[b]: CONSUMED :[/b] Near death, Choked life, Chained need, Death trap. Organized crime, toxic murder, Hidden smile, self destruction. Tested and used by greatest radiation.
[i][ …consuming culture and materialization attacking the world widely. People keep consume or invest things; without brain that mostly unnecessary. Cycle life that choked never means something that hard if we know how to walk our own way. Let the chain of materialism die!!! ] [/i]
[b]: ERROR :[/b] Increased immunity, growth impotence. Poor concentration leads by impatience. Erode and motivated frustration. Unnecessary test and jeopardize operations. Rushed… error… genocide! Greed… error… massacre!
[i][ can medical centers/doctors be trusted? Can pills or medicine be trusted? This is about medical errors! You buy your own confidence and psychology by buying that pills/medicine. They don't always know best and be an intelligently informed patient anyway you can. Many unnecessary test and operations had been made playing with people's life. This is hidden enemy we almost ignored. Life is in our own hands… not theirs! ] [/i]
[b]: PAST FEW DAYS :[/b] Naked surveillance, mass acceptance. Hanging on hands of violated geeks. Controlled conditions, examined deeds. Mutilated, measured… destructed in grief. Not this time… enough shackled this. Not anymore… baptized in shit. Never again… memorized and buried. [i][ take control our own life, take back what's ours. Break the screen that watched us over from the early days we stepped into this world till now! Not anymore… that's enough!!! ][/i]
[b]: THIS COULD BE… :[/b] Manifestation of earthlings, Isolated from each other, Stability is its priority, Strange, deranged… understandable. Homage to replacement, Homage to its decay. Bowed down to extinction, …and life could be so mean. Erase all living things, This could be… something. [i][ human keep striving in this 'competitive world' (as they said) to make sure they live happily ever after. These selfishness keeps roll's on as the cycle life been supported by polluted mind made from capitalist world. ][/i]
[b]: RECLAIMED :[/b] Use me for derelict manner. Abused the existing words. Twisted truth! Grimace recaptured! You've been acting… and I reclaimed. [i][ bad words thrown at us? Shut the fucked up you loser! Only you know your own kindness… and I know your fault! Hah!!! ][/i]
[b]: SABOT NOW! :[/b] Paint the sky with our own hand. As we painted the wall of injustice's black. Collapsed reality that they dreamed. Ruin the phalanx of needy hands. Myopia? Hijack to make it clear! Noisome? Deafened the institutions! Sabot now! World without pressure! Sabot forever! I see nova came closer! [i][ when all tactical media, written propaganda, pacifism etc didn't works and human condition brutally in the hands of greed; this time to take a sabotage as another way to reclaim back our rights that had been raped for years. Reclaim! Sabot now! We will win! ][/i]
[b]: DISCOURSE :[/b] Rigmarole hypnotized mind, Justified on feeble sigh. In line… in line… one by one! Filthy intentions dropped on a muddled face!!! Discourse!!! Ferociously retouch, sceptically reborn. Scribbled on the wall, all were revealed. Crap… crap… it's totally crap! The discourse now disgorge… reject!!! [i][ People still consume their lies. All nations behind their leader followed blindly and accept anything that being feed. The impact from one man's act will infect all their sheep and the sheep will bear the entire fault been made by their so-called leader. Yet the sheep still obey and still being a victims and scapegoat. Why must we suffer from a fuckhead's brain that only just knows to twisting and twisting… again and again? Stop voting now… or you've just vote another legal criminal. Stop being sheep. ] [/i]
[b]: OWN DOGMA :[/b] I'm not your type. Not dancing to your tune. I'm not your anger. That you can use to. This is my way… I had chosen. Abuse your own words. Please refer to the books? Dogmatize any means necessary. For the sake as you want to? [i][ Thrusting belief and converting people to something that they don't ask/want is a completely irrational act. It's irritating! Keep your own dogma just only for your own self… don't expect people to be another holy follower of your legacy. Let them be whatever they wanted to be, let them decide everything they want… people will find you if they think it's necessary to get what you've got. Don't force them. ][/i]

[u]Dre: [/u]I do something that make me happy [happines is more than just hangin on the club, sometimes happines is reach by doing a resistence, but right now happines is a cute woman that I love and some cold beer in the bathtub]. Happines is relative depends on what I need
[u]Daniel:[/u] Sitting at a university computer attempting to answer the unbelievably huge amount of email in my inbox, and revelling in this needed distraction from personal correspondence, while listening to the last HIS HERO IS GONE LP and feeling somewhat technophobic. If you're asking what am I doing in terms of the DIY hardcore punk scene: later on this afternoon I'm going to start writing a little about CATHARSIS and THE STOOGES for #5 of 'ON FIRE', a DIY hardcore punk zine I publish, and then next week I will possibly have band practise for THE PLAGUE, a band that I sing for, which is basically an ugly, distorted mess of hardcore punk noise.
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] Now i just spend my holidays take photo where ever i go. Do some painting and stencil art. I took Street as my canvas.
[u]Man:[/u] Sekarang kerja kontrak residensi pelukis di sg buloh.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] im doing nothing at this moment.just staying at home,eating,sleeping,read ing,listening to the music that i love and sometimes watching t.v if my super-boring step father not at home.besides that,im running a very small ditributions called +FORSAKEN+.just started early this year(2004).im trying my best to distribute stuffs (cassettes,cds,fanzines..etc) from other places for all my friends here.not just distributing it,i hope that they'll get something from what they read/listened.
[u]Pam:[/u] Operating small independent and community-based bookstore with my several friends; raising my little lovely child as best as I can; work as a freelance artworker in a local social-analysis foundation; as a volunteer in a local Food Not Bombs; reading a lot of good books, watch good movies, hear some good records; write some articles, essays, etc, for friends? independent media.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] Trying to set up an independent radio station.
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] There are a lot of ways I can answer that question.. I assume you mean which projects are you involved in or what job you do. In that sense, I am the co-editor of HeartattaCk 'zine and I work full time at Ebullition Records Distribution. I tend to be a busy person. There are lots of things I do half assed because there are so many things I want to do. I try to get involved in my local community and the punk scene here as much as I can. Goleta is a small town, so you really need to take part in what is organized and help make your own fun.
