Perhaps this thread might be better suited for the political boards, because I could complain all day about the Man.

Move it, mods!

Of course they can, the problem is a lot of them think they are "the man" by virtue of their skin tone. The man is actually the ones
who have the power to control the lives of people with less power.

since this thread might get moved to the political boards ...

I don't really have anything to say.  I just want to post something so I can say that I posted something in the political boards without going into the political boards ;D

The MAN cancelled "Freaks and Geeks".

The MAN shaved his head.

The MAN killed my cat.

The MAN didn't wish me a Happy Birthday

The MAN doesn't allow me to take more than one penny from the Take a penny-Leave a penny jar, to purchase a tasty beverage.

The MAN makes me turn the volume down.

The MAN made "high fives" uncool.

The MAN drove Pauly Shore's career right into the ground.

The MAN forced me to dance the Macarena.

The MAN made me paranoid about The MAN.

The MAN won't allow me to substitute fries with coleslaw.

The MAN keeps Toby Keith alive just to torture me

The MAN makes me take off my shoes when entering a tent.

The MAN made me anti-social.

The MAN won't give me extra Sweet and Sour sauce without charging $.25.

The MAN made me white

The MAN tore down quaint shops to build the evil that is Wal*mart

The MAN made "Get-R-Done!!" Kewl fad.

The MAN caused me to use the word "Kewl".

The MAN is mainstream.

The MAN shops at Hot Topic

The MAN is a scary clown





..

F*ck the system..! >:-{

The MAN drove Pauly Shore's career right into the ground.
Well, at least the MAN did one good thing.

You know what I find funny is when people blame George Bush for everything that happens to them, like he's the devil.  Yes, I despise George Bush, but that doesn't mean it's his fault I lost 20 bucks.  ;D

The man stole my innocence.

lol omg U did the saix with t3h M4n?

Does anybody else from Canada think about "the man"?  I don't, the only thing that drives me crazy is our taxes.  Outrageous if anyone from the states ever compares their's to mine.  The man, hmmm.  I did see Kenye West on TV saying that George Bush doesn't care about Black people.  And, from what I've witnessed on television (uh huh) I'd have to agree.  I am offended about being called "white people" though, does that count? ;D ;D ;D

Of course white people can complain about the Man...why couldn't they?  Everybody falls prey to the Man, regardless of skin color.  Except Oprah.  I mean, let's face it...she IS the Man.

...

Yesum.

Get 'im.  :(

It's your fight.

Not to seem naive, but... What or who IS the man?

The Man is the embodiment of the Corporations which take people down.  The Man also includes the Government.

Yeah, the man sucks. In my opinions, people shouldn't have to worry about so much. Can't we all be like animals and just live to make babies, then die? I mean... Why not kill another human being for a mate? Lions do it! (I... think....), Why can't we have sex with people under 18? I bet cavemen did!


Let's be cavemen!

Ok, I'm done... everyone can burn me now.

I think this might be tongue-in-cheek... but either way, if we did that, we'd have no sense of morality. That's what separates us from animals. But yes, there is too much worry in the life of humanity.. it's the curse of being a higher being, it really is.

I think it depends how you define "The Man" as to how you complain. The stereotype of the black people complaining of "The Man" is referring to rich, Caucasian males who wear suits, usually politicians. I define the man as any authority who restricts fun and freedoms. So yes, I can complain about him all I like.

We're not separate from the animals.

That's why TV is full of sex.  That's why there's wars.  Humans are just animals with technology and complex reasoning capabilities.

I am THE MAN and that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold Said So.

*glass breaks* >:(

Animals cannot find humor, feel guilt, appreciate irony, have free love, use currency, build civilation, follow laws and codes, and are not the dominant species.

Chimps are close, but even they don't got it.

So yes, we're different. We're essentially animals at our basis, but we're far more complex.

Proof/strong evidence of this?

These are true, but do they imply spiritual superiority?

I do agree that we're the most complex of the animals.  But we're not in a different league, we're just the best player.

My grandmother thinks this way.

Phone commerical with a old white richman speaking to his employee - ORWM "It's my little way of sticking it to the man". Employee- "But sir, you are the man?" ORWM- "Yes, I know". Employee- "wouldn't that be sticking it to yourself?" ORWM - "Maybe".


Why is that we hate - The Man, yet compliment each other by saying - "U da man!" ?

I have a cell phone plan that lets me call during peak hours without paying extra.

It's my way of sticking it to The Man.

;D

THE MAN CAME, ACROSS THE SEA, HE BOUGHT US PLAGUE, AND MISERY, HE KILLED OUR TRIBES, HE KILLED OUR CREED, HE TOOK OUR GAME FOR HIS OWN NEED. WE FOUGHT HIM HARD, WE FOUGHT HIM WELL.. OUT ON THE PLAINS, WE GAVE HIM HELL! BUT WHEN IT CAME, TOO MUCH FOR CREE, OH WILL WE EVER BE SET FREE?

Great to here!  Fight the power!

;D

The Man in me will do nearly any task.

I kinda work for The Man.

He's nice to you if he likes you.
and he doesn't like everyone.

I guess it depends on how much money you have.

Run to the hills....  Run for your lives..... 


RUNNING THROUGH DUST CLOUDS AND BARREN WASTES, GALLOPING HARD ON THE PLAINS, CHASING THE RED SKINS BACK TO THEIR HOLES, FIGHTING THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME. MURDER FOR FREEDOM A STAB IN THE BACK, WOMEN AND CHILDREN, A COWARDS ATTACK!

(repeat Chorus)

Run To The Hills, Run For Your Lives.....

Oh and what the heck:

Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives

(repeat Chorus)

Haven't you Seen The World of Richard Scarry?

Those animals did all of that! :O

Which group of white people is this about? It must be the poor oppressed white people living up in Oregon? times is hard up there.  :\'(

No, this guy is The Man.

Chico, don't be discouraged,
The Man he ain't so hard to understand.
Chico, if you try now,
I know that you can lend a helping hand.

The Man is actually "the white man" shortened, really.

So if I had an operation where they removed some vertebrae from my spine and made me a foot shorter, would I be The Man too?

Sure.  Because the joke most people miss is that the man isn't black, brown, white, red or yellow.  He is green. ;)

lol - though I think you'd resemble Kermit the Frog! lol

I don't think "the man" cares what color you are as much as he used to. All are potential prey.  Just look at imminent domain , there's the man sticking it to good American citizens right up the butt, no wine, no flowers! "We'll take your land now and the community as a whole will be better. here's your check. Thank you, good bye, good luck, get out!

Ah yes, the black fella who flunked me 2 consecutive years in a row in high school Algebra was really just useing face paint  ;D

Hey! It's not easy being green!  >:(
