What a pathetic liar.
he was basicly not treatly unfairly or discriminated upon.




No! not a liar cool It's an opinion! Discrimination and racism are different! Racism is a prejudice.
Discrimination is an intentional act! It is easy Wolf to take parts out of context! lol

Prince wanted to play all kinds of music so he created a band to reflect! Now that is fact! wink

Yeah it's easy for anyone with a brain to read your posts and see exactly what you said in context and come to the conclusion you're a pathetic liar, because you argued with people about it, and backtracked when you were outnumbered. Its really predictable you would try and slither your way out of it with semantics. Nice try. So long.

I think lately that Prince is highly influenced by Larry.
I was never a big fan of Larry's but after seeing him at the celebration this year, God forgive me and Iam a nice person, but I believe Larry to be an idiot.

Larry is not an idiot.
Do you know the definition of the word?

idiot: one who suffers from retardation
in one of its most severe forms, having
a mental age of three years or less; an
extremely incompetent person (as in unable
to tie one's shoelaces).

You are always saying that you are a nice
person. Have any evidence? Nice people
don't make such blistering comments about
others.

Just because you are in love with Prince
is no reason to be insanely jealous of
his friends.

While Prince's undisputed musical abilities are remarkable at the very least, his attempt at intellectualizing, both on disc as well as in concert, are ridicoulous. As a fervent sopporter of his desier to branch off in a seemingly endless array of directions (even if some of those culminate in not so impressive musical results) I oppsoes his recent attempts to discuss world history and politics in a blatant and often ignorant manner. For a man who has spent a couple of decades preaching about love and unity to discuss the eventual demise of all who do not follow a particular religious path, is at best rediculous. As a Jew who has lost family in in the Hollocaust I can tell you that the allusions made in TRC offend me deeply. Family nam is one of the greatest songs I've heard in a while, and it took me a while to clue in to what he saying, but make no mistake Prince's comments suggest Jews as being the devil (not uncommon amongst Jehovah Witnesses and their beliefs). It is quite clear that this man is either very confused or simply full of some sort of hate.Prince is the man musically but should not be perpetuating the sort of half-minded hog wash that helps promote divsion and hate.

=== I think before anyone disses anothers intellectual abilities HE HIMSELF should look in the mirror. you need spelling lessons!
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses

BULLSHIT! Prince is VERY intellectual! Maybe you aren't! He is more intellectual than many, many other people. At 16 he thought like a 35 year old hence getting his receord deal so early. He's a business man and creative type who studies his work before he writes songs. I think Prince knows what he was doing when he joined JW.
Maybe you should take spelling lessons. wink

Really...

I would say that being a "musical genius" is in itself an intellectual achievement of very high standards. His music is first "created" in his mind and he makes a lot of music and does pretty much all of it very well.

So with respect to music, Prince is clearly an intellectual and a fine one.

Respecting other disciplines surely not. But I also think there aren't that many "intellectuals", if any, who are geniuses in everything.
You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.

I think Prince is a very intelligent man to just come this far. He's just trying to make sense of the world and the word just like the rest of us, while forming his own opinions. I think he does these things because he's trying to do good to the people and doesn't mean any harm. This is all a learning experience for him as it is for us. What he's going through now and projecting on others, he will learn from it, and it will take him to greater heights. We just have to know the difference, and learn not to be so influenced into what he says or believes, because from the get go he has always been putting all his mental, and his heart into his music, so that's what we see and get whenever he does a concert or whenever we listen to his music. We should just stand back, watch, and listen. That's the most that we could, and should do. If not, then just don't. He's just living like the rest of us.
