| Paisley.
Because I tend to dislike color questions and that's what I always say when asked. Usually followed up from the other person by, "What shade is 'paisley'?" Heh, you figure it out. (Last edited by Rogue on 03-16-05 10:00 AM) |

| Personally I see it all as a matter of personal opinion.
News media provides a neutral p.o.v. where the audience makes their own decisions based on the given information. Should they all band together and make a stupid decision or think one stupid way is their own damn fault. I'm sick of everything being blamed on the media, the scapegoat for all of life's troubles apparently. "My son shot up his school. It couldn't have been because I wasn't teaching him values and that high school life is just a temporary hell that you come out of and can make a better world for yourself or the fact that I was smacking him every day of his life and expressing my extreme disappointment in him. It must be the media!" "All the boys are only going for the hot chicks and not me. It's the media's fault for presenting a mono-accepted form of beauty in our country and making all of the superficial boys that I want, go for the skinny, blond sluts! Hang the media!!!" Seriously, all of the bands and so-and-so's out there blaming the media are just saying it because they don't really know who else to blame. Why go for the gusto when you can just put it all on one general, faceless mass? Saying things are the media's fault is the minimal amount you can say to be considered "deep" or "political." Those who say this country is indeed controlled by the media make me sick, especially considering the HIGH censorship and violations of the freedom of speech the enforcers of the constitution aren't supposed to commit, but certainly do. And then you have these people who turn around when something happens to command the media to cover it for them. If you're so pissed off with how facts are presented, go out and do the research yourself. Yes, fly to Iraq and check out all of the dead bodies or get shot at daily. Let's see you do it, pseudo-intellectual "liberal America". (Last edited by Rogue on 03-16-05 11:13 AM) |

| If two people are happy together, then who really fucking cares? Those who have problems with it tend be insecure of their own sexuality.
I'm hetero with quite a number for gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/cross-dressing friends. And to be honest, I consider it so normal to be deviating in one's sexuality that I often forget who is and who isn't gay around me because I just see people as people and not remind myself whenever I see someone with, "Hey, there's Lee. Lee's gay." I know you'd think that's stupid, but many do think like that. They remind themselves of these things to remember to be sensitive or not mention it. Really if you're comfortable with who you are and what you like and don't, it doesn't matter. Coupled with this I tend to forget that being gay is still considered taboo and that others frown on it, which with my forgetting makes me wonder what the big fuckin' deal is. |

| Publications tend to watch each other. And that's why there are so many publications with "so many different views" if you so choose to look at it that way.
When are you given more than just facts in a news report? It's all in the interpretation which others tend to exaggerate. If you're talking editorials and commentary, which are all marked fair comment, that's why they are usually given the disclaimer that the view doesn't reflect the entire publication. People are given a voice through the media and thus are enabled to use it to express extreme views on major topics. The first amendment gives the freedom to criticize public figures without persecution. That's why I'm glad to be an American reporter because were I in China or most anywhere in the Middle East where there is no free press and the government controls the media, it would be ridiculous. More than likely, because I'm a woman, I wouldn't receive the right to even consider being a reporter. And yes, there are some crooked journalists out there who have either since been caught or apologized and resigned their posts. What does lying and deceit in journalism gain other than calling everything you've ever done into question? But then again in what field is there not a crooked anything... the church obviously isn't safe or the White House. I'm so passionate on the topic after almost being arrested myself and watching others being so for no crime whatsoever. That and paired with censorship both my magazine and newspaper staffs are experiencing as well as our college's broadcast department. I'm tired of the American "gestapo" coming in to stomp freedoms we were blessed with and people who say the media is to blame for all evil, giving these people all the more motivation to shut us up.

Took this quiz and was amazed with the results, but heh, I personally find it hilarious. Always knew I was depraved.. but more mentally than anything. 
Yes, this is an actual one and not some poorly put together one that doesn't men anything. The quiz goes off the assumption that you've had sex, so obvious virgins will score pretty high.

