i am 15 i would rather fight in a war and be branded a murder then be killed by a explosion from a toerrorist considering that is what martyr means, but by the base meaning of this song i believe, we should help each other not kill each other
@nohandlebars233 A martyr isn't generally someone who dies in a random explosion. They're someone who dies as a victim of systematic oppression against their beliefs and becomes a catalyst for a larger movement.
This song is a nod to recent nonviolent movements, e.g. in Egypt, which were sparked by an act of martyrdom in Tunisia. The martyrs vs. murders line is simply saying that being killed in defense of a cause does more for justice in this world than killing for any cause ever has.
@TTTTTJJJJJJJJ Rather he would find another medium, another way for him to hurt you. We get rid of religion, become persecuters, probably causing another war. But thats beside the point, the fact is we would just find another way to express the flaws our flesh has endowed in us, and our society and media promotes.
so I live by the bible when it says judge no one. I live by the bible when it says love all. So dont be so quick to discriminate, or you become like the hypocritical Christians that give us a bad name.
One thing is constant in all the categories you named: humanity. We are flawed, self destructive beings. Getting rid of religion wont break the cycle, just like taking a rock from a man who wants to hurt you wont stop him from trying again.
@insertuberusername You know what? You're right, i shouldn't be discriminating towards all christians. And not to add to what i've said before, but it seems like everytime somebody brings up my religion, i normally get attacked for it. It's not that all christians are bad, i just have bad experiences with the majourity of who i've talked to. So i do apologize for not wording that correctly, but i hope you understand that i didn't mean it how i said it. (continueing)
@insertuberusername There are some very nice christians out there, and i appreciate the fact that you do your best to follow the moral code of the bible. In all honesty it is a great book with some valid points, it just makes me frustrated that people only base their lives around it when they need leeway in an arguement. So i use it back. Sorry for coming off in a bad way sir/madame (and please understand i cannot tell genders by youtube names)
Dudes, I'm a Christian trying restore my religion back to what is was meant to be. A philosophy where you served your fellow man and cared little about your own material gain. I am disappointed that my religion has become what it has but I simply want to open your eyes to something. you guys are doing what were agianst: discriminating. you guys are assuming that since I am a christian I will oppress you. I'm dating an atheist, I walk my talk.

