I'm afraid we can't tolerate this anymore!

So... is this actually important or what?

Come on. You’re the one who started this thread. Tell me—if you were actually here in the States right now, what would your move be regarding this issue?

And how did you manage to overlook this part? 😁

Sandra King86 said:Your attitude is off. 🙂
Based on how you put it, you sound like some small-town guy with an inferiority complex, and I'm just some big-shot transplant with an ego.
You're exaggerating.
Neither of us fits those labels—I'm not a big spender and you aren't some local nobody—so I don't really see the point of this post.
It isn't true, it isn't accurate, and it’s definitely not teaching us anything.

I was just telling you how you come across—I wasn't saying that was actually your intention.

Gregory Walker15 said:whatever, it’s been a while since we actually went at each other over something...😈

Yeah, but the real issue is when you don't have an actual opinion. Then you're just stuck on the sidelines...
That's the hardest part—once you figure that out, everything else is easy. 😎

Des Moines said:I was just telling you what kind of vibe you were giving off—didn't say that was actually what you intended...

Well, I told you what kind of impression your post was making too, so I guess we've finally hashed that out. 🙂 Time to move on to something else... 😬

Sandra King86, you should really consider running for office! 😁

Sandra King86 said:Exactly. The real issue is when you lack conviction. That’s how you end up stuck on the sidelines.
The hard part is finding your footing; everything else follows easily. 😎

I certainly have my convictions. For instance, I can't stand country music. I won't listen to it at home, and I won't listen to it out in public.

However, I don't feel the need to police what other people listen to. As long as they aren't bothering me, they can enjoy themselves however they please.

By that same logic, I wouldn't want some heavy metal fans pestering me about Iron Maiden, either.

Why bother picking a fight with country fans? There are plenty of other bad genres and foolish people out there to worry about. ☕

Just waiting for things to cool down before I drop my super radical plan to finally kill off mainstream pop trash... involves some skincare too.
Stay tuned. 😬

Go ahead, I am genuinely curious.
🙏 😁

Stay tuned. 😬

Yeah, right... I can just picture it now: walking out of a Taylor Swift concert and seeing three little punks acting like total maniacs...

GOD BLESS AMERICA! WE NEED THAT AMERICAN SPIRIT BACK!

Anyway... my phone rings once... and man, life has been such a mess lately...

punks are idiots 🤣

Gregory Walker15 said:Look, I have a stance. I can't stand country music—just isn't my thing. Won't listen to it at home, won't listen to it out...

But I’m not gonna police what anyone else listens to. If they want to enjoy that stuff, fine—as long as they leave me alone.

I wouldn't want some metalheads cornering me about Iron Maiden, either.

I don't get why you feel the need to go to war with country fans... there's plenty of other bad music and plenty of other idiots out there. ☕

Honestly, I don't get where all this intense hatred for country comes from. Maybe some amateur psychologist will explain it to us soon... 😬

What really gets to me about the FBI is how people who love that garbage feel the need to act like missionaries for that kind of torture.
I've never had a metalhead taxi driver harass me like that. Or a classical music fan...
And I've certainly never been stuck in downtown Des Moines, sitting across from a cathedral over coffee, getting blasted by King Diamond or Slayer.

@LostCase: 🤣

LostCase said:Yeah... just like how Janica Kostelaic and three little punks would be stripping down at a homecoming party...

ANTE PAVELIC IS THE MAN! ANTE PAVELIC IS THE ONE!

And anyway... my phone rings once... but man, I've been feeling so out of it lately...

Punks are idiots. 🤣

Good grief, who even are you now?

Gregory Walker15 said:Come on, I'm actually pretty curious 🙏 😁

Easy does it—good ideas take a minute to cook...
Everything happens when it's meant to. 😉

Sandra King86 said:Well, I have just been waiting for the dust to settle before I swoop in with my incredibly radical proposal to finally put an end to all this trashy pop music! It even involves some heavy metal enthusiasts.
Stay tuned. 😬

A most civilized solution indeed

😂

Maria Peterson said:a pretty civilized solution

Did I say civilized... or was it radical? 🤔

Alright then—you come up with something civilized... 😍

🙄
I mean, at this rate, I might as well just send those skins directly to the hip-hop heads or the metal fans instead, shouldn't I?
Wait, was I under the impression that you were actually complaining about a lack of civility and advocating for more politeness here? 🤔

Sandra King86 said:I have no clue where this massive wave of criticism against country music is coming from. Perhaps some amateur psychologist will step in soon to explain it all to us? 😬

Wait, you started this thread and now you're acting surprised? Or was that sarcasm? I can't tell—I'm pretty exhausted. 😁

To be honest, that music doesn't really do anything for me. I don't exactly despise it, though—it’s just no different from any other genre I'm not into.

Sandra King86 said:What bothers me about TF is how fans of that kind of perversion feel the need to act like missionaries for such torture.
I haven't experienced being harassed by a heavy metal fan in a taxi like that. Nor have I dealt with any classical music enthusiasts acting that way.
I was just sitting downtown in Indianapolis, right across from the cathedral with my breakfast and coffee. Was I being blasted by King Diamond or Slayer?

Once again, I haven't met anyone with such a missionary drive.

Unlike those who tried to pull it off with reggae or jazz, isn't it? 🤮

Why didn't you hear Slayer playing in the middle of the city square? It's because metal is a subculture. It isn't exactly mainstream music. This means there is a much lower chance of bumping into someone blasting it. On the other hand, country music is what everyone is listening to right now. Because it's so popular, the odds of hearing it everywhere are much higher.

Besides that, you don't see many alternative options in smaller towns. I think there was a column about this topic written by Ante Tomić. 🤔

Is this some kind of public forum or what? 🙂
