rebelde

I swear I've rarely laughed as much as when I first listened to "the column of the agricultural farmer....zoms."

What a tragedy, I lost it. But my friends told me it was beautiful!

Sorry for the length :-)

Alright, it’s a bit of a convoluted discussion, it’s clear that we’re not on the same page.. anyway, the point is that it doesn’t seem like an intelligent argument to say, “I hate the Nazis but I would help them kill the communists,” it’s like saying I hate them but I share the belief that certain people deserve to die. I agree that it’s not about hating a culture, but still, it’s an unfounded hatred towards someone for their ideas. You’ll admit, waties, that this kind of thinking, typical of the worst authoritarian and anti-democratic regimes, brings to mind Nazism, or even Stalinism, right? It’s certainly not a democratic and liberal proposal to say: "damn, I would kill all the communists!!!" And then, regarding your previous comment, it’s true that partisans alone wouldn’t have won any war, but then why hate and belittle them? I really don’t understand! And then they say that partisans and their celebrations have been co-opted by the left! Of course, as long as there are people on the right (thankfully a minority) who treat them as if they were demons! And anyway, it’s also thanks to them (the partisans) that we are here discussing politics in a forum, which, by the way, is on a totally different subject. I also just wrote a review on the mcr and I keep getting anti-communist comments with a score of 1 and 1 as if I had written a piece of political propaganda, in the cd, moreover, the “political” songs are very few, a couple. So wouldn’t it be better to simply write “I’m not interested, I don’t listen to them because they suck,” instead of launching into insults and death threats???

everything is beautiful...

I believe that Bruce Springsteen has just decided to commit suicide... he read and says he has failed every goal in life... rascal, I will never forgive you for what you said, NEVER!!!

It's not Nazism to hate someone for what they think, but it’s still not nice. Here, though, we were talking about killing someone for their ideas, and that leads straight to Nazism. Read before you speak, waties.

And the Metallica here, and the Metallica there... come on!!! They can't just play difficult pieces and hope that makes them beautiful; the concept is quite different! I’ll quote a down-to-earth example from a friend of mine: rolling through the Po Valley; can I say I did something difficult? Of course! But can I say I did something beautiful and useful? Well, no, obviously. I think I’ve summed up my conception of Metallica quite well.

no no no no no! I can't let this go, this time! You listened to this album in a terribly superficial way; sure, you can deceive or leave indifferent those who don't like Green Day and therefore don't know them better than you do, but what you're saying sounds very harsh and forced to me. Let me explain: it seems to me that your comments are based on the song titles, and when it comes to the lyrics, you said something like, "meh, I don't understand, but it will probably just be a play on the concept of the title, and I can get away with that!" and that just doesn't work, especially with a band like them, which has always undeniably placed more importance on lyrics than on music, also because, let's face it, their technical skills are what they are (except maybe for the drummer). This isn't meant to be a nasty comment, but I thought it was very appropriate to clarify: the songs you commented on have much deeper meanings than those two lines you wrote. I'm done. Best regards :-)
