  1. 5. Buy an iPhone 6. Have Apple track your location unwillingly.
  2. Not to get all genre defense warrior, but I wouldn't call ny of the bands you listed screamo...
  3. There really aren't, there's nothing in the way of music or shows there. A place used to sell some sweet shirts but now they sell metalcore shirts.
  4. I stated my opinion because I disagreed with one stated, and disagreed with them enough to feel like I should say something. Is there any other motive needed? Is that irrational? It's irrelevant to the discussion and I don't need to explain why I said what I said.
  5. It may not be important to you, but the issue was clearly important enough for me to say something. The value you put on this person, their life and their death has no bearing on the value I put in it. I don't need to explain why it's important to me, as it has no bearing on the conversation at hand.
  6. if you're going on a diet, the best thing you can ever do is start making your own food. Best decision I've ever made.
  7. It's not an issue of not being able to voice an opinion; it's knowing when it's appropriate to share such opinions. There is a time and a place for everything, and spouting off on Twitter (as Roger Ebert did) or on a heavily trafficked message board (as Allison did) about how the guy screwed up and they don't feel sorry for him is just asking for a huge pile of shit to come down on them. That said, do I feel sorry that Ryan Dunn died? Not exactly; I can't say I feel sorry for most people who die simply because I don't really know them so it feels strange for me to associate that emotion with the death of what is essentially a stranger. But it's different for every person—I know that when I heard Joe Strummer passed, I was legitimately sad and I felt like I had lost a part of me, and I was surprised at how it affected me. So if that's how someone on here feels because of Ryan Dunn's passing, then I hope they can find solace in knowing that there's a whole lot of people who feel the same way out there, just not Allison. Although I disagree with the first paragraph(I think the internet should be used to air all opinions, but celebrities understandably have difficulty when they voice an unpopular opinion) the second half does come across very interesting to me.
  8. I might be interested if just the Warren tracks were released(I'd still listen to it before buying it) but I doubt there's a lot you could do to the album to make me want to pay for a 3LP
  9. I think the Roger Ebert tweet is a little different from comments made on a message board, seeing as he doesn't afford himself quite the level of anonymity that we are afforded on this board(even though a number of the people on this board hang out with each other), and he depends on his reputation, online or otherwise, in order to make money.
  10. I am all for people sharing their opinions, but I think that article should be thought more of in social situations outside of the internet, like if you were with Dunn's friends or family in this case. One of the best things about the internet is that it's free of the situations like not being able to say your true thoughts because you want to preserve relationships of the people in the room.
  11. If people can't share their opinions than we should shut down the internet and make it read-only for research purposes. Completely agreed.
  12. Decisions that are made can lead to death or cancer, or a whole bunch of other unfortunate things. Just because a decision was made doesn't mean the result of it can't be unfortunate. Someone I know broke their finger and was told not to play saxophone until it healed or it heal crooked. This got in the way of an audition, she played anyway, and her finger healed wrong and she has chronic pain in it. Just because she knew the consequences doesn't mean the consequences aren't unfortunate.(I know smoking and other things mentioned in this topic have more far reaching outcomes, but it was the first thing that came to mind and I felt it helped illustrate what I'm saying, at least partially.) I'm not saying things shouldn't have consequences, but choices that aren't outright malicious having consequences as far reaching as death is an unfortunate reality in my opinion and the consensus here seems to be that it's not unfortunate.
  13. I can't even find the words to tell you how fucking retarded you are. If you can find words, let me know, until then I'm not really going to give you any more of my attention on this topic, if you don't mind.
  14. Diet soda, microwavable dinners, and artificial sweeteners have also been linked to cancer, among other things including smog. I don't see your point here. I used to smoke and if I got cancer, or if any of my friends who smoke got cancer, I would still be bummed out for them.
  15. It's poor judgement, so I'd call it a mistake. He did live a lifestyle which put him at risk, but if had been told yo, there is a 100% chance you will die if you get in your car tonight, and was somehow given undeniable proof of that, I think he would've avoided his car for the night. His lifestyle was risky, yes, but I don't think he would've purposefully killed himself, so i'd call it a mistake, and still find it unfortunate, his fault or not.