[u]Isma:[/u] I'm studying at some place in here.. watching people around me.. every people are very interesting to know..
[u]Alex:[/u] What? Right now? Answering this shit and hoping to see banilyn soon...
[b]3. Do you satisfied in what you have got?[/b]

[u]Dre:[/u] sometimes yes sometimes not
[u]Daniel: [/u]No, I am not. Who is?
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] Do i? Might Be yes n might be no, depends on the on what kind of achievement that i receive. Probaly no.. is the answer...
[u]Man:[/u] Ya dan tidak juga.Sukar untuk berpuas hati dalam apa yang telah diperolehi.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] no, not really.i always wanted more but because of im a lazy person its all always ended up like that. nothings really work out.
[u]Pam:[/u] Absolutely.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] Hm. I'd be satisfied with a bit more money so I can get the station up and running, but am confident that I will get it soon, so I guess yes I am. I'm certainly happy with what I personally have, even if my company could do with a bit more!
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] Quite. I have it pretty good. I enjoy my life and all the people in it. There are things about my life that are hard, but I try to consider them challenges of living. I try to overcome difficult things and really make the best of what life I have left. Sometimes I fail, but plenty enough I make my life the way I want it. And I have fun!
[u]Isma:[/u] i guess.. i am preaty much satisfied with all corrupted system we live it.
[u]Alex:[/u] Yeah most of the time, but sometimes I think that I really want to have lots of money you know...
[b]4. Finally we?ve got ourselves here in Malaysia our own version of National Service starting early this year 2004, so how you define this agenda and what do you think about it? Also there?s ANSARA seek funding to help poor student in getting education easier, but the ironic side was why there are millions buck been feed towards National Service program, instead of should be giving it to the education itself in the first place? is military service more important than education itself? Or is it in the next near future education based on military purpose will be the main target for all young generation? Need your further view upon this matter.[/b]
[u]Elang:[/u] I don?t know about this. Sorry, i can?t answer this Q... :(
[u]Jeremy Othmer:[/u] Well thats a hard one Zaki! Its like here in Canada out natives get free education, and a lot of them piss it away on beer, and drugs. So its a catch 22, if you give kids a free education a lot will take advantage of it and make something out of themselves. Some will do the same that is going on in Canada right now. I think it?s great they have a foundation in your country to make it easier for people to go back to school, cause I know I cant afford to go back to school and I should because the TV industry riht now is really slow. Although I cant afford to attend another college or University its a game by the banks, they want to loan you money, then when you are done school you owe all this money.. Its all a Catch 22, and nobody will help anybody nowadays unless there is something in it for them, so all in all it sucks!
[u]Daniel:[/u] Military service is more important than education in modern society. I don't agree with this; it's just a fact. Education does little for the defense of each particular state, and having a strong army / whatever is probably the most important thing for most modern states. Personally, I think they're both just lubricants for the social machine, as I sit here in this institution of higher learning, but one is particularily more suited to the kind of violence most societies are geared towards. I think I could have worded this a little better, but I'm sure you understand.
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] Well for the "Ns" i think it is another goverment propaganda... There now that kids nowadays are more radical and can define "words" yes and no. So that why there start the "ns". Because they now that what happen in this country is just another "drama". So when they start doint this thing kids can be CONTROLLED, For the "ANSARA" answer, they need miilion bucks to educate kids that what they are doing is good, so they give them free stuffed and what so ever. Shame on them,lack of support for the 1st coz don't have enough $$$. Military service ? well i don think kids so excited to join that.. its just that they are afraid to be caught..so they join it. Military= Strict? what they wanted to do is they want ppl attention... that so called goverment is take a good care of a "children of the millenium"...
[u]Man: [/u]Nampaknya NS banyak membantu Bn menang pilihanraya 2004.Agenda untuk anak2 muda sering mendapat tempat di hati masyarakat"prihatin" yg amat risau akan masa depan. Dirogol, mati, selepas ini apa lagi yg nak dirahsiakan lagi.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] i think the national service is really sucks. they(government)forced teenagers who born from year 1986 to join the national service.i think the government had realized that theres a threat to fight against the government by the young people(and old..of course.)so they created these stupid national service to brainwash all the young people to make sure that they not fight against the government.they dont care much about education itself cos they know all parents will send their childrens to school or they will be penalty if not doing that.what they (government) really care nowaday is to recruit all the young people to "love" them.they only care about themself,their name and money.i also heard that in the next near future there will be something like pre-national service will be teach in school.ohh..thats was so horrible!more power to young people!(also the old one..hihi..).RESIST AND EXIST!
[u]Pam:[/u] In this age of neo-liberalism, there?re two categories to define the states based on economy system: the so-called First-World Countries and Third-World Countries. Malaysia and Indonesia categorized as the second type, who have to obey what First-World Countries want. There?re no needs for the Third-World Countries to educate their own people as long as they can supply the First-World Countries with ?good workers? who willing to work on their factories and corporations without any complain. If in some cases there is a resistance, the state need a ?good dog? to protect the corporate interest. It will take a long article to explain this thing, but I hope I can short it out with my answer.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] I'm ideologically opposed to national service as an infringement on the liberty of the draftees. We are not in any way under emergency conditions, and even then any restriction of liberty or increase of state power should be considered very carefully. Look at what's been happening under BUsh, where horrible domestic legislation has gone practically unnoticed because everyone's too busy watching the fireworks in Iraq. On the specifics of how the money is spent, this is an obvious and easy point to pick on. More interesting would be to look at how the wealth of the nation has decreased over the last 20 years. Then we had a massive, renewable source of national funds in the form of rainforests, oil, fish etc etc. We've built up some infrastructure (roads), mainly through tolls though, and we've improved our education system to a limited extent. But where's the rest of our money? Literally billions has disappeared.
