...the death of David Gilmour

...call him Marshall... though not after that old dictator we used to learn about in school (not even the guy who tried to sing in the bathroom before that pig-headed leader kicked him out).... rather, call him Marshall Puente... or maybe Manitas... either works just fine as a name.

So what's the problem? And Paco just replies: I don't even speak American... 😁 😁 😁

....let's call him Paco....like Paco de Lucia....it’s a beautiful name...

...I honestly can't stand musicals; they are just incredibly saccharine and fundamentally pointless to me. There isn't a single constructive argument to be made here, and frankly, the whole genre just repulses me...

redowl90, I can only hope your grim prognosis for the future of the musical genre proves to be accurate...

The last team I actually stood behind—before I finally lost interest in Formula 1 entirely—was Stewart-Ford, which eventually became Jaguar. Even now, I find myself rooting for them to scrape together as many points as possible. Does anyone here actually have an update on their technical development or what their specific objectives are for this season? Don't bother sending me links; just give me a brief summary if you know the details.

Regards...

Ryan Ruiz said:Look, you might not recall this, but a long time ago I wrote under that "pros and cons" thread that my biggest flaw is intolerance. And what am I supposed to do about it? You think I haven't tried to change?

I have no idea, I don't recall... I doubt I even read that thread... but regardless, the important thing is that you've recognized the issue. I assume you've attempted to address it, though such things don't resolve overnight. It is a gradual process, and perhaps you will succeed in changing, especially now that you realize it's a problem.

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 ...hahahahahahahahahaha.....man, I have to hand it to you....that actually caught me completely off guard....thanks for the laugh....

Ryan Ruiz said:No, it is simply intolerance. I will admit to being intolerant, and there are plenty of valid reasons for it, though this particular topic isn't broad enough to warrant a full dissertation.

Ah, finally... you have finally admitted it. Thank you for actually practicing some self-reflection. And, in my humble opinion, this is your first intelligent contribution to this thread—and I am emphasizing *this thread*. 😉

And what exactly is it that makes me insecure?

Tearing others down is nothing more than a transparent symptom of insecurity.

I simply have no desire to listen to Eastern music, which frankly has no business being played in an American high school.

Give me a break... if you're genuinely that bothered by its Eastern origins, then just head west toward India like Columbus would, and maybe you'll eventually realize it's actually Western music.

Ryan Ruiz said:Exactly... and that is precisely why she lives in her own personal hell. She truly does. She bears half the blame. One might call it my own version of hamartia—that sense of guilt without actual sin. I love her and I loathe her, yet I wouldn't exist if it weren't for her, for that flaw. It doesn't matter... none of it matters... neither these words nor any others.
You can close this thread or keep typing and chatting all you want; nothing else matters.

🙄 🙄 I appreciate being given the green light regarding how we proceed with this thread. 🙏 🙏

What good is a prestigious school if its only real achievement is turning out racist brats like you?

Without question, this stands as the most intelligent response on this entire thread.👍 👍

I find myself in agreement with Jane National.

God, girl, you used to mean so much to me.

Broadcasting Islamic nonsense in a prestigious school is nothing short of a catastrophe.

Well...🙄 Long live artificial elitism. I honestly can't believe they had the audacity to let those foul Muslícs into one of those prestigious, high-end prep schools in Chicago. It actually reminds me of a certain political thread I saw earlier. 😉 Go ahead and see for yourself.

Use the correct terminology if you intend to label something as religious racism.

What are we all pretending to be experts on today? It seems people are once again acting self-important, especially when discussing the diverse religious demographics within the US. When you start pointing out those differences, people immediately jump to accusations of racism. I won't mince words or dance around the issue; if I'm going to address this, I’ll call it exactly what it is. Religious. Stop being such weaklings.

Playing tracks like those Islamic chants or even anything by Tomson is nothing short of primitive, regardless of how popular the hits might be.

Of course... if you truly believe that Islamic sounds are primitive, then your own post makes it abundantly clear who the actual primitive one is here. 🙄

I maintain a firm position on this: folk music with those specific cultural undertones simply isn't any good. I harbor no hatred toward anyone, but that is my stance.

Oh, please... you don't actually hate anyone; you just hide it behind a mask of indifference. Every so often, a sentiment like that slips through, even if you immediately try to backtrack. I suppose your "refined" Gothic ears simply can't stomach anything outside your narrow playlist, but honestly, who cares? Let's just tear that music apart then. Of course, it would be much simpler if this were merely a debate about musical taste—if it were, I probably wouldn't have bothered posting at all. There is clearly more at stake here than just melodies. Since you are so adamant that Islamic folk music is beneath contempt, I assume you have some actual evidence to back up such a claim. Go ahead, let us see it. 😉

Enough is enough.

Greetings...

😁 😁

😁 😁 😁 ....this sounds all too familiar to me.....what exactly is being criticized here?

driftingeagle27 said:And you are talking about the Tool! Not Iron Maiden, despite what that obvious resonance might suggest to some... 😁

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

We represent the folks affected by the incident, and we want to apologize for any hassle caused. We aren't mindless hillbillies, but look—once you've had a few drinks, things get blurry—but that Jim Beam you guys were pushing is absolute garbage. You saw exactly what it did to us...

It’s fine, really... it wasn't even that bad... actually, yeah, I saw exactly what it did to you all... you couldn't even walk straight, let alone crawl on all fours...😁 😁 😁

Best...

Kevin Chavez3 said:Uh... I don't know... And frankly, I have no desire to find out.

It’s quite telling that this forum censors the word "*****" while leaving the female equivalent untouched. If this is what modern American gender equality looks like, we are in trouble.

Fine, then let it stay exactly as it is regarding the joke....

....and then women will inevitably complain about being discriminated against.... personally, I see absolutely no logical reason to censor these types of words.... give me a break. 🙄 🙄 ....whatever, who gives a damn.... (that part isn't censored, is it?)

Kevin Chavez3 said:Was the joke perhaps related to forest animals and grass? That seems to be a trend lately among engineering students over at UT Austin... 😁

np Anal Cunt - Stayin' Alive ( OI

Oh, really? Is that so? No, the actual joke is about a woman taking a shower, stepping out of the tub, and sticking to the tiles... and then the struggle to peel herself off. You heard that one, right?

Cheers...

😁 😁 ...that scene with the cigar was decent enough... but no, that wasn't me... I was just sitting at a table nearby with a girl... one of them even cracked a joke for us 😁 😁 ...give them my regards

Morski vražičko said:Regarding that matter... I don't actually listen to Thompson at all. I will simply tell you this: most of it is fine, and while some parts lean toward being extremist, you have to remember when those lyrics were actually penned. They were written back when we were being slaughtered and bombs were falling on our cities; they weren't written recently, but between '91 and '95.

It would appear that Thompson possesses an inexhaustible supply of material from that era, suggesting he either worked himself to death composing it, or perhaps he discovered a time machine to travel back to '93 to write a song before returning here to terrorize us. Honestly, Mr. Bean Laden is nothing compared to him.
