Wow, you had ...

<t>For the record, I really DO wish I had time to really go into detail and keep this going, because it's been one of the best threads I've ever contributed to on any board, any site. I'm currently working with AutoCad and working in retail electronics sales (hourly, not commission-based) making ...

<t>Oh no, definitely not. The Marilyn Manson thing was way off on a tangent. It's meant for an entirely different conversation, but it came up and I was definitely not going to let Marilyn Manson be categorized next to ICP. Regardless of my musical tastes, my interpretation of their lyrics, and ...

<r>I'll have to deliver my actual rebuttal to Jives tomorrow after a night of sleep, but thanks for the response... For tonight, I'd just like to point you all in this direction...<br/>

I do hope this link works...<br/>

lol. Well of course I don't listen to them, I love life. <br/>

As do I, and many fans of this band. We're not angry or suicidal, but obviously you're going to have a broad range of people in a fan base of a particular band, especially when dealing with ...

<r>LOL thanks hotsauce... Actually "Smarktown" comes from the name of a one-time quite popular professional wrestling editorial website I created. Believe it or not, the word "smark" is a combination of the words mark (someone who really gets into the show to the point where it becomes their reality ...

<t>OK, here you go.<br/>

This song serves two purposes within the realm of ICP's storyline. One, it's the shock factor that exists simply to **** people off and get parents upset (see also: F*** the World) just as guys like Howard Stern do every day. That's the obvious part, and I'm sure ...

<t>So...while I can't interpret each song based on it's individual merits, and while I don't have time to go into great detail about how ICP stands for racial equality, economic fairness, and just generally being nice to each other... I'd like to offer this tidbit in addition to Terrible... this is ...

<t>Not EVERYONE over thirty has no ability to reason. It's a generalization. You know, like "people that listen to music like this are violent, desensitized lost souls."<br/>

However, I can't help but notice how many 30+ people think our attack and ensuing occupation of Iraq was somehow ...

I thought I might have to offer supporting facts...<br/>

But you done all the hard work for me by typing a laugh in large type with absolutely no reason that I'm wrong or anything to support the opposing view.<br/>

<t>I do recall saying something to the effect of "underneath it all, there's a good message." This means you have to INTERPRET the positive message in most of the songs.<br/>

Gee, that line doesn't require much interpretation, does it?<br ...

<t>I only read about 10% of the posts on this thread, and I see that txjuggalo wanted to sound like a rebel. Let me say on behalf of thousands of FORMER Juggalos that it wasn't always like it is now. After the Amazing Jeckyl Brothers dropped, ICP went very, VERY commercial.<br/>