@TTTTTJJJJJJJJ It will take a lot to destroy religion. Also people are ignoren't like I am persecuted for not believing in god and i am only 13 so 13 years old are being raised by there parents to hate anyone not of there religion.
@zombieman48 Hello my fellow non-christian :) (agnostic here, but athiesm is definately with my believes). I just want to tell you the best ways to stick up for yourself against christian biggots is to read the bible. It sounds like bullsh**, but trust me, if you know the right verses, all they can do is defy their own religion. To help; 1 Timothy 2:11, Ephesians 5:5 and 6:5-12, Matthew 5-7 (those are both chapters) and even the 10 commandments.
@Cestdesconneries Thanks. Good to know I am not the only Atheist in the world. Also I tried that once ,but they said I am a hypocrite for reading the bible and not believing in god. Oh well there good people its just the way they are being raised by there parents. I try to stay away from religious topics and the only reason I got into this one is because one of my friends said he was atheist when they asked what he was. So i decided to come to his rescue since he was losing the debate.
@zombieman48 Well when they call you a hypocrite for reading it, ask if they read it, and mention that you read for information on debate. Most christians don't read their own damn book and it pays off for us :) and if they do call you a hypocrite, tell them "I'm the hypocrite? I follow my morals, you talk about being christian but don't follow your own rules" and then point out different verses pertaining to that person. Plus "the devil is in all arguements" so they loose anyways:)
@zombieman48 But good job on sticking up for your friend! It is good to avoid drama like that too, but sometimes you can't help but to get into that, all depends on your pride (thankfully with the commandments, they're not aloud to have any XD ) But yea, if you ever need some type of comeback or advice, feel free to message me man.,but again, don't make it a conversation, just give them the information
@zombieman48 Those verses are the ones christians generally tend to ignore because they're against how we've been living our lives as human beings. Don't make it a debate either, simply mention those facts. You will have to read, but trust me, it pays off. I live in the damned bible belt (christians are HORRIBLE here), and using their book against them tends to be the best way to argue. Stay away from topics that can't be proven either way (like space) stay true good friend :)
It's not about which country is best. I'm American, but even wars in which we defend aren't good wars. It would be better if everyone just put down their guns, but politicians or military leaders don't care.
@jonmina123 well, the lyrics say "we'd rather make our children martyrs than murderers" and since it's anti-war, to me that translates to "we'd rather have our children killed by terrorists than fight back against cruelty and terror" I get the anti-war message, which i guess is fundamentally good though naive, but the way they choose to convey it is rather "gay"
can any of you give my friends band a listen?... sol monkeyz... go listen to them you wont be disappointed! comment as u wish! thank you to all of u who take the time to listen!
That's the most aggressive surrender that I've ever heard. But, aggressive or not, a surrender is still a surrender. And those who surrender will become slaves. And I'll never make my children become slaves.
Im a huge rise against fan, they changed my life and made me see everything in a different way. Flo bots i listened to a few years ago every day, now i listen to them every now and again, but now that i have heard this song im defiantly listening to them every day!!!
You know.. im proud of my extra teeth, i dont care if everyone say that its disgusting, he is my son, my creation, my honor, and i have just named him Damian, like his father :)
It's a fight for the soul of America, and that's what Flobots have been rappin about the entire time. America has lost it's conscience and it's up to us to live our lives with a sense of the greater good and not support ideas, plans, legislation that turns our kids into murders. Spread the word with any one that can listen, whether they agree with you or not. Speak the truth and eventually the truth will be heard. We can save the soul of America if everyone takes action.
@LibertyInsurgency1 Ok they speak about america but they speak for the whole western world..... look at whats happening the gap between rich and poor is just sad and equality no longer exists. Near 3 million jobless in england a country of 60 million 1/20th of the population out of work, thats 1 in 14 (eligable to work of pre retirement age) out of work.... RISE
@LibertyInsurgency1 Exactly. America needs those of us who believe that we can be at once martially strong and still work for peace, that we can cultivate strength and the exceptional while still holding that all persons of all races, genders, and sexualities are created equal.
If you like the message follow the idea of it. Get together against the true enemy of the U.S. the Federal Govt. they have already discharged me from the military for the things me and my friends have been setting up so fuck em. get together w/ sum bricks an gasoline an prepare to fuck shit up. But beware they are watching always.
Flobots are an awesome band and this is an epic song. I also love that they chose Tim to sing in this song since he adds a completely new dimension to the song even though it already is epic as hell. Flobots and Rise Against FTW!
white flag warrior: just like in the music video for hero of war, where the guy paints his face white as a sighn of peace, the colour white represents peace, just like they say, 'we'd rather make our children marders than murderers
...I really want to like this song. However, I think the writers don't have a firm grasp on what they're saying means. A white flag represents surrender. A martyr is someone who suffers. The chorus needs some work.
@LadyAliara a martyr is someone who suffers for a good cause, so when they say they would rather make their children martyrs then murders they would rather them suffer for a good cause than fight and kill for it.
Someone should really play this type of music in front of the white house in order to get the point across to those bastards. On a side note the way I look at world peace is like this: you cannot have peace w/out chaos, if there is good there will ALWAYS be evil to balance it. If everyone would first be at peace with themselves, then they can share the peace w/ those around them
I guess i just like them for the way they sound. Not what they stand for or their song's lyrics. Although there is somethings i do agree with them on.
@TheRevantproduc I don't believe that Liberal philosophies are right. They call our troops murderers when they have no right to. Nobody has the right to judge anybody until you've been in their shoes. Liberals are also anti-America, yet they choose to live and protest all over American soil.
@daltaBIYOTCH Any liberal idiot would say that, anybody with sense would blame those who create war, not the poor soldiers who have to fight them.
Anti-Ameria? should they bail, or fight to make things right? You shouldnt be neither, nations are bullshit, pride has nothing to do with nationality. The people don't like how the system works, because obviously it's not a fair system. But, we all got our views.
I find people who arent liberal selfish, and theyre usally filthy rich
@TheRevantproduc -.- (sighs). You call liberals idiots and non- liberals selfish. Your obviously a liberal because you said my taste in music is trying to make me see what's right. So since your a liberal and liberals are idiots, like you said, then why should I believe anything you say? If your an idiot your probably wrong about most everything so what I'm getting from your comment is I should believe and do the exact opposite of what you say. I'll go ahead and do that. ;)
P.S. in this song I'm pretty sure one of the lyrics was 'We're something something not murderers' so they're blaming it on the soldiers. Unless you consider the people ordering the soldiers to kill are the murderers. Either way you'd still be calling the soldiers murderers because they are the ones actually killing the person. They don't really have a choice when they're being ordered but technically they are the ones physically killing the other
@daltaBIYOTCH "soldiers dont have a choice".......dont join the army for one if its WW2 then i have respect but for the wars atm they are pointless the wars are not needed because noone is randomly invading and attacking other countries (apart from america)
@PinkNinjaNews I see your point and for the most part I agree. Iraq and Afghanistan were pointless. Vietnam however may seem pointless but we were there for a reason... Our allies the French got massacred for being in the wrong country. Not sure why they were there in the first place but unfortunatly they were. They got massacred because they couldn't win a war if God helped them, then because they were our allies we invaded Vietnam. And Korea, we were there for a reason as well but I
@daltaBIYOTCH no we lost Vietnam because politicians decided they were going to dictate how to fight and where to fight the war. you cannot win wa war if you do not have the backbone to fight it.
@TheRevantproduc person so technically if you call the people ordering our troops to kill murderers, you are in fact calling our troops murderers as well.
If every non- liberal was selfish and rich there would be very little good in the world and most everyone would be wealthy. In fact if every non- liberal was selfish, like you said they are, then there wouldn't be very much poverty in the world because most everyone would be rich. And if everyone was rich there really wouldn't be too much more reason to be liberal so no one would be liberal. So it would end up where there's no liberals and everyone is selfish and rich but
@TheRevantproduc if everyone was rich then being selfish wouldn't exist anymore because there wouldn't be any reason to not be selfish and help people because they wouldn't need help if they were wealthy. And if everyone was wealthy, crime rate would go down because no one would try to steal anymore because they'd be rich enough to buy what they wanted, nobody would rape because they could just pay people to deliver they're sexual needs (or they could just get a girlfriend and be normal) but if
@TheRevantproduc people were normal they wouldn't rape in the first place. We would still have crimes though. The crime rate would just drop quite a bit. There would still be murder and some would still rape and steal because they're cheap (not selfish, there's a difference between cheap and selfish. Selfish people don't care about others, cheap people care too much about they're money and are afraid to spend it however with cheapness usually comes selfishness and vice versa. But anyway if you
@TheRevantproduc think about it, the world just might be a better place if liberalism. And by the way liberals aren't the only non- selfish people. Most everyone cares for their fellow man liberal or not so with that said people who aren't liberal wouldn't all be selfish so actually crime rate would drop to almost nothing if everyone was non- liberal or as you put it selfish and rich. So as you can see liberals are the bad and the scum of the world because they're extremely ignorant and hard
@TheRevantproduc headed. But people can change and hopefully someday liberals will realize that they aren't helping the world very much and that their philosophies aren't all correct. Possibly some, but definatly not all. Thanks for your time and I hope I've gotten through to you and you realize now that liberalism isn't the right path to take.
@TheRevantproduc You must not have read ALL EIGHT of the replies I sent you. I wasn't just talking about why liberalism isn't correct. I was saying that not all non- liberals are selfish, and that you called yourself an idiot in one of your previous comments so I probably shouldn't believe anything you say. Also I said that liberals technically do blame the soldiers for wars. I don't know if you heard but a huge liberal protest went on, in Chicago I think, after our troops came home from
@TheRevantproduc And I actually did give an argument about why liberalism isn't correct. I said the world would be a better place without liberalism than gave reasons why by telling you what the world would be like without liberalism in existence.
@TheRevantproduc READ ALL MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS! If you still don't see any arguments then there is something wrong with you.
No, I struggle. I do care about others who struggle as long as they work. I don't care about the people who struggle and don't work or pay taxes because they get hand outs from the government. In fact those people are probably wealthier than most hard working americans. All because of our liberal fucking government.
@daltaBIYOTCH Hard working americans would make a whole lot more if it wern't for the republican party, our government is meant to support the people. Not give hand outs which they try not to but people exploit it and that is the problem.
@Kaduyett Wait what? you make no sense. The government is not meant to support the people, the government is meant to protect the people. The people are meant to support themselves, by working.
@daltaBIYOTCH So it's payouts you're mad about. I to hate when people exploit it.
Here, where I live (im not american), you'll need a background check and reasoning for why. Usally your previous employer must agree with that you need this(serious injuries, sort that keeps you home for life). If you get back on your feet, they will find work for you, to help you get back into the working life.
@TheRevantproduc I have fought with myself on this issue as well, because while I'm independent, and I don't necessarily see eye to eye with EVERYTHING the Flobots say, I do feel that at least starting the conversation on a popular level is one of the best things that can come out of the music industry. They choose to write music that informs AND entertains, and it has a lot of people asking questions, THAT is why I LOVE the Flobots.
@TheRevantproduc Well you have to listen to a little bit of them, but it is basically a representation of the discomfort that the youth feels about America. They protest big government, they protest war, they protest government corruption, they protest nation building and assassination. They oppose unethical treatment of prisoners and advocate adherence to the law of the land. They know that the youth is the power behind the nation and they seek to bring that power to the front.
@daltaBIYOTCH K hopefully you guys have made up by now, but seriously. It's this left vs. right mentality that has America so divided. It is this exact argument that keeps us from making any real change. Instead of focusing on why you disagree, look for the common ground and work from there. THAT is the essence of cooperation and that is what this fractured and divided United States requires right now.

