I've always struggled with whether or not today's whites should have to pay for the ills of their ancestors. I'm not sure. It doesn't seem fair either way.

No Kristy. I hate that song with a passion.

Yeah, I don't get why people keep on bashing this thread. I think it's had some pretty interesting discussion. Admittedly, it's gotta ridiculous at points, but I think it's been pretty good the past few threads. I'd rather discuss this than most of the crap that gets tossed around on this board.

Or maybe the people who say this aren't really put into office by God, and they are full of shit. This isn't really the great indictment of God you intend it to be.

Only minorities kick people's asses? Sorry I'm just not sure what you are trying to say. I've seen plenty of white people kick minorities asses. So I'm not sure what your point is.

I just don't think anyone can define what talent is and have it apply for everyone. I think John Mayer is one of the most talented guitarists in the world, but I know a lot of people consider him to be a crappy guitarist.

But if I don't like The Velvet Underground, and they are so unquestionably good, doesn't that mean I am wrong? Or same thing if I don't like the Godfather? That is how I feel, but I know I haven't articulated that very well in this thread. I feel like if Simple Plan makes one person truly happy then they are as artistically relevant as The Beatles. They've achieved the same ends, maybe not on the same scale, but that doesn't diminish it.

I honestly don't see how you can say "talent" isn't a completely subjective term.

Just in case you feel you don't get enough Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, or Cubs coverage on ESPN, TBS released their Sunday schedule for the first 2 months: Date Time (all times ET) Match-up Sunday, April 6 1:00 p.m. Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays Sunday, April 13 1:30 p.m. Chicago Cubs @ Philadelphia Phillies Sunday, April 20 1:30 p.m. LA Dodgers @ Atlanta Braves Sunday, April 27 1:00 p.m. NY Yankees @ Cleveland Indians Sunday, May 4 4:00 p.m. NY Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday, May 11 1:00 p.m. NY Yankees @ Detroit Tigers Sunday, May 18 1:30 p.m. Milwaukee Brewers @ Boston Red Sox Sunday

Though that won't stop anyone from doing so. I like a lot of music that is considered bad, and I could care less. I'd rather listen to what I like even if it's supposed to be bad than listen to "Good" music that I find boring. Thus, my dislike of The Velvet Underground.

I was in 8th grade when that album came out, so I like that band more than anyone probably ought to.

Brilliant.

Oh man, I just threw up. Get this chick off the show!

Yeah, gotta agree with Simon, he looked like a star on that one.

Vibes.

Yes.

Well, journalism classes thus in my learning far have been less about learning how to write and more about learning what to write. It's kind of ridiculous to use such extremes. But I would say it is the person doing the grading's opinion and nothing more. But, if you are in a class where you know you will be graded on something, it is in your best interest to make your work more like what you know they would expect. But it is still the person's opinion, and you are agreeing to take your grade from their opinion of your work. Plus, it depends on the assignment, doesn't it? If the assig

Thats not an answer at all.

But that is still just your opinion, isn't it?

I prefer some Blink 182 songs to some Wilco songs.

Some people think Blink 182 is better than Wilco. Are they wrong?

I actually think the Mets are the best team in the NL, but I'll be rooting against them all year.

Subjectively. Unless you can find a way to quantify it, anytime you use the word "better" it is always going to be subjective. And even when they've found ways to quantify things like who is better, as in baseball, there is still little to no agreement.
