It's not that I am upset that he has claimed they are shit, it is his pure ignorance to peoples music tastes that fecked me off. I hate people like that.
Actually it wasn't to people's music tastes. It was more about Nickelback than anything else. Why are you allowed to say that you think they are good but I can't say I think they are shit?

The Flying Potato needs to come back down to ground and chill the feck out, possibly have a few chips of his own and who knows sprout a few grand-potato's.

You are still missing the point completely, I am not fussed if you like them or not, my argument was never "Oh my god how can you say that, they are amazing!!!1111" It is the fact that you cannot respect other peoples music tastes.

I judge by what she's wearing
Just how many heads I'm tearing
Off of assholes coming on to her
Each night seems like it's getting worse
And I wish she'd take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every asshole coming on to her
It happens every night she works
They'll go and ask the DJ
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
Don't they know it's never going to work
They think they'll get inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

[CHORUS]
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant

I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming on to her
Don't they know it's never going to work
Each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody's grabbing her ass
Everyone keeps coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

[CHORUS]

I'm hating what she's wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

[CHORUS]
I wish you'd do it again
Each night seems like it's getting worse
I wish you'd do it again
This time somebody's getting hurt

Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you

So to respect other peoples music tastes I have to refrain from saying I think they are shit and I'm not allowed to make a joke? This all sounds very oppressive from someone who is into respecting other peoples opinions.

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
Been there, done that.

Of course you can say that you dont like them because that ion itself is your opinion and that should be respected. But the key difference here which for some reason just cannot grasp is you claiming that it is not music, whoever listens to them are *insert whatever word here* etc

That is not respecting other peoples opinions, that is claiming your opinions are fact

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

People who listen to them are musically clueless twats. Who don't deserve to ever be allowed to listen to music again because the obviously have no taste.

Why should you respect people's opinions unless they have proven that they have opinions worth respecting? Or better yet hold respectable opinions.

No one can claim an opinion as fact so basically you just took what I was saying as if I meant it as fact when really it was all my own opinions such as what they do can't really be called music. That's my opinion, not fact. They are shit though. Probably not the worst band ever but they are still shit. Is that an opinion or fact?

What happens if they post factual opinions as the subject? Or objective opinions as conjecture?

Or cringeworthy lyrics?
There's no such thing as a factual opinion, and surely objective opinion as conjecture is the same as a subjective opinion?

I'm happy with the posting of cringeworthy lyrics though.

Everything you have said has been your opinion yes, but you have been stateing them as if they are fact.

It's almost as if I were joking.