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] Let me start my saying that I don't really know much about this situation. We don't have any real national service in the USA, but I am familiar with how many countries need their young people to populate the programs (so they set them up). In the USA, we have plenty of people in the armed forces, so it is highly unlikely that there will be another draft of citizens. We DO share the same problem of money being spent on military rather than education. This a problem that speaks to the very core of the world. Why is it more important to point guns than share ideas? When it comes to being afraid of our neighbors, we seem to be able to spend with reckless abandon while people go without other basic services. It is a shame that the only national service most countries have is one based on defense. I would be in support of a national community service, where young people were encouraged to do good works for their country, enhancing and enriching their neighbors' lives. It is truly unfortunate that the world's priorities seem to go against human enrichment.
[u]Isma:[/u] first they try to afraid the people about singapore,, then you have national service. I think it's all about politics and profit. Just imagine how many they will get from the day they start it from tax payer money. what a waste!! luckily i'm not a tax payer.. i heard there are many rape case from it thanks to those idiot on they're stupid cozy chair.. about the ANSARA thing... just imagine..if they help the poor kids to go to school.. they wil not get any cash.. because the money will be given to the poor and that is. But, if they use the money for National Service.. they will get some cash from National Service organiser.. the truth is they don't care about people or education or whatever... all they think is how the cash will be flow into they're pocket..
[u]Alex:[/u] Yeah! I share your sentiments regarding doing service or any of that crap. I don't believe that thousands of people should be forced to work especially if it is for war just because two people are in misunderstanding or whatever. By the way, the funds should go directly into something useful.
[b]5. What's your opinion to plastic images of models in some fashion magazines that being appeared gloriously to promoting those wasted crap product towards readers/spectators, which is after many years human condition (especially in this globalization era!) being measured by those media that they're not cool enough, not beautiful, not fit enough, not included in 'selected circles', not this, not that etc... so that they (human) will keep consume those product in order to get those cool, beautiful, fit etc just like the images of those 'appealed models' that they've exhibited? Not just the 'normal' people being hypnotized, as we can see randomly there are also have numbers of people in the scene which care too much about what they've to wear, to act etc for their outlook rather than care about the way of their thought which sometimes leads to hc/punk is more likely a fashion show that have a dress code to be followed which I can see is all pathetic. Need your views here.[/b]
[u]Elang:[/u] there is an adverstising. sorry, i dont understand your Q.
[u]Jeremy Othmer:[/u] Well first of all, all those stupid mags with stick figure models is all a bunch of bullshit anyways, its not reality! They say to me, Othmer why do you smoke some much weed, will its the only thing keeping me SANE right now! I have come to the realisation that people in this world are really, really STUPID! So its up to yourself to educate youself and not get brainwashed by these multi-billion dollar corps trying to get your money. Because those billion dollar coprs are paying some really smart people into trying to scam the stupid people. Dont be stupid! Dont buy stuff from any American company, dont watch American TV its all one big scam for your money. Those places dont care about you, or if you fit in your your group of people, they are telling you this so you buy their shit! Fuck'em if you need a certin type of pants or shirt to fit in, then you need some new friends. Be yourself be an individual!
[u]Dre:[/u] sometimes it's fun sometimes it's sick. Just follow what you want, even you have to break the rule. what does another says about your life is not your fuckin bussines.
[u]Daniel:[/u] I agree with you, no one is exempt from the pressure to consume an image, because that's how we all view each other: as objects with particular images, these defining our social identity. I think it's somewhat inescapable; no matter what we choose to look like, we are still putting thought into our image, right? I guess some images are more ethical than others, but, it's all image, and it's all part of this huge spectacle of images, and no matter what image you 'choose' to consume (bohemian rebel or chaos punk), you're still a consumer. And, like you said, hardcore punk has a dress code, and I fit into it, down to the MINOR THREAT patch on my butt. I guess the important thing is to be aware of this, and to raise dialogue about it (like you're attempting to do), but ultimately, confronting the concept of 'image' and 'identity' is fraught with contradictions and complications.
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] well just a simple words i gonna say is remember "fashion is for safety", The words TRUST means a lot this case... Trust to yrself. No need to follow others..:)
[u]Man:[/u] Tentang plastic images yang dipaparkan dalam fashion magazine dimana mereka bermain dengan bahasa semiotika pada pembikinan society of consumption (keupayaan untuk membeli dan memiliki).Apa yang dipaparkan dalam magazine/ads adalah gaya hidup yang dijual kepada konsumer dengan meletakkan nilai-nilai. Dalam dunia sekarang ini, imej mag/ads yang dipaparkan juga dipanggil "beauty Myth" iaitu memberikan definasi tentang beauty dan perfection, secara tidak langsung/langsung akan munculnya obsession untuk mendapatkan "physical perfection dan flawless beauty" yang memerangkap sesetengah/kebanyakan lelaki/perempuan.Ia terletak kepada setiap pilihan dan pentafsiran individu, maksud aku semua perkara ini adalah soal popular culture, ia akan terus bergerak linear, di sini individu atau consumer seharusnya ada kuasa untuk memilih dan menidakkannya. Orang "normal dan tak normal" adalah manusia yg ada potensi utk dipengaruhi oleh gaya. Bagi aku, ini soal identiti dan trend serta gaya hidup. Ada yang full time dan part time punk rocker,MTV rock star, ...siang ada kerja kat office, malam hang out+jamming+gigs+dialog etc...semua perkara ini amat menarik pada aku, kembali pada soal pilihan masing2.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] i think they watch too much t.v thats why they're acting like that.well,its depend to the individu to censor what they had read/watch thru the t.v/magazine,etc.there's so many products exist nowaday with so many brands but ended up with only one same product.they'll do anything as long as their products being sold.and the involvement of the media is so important here to help sell the products no matter its true or not.of course they get paid to do the crap.anyone who hypnotized will be the victim forever if they never realize it.now whose to blame?i think its depend to ourselves to make the decision.what's the use of brain if we dont use it to think?some peoples in the scene always like to copy how their favourite bands do.like how they act or dressed.some people like to dressed up too much when they attend gigs just to show to other peoples thats they're the fuckin' true.i think thats funny yet stupid.some dressed up according to the music they like.for example;if you're punk,you must wear like this,talk like this,drink this,act like this..etc.these just only the example but this thing is happens EVERYWHERE.like i said before,they watch too much t.v.maybe they watch mtv too much,then they mixed up with "wrong person".whom only care the "outside" more than "inside". finally,you know what will happens lah..
