Paris attacks and Eagles of Death Metal

Honduras, just caught 5 Syrian "refugees" with fake passports trying to head to America.  This, just changed.

Says the nutjob who says this:

anybody ever think that perhaps there is no way to prevent EVERY terrorist attack..that sometimes we will get hit and that is the price we pay for our freedom

nothing nutty about that..it is a fact.. you cannot prevent every attack..

what is nutty is to think that you CAN prevent every attack…

you can TRY to prevent every attack but sometimes you will not be able to

and we do not suspend our laws and our constitution because of terrorists… we continue to accept refugees.. that is what we do… to change the way we operate and live in fear is exactly what the terrorists want us to do…

Do you think we should be able to change laws to make Americans safer from guns?

Irrelevant..typical James Ford "I can't actually answer" so let me pose a question and try to find a more favorable tangent to go on…

There is no room for unconstitutional laws… we'd all be safer from "foreigners" by closing our borders and never letting anyone in or out (they could go out and become, you know, "radicalized").. doesn't mean we do it…of course some people who live in fear will want to do that….


what my views on the second amendment are really are irrelevant to the conversation.
you bore me James Ford.. have a nice day cowering behind your desk… don't go out to lunch .. you could get shot up or something horrible..
Oh, I thought you were implying that laws can't be amended even if the amending makes citizens safer.

right-wingnuts are going to make a mountain outta this, but refugees travel on fake passports all the time. 

"None of the detentions have been tied to terrorism. Many migrants with no ties to terrorism travel on false documents around the world."

I'm not saying they would have a valid point in this case, but in your estimation do "right-wingnuts" ever have a valid point about anything? Because if they don't, how can "left-wingnuts" have a valid point about anything?

no, they don't, and that's in large part why they are wingnuts: their arguments are so baseless and nonsensical (in my opinion, obviously).

nope, same reason - regardless what side of the aisle you're on, the extremes don't make sense.  "more guns will make us safer" is no better to me than "bush planned 9/11."

I wonder how many other people around the world, in addition to myself, heard a song by this band for the first time within the past week?


a lot…but the songs have been out there.. in commercials.. also at O's games…and we talked about them on the board many times.. I even posted a link to a video I took way back when I saw them many years ago .. I remember Bearman commented his baldhead was in the video

still, the connection between Homme and the band means a lot of people in the subculture that listen to this type of music would have heard of them..

of course you're stuck listening to the Old 97s, Wilco and Nada Surf (provided the shows are before 7 pm) so I don't expect you would have ever heard of them…


I guess I had avoided them because:

a. somehow i associated them with Queens of the Stone Age, who i listened to once and didn't care for.

b. I'm not into death metal. And if I was, I wouldn't feel inspired to listen to some band that called themselves "Eagles of Death Metal". Perhaps if they called themselves "Gram Parsons of Death Metal" I would have been more inspired.

After listening to one song, I've got them pegged as a boring 90's grunge inspired poppy cock-rock band. Sort of a complement to Foo Fighters. Hey, if that's your bag, that's cool. It's not mine.

LOL. The origin of their name is pretty funny, AND I think you pegging them as a grunge inspired poppy band is pretty funny. They are like 100% stoner/surfer/Americana rock band.

What's the one song you listened to where you pegged them as that? I know a ton of my friends just plain don't like them and that's cool! I just thought your assessment was funny.

I dunno…whatever the song is that comes up when you google them is the song I listened to.

After the shit they've been through, I'll explore more of their music. Perhaps they'll make a fan of me yet.

Maybe this guy can do a video for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pujXL-6GItU

Was that map made by a left wingnut, or a right wingnut?
the message is from the left, but since i agree with them they are not a wingnut.  as mentioned above, someone being a wingnut is an opinion.  ratbastard would likely look at this and declare its author to be a left wingnut.
I wonder if Patton Oswalt is a left wingnut, or a right wingnut. Or if he is more concerned with the truth. At any rate, I bet he doesn't make Jullian's 50 Most Beautiful People list this year.

Actually, ratb, is gone from the forum.  His health is not great right now, and I worry big time for the guy.

He does not, but I enjoy his bit about that terrible Christmas Shoes song.

Wow, it's almost like there's deleterious health effects from being a tightly-wound, highly-concentrated ball of hatred.
