    People can't listen to song lyrics that contradict their lifestyle or profession? A cop can't rock Fuck the Police? A priest can't enjoy Imagine? SOAD & RATM aren't exactly current, either.

    Also, somebody said we shouldn't judge people based on their beliefs? We kinda should...

    if your favorite band directly contradicts your belief system, there is something kooky there no?

    i brought this up in another thread, would people be so cavalier about electing a satanist? or a scientologist? their religion doest matter! :MARIS61:

    Yeah if I told clients that I believed the world was built on the back of a giant turtle and we needed to sprinkle corn starch on graves to ensure that bansees wouldn't carry away our dead, I don't think people would want me doing their taxes. They probably wouldn't anyway since I don't do taxes but still, I deserve to be judged based on my beliefs, especially if they are stupid.


    And yes there is something odd about an anti-drug crusader saying he loves Cypress Hill or a physicist who loves ICP. Ryan is probably just trolling. He probably just didn't want to admit he loves Nickelback.

    In my understanding, we have had about 10 years of "Bush tax cuts" which should stimulate growth. Should we make the assumption that things would be much worse without these tax cuts? Should we solve the problem by furthering these tax cuts?

    No, he probably never listened to the lyrics and just knew they were mad, and as a youth he was mad too.

    Yes. Bush inherited a nasty recession, stock market crash, dot bomb bubble burst, in his own right, plus 9/11 and Katrina. The tax cuts sure seem to have tempered all of that and we maintained GDP growth beyond what govt. was borrowing.

    If he'd said Rush I could picture it. Neil Peart seems to share Ryan's infatuation with Ayn Rand.

    If he says he loves Skrillex then we'll know he's just pandering.

    There really is nothing cool about Ryan . . . but does the VP really have any impact on the election?

    Thanks for that. One president succeeded and gave us a reasonably good economy. The other, not so much. The other being the current president, of course.

    Yeah, I guess it isn't Common to make such a fuss over the favourite musicians of politicans.

    Do you listen only to music where you indentify and agree with the lyrics? Aren't you a roadie or concert promoter or some such? Do you only work for those artists with whom you agree politically?

    My favorite band is The Jam, and Paul Weller is far, far, far from my belief system.
