If ele expressed his lyrics, or their ideas, in my house, I would kick him out! Ele has NO right to use my property for his despicable arguments! <br /><br />Free Speech does not mean a person has a right to say anything, anywhere. Nor does Free Speech guarantee a speaker an audience! <br /><br />The 9th Amendment only says, A person is free to say what he wants *where his ideas are welcome*. Otherwise, he abuses the right of others to use their property as they see fit.<br /><br />That means, if NBC refuses to air ele's music, THEY have that right. Their decision is not a violation of (ele's) free speech, it is an assertion of their Right to Property.<br /><br />Basically, any smart company will refuse to air ele's bad songs, even all of his songs because of the few bad ones. That choice reflects THEIR right to free speech.<br /><br />Get it?<br /><br />You must not be REQUIRED TO allow some 'musician' to spout his lyrics at your venue. Your venue is YOURS, not his. YOU too have to be free.<br /><br />Ultimately, Ele is an idiot/bigot, and if he is reflecting JAMAICAN culture, then Jamaicans have a serious cultural(!) bigotry problem.<br /><br />Oh, and this is a great example of the BS that is called "Multi-culturalism"... <br /><br />No culture has been better for any <i>Homo sapiens</i> than the U.S. From 1865, when slaves were freed, to 1939, when F.D.Roosevelt turned America into a welfare state, no nation's people have prospered so happily. <br /><br />Sadly, FDR legitimized the confiscation (stealing) of private property, in earnest. His socio-political transformations were an enormous movement of America towards socialism. <br /><br />Socialists are the true 'greedy' creeps. I use 'greedy' to mean desire for the <b>unearned</b>.<br /><br />In contrast, capitalists carefully trade value for value. Socialists seek value by <i>force</i>. They use democracy to enact that force. So what, if democratically elected representatives wield that force, they do not alter the fact that force is used to confiscate the property (money) of citizens. All they have done is twist law & democracy so that robbery is considered 'legal'.<br /><br />Socialists, and Elephant Man, are intellectually corrupt ...swine of the same ilk!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479600882274172677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-14007314270466301452007-10-01T02:05:00.000-04:002007-10-01T02:05:00.000-04:00Anonymous ...one and two...this has got NOTHING ab...Anonymous ...one and two...this has got NOTHING about making it harder for the black man to live. Anyone who has read what I have written knows that black Caribbean music is my favourite music...including dancehall.And it's not about what you think of gay people either. Although just like I'm not a racist...you shouldn't be a homophobe either. But when you encourage people to kill other people just for who they are then you cross the line. How would YOU feel if gay people were calling for blacks to be killed? You would be against that and so would I.I'd attack them just as hard and try to cancel their shows. Elephant Man had a chance to sign an agreement just like Beanie Man did but he refused to so he shouldn't cry now. I am sorry that you won't get a chance to see the acts you love. But if those guys didn't act like nazis we could BOTH enjoy their shows...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-49421230171566314092007-09-30T22:13:00.000-04:002007-09-30T22:13:00.000-04:00Y'ALL B HATING ON ELEPHANT MAN.

He remains unrepentant to his lyrics calling for queers to be burned and killed. He continues to sing and spread his hatred and has not confirmed or denied his signing of the ACT. He and all other artists are still part of the Stop Murder Music campaign.SLAAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217827160632503155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-3810321062988917292007-09-24T00:27:00.000-04:002007-09-24T00:27:00.000-04:00Wow.
