I've never seen Motley Crue live but I watched one of their newer concert films on Palladium a couple months ago and was fucking blown away by how good it was. Even my friend who hates hair metal was impressed. Those guys put on one hell of a show.

There's nothing embarassing or "ironic" whatsoever about going to these shows. Guns N Roses is legitimately one of the greatest rock bands in history.

Seriously. That section of the review was like a caricature of a Millenial: "Fuck that dork over there who's enjoying the moment without a smartphone in his hand. Everyone knows that fun only counts if you take a selfie and get at least fifty likes. DO YOU EVEN INSTAGRAM, BRO?!?!?"

Apparently it's uncool to show the band you're watching that you support them by wearing their merch, which is the exact opposite of a sporting event.

Pretentious Hipster Dipshit Goes to 80s Hard Rock Band Reunion Concert, Is Annoyed To Find Older Crowd Actually Having Fun Instead of Pretending To Hate the Band They Paid To See Like Millenials Do.

I really don't see why it is strange. GnR was a massively popular band that wrote songs people still enjoy to this day, and there really aren't any modern bands who still write songs like that. It makes sense people will want to see them.

"If the country really is Clintonian "center-left," then the country is wrong. "

How do the majority of Americans feel about universal health care?

There's been at least one academic study (University of Texas) that has completely shattered the myth that the media "annointed" Hillary with fawning coverage. They actually found the exact opposite. Hillary endured more negative press coverage than any primary candidate in history.

Case in point.

Sanders suporters, like all failed revolutionaries, cannot accept the fact that Sanders' actual policy positions are simply not in line with what the majority of Americans believe. This is why he lost the primary. He's too radical for the Democratic party (which is center-left and always has been), and the people

You act like Hillary Clinton was the first hawk in the history of the Democratic Party.

During the Clinton administration alone, we conducted aerial bombings and strike campaigns within the borders of Bosnia, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Serbia. We were not at war with any of these countries. I get that you have an objection to Obama's drone campaign but now you are saying things that are just

We do drone strikes in Northwest Afghanistan because the Taliban targets do not recognize the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan and move between the two, and Pakistan doesn't have control of this region. We do these strikes with their secret approval, by the way. The Pakistani government officially denounces the

War is war. Drone strikes kill far fewer civilians than conventional ground wars do. Your argument doesn't seem to be against drone warfare so much as war itself.

Could you please elaborate WHY my comparison to Dresden is absurd?

It's not illusory, it's real. Most military historians and analysts estimate that about half of all deaths in a conventional ground war are civilians. Accurate estimates on civilian death rates for drone strikes are difficult because the primary sources for these usually come from biased or unreliable sources. Either

The risk is little different than our previous strike methods: cruise missiles and laser guided bombers. A F-22 pilot dropping a laser-guided bomb on an AQ hideout from 30,000 feet is not at any real risk of being shot down. And a cruise missile is, well a cruise missile. Fired from a warship hundreds of miles away.

Yes. Instead of eight years of right wing dipshits making racist comments about the president, we'll have eight years of right wing dipshits making sexist comments about the president.

While watching the Sept explosion scene with friends last Sunday, I couldn't resist breaking the awkward ensuing silence in the room with a well-timed sarcastic "THANKS, OBAMA."
