HMM...you must be psychic!! It seems that Metallica fans can tell what every lyric James Hetfield has ever written is about down to the word!!
Also, you tell me not to be so defensive, yet you expect me to be peachy-keen when I have some yo-yo running his mouth calling the 9/11 attacks "babble", disrespecting the country I live in. If you have one ounce of pride or faith in your country, you would do the same.
I'm too much of a man and respect other's cultures too much to lower myself to use "freedom of speech" to belittle another's country of residence. Have a nice day.
Well "Grandmaster L'", you do make a valid point there. Though you folks do have a right to say what you want, it bothers me that a Metallica fan forum has become a place where some people voice their negative opinions of others' countries'. That's my case in a paragraph.
Feel however you want, but my whole point has been simply stating that this is not the place for us to show our disrespect for other nations.
hellawaits77: This isn't "babble". What is with people disrespecting American around here lately? I would never EVER, judge anyone solely based on their country of origin. There seems to be close minded, ignorant people like that around here, unfortuantely.................
I think people look at the US the same way people look at Metallica. The US is the most powerful nation in the world and there are going to be people from smaller countries that are going to bash the US for any reason possible, the same goes for Metallica. You love them or you hate them.
It's interesting how people could care less about tragic things going on in the world, but there is the common bond of music that tie them together.
