Published on June 17th 2005
I went to a high school of about roughly 800 kids, and out of those 800, I’d say at least 75 dropped out before even making it to senior year. Now, without a GED, let alone a diploma, I’m sure these kids will have terrific lifelong careers bagging my groceries, pumping my gas, and paving my roads, although there’s apparently a terrific new alternative to a career in public services: a career in starting a hardcore band. With Or Without You’s lyrical content and overall attitude exemplifies their album title Six Reasons To Drop Out to an absolute tee.

I wanna fucking drop of school wtf? The review was witty and entertaining. Reading all of your over-sensitive bashing is pretty pathetic... yeah i got my current job by lying about my qualifications. whats it going to hurt? they either check and you get fired, or they dont and you have a nice job. next time i recommend going to a temp agency. They take 4 -5 bucks an hour out of your pay but you'll still be making 10 an hour. Or you can do what I did and just lie. Yea... like I want to make a career out of Home Depot - whatever it takes for you to hire me gramps. ironically enough you don't need a degree to be a writer. hmm... Fuck this. Go buy circle of dead children NOW. ironically enough you don't need a degree to be a writer. hmm... That's true, but I don't even understand why that's the case. To be fair, he was talking about high school drop outs, which leaves one with waaay less opportunities than a college drop out. dropouts are losers, like yesterday, who was pumpin my gas? fuckin steve jobs, didn't finish college, now look at em. If I got up one morning, and realized I had an actual presentation to do on the semicolon, I'd go right the fuck back to sleep. In my freshmen writing 101 class i had to do a presentation on the semi-colon. Nobody gave a fuck when i told them that "semi-colons are crucial." Later in a lit class the professor spent 40 minutes discussing a "brilliant use of the semi-colon" in a piece we were reading. No one cares but I felt vindicated. heres some constructive criticism(from a journalism major who graduated from high school even though he was rather busy smoking pot.) The writing skills needed to compose an album review are minimal. Get over yourself. This has nothing to do with being paid. If I end up writing for a salary someday, not even necessarily about music, that's fine, but for the time being I write because I love music, and putting bands names out there if they make good records. why do you need constructive criticism? no one is gonna pay you to review albums. but hey maybe they will. i never once have made fun of your writing, yet you continue to make that assumption that i'm saying you're a bad writer. i like making fun of you because you're a nerd and you take it way to seriously for someone that's not even getting PAID. if you wish to continue this gay conversation you can IM me. No, I don't take the internet seriously, I take my writing seriously. If you've got some constructive criticizm, that's good, and I'm more than willing to hear it. But if you're going to be a douchebag about it, I'm going to say something. yeah, you write one nasty little comment about him and he spends 15 minutes (check the time elapsed between replies whenever he argues with bsd and chintown) replying. i think you're right, he takes the internet way too seriously. anchors is insecure about himself, that's why he's always so edgy. Hey, at least you're proud of being a friendless 15 year old capable of getting under somebody's skin. anchors i love getting a rise out of you, it's so goddamn easy. i can't say for sure because you have the cd case and WOWY don't have a website haha, teddytexas just got his ass handed to him. Teddy, let me make a few things crystal fucking clear for you. yeah making fun of people who didn't graduate highschool is awesome. and punkrock. Making fun of blue collar workers who are far more skilled than you (IE: road pavers) is pretty lame, dude. the first six U2 records are fantastic. everything after is lame. Oh stop bitching. U2 does suck. They wish they could be as cool as the Clash, but aren't....it's a shame they are still more popular. Douchebags. No actually this dumbass says that cause he thinks it's "punk"and cool to say that U2 sucks. "okay, U2 sucks. they really actually suck" okay, U2 sucks. they really actually suck. Please.....kids putting down U2. If they aren't you're thing, great, don't listen to them. But saying that they suck or whatever, that's just foolish. There are a lot of great artists who I just can't get into. I'm not going to deny their impact though. U2 will eventually be remembered as a legendary band who made incredible music. They'll be regarded as innovators, the same way people today regard the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles. Where as, most bands that get reviewed on this website will be forgotten about within a few months. And Bono may be a pompous ass, but at least he trys to make change instead of just singing about it like most hardcore & punk bands. i thought this cd was decent. i second that. Anchors writes good reviews. You don't know what you're talking about. This U2 song is wonderful. Score's for the kids knowing the names of some U2 songs. What a fucking shame. I enjoy Anchor's reviews. I also never thought a band like this would steal their name from a U2 song. did they actually name themselves after that godawful u2 song? what a fucking bad song. no score for that band. You win, Anchors. Reading your arrogant, uptight posts is putting me to sleepppzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsdddddddddd ddfnfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarraefffffsbvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvbvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Man, you really are a sad, bitter little man. maybe that should read whos next? last time...bsd vs anchors...this time chinatown vs anchors Good at it?!?! Hahaha! I've got all the free time in the world, and if I spent even half of that writing reviews, I could probably do about 10 a day. Ironic that the guy who spends apparently all of his free time writing reviews tells me to get off the computer. Haha you're such a miserable little bastard. “I don’t care what you think of this band or me / I’ve got real friends and family / Attack my character attack my beliefs / Your not the first so do your worst / Save your breath I’ll never conform / Be warned be warned.” |
