Mr.Tophat posted:Do you also get angry when people are described as 'entrepreneurs'? Perhaps you despise avalanches too? Or when someone mentions their fiancé? I know you're a posting extraordinaire, do you explode when people mention that film noir is the greatest genre, or that one should not flambé in the kitchen? Perhaps you slap away such fancy sounding entrees known as hors d'œuvres because they aren't called starters, or finger food? The cavalcade of french words in the english language is deeply entrenched, perhaps you didn't get the communiqué? Do you complain about such things to your chauffeur, because his resume said he was an excellent listener, the creme de la creme of the blasé conversationist? Behold, a beautiful blast upon blaisé beliefs of the basic and bleary too breathtaking to besmirch. I bow before your exhaustive efforts as they break down the bullish attempt on my behalf to befoul the bourgeois attitudes of the body politic.  edit: gently caress I go through all that effort to alliterate and forget to put in a markup symbol

She definitely makes music that's more interesting than most pop stars (Countdown in particular is built on really cool instrumentals) but the perceived infallibility is really weird.

Thing is though, even the best arguments will fail in the face of sheer stupid, and yet that same dangerous stupidity is what is gradually destroying this country. Maybe the best idea would just be to build a wall around all the stupids until they die off. Not like they're adding anything of value to the genepool anyway. Seven months of what? Idgi....

It's basically a different kind of racism. White people like to put her on a pedestal like she is a perfect inhuman god or something. It's pretty hosed up to do that to a person in my opinion.

The only musician I started listening to mostly because of how they looked was Michelle Branch. I have no regrets though, I still listen to her stuff on occasion when I'm in the right mood.

I don't think religious schools should be a thing based purely on how damaging an authority figure exerting The Law of God can be, especially when a kid's in contact with them 40 hours a week for 13 years and mostly without parental supervision. It's way too much power for something that shouldn't be enforced in the first place. It also seems like everyone I know that went to a Catholic school came out an atheist, so good job there.

It's been said before, and I may be biased as a suthna, but for the most part jastiger's opinions and the whole "nuke the south" meme actually mean "nuke minorities and poor people, they are so dumb" The confederacy sucked, modern southern state governments suck, but y'all realize that for a government to suck it needs people to oppress?
