Her name was Pauline and she lived in a tree

what will music be like when the whole messy business is replaced by cloning?

I imagine the template will be Michel Houellebecq's rock music. To repeat a question someone else posed, has anyone heard it?

Look at Christina Aguilera. I think she was made from Cher and that chick from Missing Persons' spare parts.

(No need to catcall me, I'm already deeply ashamed...)

I mean, honestly, I *know* you're just having your sick little fun here, and being all rebellious-cool talking about unacceptible subjects, but for FUCKS SAKE. This is just way too close to the fucking bone right now.

I can fucking bet you've never had to face the choice between killing your own child, or else running the risk that your child could destroy your health and end up killing you. Fucking PRAY you never have to face that decision. Then see if you're still laughing and making 'funny' little comments like these.

It's not funny, it's not cute, and it's not rock'n'roll.

I thought it was "blacks" too DG, which had me peg the whole thing as a 'character song'. There's still a lot of did-he-MEAN-it controversy over 'Bodies', as a quick search on google groups would verify.

All I can say about this entire thread, to pretty much all participants, is grow the fuck up already. When I first read the question I figured it'd die, not get 20 some responses. Very bizarre.

If you see something that offends you on the forum - or in general - you should just say so, not worry that people might see you as 'humourless' or 'PC' or whatever. Kate did this and good for her. And if you do go over the top then others will call you on it and that way people end up understanding each other better (or not talking, which on a public board is also fine). Dialogue != repression. Being offended by stuff shouldn't be uncool or whatever.

I have nothing against talking about The Big Issues. I have nothing against humour, even black humour, if it is used to diffuse the tension of talking about Big Issues. And actually, I find Kurt Cobain suicide jokes pretty offensive myself. I've lost friends to suicide and to drug addiction, and it's not fucking funny. It's childish, Beavis and Butthead "look at me, I'm so cool and rebellious and crude, chucking my poop around the nursery"

I am *not* pro-censorship. But I wish that some people would fucking THINK before they start spouting this crap. There would be no need for censorship, or administration at all if people could self-filter, and realise what is incendiary, and what is offensive, and what is just plain dumb and inappropriate for a public forum.

You know what? Free speach goes both ways. If these fucking creeps have the right to blather on with this offensive and childish stuff, then *I* have the fucking right to complain.

And FUCK YOU if you object to that.

And of course, no one has (or will) respond to what I said about _Never Mind The Bollocks_.

you say "I wish that some people would fucking THINK before they start spouting this crap. There would be no need for censorship, or administration at all if people could self-filter, and realise what is incendiary, and what is offensive, and what is just plain dumb and inappropriate for a public forum." talking about abortion in the manner that these people were is hardly worthy of administrator action. jesus, most of the posts were about cloning pop stars anyway, is that dumb and inappropiate? (well, dumb, yes, but if we took everything dumb out of the forum...well, i won't finish that sentence). the abortion jokes were admittedly tasteless, but not any moreso than a million other suicide/drug addict/ sexist/racist/nazi/whatever things i've ever read here. there's a lot of stupid people, and a lot of people who act stupider than usual when the chance comes up, but they weren't expressing any anger or hatred in the way that i saw your post as doing, which i think IS inappropiate for the forum.

You may not see that there was a point to made about this thread, I do think Kate had a point to make and had every reason to be offended. It's a matter of perspective. Because there are so many different people posting here there's likely to be big differences of opinion, but as long as people aren't trolling or out and out flaming one another (and I didn't see Kate's post as a flame) I don't see any reason to be telling people the proper form of action (or reaction). That's what C. Dolores Tucker et al. does.

I think the thing that's been pissing me off about this whole thing is that I apologized for my comment when I wrote it, and then the entire thread was derailed into a "controversial" censorship discussion before I could derail it into a less controversial discussion about the Sex Pistols.

I wasn't comparing you to neuro, I was just saying I didn't want to argue this point with you anymore because when you disagreed with him you wouldn't let it go.

I was hoping the same wouldn't happen with this thread, but oh well...

Like the pinefox, I have no idea what this thread means on any level.

yeah, you people were all as bad as jagger back then.

hi sanskrit! :D

reading early ethan posts is like looking at a pollock still life of a vase with flowers