It's a fight for the soul of America, and that's what Flobots have been rappin about the entire time. America has lost it's conscience and it's up to us to live our lives with a sense of the greater good and not support ideas, plans, legislation that turns our kids into murders. Spread the word with any one that can listen, whether they agree with you or not. Speak the truth and eventually the truth will be heard. We can save the soul of America if everyone takes action.

@LadyAliara a martyr is someone who suffers for a good cause, so when they say they would rather make their children martyrs then murders they would rather them suffer for a good cause than fight and kill for it.

When I sing I can be who really I am and theres a me no one knows.
The one thing I know is Music allows me to be forever young & happy.
The only thing I need to come true this wonderful dream is stopping by my channel and check out my covers.

Someone should really play this type of music in front of the white house in order to get the point across to those bastards. On a side note the way I look at world peace is like this: you cannot have peace w/out chaos, if there is good there will ALWAYS be evil to balance it. If everyone would first be at peace with themselves, then they can share the peace w/ those around them

@TheRevantproduc I don't believe that Liberal philosophies are right. They call our troops murderers when they have no right to. Nobody has the right to judge anybody until you've been in their shoes. Liberals are also anti-America, yet they choose to live and protest all over American soil.
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@daltaBIYOTCH Any liberal idiot would say that, anybody with sense would blame those who create war, not the poor soldiers who have to fight them.
Anti-Ameria? should they bail, or fight to make things right? You shouldnt be neither, nations are bullshit, pride has nothing to do with nationality. The people don't like how the system works, because obviously it's not a fair system. But, we all got our views.
I find people who arent liberal selfish, and theyre usally filthy rich