Originally posted by DéesseYes, she was indeed raped.Originally posted by Rogue Commodus, in an effort to anger Maximus, said that his wife "moaned like a whore when they ravaged her again and again and again" and that his son squealed like a girl "when they nailed him to the cross." Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
P.S. Sorry I'm coming off cocky, but I tend to be competitive when it comes to trivia and/or movies.

The sad fact is I saw this when it first came out and didn't even care about it after that despite the sudden boost in its popularity.

The damned thing comes from New Jersey and the guy in it is so embarassed by it that he's hiding in his room all the time now. If anything Gunther is more worth the watching.

I seriously have felt like asking for some time, especially since the radio stations have played nothing but their stuff off "American Idiot" (they're supposedly "good" stuff).
|
Seriously, I personally think this meld into the same old emo/damn-the-media-we're-intelligent-because-we-call-you-all-stupid genre that all the other major punk bands have been doing is ridiculous. I mean it's all become a matter of let's-all-be-angsty-about-shit rather than fuck-you-authority. I mean, Green Day was part of a punk chain that followed Ramones and came before Blink 182, and the stations seem to have forgotten "Good Riddance", "Minority" and pretty much anything that came before "International Superhits." Sorry to all of you that "just discovered" this "new sound" or otherwise have played it on a loop for however amount of time because you just couldn't get enough of that idiot song, but I would much prefer Billy Joe and the boys if they went back to their "old shit."

Reminds me of No Doubt when they started drifting from punk toward almost hip-hop. Then Gwen peeled off into her own solo career which further came out pop/hip-hop.
|
Is there really no more truly punk? Every band I've seen lately that was claiming to be punk has either been way too angsty (relationships, how life sucks, etc) and thus sounding more alternative rock or pop... ...or otherwise they sound fresh from the garage with no real message other than to try and make a name for themselves, which probably won't happen because they spend more time trying to get people to just listen to them or make too many ridiculous sounds into the mic. Anyway by the way, Katana, you do have a point, but there are some that like to be choosy about what they listen to. I, myself, usually don't care, but this "Green Day being cool 'cause they're sound is 'fresh'" phenomena is pretty sad. I'm so glad there are some that agree.

Originally posted by avatar of lawThe deal is drifting from a genre (punk, in this matter) alienates your fanbase. I agree with everyone since this post who have said that punk these days does indeed suck, because as Gren Day is doing now they've gone from defiance to angst. I mean seriously, old Green Day fans have learned to hate them, while all of these new fans are ushered in to this "new sound." Emo's dead, but apparently punk wants to keep it alive by morphing into it. It's like pop with hip-hop these days. Since the death of the major boy bands, pop lost much of its definition, but the radio stations have since "re-defined" it. Simply put the radio stations play what they want you to hear and I was more than SURPRISED to hear from Zoso that one station played "welcome to Paradise", one of their old songs that it seems everyone has forgotten. All right, fine. Have it your way, though. Let's not judge. They're "matured"... *rolls eyes* Edit: Bad Religion does rock. I especially like "21st Century Digital Boy".. but wait, saying I like them is judging. Oops... (Last edited by Rogue on 03-29-05 01:27 AM)

Yes, Boulevard is a decent song, but to me it's just not Green Day.
|
Just to put it into a bit more perspective for you, Elara, it would be like if Manson suddenly grew into doing trance rock or sounded more like Evanescence or something and dumped all of the dark, goth rock. So then he gains this entirely new fanbase comprised of kids. As a loyal fan wouldn't you too feel almost betrayed?

Someone showed this to me: That baby name I mentioned I'll explain the name if you don't get it. Anyone else hear some horrible names? I had a friend whose name was April, her sister's name was May, and their mom's name was June, but that isn't near as bad as the link. (restricted) |

I'm a HUGE Jones Soda drinker and it would be awesome if this became a label.

With a high enough score it can be a label, so please vote 10's. Pretty pretty please. Thank you! Here's the place to vote. Just drag it down to 10 and you know the rest. http://www.jonessoda.com/gallery/view.php?ID=0000361027 Thank you! I owe you all. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
