I personally am against drugs, however i stick by my belief that NO human being no matter how evil or ignorant weather there dictators or criminals should be executed, tortured or harmed. They should be dealt with humanly and within the human rights laws.

The man committed a crime, it was wrong. But he had realized and learnt from his mistake, however the Chinese still went on to execute him.

I believe execution should be abolished across the world. It is not the answer.

This all came about by two members of the public creating an online campaign on FaceBook aiming to pull the RATM classic to number one beating the xfactor single that dominates our Christmas charts since 2005.

This Sunday (20th December) brought the UK top 40 Christmas chart, RATM were crowned Christmas Number 1 2009. This proves that when people want to prove a point or achieve something on a huge scale it can be done. There is still a community and it is still strong, so when we think of our soldiers fighting (for unjustified reasons) in Afghanistan this Christmas and all the killings in Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other places across the globe. Why cant the public unite just like they have on this occasion and do something about it.

If we can do it for the charts to knock xfactor off the top spot at christmas, why cant it be done for more pressing matters?

Think about it.

So Net pirates, who use file-sharing websites such as pirate bay to download copyright material in an illegal manor apparently spend a fair amount on legitimate versions of music too. But dose that make it right? Defiantly not:

If i was to enter a tesco store and steel 4 cans of coke…..

Then a week later go and buy 2 cans at ASDA….

Would this make me less of a thief? No.

If the ability for net pirates to download is non existent or significantly less… they will spend more! Thats like shipping, if there is CCTV, electronic tags and security staff, the risks for shoplifters are much higher so they can ether leave it, buy it or take the risk and get arrested!

I think we all know the way forward from here.

Joe recently led the STWC march in central London on the 24th of October. He also made a speech in defiance of orders. He also recently returned to his barracks, expecting a hostile response to his actions from his fellow troops, instead of being branded a coward and mocked he was applauded.

Heres some comments Joe has written about the Afghan war:

“We were told quite specifically the different reasons we were there for: to provide security, reconstruction, rebuilding infrastructure,” he said. “But over the course of my tour it became straightforward combat,” he said.

“A lot of guys around me didn’t know why we were there. The confusion happening in the UK today was evident among the troops three years ago.”

I would like you all to join me in support of this great man, if you would like to help the organization STWC (stop the war coalition) Please Click Here to view there webpage, support them, donate if you can and attend some marches!

Thanks for reading.

Now on to the good old fake merchandise sellers, these are more of a concern to everyone involved most of them are very intimidating, in your face and rude. These people are there for one reason only to pocket some tax free easy money, they attempt to ambush you by saying at times ‘It’s official merchandise there is no merchandise inside’ or ‘Official tour t-shirts’ there not at all, official merchandise (if on sale) will always be sold inside the venue itself. Not only is this robbing the bands blind (if you buy the official merchandise they get the money to make new records/tour more/etc) they are also robbing you blind by selling poor quality items. Pay that extra few pounds and get the good stuff. Do not show attitude to these guys no matter how much you want to they are also criminals and wont stand for any abuse, at one Enter Shikari show this october in the UK, security attempted to move some of these people on from the venue property, they got assaulted. So please do not, however tempting it maybe do not buy any merchandise off the streets outside venues.

I hope this has opened some eyes and helped people out.

Click Here for the full BBC News story.

Here are the main facts:

• You CAN use file-sharing websites legally.
• You CANT download copy-write material from file-sharing websites legally.

Want to listen to music but cant afford to buy it/want to try before you buy?

• Download Spotify – a music host that connects to the internet, holds a huge library of music to stream.
• Vist We7 – a music streaming website, also with a huge library.

If you would like to buy music and support the artists then you can buy direct downloads off itunes or 7digital or alternatively you can visit high-street music store HMV, superstore ASDA or an independent record store to purchase hard copies of music.

In my opinion we should all support the artists that make the music we listen too, this enables funds for tours, merchandise and more to be made available and most importantly it allows them to keep making music! If artists wish to give there music away for free they can, but if they don’t it doesn’t mean there music should be.

Hope that helps some of you!

I’d say about 70% of these if not more are mindless crowd followers who have nothing better to do with there life’s. Ofcouse your entailed on your say but there’s a way to do things and that video of what has been going on hits me hard.

I have a few friends from different races and cultures and some have been living in the UK since they remember and i cant imagine what they feel when they hear story’s of attacks, abuse and various other unnecessary bullshit.

If people have a view why cant they discuss or put it across in a civil manor rather than shouting the odds in an offensive manor!

Who’s with me?!

Whats your view?!