@TheRevantproduc -.- (sighs). You call liberals idiots and non- liberals selfish. Your obviously a liberal because you said my taste in music is trying to make me see what's right. So since your a liberal and liberals are idiots, like you said, then why should I believe anything you say? If your an idiot your probably wrong about most everything so what I'm getting from your comment is I should believe and do the exact opposite of what you say. I'll go ahead and do that. ;)
P.S.
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@TheRevantproduc (continuing my last comment)
P.S. in this song I'm pretty sure one of the lyrics was 'We're something something not murderers' so they're blaming it on the soldiers. Unless you consider the people ordering the soldiers to kill are the murderers. Either way you'd still be calling the soldiers murderers because they are the ones actually killing the person. They don't really have a choice when they're being ordered but technically they are the ones physically killing the other

@PinkNinjaNews I see your point and for the most part I agree. Iraq and Afghanistan were pointless. Vietnam however may seem pointless but we were there for a reason... Our allies the French got massacred for being in the wrong country. Not sure why they were there in the first place but unfortunatly they were. They got massacred because they couldn't win a war if God helped them, then because they were our allies we invaded Vietnam. And Korea, we were there for a reason as well but I

@TheRevantproduc P.S.S
If every non- liberal was selfish and rich there would be very little good in the world and most everyone would be wealthy. In fact if every non- liberal was selfish, like you said they are, then there wouldn't be very much poverty in the world because most everyone would be rich. And if everyone was rich there really wouldn't be too much more reason to be liberal so no one would be liberal. So it would end up where there's no liberals and everyone is selfish and rich but
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@TheRevantproduc if everyone was rich then being selfish wouldn't exist anymore because there wouldn't be any reason to not be selfish and help people because they wouldn't need help if they were wealthy. And if everyone was wealthy, crime rate would go down because no one would try to steal anymore because they'd be rich enough to buy what they wanted, nobody would rape because they could just pay people to deliver they're sexual needs (or they could just get a girlfriend and be normal) but if
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@TheRevantproduc people were normal they wouldn't rape in the first place. We would still have crimes though. The crime rate would just drop quite a bit. There would still be murder and some would still rape and steal because they're cheap (not selfish, there's a difference between cheap and selfish. Selfish people don't care about others, cheap people care too much about they're money and are afraid to spend it however with cheapness usually comes selfishness and vice versa. But anyway if you
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@TheRevantproduc think about it, the world just might be a better place if liberalism. And by the way liberals aren't the only non- selfish people. Most everyone cares for their fellow man liberal or not so with that said people who aren't liberal wouldn't all be selfish so actually crime rate would drop to almost nothing if everyone was non- liberal or as you put it selfish and rich. So as you can see liberals are the bad and the scum of the world because they're extremely ignorant and hard
daltaBIYOTCH 1 month ago
@TheRevantproduc headed. But people can change and hopefully someday liberals will realize that they aren't helping the world very much and that their philosophies aren't all correct. Possibly some, but definatly not all. Thanks for your time and I hope I've gotten through to you and you realize now that liberalism isn't the right path to take.

No, I struggle. I do care about others who struggle as long as they work. I don't care about the people who struggle and don't work or pay taxes because they get hand outs from the government. In fact those people are probably wealthier than most hard working americans. All because of our liberal fucking government.

@TheRevantproduc I have fought with myself on this issue as well, because while I'm independent, and I don't necessarily see eye to eye with EVERYTHING the Flobots say, I do feel that at least starting the conversation on a popular level is one of the best things that can come out of the music industry. They choose to write music that informs AND entertains, and it has a lot of people asking questions, THAT is why I LOVE the Flobots.

They oppose unethical treatment of prisoners and advocate adherence to the law of the land. They know that the youth is the power behind the nation and they seek to bring that power to the front.
