    How ironic. Just as I was just about to post this the discussion thread is closed.


    THE FIRST FUCKING AMENDMENT!!!

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    Since when is MT Congress?

    People here must be doing something right when someone who says as many stupid things as I do has never been banned or had a thread locked :)
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    He WAS a republican....That wasn't the point. You were waxing on about your direct knowledge of the band's politics and the reality is that you don't know. And besides. Who cares? This band has somehow become a lightening rod for the disgruntled and disaffected which I find sad. It used to be fun round here.

    i think the band's politics have been pretty obvious since ten, moreso with the last 2 albums, but they have always been political. vote for change tour was a pretty public acknowledgement that they are definitely not going to be voting republican. look at rock the vote and lollapalooza in '92. very anti bush the first.

    in case you haven't noticed the band has always appealed to the disgruntled and disaffected.

    well that's cause the main lyricist is disgruntled.

    you know just because you have the right to say it that doesn't mean it's right to say it.

    You have a right to be offended by what someone says. You, however, do not have a right to not be offended.

    I've always liked that one ;)

    Were you even at Lollapalooza 1? Politics? Give me a break. Everyone was way too fucked up too care about politics and Iraq 1 was quite popular at the time actually. You must have been at a different show. Because back in 92 it was about the music.

    It's really too bad, because I really love this band and have been on this board since it's inception and to see it change and become about this radical political crap instead of the music is just too bad. Ya know I went years without even looking at this Moving Train thing and then stumbled in. Wish I wouldn't have. Makes me kinda sad there are the kinds of people the band has attracted now.

    If you are looking for some good intelligent music talk, join the Who's board. It's a welcome relief and totally apolitical....

    You can always limit yourself to only posting on The Porch, no one is forcing you to come on the Moving Train. I mean for someone who dislikes the atmosphere here so much you spend an awfull lot of time here. I also don't see how you could have been on this board since it's inception with a join date of only a week ago.

    I was at Lollapalooza in '92 - fourth row center and stone cold sober. Yeah, there was a bit of politics. No, Eddie didn't write "Pro-Choice" down his arm like he did on national television in '92; but definitely some liberalism floating around. Hell, that was an election year - ya think there wasn't?

    Edit: Oh, and for the record, that was Lollapalooza 2.

    I was banned for a whole day for calling someone a dumbass. Guess my affiliation...

    Oh please, I've been banned as well and guess my affiliation :rolleyes: I said someone was being an asshole. I think Kat only takes measures if things get too extreme but when someone reports you for calling someone an asshole or a dumbass you're just unlucky.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    I was banned for one day as well for loosing my cool. I have also been insulted a few times and the person was never banned.

    I don't have enough fingers and toes to count all the names I've been called. That's why it's better to just be a smartass around here and limit your thoughtful debate because you're almost certain to recieve none in return. Too bad I've probably bought enough CDs to keep this forum afloat. I take that back... I love my CDs.

    i could make a list of people that should've been banned for what they've said to me. i guess it depends on who gets caught.

    Who gets caught or who gets reported. I for one have never reported anyone for anything they said on here, but there are those that will report everything.

    If we knew, we wouldn't talk to them. But I have a few suspicisions. Not naming names.

  • I would probably quash free speech if I was the moderator too.

    I don't like it when people try to test my free speech limits.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    I guarantee that I could start an I love George Bush thread and as long as dopes like you didn't post in it, it would never get locked. stop being such a damned drama queen.
