THE OFFICIAL DREAM THEATER DISCUSSION THREAD

[ABQShredHead]

I have about 200 hair metal cassettes boxed up in the garage. And one on vinyl - Destiny by Marchello.

 

[Aeonblade]

The good hair metal is amazing, I don't use the word "fag" but since we're talking about Dream Theater, it's fine.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I like the part in Constant Motion at about 1:33 when they play the verse riff an octave higher and a little different. It makes everything sound more chaotic.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Anyone who calls people "fags" is a fag themself.

Hair Metal is so recycled it's gross.

Sounds like someone's got their own sexual identity problems.

 

[Taliwakker]

anyone who bags hair metal is a gayfag.

 

[Tubbs]

A "gay fag" is actually a straight person if you think of it in context.

 

[Matt]

That does not have even an ounce of sense in it.

Dream theater = fags.

Hair metal > dream theater.

Hey, stop!

 

[Taliwakker]

A "gay fag" is actually a straight person if you think of it in context.

so is a black coon a white person in that context then?

 

[Tubbs]

No

 

[DoomsdayZach]

no, i understand what you're going for here tubbs, but in this case "gay" enhances the "fag". it isn't a negative, so the double negative rule doesn't apply.

 

[Tubbs]

It is a double negative.

Gay = not straight

Fag = explicit slang for not straight

A not straight person who isn't straight, according to their terms of "straightness"? Sounds like a straight guy to me.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Hair metal > dream theater.

What are you talking about? That's like saying a not-a-dog person who isn't a dog, is actually a dog, because it's a double negative. Simply stupid.

All gay persons are gay. It is not a double negative. In 'gay fag', the adjective 'gay' is just useless.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Shhhhhhh! Let him run around calling himself a gay fag, and think it's ok.....


Is Tubbs related to that kid on Bad Santa??????

 

[DoomsdayZach]

:Smug: Anyone who says Hair Metal is Greater then any real form of metal is CRAZY

Right, i said greater than dream theater, not a real form of metal. So my statement stands.

 

[progmetaldan]

Whatever.

Let me tell you, if I could bear your children, I would.

Do you understand context, or do you need to go back to grammar school?

The amount of education seems to be dwindling here.

Shhhhhhh! Let him run around calling himself a gay fag, and think it's ok.....

Proof in point. Fat people can't "run around" or whatever this blasphemy is you speak of.

 

[claudeRichard]

The amount of education seems to be dwindling here.

What is this context that you speak of? Are you referring to the commonly accepted definitions "fag" = "person who is not straight", "straight" = "heterosexual", and "gay" = "not straight", or the fact (let's assume it's true) that all persons who bag hair metal are gay fags?

That's like saying a not-a-dog person who isn't a dog, is actually a dog, because it's a double negative. Simply stupid.

I know, that's bad grammar. You get my point though, right? The negatives don't cancel out.

 

[Tubbs]

Different examples have different exceptions. Also, I wasn't talking about hair metal. Hair metal sucks.
