Rolling CHALLENGING OPINIONS thread 2008

Whenever a sentence starts "Look, the bottom line is," you KNOW you're in for a treat

lol i have a class where there are lots of these "challenging opinions" thrown around and nervous white guys constantly be going "look i don't mean to sound controversial" and "not being racist here i mean i have a black best friend" and "this might offend some of the more sensitive people" before they say something totally wrong

"Look, I'm sorry but," == my queue to get up and leave the dinner table around 4pm on Christmas day as Dad is about to challenge opinions.

lol otm

Apologizing for something you're about to say is a waterfall of bullshit.

my bf's dad is, i think, the king of challenging opinions

is today challops day on ilx?

not unless cape of good hope stole "challops" from us as well as rocktober

Don't really know where to put this, this'll do as well as anywhere I suppose:

She is a Madonna version that can sing, make actually good songs instead of monkeying whatever is trendy, is slender and shapely instead of stocky, giant handed and heavy chinned, and on top of all, knows how to actually dance.

No wonder she is listened by people of good taste while Madonna is remains basically as an icon for old and fat effeminate men.

Who is the cat's mother?

Oops, sorry, it's a youtube comment on a Mylène Farmer video.

Spelling capitalism with a 'K' is merely faux-Marxian affectation, on a par with 'Kandy Korn'.

Layin the smackdown on faux-marxian affectations in the '08

see, i find that pretty fun cos of on a par with 'Kandy Korn'.

kind of a sidebar: is it just me, or are thread titles with all the words capitalized, like a book title, an indication that the thread starter thinks they're saying something really amazing and/or important?

FYI: Truth Attack - All Genres Of Music That Have Ever Existed Contain Awesome Music In Them, And If You Write Off A Whole Genre Of Music You Are Being Closeminded And Dumb

it's self-conscious here, but illustrates the concept

happens on ILM in particular, like someone thinks their stupid thread is like a thesis

Or an American newspaper article

yeah fuck american newspaper editors god

actually can not tell if you are being sarcastic or not

i suppose it should be "fuck AP stylemongers god" but i was in the heat of the moment there i said it

oh sorry I didn't see that - my eyes glazed over after the words "My Chemical Romance" and the only Dylan song I noticed was "The Times They Are a Changin' Into A Bank Commercial"

am i the only one who thinks coldplay's nomination for the album of the year grammy is a bit absurd

it needs to go to radiohead

and who the fuck is ne-yo

No band that steals from Yngwie Momstein deserves to have a gramm.

nay yo

Maybe it's the hypocrisy of criticising the commercialisation of Christmas when the three wise men pitched up expensive gifts?

Why are Metallica doing so well in these lists? It's not that great people. Just because it's better than St Anger does not make it a great album.

Discovered this gem of a challop the other day:
