Obviously it interests you since you've written a masters thesis on it thus far in this thread.

I like to debate and take a stand on controversial topics. You act like people only talk about things that they like or are seen as "good" or "humorous."

You're trying to say it doesn't interest you. You'd have to be pretty fucking punk to talk about something this long that has no interest to you.
Like this many punks.


on an unrelated note this is one of the results when you search "punk as fuck" on google.

What I've heard of that show is just disgusting. It's nothing new, but I think it's disgusting nonetheless. As much as I respect their influence, I don't like Fat Mike at all.

As for this talk of Christian-bashing on stage, I don't care. If it's all the same boring, tired "shock value" statements, I'll just chuckle it off and move on. If it's more thoughtful, I'll take it to heart and think about what complaints are weak, what ones are from a misunderstanding, and what ones are from a misrepresentation of Christ by the Church (perhaps by me), and then act accordingly. Getting worked up about that kinda stuff is completely unnecessary.

Bolded part is exactly how I feel, as you'll see in posts back.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I usually feel about Fat Mike. I take everything he says with a grain of salt, for the most part, but this time it just got to be too much. I almost feel like less of a person for having taken what he said seriously, and debating something that is of no essence or has little to no thought behind it, and is just said for, like you said, "shock value." I should wait for him to actually say something of essence before I try and debate him seriously again.

"It" doesn't interest me. Debates circling it, do. The antics of Fat Mike do not interest me. The debate circling them does.

Whether this stuff if true or some "hilarious joke", this guy is soo sad. Pretty much always has been. If you're a fan of his music or not, I don't understand how anyone could be comfortable with defending him & his actions on a regular basis.

This is a post that I agree with, so I'm going to show my support by quoting it in a post that only says, "This," which is a virtual alternative to nodding in approval, much like "liking" something on Facebook .

Interesting because I like to discuss it, but not interesting because I think it's "fun" or "cute."

I'm comfortable defending his words because they're words. And if they offend you, they offend you. If they don't, they don't. Freedom of speech, brotha. I happen to be amused by the words that ooze out of his mouth. But that's mostly because he's not meant to be taken seriously. He's the lead singer from NOFX, not John Stewart.

As for his actions: Who takes shots from a total stranger, anyway?

word, and I'm down with that. opinions are opinions, and you express your opinion very intelligently so that's cool

Yeah, and like I said, it's no insult to fans, I just don't see how one could back his actions, joke or not. But, even if they can back them, so be it, we differ, haha.
