A large segment of the US punk movement is/was rather conservative. See surviving Misfits and Ramones members shilling for the republicans, for example.

I've been into punk rock all my life, and believe me when I say it takes all types - and a lot go on to become a cog in the system they rail against.

Both bands who were great when you were 15 and then you realized that every single one of their songs sounds the same. Moreso the Ramones than the Misfits, but then the Misfits were really only ever Glenn Danizg and a bunch of utterly forgettable other guys anyhow. And Danzig is still pretty cool in my book. e: I'd bet freep punks like Skrewdriver.

On a post about gun control:quote:To: rktman Let me try to de-freep that story. So there's a place that is assumed to be a source of a lot of crime. People nearby apply for CC permits, and apparently don't get them. The crime rate plummets, and then Mayor Guiliani shuts down the shelter. This, according to Mr. Impala64ssa, was because people applied for CC permits that they would never get, and Guiliani was frightened because of that. None of those events sound like they're actually related, though. Crime went down, but is he claiming that the criminals in the area were intensely monitoring CC application activity and gun politics, and adjusted their activities accordingly? And then despite the fact that the problem was apparently solved, Guiliani "wisely" shuts down the shelter.

Come visit with British Airways! I don't hold it against the band because I really doubt even the surviving members have anything to do with the rights these days. I guess it's roughly the British equivalent of Freeper types and Born in the USA.

This, like waiting for them to openly embrace use of the word friend of the family, is essentially the Xeno's Paradox of this thread: the constantly inch closer and closer without ever quite getting there. I predict the site will collapse first, probably not long when Jimrob loses his protracted battle with muscular dystrophy and his son just ups and skips with the take from the last freepathon.

I doubt Jimrob would just take it all and close the site, but I've no idea if the rest of his family share what passes for solid long-term planning among Robinsons. Given everything else I've ever seen on freep, I'm not inclined to credit their intellectual capacities all that generously, even in service of greed.

I seen Frozen recently. The super-mega happy ending is just amazing. And at the moment of supreme happiness what popped in my head? "I wonder what Freep could find to hate about this?" I sat there as the credits rolled and the fantastically uplifting song "Let it go" played and thought about loving Freep. gently caress you Freep, and I guess gently caress you thread as well.
