more positive then a grown ld man with tattoos, saggy pants, and a fake silver chain, who has an imagination that thug music is positive. Who do the youth have to look up to these days without parents, I guess grown men into gangster Rap with saggy pants?
I like the positive message that Obama is promoting, go back to school next year everybody! Good luck!

Sinaloa is the coutryside of Mexico, and the women from there make outstanding wifes. Mexico has to step up more troops to get control, 13,500 deaths are just the begining. Major drug lords reside there, I heard of them taking over cities, killing and running out the Cops. This is an honor and noble war for the Mexican government. They should continue to roll out the tanks, and storm the drug compounds. Hope they win!

You can listen to the street ignorant preachers if you want, you don't seem to care about the badness it has contributed to society. Just because Rap didn't effect me and you like the flu, dosen't excuse the majority of thousands of men that are over flooding the prision system. You gotta have a crack pipe to smoke crack, just like you gotta have Rap mixed in with street gangs to create the big BOOM of crime thats still going on!
Bro, I highly doubt you been in the real streets, but you sound like a loyal follower of the "Rap cult preachers". Go ahead and keep your tattoos, saggy pants, and keep pretending to live the imaginary thug life in Japan.
At 30 you haven't dumped that man child rubbish yet? Man grow up! I'm out and moving on to do better things, and won't look back to ignorance. You gotta degree? Thats very good of you, how about doing something positive to help other poor blacks, instead of keeping them down by promoting Rap?
We do need some good Cops in the poor communities, think about it?

When the Rap music got played we all got pumped up to bang and break some heads. A lot of brotha's aquired the violent I don't give a F attitude that Rap music influences on the mind. Many became fearless just like the Rap music taught, and many didn't care if they ended up in jail for committing a crime, only to regret it after a life sentence.
Rappers who preach violence are just agents of the devil misleading people bro, don't even listen to the those dumb punks. Big deal! A few Rappers become rich off exploiting the weak state of the poor. How dose Rap help a majority of people in poverty to be successful when they're all ending up in prision?
Not everyone can become a Rapper anyway, so how dose violence songs make the majority of the followers possibly succeed when it teaches destruction? If you seen the "Thuggin it & Lovein it" video, do you actually think those ignorant fools are gonna be successful? They were high on drugs in the video, criminally shooting guns in the air, and talking total non-sense. Thats the life that Rap promotes and produces, it produces ignorance losers!
People, we gotta free our minds from those false uneducated preachers and agents of Satan... don't buy Rap music, choke those punks out. I like the message Obama is promoting, everyone go back to school! The stimulus package will arrive next college semester 2010 with an extra large grant. I will be there to beneift from it part-time regarding my future plans to start a private security company.
Today, I'm still fighting the effects of Rap music that was instilled in my mind years ago. Sometimes I just snap at people and get that violent I don't give a F attitude! I'm still struggle to combat its deep negative effects. I don't need drugs from a Doctor, I just need positive influences and people who sincerely want to help a brotha. Thats what the youth need, not some uneducated, pathetic, fool on a micro phone.
In addition, a University degree dosen't teach street knowledge, because I know people with degrees still ignorant, on drugs, and in jail. They lack the common sense to stay away from the wrong people. Keep playing with fire, and you might get burnt, and you know who you are.

How about just using your own life experiences to reason on this topic, there's no need to point to expert research, we claimed we lived the hood life right? If anything, the expert researcher would be interviewing people who grew up in the hood to base there facts and reasons. I don't know many cats with degrees from the hood, if even obtaining a GED.
I'm not sure what part of America you grew up in, but bro I'm lucky to have made it to the age I am now, and without a criminal record, OMG! Like I stated before, thousands of blacks from my generation are all locked up, and it was during the most violent peek of Hip-Hop music. You can't see a relationship between violent music and its actual results from it participates? Bro, did you really grow up in the hood, or perhaps your in the 1990s generation.
I was there during the time of "Tookie Williams", and when some of the most vile gangs and Rap music was out. Ever heard of the Crips & Bloods? You claim to have a degree, do you actually think violent and ignorant music has a positive impact on a community? Can you give me four reasons, how talking about hoes, drugs, money, and killing a man benefits young peoples future?
I was a prior gang member, and I don't encourage Rap crap. It produces ignorance, and at least I can go back to the hood, and make a positive statement in my police uniform, but you just promote Rap crap, which has led many astray.

