hakspek: /hak´speek/, n.

A shorthand method of spelling found on many British academic bulletin boards and talker systems. Syllables and whole words in a sentence are replaced by single ASCII characters the names of which are phonetically similar or equivalent, while multiple letters are usually dropped. Hence, ?for’ becomes ?4’; ?two’, ?too’, and ?to’ become ?2’; ?ck’ becomes ?k’. “Before I see you tomorrow” becomes “b4 i c u 2moro”. First appeared in London about 1986

I've heard this before and agree: "Rap music is grown men standing on the stage complaining." The way I figure, if you want to be a singer, but you can't sing, be a rapper.

However, I believe rap music can be a bad influence. So many rap song are so bad-languaged that it makes kids cuss every other word they say. And that's not good.

Originally written by Jeremy Bentham:

The day may come, when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The French have already discovered that the blackness of the skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor (see Lewis XIV's Code Noir). It may come one day to be recognized, that the number of the legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or, perhaps, the faculty of discourse? But a full-grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as a more conversable animal, than an infant of a day, or a week, or even a month, old. But suppose the case were otherwise, what would it avail? the question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