  16. I have news for you... we all die. Eventually, none of us will be able to feel the warm sun on our faces or jerk off in the shower or whatever. Allison is not being disrespectful to life by saying, "if do stupid things and you bring about your own demise I don't feel bad for you." Doing stupid things that bring about your own demise is being disrespectful to life. If you do a bunch of drugs and die, I don't feel bad for you. If you get AIDS from fucking a lot of people, I don't feel bad for you. If you get cancer from smoking, I don't feel bad for you. I don't agree with this sentiment. There are a variety of drugs, most of which i don't use, that are very unlikely to kill you, and AIDS is something that can be passed unknowingly, even from your first partner. But in reference to Ryan Dunn, it may have been a poor decision to drive at that speed, but I still find it very unfortunate that someone lost their life due to a mistake(however often they make them) and I disagree with someone saying otherwise.
  17. Here's what I was mentioning, if I wasn't clear.
  18. Say a child molester dies in prison, is it disrespectful to not feel badly? I said earlier, I believe anyway(if not I intended to), that there is "little exception" and something like that is one of the exceptions I was referring to.Reports are saying the man had three beers and three shots, and was at the bar for a few hours, and did most of his drinking at the beginning. With someone as high an alcohol tolerance as I assume he has, I don't think it was as bad as it sounds(not to defend drunk driving at all, please don't misunderstand). I know I only started drinking in February and I barely feel three beers, and I'm smaller than Ryan Dunn. I think it more had to do with speed rather than alcohol. In my opinion, it was a mistake that lead to his death rather than outright stupidity or insistence to drive under the influence of too much alcohol. Also, nice avatar. Can't wait for November. I would've thought the same thing I do now. That's my opinion though.
  19. Her saying that she doesn't feel bad isn't making light of incident or being disrespectful (although I'd suggest there's nothing to be respectful of). He wasn't hit by a drunk driver, he died and killed another human being by driving like a jerk. The man lived an outrageous life and died an outrageous death. Actions have consequences. How can you feel bad for that? Saying you don't feel bad for someone's death is disrespectful, in my opinion, however you spin it. You're welcome to disagree but those are my thoughts and I disagree with what she said. You aren't willing to take time to actually word a response with any level of thought and instead post pictures of dogs. There's little, if any thought put into that and I'm not going to waste time responding to something like that.
  20. And thank you, A-Money, for proving yourself unwilling to actually have a discussion. If you want to be able to speak about something with any level of competence, I'll be willing to discuss whatever topic you wish as long as you're willing to actually speak about it.
  21. That's subjective isn't it? If I don't appreciate someone making light of or disrespecting the fact that a person will never be able to do anything ever again, then I don't appreciate it. That's not "too tight of a bunch," that's something that offends and goes against a lot of the things I think about life in general. The way I think about things, I'm not blowing anything out of proportion, you may disagree, but you're not what matters when it comes to my opinions and feelings on the matter.
  22. Regardless of the method used, discussion is discussion and internet doesn't make it any less legitimate. I would say the same things off of the internet. If I posted that picture in someone's breakup thread on this forum, I'd get a slew of smites and everyone would pitch a fit about it.
  23. You might be being chastised because you actually said "you don't feel bad" on the first page, which is making light of, and being disrespectful. You did do the things I said I disagree with in my previous post.
  24. I don't understand what your dick measuring contest comment is about. I'm not out to make myself look better or smarter, so I'm not sure what your gain is with that mess of a statement. The dude is dead. He will never get to do anything again, ever. That's a big fucking deal, for anyone, and with little exception, being disrespectful, celebrating, or making light of their death is nothing but shortsighted and downright ignorant. It's my opinion that saying it's "to be expected" or that you don't feel bad because he may have had something to drink is ridiculous. That said, drunk driving is a terrible, selfish thing to do and I will never say or think anything otherwise, but someone died. Making light of it or saying it was deserved is a bit much. The gravity of someone's death is, in my opinion, lost on anyone who says otherwise. But those are my thoughts.
