Think I'm in danger of being banned because I honestly think "Pop" is U2's greatest album?
i once said that "honey's dead" was the best jesus and mary chain album. . .

So in your opinion what is the be JAMC album?

The Bends f'ing blows, but I couldn't take Radiohead that seriously after Creep. OKC and Kid A are pretty good though. My favorite JAMC might be Hate Rock & Roll.

How could you people even joke about this? Psychocandy is the #1 album of all time. To me, at least. But that's something.

I do think political discussions on the internet are inherently pointless, which helps explain why they are so prone to degeneration. It's not like we're going to develop some unparalleled insights through discussion here. I try to avoid them… my bad for getting into that here, and for my role in making it personal.

ME??? What have I done to sway your vote? I haven't 'endorsed' either of them. You could pull my nuts off with a clydesdale hooked up to a meat clever and I wouldn't vote for Obama, but that doesn't mean I'm a McCainist. If do vote for McCain it will be simply to cancel out a vote for Obama, but then I would have to go home and take a long hot shower after voting for a republican. Not voting seems to be a cowards way out so my only other choice would be one of the other no-hopes (not Nader though). That would make me feel good about voting but also disapointed that my vote meant nothing.

My only comment is with all the millions of people in this country of ours is if these are the best two we can come up with it doesn't say much about our country does it?

I was just in the barber shop in Jupiter and listening to the two barbers and two other (white male) customers talk about 'yer black president' 'yer can take my concealed weapons permit but arl still have mar gun' 'it ain't muurca when yer got a black called hussein in the white house' 'there's a reason it's called the white house' etc. etc. you get the pic. I got up to walk out and one of the barbers said, "uh, oh, seems we upset an Obama voter" so replied, "I wouldn't vote for Obama if he was the only candidate, but it has nothing to do with his skin color or middle name" then left and went to the hair butchery instead.

i find this idea of a "meaningless" or "wasted" vote to be a funny one. there is no such thing as a wasted vote. somehow it's only worth voting if it's a closely contested election? even if your candidate is projected to win, a bigger majority = a stronger mandate. your guy is going to lose? don't let him/her lose by more than they have to.

a vote for a third-party candidate is also very meaningful. even if he/she know they're going to lose to a dem or a repub, they need & appreciate every vote they get.

Mankie, that story is 100% awesome.

How did the hair cut turn out?

He's trying to prove he's down with internet forum lingo.
