It's not a particularly stimulating conversation. When I first heard about it on Twitter it was still in the middle of the protests and it twinkled out real quick. But yeah... that's exactly what they're doing. They tried to stop states from allowing mass mail-in ballots, that failed. So then Trump appointed a new postmaster at the perfectly right time. If you do try to vote by mail I recommend you send it 2-3 weeks in advance, seeing how mail can just get locked up like this.

Wont have to worry about the National Anthem, each NFL game will begin with 'Black Skinhead'
 
This is an America I can get behind!!
 
U.S.YE

Weirdly enough he actually checks a lot of boxes most people couldn’t. Beyond a doubt committed to black communities and minority issues, and poverty in general. “Christian” enough that if Trump got a pass, he could too. An undeniable independent to break the two party insider system. Elon for cabinet, Kim for public outreach, and potentially could be endorsed by Obama and Trump at the same time. Probably not Bush though.
 
Plus he could fund universal healthcare with the ticket sales to the inauguration concert. I’m down

Using the word 'limited' to any number above 500 is ridiculous

basically lock-down was overkill

$35 is a no go for me. I like this album alot too and really like that blue but I can't keep paying $35+ for 2xlps

If I had your taste in music, I wouldn't either. 

If you keep going back, everything rips off that one blind bluesman who recorded a single acetate from his rocking chair back in 1902.

They’ve been copying other artists for years. Your favorite band sucks podcast does an episode on Green Day and at the end they run through many of their songs and say who each song ripped off. It’s an amazing episode if you or anyone are inclined to check it out. 

Per this comment I went and checked the episode out, fuckin' hilarious! "If Green Day is punk then they're the punk you don't leave your backpack with because they will steal your shit!"

I’m gonna have to check that out.  Especially since they haven’t put out anything good since Nimrod / Warning (and that’s coming from someone who loves early Green Day). 
 
One of the new songs came on my Spotify Release Radar playlist and I skipped it half way in. Don’t remember the track name, but god damn it was bad. 
 
I just pretend they retired in ‘99, occasionally do reunion tours (not at stadiums), and that helps me sleep at night.

Got the tour variant and the Toy Soldier 7". Thanks!

better price. now if only the album was better, too.

You look sus insulting people that don't want to support that kind of thing and referencing cancel culture, yes.

One.

Yeah, they've always been problematic for me. I do like some of the bands they release, but they do carry white nationalist bands. I'm not saying I will never buy anything from them again, but I doubt I will. And for you, "metal should be dangerous and not politically correct" superduper extreme metalheads, I don't think being against white supremacist bands and their enablers is being politically correct, it's just not being a piece of shit. But hey, you be you.

Yeah the biggest sacrifice I’ve had to make is deathspell omega. By and large it isn’t hard to cut out shit bands with shit views.
 
The mental gymnastics people around here go through to justify this shit astounds me, but I guess that’s on me for being astounded by people in 2019.

How exactly am I supporting them? I already owned their music, I don't stream it, I'm not purchasing anything from them, and I'm not sharing it with anyone. I listen to Bowie too, doesn't make him less of a creep for banging a 13 year old as an adult man. Cool straw man argument though.
 
It's a scientific fact that your brain isn't fully developed, especially in the cause/effect and decision making areas at age 15. Most of the countries that consider 14,15,16 as adult are also considered third world countries; the life expectancy is much shorter than in a first world country. It sucks, but that's the way it is and people have to start living adult lives sooner in those places which is why they typically have a lower age of majority. (In Italy the age of majority is 18, so I'm not sure why you think it's less.)
 
It's personal to me because I'm close with a number of women who were raped or sexual exploited as teens or younger, many of whom at the time thought what was happening was normal. It's not normal, and it's not ok for an adult man to do what he did to a 15 year old.
 
I cite US law because that's where he lives, and that's the law he broke. It's still not ok in general for an adult man to manipulate and groom young women into doing/watching sexual acts no matter what country you're in. And just because people sell their young daughter's as brides in Pakistan or whatever country you're thinking of doesn't mean it's ok. Many people in countries that do things like that are actually trying to pass laws to reform those practices.
 
You say you're not defending him, but then you immediately throw a 15 year old girl under the bus as "guilty" when she was being manipulated by an adult. You might as well just come out and say what you keep implying, "Sounds like she was kind of a slut and got what she deserved."
Thank you for letting me know not to have any further conversations or dealings with you in the future.
 
Anyway, you're welcome to disagree, but just know you're going to be way in the minority on this one, and the way you're defending him and putting blame on the victim, people are going to judge you. All your arguments, many of which have either no facts, or insufficient or inaccurate facts also make you come off (to me at least) as a bit of a pedo or at least sympathetic to pedophiles and a misogynist.
 
And just because I'm feeling particularly magnanimous and I won't see any further replies because I've decided you're an idiot in need of blocking:
You're = you are
Your = ownership
They're = they are
Their = ownership
There = position