[u]Pam:[/u] We have to face the reality that almost all of the people around us lead their live in the emptiness and banalities. As the postmodern thinkers said that we?re all only interesting in the symbol not on the content in the age of late-capitalism, where capitalism already live on almost every aspects of our life, to reproduce the poverty of our everyday life. So, its hard for me to complain about how the so called hc punk kids tend to be fashionable manequins, its better to start to build a real community that broader than hc punk scene. Communities that communicate with a physical and emotional touch on life, not based on how much money we spend or we got.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] It can take a serious effort to remain unaffected by corporate OR anti-corporate images. Are you goth/ punk/ alternative enough? Never. So forget it. It ain't never gonna happen, you will never be the pinnacle of cool (even if you are the pinnacle of cool, you probably won't realise it). So stop striving for stuff you can't have. Concentrate on doing what you do. If you wear the right clothes, you're as much of an arse as someone who buys designer gear. If you wear your own clothes, that happen to be right, you're in charge of your life, not the fashion victims or designers.
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] Is that a question? Well, of course, the things you bring up suck. The pressure of media and our own insecurities will continue to do damage to us on this level. We need to love ourselves for who we are, and many images in media make that difficult. I do feel that people should be able to express themselves through their style in whichever way they want. Though I am only impressed with the ones that are honest, personal expressions. Fashion can be of interest, but I am an addict of function. So my personal style is based on functionality. But that is just me.
[u]Isma:[/u] actually i felt pity and sorry for them.. they just want to be accept by the media and other people. they think by consuming they can change they're life. But the thing is... they are dying working everyday and night just to consume.
[u]Alex:[/u] the media plays a big part in standardizing our views... Shit coz its all crap... beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...each of us has his or her own concept... so we should not believe any of the crap that the media pulls on us. We should be smart enough not to believe anything we hear or see.
[b]6. How much capitalist and multinational corporations have invaded your life? How much it has strengthened the value of your life instead? Are you financially ok?[/b]
[u]Elang:[/u] lots. and i wont to buy it all. because i will do not have time, place, life if i buy it all.
[u]Jeremy Othmer:[/u] No, Im an not financially OK! I have a college education with no job. Its funny cause the college promised me a job, they told me it was the best college, and the banks didnt hasitate to give me money, cause I figureed once I finnish college I will have this dream job and paying off my dept will be no problem! hahhaha good one! Every college and University is raping you, and the banks are the ones holding you down while you get raped till the day of graduation with a big smile on your face!
[u]Dre:[/u] capital stole my body but not my soul.
[u]Daniel:[/u] Capitalist and multi-national corporations have invaded most every aspect of my life. The computer that I type these anti-capitalist messages into, the stereo I listen to my techonophobic, luddite punk rock records on, the bed I sleep in, the food I eat. I am financially OK: Australia has a welfare system to support students with no financial income, and I have enough money to purchase the occasional record and eat well. But the 'value' of my life isn't in my ability to continue living without starving; life's 'value' is defined, I believe, by the strength of our social relationships, and capitalism is dedicated to weakening social relationships that are non-heirarchical, non-economic, non-exploitative. I see punk rock as an attempt to strengthen these social relations between people, to give us some sense of 'value' in life; Australia has had one of the highest rates of youth suicide in the world, and we are not a struggling, 'developing' nation, so perhaps that reveals the extent to which capitalism strengthens the value of life, right?
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] so much...and i now try to decrease it.....not so
[u]Man:[/u] Amat banyak, terutamanya apabila kehendak sudah menjadi keperluan. saya pikir ia saling bergantung antara satu sama yang lain yg saling bergantungan. Value...soal rewards and punishment, the value proposition states that the more valueable people find the results of their action, the more likely they are to perform that action. Duit sekejap ada, sekejap tak ada.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] i am always a broke person.i dont buy something thats not so important in my life.when i was still working before, half of my salary i used to support my living. u know,eating and other basic stuff.the other half i used for going to anywhere i want,like attending gigs or just meet friends.i dont buy branded and expensive clothes or shoes or whatever.i dont smoke and drink alcohol or hanging out at expensive palces.i always try to minimize everythings.so,i think its great i dont have so much link to the capitalism and multinationals.i like to wear simple clothes and running simple life..
[u]Pam:[/u] I?m financially okay without working overtime, that?s why I think I?m lucky enough. But you know, capitalists and corporate interests already invaded all of our life, especially when we have a child to rise. From milk, diapers, drugs, vitamins, educations, toys, and everything almost leave us without choice outside the corporate interests. We have to do more compromise that in a lot of times hurt us so much, but like I said before, almost there?re no choices. Except we have a strong community to back up each other life.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] I'm (currently) financially ok. It changes month to month (!). I buy petrol, books and music from large corporations, but make an active effort to avoid them. There are still wet markets around (also good because they have less plastic packaging), herbally Indian places for toothpaste and stuff, most cleaning products and even dog food you can make yourself (although I love Lysol for keeping nasty silverfish away from my books!).
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] Well, I am a middle class American living in the USA... so, obviously, the capitalist system which I live in has afforded me comforts. It is hard for me to guess what my life might be if I lived under another system other than capitalism, because there is none other I have been able to experience. I do enjoy the aspects of freedom that we have in this country, but I do not enjoy the damage multinational corporations are doing to our world. I vote with my dollar, by supporting locally owned businesses and groups working outside the norm. I buy all my food at a co-operative grocery store that stocks many local items. I avoid large chains and businesses that impede workers' rights and global balance.
[u]Isma:[/u] yeah.. first top capitalist invader in me are DUNHILL!!! sometimes I felt stupid for consume it(I am stupid).. I agree with some people said i am addicted to it... and I guess I am weak to deny the capitalism.. shit!!! me financially ok? i always broke.. my friend.. can you send me a dollar per word i write here,hhahhaha
[u]Alex:[/u] Since the day we were born...all of us were subjected to capitalist exploitation... from the foods we eat to the clothes we wear to the so called formal education we 're supposed to take. I think we couldn't escape from this whole capitalist thing...unless we throw all our possessions away and live simply as a monk...
