They have songs that don't say fark 80 times in thirty seconds?

Something must be done about swearing 80 times for fun

I would like to point out that anti-establishment lyrics does not mean that RATM's music is anything other than boring and repetitive.

Rally round tha family, pockets full a shells.

Stay the fark away from Tom Morello, then. He's like a vampire, only instead of blood he drinks medals.

I was wondering what angle the lunkheads would take on decorated veterans speaking their own minds. There is apparently no bottom of the barrel.

I must have missed the part after 'support our troops' that says 'as long as they agree with me.'

Yeah thats really wrong.

And tom morello is a farking douche, he should get hit by a bus crossing the street or at least a homeless guy should beat the shiat out of him for preaching about the lower class while driving back to his mansions.

the comment was directed more at tom morello being a hack. i don't agree with awarding someone who thinks che guevera shirts are cool with medals honoring OUR soldiers. so i do support our troops. this particular troop was, IMO, just trying to be associated with rage from his days in high school.

Ugh! I farking HATE Rage Against the Machine. What a bunch of poser assholes. First of all, rebellion does not come neatly packaged in a jewel-case at $20 a pop. Second of all, if they were really so anti-establishment, why did they disband when W became the president, only to get back together once he was on his way out. Did they have something against the economic prosperity and climate of hope in the Clinton years that somehow made it okay to ignore the rise of the Right Wing and the illegal, unjust, and immoral war in Iraq? How does it make sense to rebel against the good times and to blatantly ignore the bad? Your name is Rage Against the Machine, but when there's something actually outrageous going on, they disappear? Third of all, every freakin' song they record sounds exactly the same! And that's not great!

That said, Tom Morello is an amazing and innovative guitarist, but Zach de la cockRocha is a whiney pussy whom I will punch in the face if I ever meet him. He's not a rebel. He's just another rock star getting rich off kids to dumb to think for themselves. I hope somehow you're reading this Zach, you farking pussy.

Rage Against The Machine's music totally sucks, but what they're doing is right. And if a soldier decides to give the medals he earned to them, that is totally none of the farking business of you and I. Come criticize them when you've earned a few medals.

FTFY, although I didn't have to change the every song sounds the same part and couldn't bring myself to call "The Edge" amazing or innovative.

Yeah ya snarky prick. Your profile has "douche" written all over it. I'm not a proponent of the war in Iraq by any means, but anybody who has
1) gone over there at all
2) comes home with medalS

Is a better man than I'll ever be.

And if he's better than me, well, there isnt even a need to mention you.

Oh come the fark on, man, it's the US military. "And this one's for the time I went to the dentist, and this one's for advanced driving, and this one's for having an acceptable hair length for a five year period."

They dish those things out like candy.

It would be great if instead of just moshing to Rage music, the younger generations in the US would consider it, and use it as a call to action in one form or another. Right now, our populace is ridiculously complacent. I'm not saying RATM has good ideas or bad ideas, but I do appreciate their interest in politics and their ability to turn it into what some consider enjoyable music.
