"After I heard System Of A Down, I thought 'I'm actually alive to hear the s***test band of all time'. Which is quite something when you think about i -- nm - t." Noel Gallagher Apr 24, 13:02 30
- I knew I liked that guy for some reason. -- nm - nubby Apr 24, 13:13
- HAHAHA! noel gallagher saying a band sucks should blow up any irony meters in the world -- nm - dogbert183 Apr 24, 13:13 2
  - He's been blowing irony meters for years now. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:16 1
    - "Irony Meters" is a pretty shitty tranny whore name. -- nm - nubby Apr 24, 13:17
- Gawd I miss Amoxy so much - Epiphany Apr 24, 13:11
- Best metal band of the decade. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 13:02 24
  - I think I can agree with this -- nm - dogbert183 Apr 24, 13:14
  - good band. Shitty singer. Serj is awful I mean awful and his lyrics are terrible. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 13:06 20
    - like a cat being strangled inside a washing machine. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 13:08 1
      - that's the other guy, who sucks worse than Serj. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 13:10
    - Vehemently untrue. I give mad bonus points to anyone who get a major label to release "gonorrhea gorgonzola" as a lyric. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 13:07 17
      - awful awful awful. He's overly melodramitc without really saying anything. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 13:10 16
        
        Even if I agreed, and I don't, as a Rush fan you must understand there are things more important than lyrics. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 13:12 15
        
        HA! Nice....except as we ALL know that arguement holds no water. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 13:22 11

        there you go! You just proved my point. Whereas with Spiders.... - Remlik Apr 24, 13:28 8
        
        You know how many Rush fans are Rush fans because of their lyrics? - TFox Apr 24, 13:31 7
        
        Thank Sweet Jesus that Dylan doesn't write for Rush. 30 albums and I can name a half dozen songs worth anything by Dylan. Mostly because they were - TWuG Apr 24, 13:36 6

        I can count the number of folks i personally know who like Dylan on 1 finger. Those who thinks he sucks require fingers and toesa to count. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:42
        
        Heh. You own that insane opinion, girl! *three finger Z-tracing snap!* -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 13:38 3
        
        The only place Dylan didn't suck was with Petty, Lynne, Harrison and Orbison carrying his sorry ass. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:40 2
        
        I can count the number of musicians who put out higher caliber work than Dylan *in the last 5-6 years* on my fingers. - TFox Apr 24, 13:42 1
        
        That's more a commentary on the crap being produced today than the quality of anything he's done. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:43
        
        For the record, I'm on TFox's side in this arguement. - Subversive Apr 24, 13:27
        
        that's gonna leave a mark. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 13:16

  - just fyi, that "emeritus" thing doesn't make sense. - Reagen Apr 24, 13:21 7
    - Well i was thinking along the lines that - Capstern Apr 24, 13:26 6
      - The word you want is figurehead. Ex. Queen Elizabeth. The US President is much more powerful in our gov't than most other head's of state are in - TWuG Apr 24, 13:29 5
        
        so is that a commentary on us or their even more sevre lack of power? -- nm - Capstern Apr 24, 13:29 4
        
        Heads of government in Westminster system governments have more power than the US president because they generally control the legislature and the - Roger More Apr 24, 13:34
        
        I think you lack an understanding of what a president does and the true scope of his power. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:33 2
        
        I think I have a differing opinion than you do and you cant have a true understanding of my depth or breadth of knowledge - Capstern Apr 24, 13:43 1
        
        Obviously our opinions differ. I think yours is based on an incomplete understanding of the balance of powers. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:48
- DADT, is in the hands of Congress, as JD pointed out, and if they think supporting its repeal will hurt them in the midterms, good luck getting - TWuG Apr 24, 13:08 5
  - i'm just looking for one "hard choice" he's had to make, since he talked about them so much the first month he was in office -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 13:10 4
    - Hm. He's letting GM and Chrysler go bankrupt instead of handing out more funds. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:16 2
      - I think someone just gave GM $ 2 billion more today ( yesterday) - Epiphany Apr 24, 13:36 1
        
        He did? Can you link the news? I'm not finding it. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:39
    - Usually in prime time. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 24, 13:12
- Unlike previous administrations, I am able to adapt to changing circumstances -- nm - Obama SI Apr 24, 13:03 13

  - [deleted] 11
    - Well, I posted it because I think it's becoming an easy cop out for the President -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 13:10 10
      - I'm just pleased that 100 days in to 4 years and we're already calling him a failure. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:12 9
        
        There is a growing body of work that suggests that the first 100 days are the most important for setting policy direction following a change in gov't. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 24, 13:27 4
        
        His approval ratings have been steady for weeks. Still in the 70s. I'm not sure why we're expecting instant change when he's got 4 years yet. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:32 3
        
        Well, with US Presidencies, he doesn't have four years. Year Four is gone campaigning. Most of Year Two is tied up with midterms. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 24, 13:34 2
        
        He has had the financial crisis to deal with, and it's too early to see what the outcome is there. (Not that there haven't been mistakes, of course) -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 13:40
        
        I think Obama is both changing much and remaining popular -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 13:35
        
        That is not what I'm saying at all. It's just that we elected him because he had sucha long view. His office is requiring him to pull the reins back - con_carne Apr 24, 13:17
        
        according to the emails my godchilds grandfather sends me he's been a failure before day one -- nm - dogbert183 Apr 24, 13:15 1
        
        he must be friends with my dad. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:17