[b]7. We take a step into global issue now, and it?s getting even cliche then. What?s your opinion towards what has happens in between USA and Iraq lately?[/b]
[u]Elang:[/u] i love//love. not war.
[u]Jeremy Othmer:[/u] Well its really fucked up, because the main reason was to stop weapons of mass distruction, when they didnt find any. The mission was to get Saddam, then when they found him the mission was to free Iraq! I say get the americans out of Iraq and let them fit among themselves, but then you get those fucking idiot terrorist bombers all over the world. I mean these people are really fucked up! The US is trying to help them and they dont wanna be helped, so I have kill'em all!! Fuck'em if they wanna live like that, killing people, and everything else fuck'em! I had pitty on them for a long time, I was against all the US invasion shit! But now I just think they are all fucked, and they need to advance in society. Its all one big mess, and I dont know what the hell is in the water in the middle east but it aint good, ohh wait they dont even have water!
[u]Dre:[/u] it's just a game of image! but it's sadistic
[u]Daniel:[/u] I would say to both nations what George Bush addressed the Iraqi people: "your enemy is not surrounding your country, your enemy is ruling your country".
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] just another us propaganda... religion is just a words the most of it they want to have the "oily gold in the country"
[u]Man:[/u] Penaklukan di Iraq amat memalukan utk sebuah kuasa besar. Baru2 ini apa yg menarik adalah tentang re-designed bendera Iraq yg dpt tentangan dr rakyat mereka sendiri. Simbol sebuah negara kembali dipertikai dan dipersoal serta dipertahankan "kemuliannya".
[u]Zeezam:[/u] i dont know what is really happens rite there.but it seems like USA want to conquer everythings from iraq.from oil to economy.after invading iraq,they now slowly want to reconstruct it.after that they'll send corporate businessman and their company to make some investment in iraq to build factories of their multinational product and force the iraqis to work in the factories with low pay.some of them who work there have no choice cos any works that that do before already gone because of war.everythings had been destroyed!they have to do the work to get money to feed their family.and the rich become richer while the poor getting poorer.i dont know if theres a or more conspiracy between bush and saddam,maybe YES,maybe NOT.im not sure 'bout that buat what im really sure is that USA government and their stupid president is really fukkin' GREED!
[u]Pam:[/u] Yes, its so cliché¬ including my answer. Its just about corporate economic agenda. Wherever there is a war, there are billions dollar projects for corporations. War is just about profit.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] They have massive problems. What can I do about it? Very little. I can lend support by writing letters etc, but that's it. On the other hand, I have far more direct influence over the torture and abuse that happens here in our prisons, the war-mongering (look at our defence budget!) and passive support the Malaysian government has, say over Burma and in the Aceh conflict. Malaysians for peace, where? Anywhere as long as we can safely condemn others and not examine ourselves.
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] It is frustrating for me to have a leadership that behaves with such recklessness on the world stage. The current foreign policy has made us enemies of the world, and for a cause that constantly changes. We threw diplomacy to the wind and rushed in full force. The motives of President Bush's administration are hard to figure out. First they claimed we needed to invade because of the links to Al Queda then the weapons of mass destruction?and neither of those things were true. Currently, they talk about liberating the people of Iraq (which I don't believe was a concern for them). It is a messy, complicated situation that I fear will only get worse in the coming months. I do not believe that Bush's administration has a clear plan of how to handle the mess they have created... and that makes things scary for everyone.
[u]Isma:[/u] when this shit are going to stop..I just get tired... people dying and all they can think is power...
[u]Alex:[/u] The US is a fuckin' superpower and its like everyone is afraid of them...Fuck, coz I've seen the footages of the fuckin' abuse and maltreatment of the US soldiers to Iraqui prisoners... the beatings, rape, and all... all I can say the US government better take a look at this, they should not tolerate such or any acts of human rights violation...
[b]8. When speaking about moral, anyone will picture it as something has dealt with good and bad thing. So, how you picture ?moral? by yourself? Is moral actually is a set of mind built by society at large or individual themselves have setting about the level standard of the moral itself? Is it such a collective agreement had been made towards what moral actually is? So what happens to the individuality back then? What?s up with the ?immoral? though?[/b]
[u]Elang:[/u] i always look for somebody moral from his/her behavior. if he/she has a good moral, of course he/she has a good behavior...
[u]Jeremy Othmer:[/u] He if you dont know your moral now in life, then you must be a bad person. The only moral you need to know is dont do to others, what you wouldn?t done to you.
[u]Dre:[/u] I make my own morality. I have my own moral standard. But sometimes moral is the only word that you can't trust.
[u]Daniel:[/u] Oh man, you picked a band time to pass this question on, I'm halfway through a dreadfully complex collection of writings by Nietszche on 'morality', and as far as I can tell, it's pretty much fucked my brain on the entire concept. I don't believe there is any universal moral law, or immoral law, that is as much as I can say right now. Morality is a structure used by weak people to defend their power over other people is all I can say right now. I'm too influenced by the Neech, I'm afraid!
[u]Aedie Azrul:[/u] speaking about moral? well 1st just be urself and trust in urself and 2nd is the ppl.. try to understand 1st rather then just "follow the Leader"
[u]Man:[/u] The Morality Trap is the belief that you must obey a moral code created by someone else...Morality is a powerful word.Perhaps even more powerful is the word immoral. In an attempt to avoid being labelled immoral, many people allow themselves to be manipulated by others. (teks dari The Morality Trap, Harry Browne). Bagi aku, moral adalah satu tindakan yg memberikan kegembiraan dari akibat/kepentingan yang ada. Ada personal, universal dan absolute morality. Personal lebih kepada self-directed,tindakan peribadi, kepentingan dan akibat dari perbuatan/tindakan utk/pada diri sendiri,lebih kepada eksploration journey/learn from your own experience. Tak perlukan arahan atau nasihat dari org lain. You are responsible for what happens to you( even if someone else offers to accept that responsibility), because you're the one who'll experience the consequences of your acts. Moral universal lebih kepada pengalaman dari org lain, pemberi nasihat/moralist bertujuan mengingatkan org lain melalui pengalamannya. its like a code of conduct that is presumed to bring happines to anyone who uses it. Ia membuatkan seseorang menjadi takut utk mencuba sesuatu kesan dari akibat yg bakal ditempuh. An absolute morality is a set of rules to which an individual is expected to surrender his own happines. Its comes from an authority outside of the individual, from someone or somewhere more important than the individual him/herself. It proposes that the individual should be "moral" regardless of the consequences to him/herself. In other words, doing what is "right" is more important than one's happines. Seperti dogma agama, rukunegara segala undang2 dari otoriti. There no way someone else can become your authority; ultimately the decision will be yours in choosing the morality you'll live by- even if you choose to site someone else(you've chosen) as the authority of your acts....However, it will be you deciding for yourself whether any of these consequences will result and wheter any of them are important to you.
