Or you could just learn to type fast and to spell well at the same time ;)

It's not that hard...

Its not a big deal......ever. If you're an anal asshole who has to correct someone just because they spelled it "tellevision" instead of "television," you're a person in dire need of a hobby.

Next time, you pull the hell out, cuz luck only lasts so long.

You gotta be a little more specific. If you mean metal in general, then a whole bunch of styles of music fall into that category, like Sum 41 -type punk, which has alot of metal influence, and Linkin Park's style of crap...I mean music. What exactly do you mean?

People usually use the term as when a band signs to a major lable.

I use it differently, I only call a group sell-outs when they (purposefully) make music different from what they had been making purley for the cash.

I don't oppose either.

Yeah, I know, but thats ridiculous. As long as a band doesn't compromise their sound just to get more fans, its never selling out. Signing to a major label is just another step in the career of an artist. Its so fucking sad that Greenday "fans" consist of morons like the topic starter.

In other words, you prefer an average, same-old rock band, like everything on MTV now.

They are so underrated. I think they're even better than the frontmans first band, Blur. Rap-rock done in a very different way for all of you who haven't heard them.

Apparently you don't know what an "example" is, but I get the picture. You're right, they do make alot of money in other categories other than album sales; the guys getting pissed are the labels, not really the bands, except for crappy Metallica. But that crap you said about CD's having extra stuff to get you to buy it is almost like whoring yourself out to the public. People should buy an album of the music, not because it brings a limited edition Nine Inch Nails condom.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but now I have to. You morons do realize that this guy is just being a dick and trying to get attention, right? Stop posting so this asshole can hopefully go kill himself, as I will proceed to do.

And how the hell did they sell out? Define this so-called "selling out" to us mere mortals and then maybe you'll make sense.

Sure music is art, but these are people who are not just making music for the fun of it; if so then they should keep their stuff in their houses so they could play them on their headphones in private. Bottom line is is that they are trying to make a living off of it, so money is a factor, and necessary one at that. P2P networks are a great way to reach new artists you don't know about, but it becomes a problem when for example Linkin Park fans, who already have heard most of the songs on the album, decide to donwload the album instead of shelving out the cash, just cuz they're cheap assholes. Like most things, its only okay until it becomes an alternative to actually giving money to support them, just so your selfish ass doesn't have to spend a dime.

Shoot.

God I hope thats a joke. I suppose XBOX, with their Halo and nothing else, is the guru of console gaming, huh?

Actually, XBOX is scheduled to be priced at $299, unlike the PS3 which is to be $500. I'm a Sony guy myself, but I think we can all see who the greedy whores really are.

Yeah, until he gets caught. Then he's like a deer caught in headlights. If you're gonna mention stealthy game characters, it should be Solid Snake, cuz at least he can handle his own when caught, not like that other wannabe.

But isn't his hands just as bloody even though he didn't do the killing himself? Also, although I may be called crazy, I think raping and torturing is worst than killing, and should be punished in a degree even worst than if you murdered someone.

Here in New York its actually not that bad; lots of sunny days and singing birds and blossoming flowers and all that spring junk that everyone likes. I actually miss those big ass storms we used to have.

The prisons are overcrowded and as a result the powers that be are forced to release convicts who (in their terms) "pose little or no threat to society". When is a felon considered rehabilitated and who can say they won't revert back to their old ways once they're out? I heard it costs up to $70,000 per year to house one inmate in the States. That's more than most middle class families make on two incomes. Something is fucked up somewhere...

Damn, you got a point. It sux that this country spends that much money on inmates, but ya can't just kill everyone, right? I think giving prisoners so many luxuries adds to the problem of money wasting.

I'm trying my very best not to start some dumbass flame war, but apparently your brain is leaking. Other than the mispelling correction, which I admit was just done out of whim, I did give my opinion. The question asked if I agreed with the use of the death penalty, in which my response clear as fucking day exclaimed that didn't believe in it. Stating your point of view on something is called an opinion, friend, and thats what I did, ya over-sensitive prick.
