If you really want to get back on his good side, you'll need to talk dirty to him over PM or somesuch. Also, never defend me, as I am on the permanent list, partially because I have refused to talk dirty with him.

 

But, being on that list is really not so bad, you just have to ignore the garbage he flings at you. tongue.gif

Is it still dirty if I pretend like I'm a guy and he is my gay lover?

Where is the love?

 

What's wrong with the world, mama

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas

I think the whole world addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin'

In the USA, the big CIA

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Badness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how a n**** works and operates

N**, you gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

 

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love (Love)

 

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love

The love, the love

 

It just ain't the same, always unchanged

New days are strange, is the world insane

If love and peace is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations droppin' bombs

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones

With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young

So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong

In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'

in

Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends

Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother

A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love

Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the love, y'all

 

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love (Love)

 

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love

The love, the love

 

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder

Most of us only care about money makin'

Selfishness got us followin' our own direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity

Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down

There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under

Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound

 

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love (Love)

 

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

 

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Love? This is poetry:

 

How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? That idea is

strange to us.

If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water,

how can you buy them?

 

Every part of this earth is sacred to my people.

Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark

woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and

experience of my people.

The sap which courses through the trees carries the memory of the red man.

 

The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go to

walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful earth, for it

is the mother of the red man.

We are part of the earth and it is part of us.

 

The perfumed flowers are our sisters, the deer, the horse, the great

eagle, these are our brothers.

The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony,

and man - all belong to the same family.

 

So, when the Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to

buy our land, he asks much of us. The Great Chief sends word he will

reserve us a place so that we can live comfortably to ourselves.

He will be our father and we will be his children. So we will consider

your offer to buy our land.

But it will not be easy. For this land is sacred to us.

 

This shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water

but the blood of our ancestors.

 

If we sell you land, you must remember that it is sacred, and you must

teach your children that it is sacred and that the ghostly reflection in

the clear water of the lakes tells us events and memories in the life of

my people.

The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.

The rivers are our brothers, they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our

cannoes, feed our children. If we sell our land, you must learn, and teach

your children, that the rivers are our brothers, and yours, and you must

henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.

 

We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of

the land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in

the night and takes from the land whatever he needs.

The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it,

he moves on.

He leaves his father's grave behind, and he does not care. He kidnaps the

earth from his children, and he does not care.

His father's grave and his children's birthright are forgotten.

He treats his mother, the earth, and his brother, the sky, as things to be

bought, plundered, sold like sheep or bright beads.

His appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert.

I do not know. Our ways are different than yours.

 

The sight of your cities pains the eyes of the red man. But perhaps

because the red man is a savage and does not understand.

There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the

unfurling leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insects wings.

But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand.

 

The clatter only seems to insult the ears. And what is there to life if

man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the arguments of the

frogs around a pond at night ? I am red man and do not understand.

 

The Indian prefers the soft sound of the wind darting over the face of a

pond, and the smell of the wind itself, cleaned by a mid-day rain, or

scented by the pinon pine.

 

The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath -

the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath.

The white man does not seem to notice the air he breaths. Like a man dying

for many days is numb to the stench.

 

But if we sell you our land, you must remember that the air is precious to

us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath

also receives his last sigh.

 

And if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a

place where even the white man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened

by the meadows flowers.

So we will consider your offer to buy our land. If we decide to accept,

I'll make one condition, the white man must treat the beasts of this land

as his brothers.

I am a savage and I do not understand any other way.

 

I have seen a thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie, left by the white

man who shot them from a passing train.

I am a savage and I do not understand how the smoking iron horse can be

more important than the buffalo that we kill only to stay alive.

 

What is man without the beasts ? If all the beasts were gone, man would

die from a great loneliness of spirit.

For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are

connected.

 

You must teach the children that the ground beneath their feet is the

ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your

children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin.

Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is

our mother.

Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit

upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.

 

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.

This we know.

All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things

are connected.

Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not

weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to

the web, he does to himself.

 

Even the white man, whose God walks and talks with him as friend to

friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny.

We may be brothers after all.

We shall see.

One thing we know, which the white man may discover one day - our God is

the same God.

You may think you know that you own Him as you wish to own our land, but you

cannot. He is the God of man, and His compassion is equal for the red man

and the white.

This earth is precious to him, and to harm the earth is to heap contempt

on its Creator.

 

The whites too shall pass, perhaps sooner than all other tribes.

Contaminate your bed, and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.

But in your perishing you will shine brightly, fired by the strength of

the God who brought you to this land and for some special purpose gave you

dominion over this land and over the red man.

That destiny is a mystery to us, for we do not understand when the buffalo

are all slaughtered, the wild horses are tamed, the secret corners of the

forest heavy with the scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills

blotted by talking wires.

Where is the thicket ? Gone.

Where is the eagle ? Gone.

The end of living and beginning of survival.

 

-- Chief Sealth (Seattle)