[u]Zeezam:[/u] yes.moral is a set of mind built by society at large inherited by their ancients from mouth to mouth story or by book,especially history one lah.from my experience,anywhere i go,i always heard that people easily labeling other people as an immoral(bad) or with moral(good) by the way they dressed,talk or act.they dont know much about them but easily labeling them this and that.for me,moral is something start in mind.the way we think is moral and it will affect what we do then.but i dont think so moral got to do with how we look or wear.people who wear smart(read:with moral) sometimes can be/act immoral by the way of their thinking.for example,politicians and cops.so,its up to you to set your own moral...
[u]Pam:[/u] I like to remember what Nietszche think about moral, that everyone have their own morality, but we don?t have to force our own morality to others even we must have a will to power to stay alive in this world with no universal morality.
That?s where individuality lives, but to live with other who have their own morality we need more than a will to power called irony or perhaps let?s say dialogue. This is one more question that I think I can?t give a short answer; I need a full article to explain this.
[u]Sonia Randhawa:[/u] Morality begins and ends when I start causing someone pain, or more specifically pain that they haven't asked for. That has to be regulated. Anything else is my own business, and keep your nose out. Society has no business regulating my sexuality, my health or my tendency to pick my nose. It does have the right and duty to regulate my tendency to pollute, to litter and to chop down trees. But the state is too busy examining who's holding hands with whom to worry about who's killing off our future.
[u]Lisa Oglesby:[/u] Moral and immoral are constructs of the mind and our society. I do not believe that there is an actual right or wrong, but I do have things that I have decided are right or wrong based on my world view. many people get their morality from religion. That is outdated, and of no interest to me. I prefer to come up with my own answers. True, I tend to come up with a morality typical for a liberal westerner, but I cannot totally escape my cultural conditioning. The world would be an easy place if everyone agreed on morality, but it certainly would be a boring one as well.
[u]Isma:[/u] I think moral is just the same as ethics. to me.. moral is about our ownselves. it is the way we choose our life.. our behavior.. the way we think.. like.. If the system claim it is wrong to smoke a dope. If you smoke a dope.. it is immoral/unethical for the system but to you it is okay or whatever.. we can set the moral standard..but we cannot set one moral/ethical standard... immoral.. is depend on you actually.. if you think stealling is immoral.. it is immoral.. if you think it is okay.. it will be immoral to others but it is still okay/good to you.. the point is.. it is you who decide what is good or bad.. just like bush attacking iraq.. it is a good moral for him to attacking people. But it is immoral to me..
[u]Alex:[/u] The way we think is influenced by so many things... but primarily by the way we were brought up in our home and the lifestyle we live despite the pressures of society that wants us to give in to shit... For me, morality is relative.. what appears morally right today may not anymore be the case tommorrow so we should all stick to waht we believe what is right and not take all the shiity values that other people think is right. Believe in yourself.. you have the power to change...

| 05.12.04 (10:59 am) [edit] |
[b]1. Hi Jon Chang! How are you these days? What are you doing now since Discordance Axis had broke up? Any history about the tragic missing of Discordance Axis?[/b]
Well these days I work for an animation company. I write, storyboard, and direct 3d animated films. I also model and design levels for video games. Presently I have 3 major projects in the works. The only one I am discussing at this time is Scratch Trigger Era. STE is an all out action/comedy "anime" that's...unusual. It has a lot of action...almsot like a kung fu movie but with giant robots and guns haha The series also has some dramatic elements and a deep story...If I had to make a comparison to existing stuff, I'd say FLCL meets Otaku No Video meets The Good the Bad and The Ugly meets Hardboiled...:P. My company Studio Grey is currently producing this series in conjunction with an animation company called face2face animation... You can check out the trailer at http://www.f2f-inc.com/downlo... Of the other projects, one is a live action series and the other a video game. Neither title is announced yet. Muscially, I do a thrash metal band with the guitar player of Mortalized, that specializes in old style Japanese metal sped up to modern day thrash speeds. I also sing for War Chalking, which is a band with Dave Witte(former D.A.), Steve Procopio (former D.A. tour member and Human Remains) and Ted Patterson (former Human Remains). War Chalking is more grind style music but it's very different than the stuff we did in D.A. I'm not sure how D.A. fans will like it. The first War Chalking track will be available on an upcoming D.A. CD titled "One More Final", which has covers of D.A. songs by several bands as well as some remixes and rare D.A. tracks (like our unreleased "Sega Bass Fishing" cover)
[b]2. How old are you now? I do believe that you have your own daily job.. how you separate your time between job and scene activities?[/b]
Well I never was invovled in the scene or any social activities. I'm a work-a-holic. When I'm not at work I work on my own stuff. That includes research, writing, drawing, etc. Presently I am 30 years old.
