Ha!! I thought about that for a second too!! Man that's a tuff song by the way. The way he sung that too, you could tell it was from the heart. By the way, Zach quoting Malcolm was a paraphrase, I don't think that's exactly how X worded it, but unless I'm mistaken, Zach got the quote from one of Malcolms speaches. Here's another X quote I found while researching the original quote.
“Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.”- Malcom X
There's a Chuck-D line I've always like too, and I can't remember what track it was on, and I'm afraid to find it as I'm thoroughly enjoying this Queens/Stone Age, and don't want to mess up the mood, but it went like this, "When I get mad, I put it on a pen and a pad, give ya something that ya neva had!"

yea i like chuck. a lot of people think flavorflav is a joke (and yea he probably is), but what they dont realize is he put out some of the best material on those early pe tracks. makes me laugh now that i'm older and i look back on that music. i loved the beats and skill, but i never had a clue how political the music actually was, until later in life. i was ahead of my time generationally, exposed to all that, hardcore porn etc etc all at like age 10. i guess that's normal now. i went to a movie with a family member last year (was an R movie, but was a comedy)...scenes in the movie had almost full on porn, non stop vulgar etc. these little kids in the theatre probably 10-11...are screaming laughing and carrying on.....at the most explicit possible scenes...(stuff that you wouldn't expect in a movie only rated R)...really opened my eyes on how times have changed.

Classic scene, although I've never seen that film. Is it worth actually watching the entire thing?

Dude, you were looking at porn at age 10? Sheesh LOL. A couple years back I went to see some flick, I can't remember what it was for the life of me, but there was a Nazi attendant working at that theater, and he took his job seriously. He would hunt down underage teenagers attempting to see rated R flicks. I was in line, and this old dude was going in and out of various rooms, and there were young teenagers running out of one, and he'd run into the next one, it was hilarious. I joked with him like, "Are ya on the case, Sarge?" He replied, "Did ya see them? No? I'll get em!" One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Haven't seen it either...only some parts of it when I was a kid but it was boring back then. Just wanted to watch Knight Rider and Airwolf. Probably should watch it...maybe Netflix has it. If they don't I'll be angry.

he was really earning his salary i guess.
you know what's really funny man? the guy that got me into watching porn at 10 i have a 99.999% is actually a poster on these boards. i tried to talk to him once, but i didnt want to identify myself, so i think i just freaked him out. i will eventually talk to him, im 99% sure it's him.
he will be pissed to because he'll act like i'm putting it on his shoulders(if he reads this). i know this because we met in 2005 (while i was temporarily faded), and we went to a bar together. i could tell he was mad because he was taking what i was saying, like i was putting the blame on him. i hadnt seem him since we were 12.
when we talked he brought up the jw thing. and to my absolute astonishment, he told me he started STUDYING....then he went and took religious courses at some college, to try and get a broader view. (he had remembered the jw thing because when we were 11 ofcourse my parents went to meetings, but i knew him from school , last guy i would expect to start studying. he was the quintessential rebel, atleast at that age).
totally blew my mind about him telling me he started studying. he told me they went pretty far in the study, and somehow he went to bethel to visit, and he said because of how decadent it was, it was one of the main things that turned him off, then he stopped the study sometime after that.
