Anyway, doing the deep research this kind of thread really requires, I found this statement:
Britney Spears' hit single Baby One More Time has been named the best song of the last 35 years.
I suppose I should follow up and find out 'according to whom?'
Also, too, I saw that it gave rise to a trend in Catholic schoolgirl outfits. Which most people like to see!
But it is a great song although arguably less angry than BONES
I'm not usually into religion but hey
What is it about Sylenth1 ?

It was true then and it's true today. Not a week has gone by since that speech that the US is not killing people in at least one country... often multiple countries.
Since the end of WWII, the US is responsible for the deaths of 20-40 million people (depending on how you count). The US is a culture that worships war and death and as we chat, US weapons are killing people in at least a half dozens countries. Endless war is the centerpiece of the psyche of the country.

Sure, every genre has its fans. Still, play his music to 100 random people in the pedestrian zone and you will find that maybe 5% like it, probably even less than that.
which, if you felt the need to make music, as an actual driving force in your life, then you might understand.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

No, I didn't do it to offend. You're offended, and you want to make it into something.chk071 wrote: Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:54 pm Let's put it like this: It was a unfortunate comparison, while there's thousands of comparisons you could have chosen, but those weren't stark enough for you, so you chose this one. To make your point stronger, and also to offend fls. Or at least to make clear that you're annoyed of his arguments.
It is the strongest way to illustrate the fallacy I know. It isn't a comparison to anything. Even to Coldplay.
I'm not even annoyed, I have to laugh because he is either never going to grasp it or it suits him to play like he is that obtuse for fun.