[b]3. You're doing some artworks yourself right? Also some of Discordance Axis releases being decorated with your art, what makes you come up with the ideas to make those artworks?[/b]
Well everything has unique inspiration. I can't really cite a specific influence. Sorry ^_^
[b]4. I do concern with the simplisitic yet futuristic sounds and the complexity yet jazzy musical structures delivered by Discordance Axis... and the lyrics had been written is way too deep for me... sometimes the words play with some metaphor that made it just like a work of poem for me... how long does it take to make songs like that? How much time consume Discordance Axis to finish a complete set of LP/CD etc?[/b]
Well TID took quite a while. 2 years to write it and about 2 years of writing before I even heard the music...A lot of the DA lyrics were written before the songs and then I would go back and adjust lyrics to what Dave and Rob wrote. With War Chalking the music took Steve 2 years and me about 1 year to write the 1 song. With the new thrash band I just got the first track and I've been working on it about a week? It's tough because I want everything to be in Japanese like Sex Machineguns, Loudness or Mephistophles ^_^
[b]5. Where does Dave Witte now? Do you still keep in touch with him? Or is there have any band with him been built since Discordance Axis has disbanded? War Chalking? Tell me how it sounds look a like.[/b]
Well Dave moved away so I rarely see/talk to him. He does Burnt By The Sun now full-time. War Chalking is a project for him. Me and Steve are much to slow to make that a full-time band haha. As for War Chalking, I can't really explain it. I'll post a sample when we get the song recorded ^_^
[b]6. I'm still wondering, what's Jouhou actually? Pikudorei.. what's that? Sometimes Pikudorei reminds me to the noise act from Japan, Nikudorei. Any connection with the person behind Nikudorei itself?[/b]
Jouhou means information. I saw it at the end of a Japanese news cast and liked how it sounded. Pikadourei means Slave of Bright/Joy. I made the name up when I did a collaboration show with Nikudourei once. I also love Pikachu and I am his servant ^O^
[b]7. 'The Inalienable Dreamless' LP/CD still remains one of the best of many grindcore releases throughout history for me. Is that the final release of Discordance Axis? Do you still working with Hydrahead?[/b]
D.A. isn't planning on writing another LP. Both War Chalking and the new thrash band I'm doing will be released on Hydrahead.
[b]8. Concerning to the 3 way split with Corrupted and 324 released by HG Fact.. i feel the out put of it was pale as i assumed that wasn't the best of Discordance Axis as there only 2 songs being delivered. Need your comment and explanation here.[/b]
We originally planned to record 2 more songs, but Rob's health was so bad he couldn't play more than 1. Actually though I really like Ikaruga and Berserk. I think Ikaruga is our best song overall ^_^
[b]9. Are you considered yourself political? Did Discordance Axis a political band? How about your new band? Is it still walking through the exact same line like the way Discordance Axis had been conducted?[/b]
D.A. went through a lot of changes. Some of the subjects early on were very political but as time went on I wrote things that were more personal to myself. I feel my older lyrics are very poor in general because they are very superficial and really not very risk or open, like good art should be. The new bands are totally different than D.A. I don't want to keep doing the same stuff again and again.
[b]10. How about political condition in your place when concerning to the cultural activites, daily life, the system, the people etc. Are you financially stable? Do you find it hard to keep on living in the New Jersey? Have you been involved in street protest lately?[/b]
Well life is a lot of waves. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. Now I'm very happy and doing well. I haven't been to a street protest in a long time...I was at a gathering about 3 days after 9/11 in Jersey City. There was a candle light vigil to remember the dead. Actually I didn't even know it was happening. At the time I had no job and was volunteering to help organize/load supplies for the emergency workers in NYC. I got back from a run into Manhattan and the entire waterline was filled with people holding candles.
[b]11. What is favourite food? Tell me some worth bands to check out from your hometown. Do you like reading books/zines? Tell me your favourite one. I do believe that you have your own favourite list of bands, mind to tell me?[/b]
Hmmm fav food these days is vegetarian duck panag ^_^. I read lot of books and magazines but I don't have a favorite really. Time is pretty good overall though. I don't really like too many bands. Mostly I listen to Slayer, Sex Machineguns, Mephistophles, Melt Banana, Mortalized and World. I like a lot of film and video game soundtracks too.
[b]12. Do you consume drugs? Beers? Are you vegetarian/vegan?[/b]
No, no and vegetarian ^_^
[b]13. Tell me your opinions about the condition of mother earth nowadays. As it slowly down to rot, what's thing come to your mind that you think deserved to be heard by all those evil-richness-scumbag that keep continuously sucking those mineral greedily out from the soil?[/b]
We live in a technologically advanced time and even if solar or HE-3 or hydrogren could be harnessed for reusable clean fuel source, it would still take decades to switch everyone over. It's a very tough problem with no easy solution. Clearly pollution needs to be addressed as aggressively as possible and money needs to be channeled into clean energy research. But that's always the problem, right? Money. In the US there are a lot of initiatives for clean energy transportation and we've seen maybe 2-3% of the market switch over. This trend will increase as gas prices rise. Once again, money driving things...I think it's the nature of the world unfortuantely. People are ultimatley very selfish and have a tendency to see only their surroundings. Even if they can see beyond their horizon, what will they have to sacrifice to try and make life easier for others? Why should they? What ties people together? Ask yourself, would you die for a stranger? Would you give up a measure of your comfort for someone else you've never even met? For most people, the answer is no. I think over population drives the demand for these resources. Some people are saavy enough to take advantage of this. Life is full of taking advantage of other people. I often wonder what even defines good and bad? Is it religion? Or state? Or ??? Our personalities are all developed by exposure to others... This is an impossible question to answer really.
[b]14. Your future plan? Any plan about making a 'come back' for Discordance Axis soon?[/b]
Continue to work and develop my different projects... I don't think we'll ever do D.A. again.
[b]15. After years you get involved in this phenomenon called 'scene', what you've got through this? What you've expected to gain in the first place when you've decided to entered in before? What made you interested to get involved? What's the condition that you hope for to be adapted and to be practiced logically/practically in this grindcore scene?[/b]
Hmmm I really have no idea about scenes or cliques. I am not a very social person. I don't like being around other people very much. Not to mention, in our area no one liked our style of music so I really didn't talk to or associate with anyone in to this music except for letters and later on e-mail.
