"People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!" - Ed Vedder

I'm going to pull this quote out again when Eddie finds Jesus 5 years from now.
So this life is sacrifice...

    I think it would be awesome if Eddie Vedder himself goes all Stephen Baldwin/Kirk Cameron on everyone. Peoples heads would explode and all the rabid lefty Jammers would blow their collective gaskets. My worldview is polar opposite of Ed but I still love the band and their music. What if the shoe was on the other foot for the rest of you?

    The treatment of animals/pro-choice stuff I understand as Ed's being blaring about that for eons. What's with the "death row" deal? We should release all of our convicted violent criminals? WTF?

    P.S. I think some of that might be paraphrased. "Grow up! This is the modern world!" is a really petty and childish statement. Ed's more thoughtful than that.

    how again is speaking what one believes in their heart childish? you might feel it is childinh because it is opposite of your worldview. but believe me when i say more people around here share similar sentiments to ed's than yours.

    Opposing the death penalty, being pro-choice and being aganist animal cruelty. Why is voicing these opinions being childish??
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    reminds me of a potential posting guideline we can use and that i try to follow most times..."thou shalt not be a douche to others when posting on the forums" :lol:

    I'll never understand why people feel the need to call names just because someone may think differently. It's like gay marriage..."...and how is the way someone else lives and what they believe in infringing on your life"? I think it does come down to righteous religious attitudes.
