But is it a rip off or an updating? I liked it and feel it's a companion piece to America No More. -paul

that tune seems better than most in the charts but its all abit half arsed i reckon. I saw that fucking shite show J Leno or something with that bloke who's a cross between the man in the moon and Mr Punch, and they were playing that tune right after he was sat there talking shits and giggles with Hilary Clinton. Its never gonna change anything, it doesnt raise any discussions, well apart from whether or not it will raise any discussions, errr. Its good blacksmoke did that tune for 911, but its a shame it came so long after the event. Its like people think its ok now to say this or that but why didnt they at the time? Its like loads of punks ive met going on about war this and atom bomb that, then when anything kicks off they shut up. Is this cos while normally these events would be ideal for their artistic shock value and a way to make themselves feel 'righ on' or is it because they realise if they take advantage of such evil at such short notice they are scared of getting their fucking heads kicked in by Sun readers? Also as for all the whinging going on before about posts related to 911, well most of the posts werent related to that, they were about the whole picture not one disaster and no one ever did explained or justified why the KLF were more important on this forum thing or anywhere else than the genocide happening in the world. Thats pretty fucking sad and pitiful you know. We've all gotta enjoy stuff and theres a time and a place, but things of such importance really shouldnt be met with an up yours and such negativity which i've seen on go on. You may not wanna read it but its not like someones trying to stir up race hatred or some shit. There's more discussion about whether its related to a band who arent even going anymore than there is about such mixed up times. Thats probably an excellent illustration of what a fucked up race we are and this will only change by tolerating and educating people i'd previously want to kick the shit out of. > >Does anybody else think it was a bit of chart >fixing that got the BEP to No1 in the UK as >opposed to actual sales.

When 2017 comes, every view on THAT ACT with have been stated, everything will have bben said therefore making asny future debate a redundant and pointless exercise. when the time comes, expect Bill to say: "Everything has been said and therefore it is not worth saying anything".

tips for 9/11-related submitters
by our.webstuff＠verizon.net 13 Sep '03

13 Sep '03

regarding 9/11-related posts - and "complaints" about the same: the argument that "this isn't the place" to discuss such matters is a fallacy - as anyone who isn't brainwashed knows, one of the biggest problems is the fact that these things are NOT DISCUSSED ENOUGH and the "helpful" advice given to posters of 9/11-related items to go to "other places" where these things are discussed is really a sham as well - because the people that give that advice are pretty much guaranteed to never visit those so-called "other places" - which is EXACTLY why the discussion should NOT be relegated to only those specified places so here's some REAL advice to 9/11-related posters: when you get "complaints" about the content: IGNORE THEM remember, when anyone bothers enough to take the time to complain about your postings, that means they are brainwashed and/or on the WRONG SIDE, even if they claim to "agree" with what you've said if people really don't want to discuss it, they won't - and they won't complain, either, they'll ignore it, if they really agree and are on the right side only those on the wrong side will complain, not only because they can't stand to lose control of system they want to run like a fascist post office, but because they can't stand the fact that everyone doesn't think exactly like them - and they HATE the fact that there are people SMARTER than them (they also hate people that are less brainwashed, too, even though they have, for the most part, either brainwashed themselves are let themselves willingly be brainwashed - still, though, they recognize someone who isn't - and can't stand to see freedom of thought when they only have freedom FROM thought) SO AGAIN: when "complaints" surface, IGNORE THEM - it is only a trick to get you to stop talking about what you REALLY want to talk about and to start an unrelated argument with them that they will then try to use against you to try to push you out of here, claiming that you are a "disruption" (even though they are the disruptive party) it is a classic tactic used by those with taliban hearts and nazi minds so if you think it's important - share it and KEEP ON POSTING!

If Jim has to be angry to write FFF shall we kidnap him. We might get some good tunes. Then again we might get 15 years.

Yes, but technically it wasent about September 11. In general, I would say that what 911 means has changed since Sep 11. Stuey and Michelle wrote: except they have already, "911 is a joke"