[b]16. Which shows you played enjoying a lot all these while? Discordance Axis had played at the Slap A Ham's Fiesta Grande festival. Did you find it something like 'very special' show to be played with as there are many 'extreme sounds' that have similar characteristic gathered and people from almost everywhere will come and see?[/b]
Well the shows I really enjoyed playing were mostly in Japan. It was also the only place that we played that I felt the bands were on the same area as us. Bands played nothing but fast and had all their emotion in the music. America, by contrast, was mostly bands playing short spurts of fast stuff and then a lot of mosh parts in between. When we played in Japan I got to see bands that were really into the same style as us...Gore Beyond Necropsy, Senseless Apocalypse, SOB, 324, Melt Banana, Multiplex, Ruins, Mortalized, and many others. It was also very exciting to play with these bands because after seeing them we wanted to play harder and faster because their energy inspired us. I personally didn't really care about playing the Fiesta Grande to be honest. Rob and Dave were the ones who wanted to do it and oddly Rob quit the band before we went haha Actually at that time I was so pissed off in general I didn't really want to do anything haha I have to say that my performances in Japan in 97 were very good mostly because I hated doing the band at that point and I was so angry at everything all the time. But there was a turning point, when I saw "Evangelion:Death Evangelion:Rebirth" at a theater in Osaka my entire perspective about music/art changed. In many ways that work saved my life. I owe Hideaki Anno and the people at Gainax a lot for that.
[b]17. What’s your opinion on marriage and on having children? Did you find it necessary as a bond for a couple to keep on living together? Or is it such a state of mind (or psychology) in proving that they are already shared their life?[/b]
Hmmm well I don't really have an opinion. If people want to get married, have kids and take care of them, that's great for them. Unfortunately a lot of people take on this responsibility to lightly I think. I'm not ready or very interested in either marriage or children. Maybe I havn't found the right lady yet ^_-
[b]18. As being an ‘american’, how you feel about the recent issue of US government getting involved on attacking the Iraq in the first place? [/b]
Well Saddam Hussein was clearly not an ideal "leader" of the Iraqi people from the position of many people living in Iraq or the USA. Should the US have gone to war to depose him? I think so. Unfortunately I think we should've dealt with this as far back as the first President Bush. His power base is largely a result of US backing and we had a responsibility to try and repair the damage we did to that country by backing him in the first place. In today's day and age, I do believe that the US still should've gotten rid of Hussein but I also think we have let our responsibilities in Afghanistan slide as a result of our presence in Iraq. Afghanistan is a nation in dire need of help. I do think Bush Jr. has tried to vastly simplify the issue of "terrorism" and the new war between the lines, a matter that is so incredibly complex I have no ideas in how to approach a resolution, and his solutions are not working very well. I didn't vote for him in 2000 and I will not vote for him in 2004 as I do believe he is the wrong man to be leading America. These recent explosions of violence in Iraq point to a lot of different things. Up to this point a lot of the anti-US violence has been carried out by insurgents exported from other Muslim nations. This is very similar to what happened in Afghanistan during the 1980s. Theocratic Muslim nations such as Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. emptied out their jails and sent some of their worst elements off to jihad. (The French did something similar in Vietnam when they exported former Nazi/SS troops to Vietnam where they brutalized the countryside.) I have recently devoted a great deal of study to this matter, trying to elarn as much about the history of Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan as possible as well as trying to understand the origins and motivations of the players invovled. Wars based on money, religions and blood lines shame the human race as a whole, yet we continue to indulge in these affairs time and time again. I wish I could believe there was another way other than bloodshed, but it seems like there isn't. So much fall out from the cold war still continues to consume human lives with every passing day. But there is noerasing the past. We must figure out a way to deal with these probelms we face today before we descend into another cold war, if we have not already found oruselves there.
[b]19. What's your opinion to plastic images of models in some fashion magazines that being appeared gloriously to promoting those wasted crap product towards readers/spectators, which is after many years human condition (especially in this globalization era!) being measured by those media that they're not cool enough, not beautiful, not fit enough, not included in 'selected circles', not this, not that etc... so that they (human) will keep consume those product in order to get those cool, beautiful, fit etc just like the images of those 'appealed models' that they've exhibited? Not just the 'normal' people being hypnotized, as we can see randomly there are also have numbers of people in the scene which care too much about what they've to wear, to act etc for their outlook rather than care about the way of their thought which sometimes leads to hc/punk is more likely a fashion show that have a dress code to be followed which I can see is all pathetic. Need your views here.[/b]
Well we are all measured every moment of our lives by every person we meet. In turn we do the same to others. It's unavoidable. We measure each other in different terms. Everyone's personality/fashion/style always comes from someone else, there is always a past influnece of someone who you measure yourself by.
[b]20. Ok, Jon Chang.. i think that's enough for me to ask you. Anything left to say or something to add? Mind to asking me one question about something you'd like to know? Please state your latest address to be contact please. Thanks for the attempt to answer this interview and allow me to made this set of questions for you. Your participation is highly appreciated. Keep on grinding! Thank you.[/b]
Well my creative group, Studio Grey, is working on a lot of new projects we hope people will be interested in.

What Is Politics?
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense, "
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."

sludge? sape suka sludge? satu aliran muzik yang unik. susah nak cakap camner. senang citer aliran ni banyak terpengaruh pada campuran muzik 'dark and gloom metal' ataupun dipanggil sebagai 'doom' berentak perlahan, lalu diserikan sentuhan 'stoner rock' ala Black Sabbath dan disebatikan etikanya melalui arena hc/punk... rencahnya begitulah.

hari ini seperti biasa. seperti kebanyakan hari yang lainnya. balik kerja pukul 8.00 malam, setelah jam 12.00 tengahari aku masuk kerja. kerjaku diganggu serba sedikit dengan emosi ingin mencari pekerjaan yang lain... serasa diri sudah dipergunakan... tidak keterlihatan pada mata kasar... pada mata dasar... bak kata orang, "hati menangis siapa yang tahu?". menangiskah? benarkah? lewat jam 6.00 petang, saudara lee dan jem menjengah ke tempat kerjaku... gembira dan terhibur sedikit hati aku... malah terkadang, inginku upah mereka ini utk membuat lawak setiap hari barang sehari dua duduk bersamaku... mata dasar melihat perbualan kote sedang berlangsung, mati hati berkata,"ah! itu semua penawar hati yang lara antara mereka". sekian.
*hati ini lara lagi.