I'm African-American, and I don't have a University degree like you and quuzendesu. I've been teaching English in Japan for over six years unfortunately. Anyway, in October I will vacate Japan and start my new career as a law enforcement officer.
I went back to the states last year and completed a P.O.S.T police course in junior-college, I know my education and study habits are no way up to your level.
There's a new DVD movie out called "Thuggin it & loving it". I never thought that kind of monstrous ignorance existed in the black community. Those guys producing the Rap music are still basing its values on money, drugs, hoes, and violence. It dosen't take a University degree to understand that Rap music is polluting the minds of our youth. I was one of the very few guys to get out of the Rap culture, before it turned me into a thug which so many youths did at my time.
The subject of Rap is more then a musical problem in an isolated hood, its bad influence is world wide now. The culture of those in it, forces other youths to convert to its violent life style. Being black and young in the Hood makes you a target to convert to it, or be beaten up or shot. At least thats how I was done when I was young and growing up.
Positive music gives me a better frame of mind, negative music makes me suicidal, angry, depressed, and violent. No, I don't need a professional expert whose never been in the streets, to tell me how I'm feeling or what I witnessed in the streets. These guys are all filling there minds regularly with this ignorant crap, and the evidence of its danger, is that it did spread like cancer all around America.
Thousands of people from my generation are all locked up, how did I escape it! We need to put Hip-Hop out of business, stop buying there crap. Original black American music was not negative like today's music. And to quuzendesu, excuse me for mistaking you for a white boy. :)

@Biglittleman:
I don't need to present evidence, because I personally witnessed what rap music did in polluting young minds and destroying a community. I seen what Rap music did when it transformed into violence messages, it misguided and produced a young violent generation. Ever heard of that gangster video game called "San Andreas"? I was there during the times of those gangs, and when Rap was at its most violent peek. I agree that violence will always be in a poor community, but look at all the folks locked up in there 30s and 40s from that generation? Maybe you have a different perspective of Hip-Hop because you grew up in the white suburbs. You clearly can't understand its impact on a certain culture, exspecially if you haven't lived it. I was there and seen what negative music does in pumping people up to commit a crimes. Yeah.... why does the US. military play Rock in Roll in the soldiers helmets now during a war? Because the US. military knows that certain music pumps people up to do some cold blooded killing without feeling. Do you know how many people I could kill if I was listening to the group "System of the Down" in a war? Perhaps in the white middle class area, Rock in Roll has an bad influence of drugs and suicide with young middle class whites. I had to drive a few young white boys to the Hospital because of overdosing on drugs and listening to rock in roll. Bad associations spoil useful habits point blank, that includes bad music, gangster friends, drug addicts, and violent video games. This has more of a bad influence on the youth then adults. The British government just banned a violent movie from Japan, because they felt it was distrubing and inappropriate to watch. The more you feed your mind with trash and violence, it begins to distort your thinking. Thats why many of the female killers, rapist, and butt gropers on the trains in Japan, usually have tons of porno videos in there apartment. That stuff distorts your thinking.

@Biglittleman:
Music has a strong mental influence depending on what your listening to. Music thats negative and violent induces violence conduct. Music can really pump you up emotionally or relax you. Violent music can trigger a person to do a cold blooded crime they may not have normally done, if they had not got pumped up. Most Rap music after 1986s related to gangs, drugs, violence, and poverty, all four collaborate. I remember the "Fat Boys" & "Heavy D", thats when Rap was fun and enjoyable. They didn't talk about killing folks, drugs, F the police, and drive by shootings. The point I'm trying to make is that most Rap is trash, and dose nothing positive to build a community. When people buy this music, it just makes a bunch of ignorant wanna be preachers rich. I don't listen to none of them anymore, there stupid, uneducated punks, spreading ignorance.

@elbudamexicano:
When I was young I was caught up in Rap music and the dress style to, but when it turned to sending a bad message, thats when it was time to put an end to Rap music. I was smart enough to know that feeding your mind with violence music, drugs, gang banging, and crime was not positive. Gangs creating a cool beat, with lyrics taking about killing other gang members, saling drugs, and pimping girls I knew were a bunch of losers.
Everyone has a choice that grows up in the hood poor, when you turn 18 either you be a leader or a follower. Sometimes you gotta leave where your from to avoid the trouble. I had a young Mexican friend that was trying to leave the gang, they would stalk him, and knock on his back room window asking him why he wasn't hanging anymore. I was cool with his Mother she was a single mother. I told her to pack up her things and leave the neighborhood for the safety of her son and family, she took my advise and left unoticed. I'm sure they have a better positive future now. It would've been a matter of time the gang would've shot, beat, or stabbed her son for leaving the gang.

@USARonin:
It was premeditated murder. The intent to kill, was that she refused to obey the postings in the parking lot that clearly said, "Do not leave a child in the car alone". She showed further intent to kill by rolling up the car windows tight, knowing that the car would become very hot on a summer day. She knew the child could possibly die without having fresh air coming into the car, would die by over heating. At the age of 31 years old, she was not some 13 year old immature mother. What she did was no different then giving a child a loaded gun to play with, knowing the child could blow out there brains. I hope she rots jail forever!

I personally hate Hip-Hop these days and the artist. When Rap started it was more of just enjoying cool positive dance music, but when the gangsters got it, it turned into total negativity. I wish Americans would stop buying these ignorant punks music. Choke these guys out, don't buy there CDs and contribute to the growth of monstrous ignorance.
