Should Heavy Metal Be Banned?

[hibernal_dream]

what the fuck are you talking about? bodybuilding is something that I discovered on my own. It's not even popular activity at all. You are making it sound like everybody does it and I am just conforming to the norms. You have no idea the dedication, intensity and discipline required to succeed in bodybuilding.

I said nothing of the sort. The question is still there - WHY do you do it? Simply because something involves dedication, intensity and discipline or enjoyment does not on its own mean it is a productive or worthwhile activity.

Someone who would say metal is noise is not someone whos opinions I would think much of. I would say the person is just trying to stir things up and does not even play an instrument to really have a good clue. I would not have bothered replying to the person if on that forum to begin with and the more people who reply the more better that person feels about themself and think they are important.

I do it because it makes me feel and look great, both in health and appearance. I am not going to lie though, a large part of it is to feed my massive ego.

not to mention, at this point I am addicted to exercise. I get depressed when I don't workout

Why don't you plant trees or shovel soil? You'll be getting big and actually achieving something constructive. Plus it's more enjoyable being out in the sunshine than doing curls facing a mirror in the gym.

that's what you think

no man, I love working out, I love dieting. Not to mention its much more precise and effective to workout in the gym in terms of creating the perfect physique compared to planting trees or shoveling soil.

This is a really dumb discussion anyways that is entirely off - topic

"I would just LOVE to go shoot up some cops... but only if I had the right musical accompaniment"


Point is if someone is FUCKED IN THE HEAD enough to go kill someone, thier not going to stop just because they aren't aloud to listen to "Decide" or some shit like that.

It's on bodybuilding.com. Thus, it's stupid. Simple deduction.

No shit. People who don't listen to metal commit more murders and suicides than people who do. Maybe this is because metal is a release for aggression and depression? Or just because metalheads aren't fucking retarded (generally.)

I totally agree with you, but where did you find that information?

Meh, that means nothing. Every one of those 'supprting arguments' for why were just completely ignorant and predictable.

utterly farcical.

could be just an educated guess...

most people don't listen to metal, so you'd expect the same to be true of most brunettes, or athletes, or murderers, or whatever.
Moreover, given that most of the people in US prisons are black (though perhaps for petty and drug-related crimes), and 'hip-hop culture'*, which is unique in its social standards of how a respectable person acts (i.e., more heavily promoting violent solutions to social problems), and is far more popular with them than metal, you'd expect 'metalheads' to be the clear minority, if not under-represented even, among murderers.


*I'm, of course, neglecting the whole Anticon/conscious culture.

Well, that filled my "listen to a retard" quota for the day.

yup.

i actually wanted to read further to see how sad it could get, with one side "metahl is badd, its jus skreamin wit no talant", with the other "mehtul is fukkin awesome yu suck!"
seemed like everyone supporting metal barely listened to anything past metallica and pantera too.
