The "controversial opinions" thread!

Didn't know this. Aaawesome!

Really dude?

OMG his version is pure win!

-Tom Morello was never good, he just added a phaser/wah/whammy/chorus/blowjob/delay to old licks
-I would instantly take any position as a guitarist for the corniest of bands be it busted or mcfly
-I wish I didn't get weirded out by seeing my best friend who is a guy kiss another guy but I do
-I haven't heard anything 'ground breaking' since John Coltrane or King crimson and that was errr 40 years ago?
-I don't get the hate towards religion, as long as its a personal thing and not a cult thing where is the problem?

America has sucked at producing good comedy films for quite some time.


Yes, we notice when you take a British comedy and replace the wit with black people screaming catch phrases into each others faces for 2 hours. We notice because it's not funny.

- There is 95% chance your band is mediocre to terrible and a 99% chance you are worse than the famous bands you openly talk trash about.

- Any sentence that begins "I'm not racist but..." always ends racist.

Australia has sucked at producing good films forever in almost any genre

lots of great actors though

But... who decide which country can have those kind of weapons?

Bullshit organizations like the UN, at least supposedly. Which brings me to...


-The UN is a completely bullshit organization - it is an oligarchy and is responsible for allowing terrible shit like Rwandan genocide to take place; thanks Kofi! 8 countries dominating the rest and ridiculous secretary generals carrying out their own political agendas is NOT global democracy - it's shenanigans.


-Osama Bin Laden is most certainly dead. There is no way he's still in hiding, and I'm willing to bet money that he died soon after the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001. 6 foot 5 inch men that have limps from missing toes, osteoporosis, and are on DIALYSIS do not survive for very long, especially not with frozen accounts and no real means of supporting himself.

-Al Qaeda does not exist. It's an urban legend/myth, like bigfoot, sasquatch, the abominable snowman, the lochness monster, etc... It was built off of a misunderstanding of an Arab phrase. In an operation headed by Prince Turki al-Faisal and coordinated by the CIA and Saudi intelligence, Bin Laden's family was put in charge of raising money for islamic brigades. It was designed to raise money to recruit Muhajadeen volunteers, and all the volunteers were on a database list known as Al Qaeda, which is Arabic for "the base." Osama Bin Laden was original in charge of that database, which is why so much is attributed to him now.




-According to US law, churches are only allowed their tax-exempt status as long as they are not politically active. From the IRS website on Section 501(c)(3) exemptions, "[a tax-exempt group] may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates." The Mormon church directly violated this statute by donating massive amounts of money in support of California's 2008 Proposition 8 (banning gay marriage). Their tax-exempt status should be removed under current law, and I really think the government should collect their taxes retroactively since they started campaigning for Prop 8.

- Religion is a lie, and a major cause of the worlds suffering.
- People are a parasite. Needlessly greedy and selfish.
- Any soldier killed in Iraq/Afghanistan deserves to die. It's their choice to fight in an unjust war, let them rot in it.

1. Fuck you - my cousin isn't dead, but he definitely didn't deserve to be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life for being pulled out of the reserves.

2. Not every soldier in Iraq/Afghanistan chose to go there, and it's not like you can just shrug off a summons to go. If you were in the military prior to 2001, chances are you probably didn't want to go to either country and didn't think there'd be a chance of you going there. What are they supposed to do? Defect and either be arrested, tried for treason, and spend the rest of their life in jail, or be on the run, off the grid for the rest of their lives? No chance.

Wolf Creek

Howling Part 3
Daybreakers
Australia

However, now that I think about it ... if Crocodile Dundee was actually an australian movie ... that one was pretty good

Sorry, kinda' lost the perspective on this thread. I'd probably think the same if that was all the Australian cinema I had seen too.

Though Daybreakers and Chopper I felt were quite good (if popcorny in the case of Daybreakers, I can't not love something that has Willem Da Foe and Same Neill in it. ).

I have never seen the movie Australia and I never will, the previews looked more like a tourism campaign for the outback than an actual movie worth watching.

One more before I go to bed.


This thread is going to get out of hand.

Just to agree with many people, I back up everything Murphy said, what Egan said, everything Jorge said except the sports part, and Jeff is my hero.

-People who think effects pedals=creativity deserve to be shot by firing squad. If you have a board with like more than five effects on it you are a cunt.
-99% of "music fans" deserve to be starved to death.
-The average college age musician does NOT know how to play "the blues". I don't care if you went through "SRV phase" (I've heard this phrase an absurd amount of times). Also, you fucking suck at guitar.
-99% of 7 string players don't need the extra range. They need a bullet to the head.

1. I agree more pedals does not mean more creativity, but your second statement is bullshit, I've seen people use tons of effects and uhm, sound great.
2. Then stop making music NOW cause you're definitely not gaining anything from it, and if you ever get famous you will be an ungrateful son of a bitch.
3. Will not talk about this one just cause I don't hold a side there, I just want to say, For god's fucking sake actually studying music is NOT BAD, now get your lame asses of your seats and get some classes instead of using the lameass excuse that classes limit your creativity. Ok I did say something.
4. Exaggerated numbers. Although if you put it that way, 99% of guitarists in the world are shit when counting half a world population of 15 year old shits whose pops bought a jackson and a marshall amp so your statemtne about 7 strings is useless and pointless.


Now to add a bit of my own. Drinking alcohol till the point of getting drunk, and smoking ciggaretes is useless, pointless, harmful and idiotic. I have never done any kind of illegal drugs (marijuana, lsd, whatever) but I sincerely condone much more doing pot than drinking. It´s just pathetic, you get drunk then you look like an asshole, smell like an asshole, act like an asshole, lose your wallet, wake up feeling like total shit, with injuries you have no idea how you got them, and can´t even fucking remember if you had fun. To add to my point, fun is overrated. Satisfaction is so much cooler.

We´re supposed to be controversial here rite??

I got a kick out of seeing Eric Bana's portrayal of the character in "Chopper" but I could probably never force myself to sit through that whole movie ever again

Daybreakers was "meh" ... I guess it doesn't fall into the "Full on suck" catagory and yes I agree about Willem Dafoe

Wasn't the original Phantasm an australian movie?

Avoid the knee-jerk reaction to say it was such a great movie and try watching it now ... it fucking SUCKS!

but hey ... its all about opinions

 

[Bekanor]

If extended range guitars or 7+ strings offend you, go buy a tenor guitar (that's a 4 string) so you have only the amount of creative options that you can handle.

Ok I'm really going to bed now.
