where do I go to unsubscribe from snobbery about 10 second music clips

 

probably the same place you go to unsubscribe to snobbery about people entertaining people/children in giant novelty costumes crossing into your field of vision

i was confused since there are still ST games left, and then i saw that we're playing the mets tomorrow. what sort of demonry is this?

 

edit: oh, it's the las vegas games...so i'm still confused as to why rizzo and bryant are here...especially since his fiance was posting excitedly about being home (in vegas)

[Brian]

maybe they flew everybody back real quick to check out the new clubhouse?

[Bull]

I missed where anyone of other religions was being encouraged to push their beliefs on others.

Really?!?

1. I don't see how playing your favorite song in the same way your teammates are playing theirs is pushing anything.

What in the ever loving crap does that isis story have to do with Tim's comment about people not being encouraged to push their beliefs on others on this forum?

 

Also, it's really doubtful that is his favorite song. If he's playing his wife's (awful) music he's trying to promote his wife's (awful) music. Like if one of these guys was married to One Direction and played their music in their walk up, that would suck.

 

Someone suggested that no other religion pushes their beliefs on others. I implied that a group of people who were killing people for their differing religious views were doing just that. Its pretty straightforward.

 

I'm not pushy with my beliefs. In fact, I've been in this forum 13 years, and I'd venture to say that none of you even know what my religious views are. But I kind get sick of the "everyone should express themselves, but if Christians express themselves in EXACTLY the same way, its pushy" mantra.

Nobody suggested that. You clearly misinterpreted what Tim said.

[Bull]

Not liking Christian music = ISIS beheading people. That's top notch.

not even close to what I said. Tim said no other religion pushes their beliefs on others. I cited an example to the contrary.

[David]

maybe they flew everybody back real quick to check out the new clubhouse?

 

that occurred to me. still would seem weird to fly out here just to check it out and then fly back out west for a game tomorrow (not that all of them will play)...still, that's probably the most likely reason.

lol - try reading what I wrote one more time.

How did I misinterpret this?

I read it as "no other religions encourage their adherents to proselytize"

Is this not what you meant, Tim?

You have to be searching for an opportunity to feel slighted to come up with that interpretation.

I really am confused then. I don't understand why he would say that, and I don't see any other way to read it than the way I did. But if he wasn't saying that Christianity is the only religion that that encourages its adherents to "push their beliefs on others", then my response is a non-sequitur, and I apologize. I really don't see another way to read.

I really am confused then. I don't understand why he would say that. The word "other" seems to indicate the way I read it, no?

Because you came in whining about everybody but Christians getting to express themselves.

And I stand by that. Its a little ridiculous that people would be so offended by a song.

[jersey cubs fan]

I'm more offended by his Christianity.

[Bull]

I'm more offended by his Christianity.

I'm thankful to live in a country where you have that right. That does not preclude his right to play his favorite song like everyone else.

[jersey cubs fan]

I'm more offended by his Christianity.

Thankfully, in America, you have that right. That does not preclude his right to play his favorite song like everyone else.

I'm telling you man, that's not his favorite song. And in this country we frown on shameless promotion

I'm clearly still missing something. Why is it not his favorite song?

Literally nobody except religious creeps want to hear any kind of religious pop song because it's all terrible garbage music.

I like a wide variety of music. On my goto playlist is Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley and Elton John. As a musician, there is very little on Christian radio that I find appealing. But the "all Christian music is crap" was 25 years ago. You specifically said "religious pop" and I would probably agree. But to me most all pop music is garbage.

 

There are niches within the niche where you can find some great music. PM and I'll send you some examples. I wouldn't want to provide links publicly, thereby inflicting my views on innocent bystanders :wink:

So... How 'bout them Cubbies?

[Cubswin11]

Folwer is hitting leadoff and Heyward is hitting second to start the year, though I'm guessing we will see some combo other than those 2 before we even get to the home opener.
