When I first saw the video and listened to the song I thought, "wow, this is stupid if they're gonna keep singing about handlebars" Then it moved on and showed the difference between two friends and how one loves freedom (represented by the dove); and how one becomes arrogant from (I can ride my bike with no handlebars) to (I can end the planet in a holocaust). This isn't just about government arrogance, ignorance, and corruption; it's about human nature and corruption of the mind.

What is your interpretation?

Suzie, I'll be honest I'm not so sure on the religion part of this movie and I won't say yes or no because I haven't read the bible. But I think when you get 2 hours to do nothing or some time to come over here we need to watch this movie. [link]

When I saw that video it reminded me of this. Bush is the new Hitler, he is using tactics, quotes, and things are becoming so strange. Now I don't watch T.v. but I have seen some of these videos from the internet and the day that happened at school and back then I did have T.V. so I witnessed some of these clips. It's just that this scares me so much I'm afraid for it to be true.

Sad to say also, but I like your Dad, but I was right. He's brainwashed by the mass media with tons of other Americans in the world. One kid on YTube was yelling at us saying we were idiots and we are over thinking. My comment back to him was,

"I think you are another brainwashed American who lingers in front of a television set watching the lies and one faced opinions on the news or something like American idol everyday. I think you don't think you pay enough attention so a subject called history. I don't think you have enough what it takes to sit down and think about the future, your life, or even an insult better than an idiot to all who 'know' what is going on. What do you 'think' about that?"

Well, our comments got deleted lol, but it disturbed me how nobody decided to comment back at me, yell at me, or agree. Sad, I'm only 16. We are only 16 Suzie and we have to face this crap. Now I am afraid to have children in fear of them having to suffer from our mistakes.

... I think I found a purpose now to my life. Unfortunately to open eyes to what our future 'really' look like through art and maybe music.

I'm just confused...what did you mean by my dad is "brainwashed by the mass media with tons of other Americans in the world."? Before I get offended, did you mean that he would think the video was exadurating what could happen and that all the ppl who said there was a deeper meaning were taking it too seriously , or that he's ONE of the ppl that were taking it too seriously?

:icongothic-kitty103:
no he listens to the news and believes it. Not to be offending because hell, so many others believe it. I believed it too to some extent.

And no, that was calling us idiots for "taking it too serious".
:icongothic-kitty103:
he was calling us idiots* sorry. No don't get offended. It's not our fault we put trust in the people leading this country right?! <cough> Hell, isn't that what we are supposed to do in return of the good people running it? And I say that in the way it should be not the way it really is unfortunately. T.T And if I wasn't tactful back there you have my permission to slap me next time you see me.

Oh, he finally messaged me. Turns out he wasn't some idiot like he sounded like, (I hate it when people type three worded sentences then break each one so it looks like some blob poetry crap but it's just an insult. >.<;) but still thinks what I said is false because it "wouldn't effect the quality of a Flobots song".

Uh, honestly doesn't it really affect it? I'm sorry but so many rap songs are about useless crap and this one actually has a good purpose. :S He says he's so well educated, well he couldn't figure that number out. I hope the hell he had a ditzo moment. lol
:icongothic-kitty103:
DAMN THAT DAMN SMILEY!!!
:iconboredrandomnimity:
well who else can you rely on to give you news? lol Don't worry, he doesn't believe everything in the news. He doesn't even like many of the news stations because he knows they're hiding something. lol He visits many websites and subscribes to their...articles or something like that to form a true opinion and not follow everyone else's. Besides, he hates it when others follow and believe everything they're told (for instance, my mom. She's the one you should be talking about) lol!

Aye well I got that impression of ya daddeh because of the Meican crap. >.<
:iconboredrandomnimity:
Ahh, well we not only heard and saw it in the news, we witnessed it when we went to Washington. We had problems with parking tickets and getting out of the parking lot itself and there was a lady that worked there and she could hardly speak any English. We got so desperate trying to understand her that my dad just spoke in Spanish! lol...then there was a time when we needed directions, so we asked the nearest person (a Mexican), then about 3 others approached the car all trying to give us directions. At first I thought they were just being nice, then they stuck out their hands and said something like "give money?" or "you have money?" or something like that...

rofl! Well yeah, I honestly don't think there's such thing as "good government". And I don't believe there will ever be an end to divisions on a map, and to power. Hell, if we could live without divisions, we'd all be hippies! All one, and all love! right? But NOOO!!! With many people all around the world, once they have a little freedom or a little power, they want more until they abuse it. It's only human nature. Maybe you and me and a few others won't always think that way, but all modesty and pride aside, we're all the same.

That's just my opinion though, lol!

AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT RAP! I THINK THAT'S WHY I LIKED EMINEM (yeah, call me crazy or lame, or stupid...or an idiot! lol)! He actually talked about real family issues he was having instead of how good he could fuck a girl! (sad to say, he's gone kinda crazy now and even hates women and sings racist songs of black women). And there's the song "Where is the Love" by Black Eyed Peas. And it was one of my favorite songs in the Philippines because the points he made about humanity is made very clearly in his lyrics. Now there's Flobots and they've gone even farther! Enough so for me, to actually get scared! lol!

Sorry, but I'm really into the human nature and like to study characteristics! I might as well hide in a garbage can and hold binoculars up and spy on a couple to see what the relationship is!
