system of a down has always been political. their lyrics are like that on all of thier cds.

not worth us getting our panties tied up in a knott about.

peace.

I wasn't complaining about their lyrics. I was complaining about Daron's comment and the whole attitude that celebrities have somthing important to say just because they're celebrities.

Amber, you are wise beyond your years.

i'm just saying that SOAD has always been like this. it's not like they're going out of character.

But then, it's so easy to throw the stone when you dissagree with something...

peace.

Americans do not kill Iraqis, Iragis kill Iraqis.

That may seem a little insane and insensitive, but it is true.

Anyone remember economic sanctions against Irag for not complying with the UN? Saddam fed his army and starved the children. Then America got blamed for causing the starvation in Irag.

Q: Why is Saddam finaly giving up a couple of missles?
A: 280 thousand troops.

Q: Does Saddam respect the UN.
A: No, it is a tool he uses to protect his brutal, opressive govornment. You know, the one that uses chemical and biological weapons on it's people.

Q: Why doesn't France want war? Love of peace?
A: Power and money. France has major investments in Irag . . . oh, wait, so does Russia and Germany. Thats odd, maybe their cause isn't so noble after all. But hey, who cares right? America is evil.

I love America, where people can protest anything they want. Maybe someday the people of Irag will thank America for it's freedoms. Kind of like the French.

Jeez, people have happily gone along up an entertainment industry where every halfwitted remark made by a celebrity is considered worth recorded and repeating on a million TV shows and magazine covers for decades, so why are they only getting upset when the subject switches to world events rather than what designer's shoes they'll be wearing to the Oscars or where they got their new nose done? It's got nothing to do with evil liberals or even the current situation -- it's the whole shabby belief system that has been foisted on us for almost a hundred years that only the thoughts and feelings of CELEBRITIES have any real significance. If you've ever paid more attention to the romance, heartbreak and foibles of film and TV stars than the people you meet then you're responsible for giving them their overinflated sense of worth and importance. They didn't get so arrogant without a willing public to suck it all in....

I like SOAD, some of the best music out today, and you definitely won't mistake them for anyone else. Considering Malakian's ability to have his own illinformed opinion in the face of facts, commonsense or history means he and Michael Moore should get along well.
I don't see SOAD moving out of L.A. to become human shields, so I take it with a grain of salt. I love their music, and I don't have MTV, so I can be blissfully ignorant.

i'm not angry about what u said about Daron. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. but, so am i. and i just feel pity for all of u that have to put down someone just because they are afraid of loosing a family member in a war. Personally, i think what u said was pretty shitty, but, again we are all entitled to our own opinions. but i just hoope that at some point in your pathetic lives u can finally recognize the fine line between critisism and cruelty.because frankly, you've crossed it.

by the way, i don't suppose that any of u could relate to what daron is saying? because if u could, i'd really love too hear it.
go ahead. IM me: Daronlover4ever

oh, and this is just for " the theory", if u knew anything about SOAD, then u would know that they themselves have said 100 TIMES that they have not, are not, and never will be, completely political. they said they write about whatever is on their minds.

I state emphatically for the record that I have not been, am not now, and never will be completely human.

Never mind the evidence. Never mind the record. Take this statement, right here, as truth. The fact that everything I say or do reveals me to be human means nothing, I tell you! Nothing!

:)

Do you people just parrot everything you hear in your ultra-right or ultra-left wing monthlies? Your semi-informed ass is the most dangerous type of all, because you presume to be more informed than others simply from gleaning a different shore of the sea of lies.

And by the way, you should try serving in the military and understanding war from a TRULY personal perspective before you pretend you know what you are talking about. Watching people die changes things.

so, iraq posed a real threat to the states, eh? seems to be that the real threat rather comes from the US, poiting the finger to any country that doesn't comply to their wishes.

WE ARE NOT THE POLICE OF THE WORLD!!!!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PROJECT IRAQI FREEDOM! YOUR MINDS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED FROM YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT! LIES ARE ALL YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY!!

PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME DISGUISTED IF YOU SUPPORT THE WAR SOO MUCH WHY IS YOUR ASS SITTING DOWN WRITING COMMENTS ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL AND WHY THE F*** ARENT YOU ASSHOLES GETTING SHOT IN THE WAR YOURSELF!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE KILLING OUR PLANET!! AND KILLING YOURSELVES!!! TAKE ACTION NOW AND FUCK THE SYSTEM!!! OR ALWAYS LIVE YOUR LIFE KNOWING YOUR A VICTIM OF INSANITY!


peace, not war

I would preferred the previous comment with the captalization reversed. I too am for peace not war, but sometimes, in the real world, the road to peace travels through war.

Eric Olsen,you are correct sometimes the road to peace does travel from war, but in the case we are in right now it certainly does not. We are only fighting for oil.

-Danny

yallz can kiss mah aSS .. u 2 danny

uhhh no thnks gregorrzzz im not like you.....you stupid fuckin redneck

See, now I'm disappointed - there are reasonable reasons to oppose the war (not that I agree with them) but the oil angle is not one of them.

well eric, I have had some deep thoughts about capturing sadaam and starting a war, well first of all sadaam hussein is the ruler of his own country, correct?So if he is the ruler of his country why would it be any of our business to go capture him because hes mistreating his country the country isnt ours and it wouldnt make any difference.

George Bush makes some big mistakes for America but you dont see any other country budding in trying to correct him.

The world in general no longer has the luxury of allowing absolute sovereignty, and all kinds of other countries try to influence the governance of the US. And what do you think most terrorists are trying to do but to influence governance?

well yes the world doesnt have the luxury of allowing absolute soverignty anymore but no1 said that its not possible to have that luxury and terrorist arent only trieng to influence governence they are killing themselves for a belief. For what they think is right, i do not like to call them "terrorists" I would like to call them people who did the most they could fo sumthing they believed in which was kill themselves along with other non-believers

-Danny

i think that the us should drop motherucking bombs on bagdad and IRAN ! i hate those persian bitches who always complain. They all deserve to die. And George bush can go likc his wifes pussy for all i care. This wor;d is corrupt. Persians deserve to die !!!! FUCKERS

nonya, there is no reason to be stereotype to others persians are people too.I, myself am a man of peace and a man of many thaughts but i have never thaught of bein stereotype to other races that is just showing how ignorant a man can be

nonya who do u think u think u r being all racetz n shit. IM PERSIAN my self and what have persianz doen to u? I juss dont get it. I get realie mad at racetz people like u. so i think u could juss go eat a hot dagg or sumthing

Perhaps eating hot dogs IS the answer to racism.

Mr. O,
Would that be the all beef variety, the kind with the casing (love 'em, but never get 'em-Mrs Bricklayer peddles only dogs of the soy variety-which are indeed quite yummy, though)or the lips and buttholes variety of hot dogs? If your theory has legs, I will do my part to fight the good fight!

B, We have become a turkey-dog family and indeed they are a worthy substitute for the venerable Oscar-Mayer and ballpark variety. I can perceive nascent racism fleeing as if before The Flood when consuming said victuals.

yeah, if you put enough chili, cheese and other toppings on any kind of fill-in-the-blank dog, it doesn't matter if it is tofu, turkey, or soy. MMMMMM. Chili and cheese.

I wholeheartedly agree, Craig. CHILI AND CHEESE RULE!!!!!!!

Hot Dogs Good. Racism Bad.

THAT should be on every label!

true,true

"if we can prevent that shit from coming over to America and my family getting killed"

Since when has Saddam posed ANY threat to people living in the USA? It's militant organisations that pose such threats.

Well done Bush, if you repeat something enough it DOES become the truth...

I think you are full of crap and you are bashing someone thats spitting the truth!Yeah so what if they are in the "public eye"! At least they are making a statement and getting people to follow!! SOAD is just speaking for thhose of us who are unable to speak what we want and be heard!There is NOO need for you to go and tear Daron Malakian to shreds for wanting to voice what he thinks!!I back HIM 110% and I ALWAYS will!soo if you have ne thing to say say it! I did and I will again!

untill next time!,

U, northern americans, think you are the best part of the world, the best thing ever done. But in the Middle East, South America, Europe, there are people who want guarantees for their rights, too. People in Iraq just expect you not to dropping bombs on there, because they have their families to take care as you also have! They're not requesting anything, they just want their rights back. US is not the world's owner as you guys think. Some time it may change and an atomic bomb end it all up, you know, as you americans did in Japan 1945, World War II, but now it could be more damaging than before for your economy and your nice people who pollute the world more than anyone!
