Since I have been on this site I have learned much about the left that I never knew. I never could have imagined how evil they are. ALL THE SHOWS I have been to, I never met any like the mean people on here. It was very much a surprise to me that people even acted so hateful. I will no longer be involved with such hateful mean spirited people .........I don't even know why I stayed this long.....I obviously stayed way too long because your hatefulness has cause me to dislike the band I have loved for the last 20 years....
Thank you to those that acted like adults ...I really enjoyed the debates......

    How can someone else make you 'dislike' something that you 'love'?

    Sorry to hear this however it would nice to show your stronger side in handling the situation that has caused your feelings that you have.

    There's no need to dislike the band....the band draws all kinds of people from all around the world. It's not their fault in how we here interact with each other. Some of those fans/people will not all be to your liking but it is how you deal with people and their feeling along with yours that matters most. I wish well in your endeavors as I would to anyone else here...please take care of yourself.

    You did say something to the extent of "all Muslims are inbred" right? You did post something like that right? Ya, that's NOT hate, that's NOT EVIL, right? :roll:

    ADD:
    This is the Political opinions arena. These are the difficult issues that have no right or wrong.
    There are several other arenas on this website where you can avoid discussions of politics, religion, abortion, gun regulation, foriegn policy decision or environmental issues and get into those discussions about Eddie having or not having a beard, which song is the best ever, which concert was the greatest of all time or which picture of Eddie is the hottest.
    We all kind of know what we are going to be dealing with, so we form our opinions based upon factual data and try to provide evidence that supports our views. It's not easy... which is why (I'm presuming) we are here.
    ...
    Personally, I like difficult question with no right answers rather than what someone had for lunch today. i like to listen to other people's views and how they arrive at them... it makes me have to think. i like thinking.
    ...
    Sorry to see you go. i know... we've had some disagreements on... well, everything. It has no reflection on who you are and it doesn't matter what i or anyone else thinks about you. But, you need to remember... we can only go on what you write. We are all in the same boat... you can only go by what I write.
    ...
    Good luck to you.

    I had some pretty strong views on certain subjects, but these forums have really opened my eyes, made me think and changed my views on certain things ... left, right or centre for the most part everyone on these boards seem awesome.

    OP: Sorry, but you can't really pull this type of post off. All you do is come here and post things with the intent of pissing as many people off as possible. You post inflammatory garbage and then act all innocent when people call you out. You add nothing of value. Ever. People here love a good debate. You do not.

    And I don't really believe for a second that you are or ever really were a big PJ fan.

    Oh well.
  • You shouldn't allow a message board to affect you so much. Step away, get some perspective, listen to some PJ and you'll be ready to go again!

    Then again, I am a member of a Husker board too, and have seen some epic meltdown threads after losses! I may have drunkenly been involved in a couple myself.

    I guess the point is don't take this to serious, It's rare that you are going to change someone's thinking or someone is going to change yours on here, accept it and move on!!

    I've often thought the same but then I suppose there are a few left leaning types who are Ted Nugent fans so you never know... but it's a bit hard to imagine.

    Aerial, you might try seeing this as a learning experience. If you tried being a bit more open and widen your access to information (i.e. a wider variety of news sites rather than only fringe right wing sites) you might get a better perspective on things. And try spending some time with people who are of different religious (or non-religious), spiritual, racial, ethnic and philosophical make up. In other words, try to shake off some of your biases towards people who are not white, Christian and ultra nationalistic.

    yeah I have learned a lot from people here. Made some friends here. I haven't been on amt much since Wrigley. Something about coming here to argue does not appeal to me anymore. In the end we are all fans of the same band. I just want to focus on that instead of what divides us.

    I don't know the OP much, so I have nothing to say about that, but it's really hard to argue with this post above. And I get the same feeling; that cynicism is what this place rides on.
