Putting out multiple lines on both sides of the boat: now that's some first-rate trolling there, subby.

Sam Sommers is apparently an super-conformist, so anything that doesn't conform is bad. Great thinking.

Oh for craps sake's, you don't put it on when you're doing it. You play it on the car ride home, while having a drink or whatever but when it's time to get funky you put on some NIN or something else that's appropriate.

I don't care for NB one way or the other. But I think if WonderWoman's golden lasso of truth were applied, you'd find that most Nickeback hate on the intertubes is just people going along with the crowd.

The local rock station plays them all the time (I think they have a contract or something) so I hear them a lot on the drive home. I realized that like every single new Nickelback song is about drinking and screwing hot chicks. It's painfully obvious now how hard they are trying to be cool. "Hey guys we party, we like sex with women!"
I don't know who they are trying to convince at this point.

the State assumed it would collapse on its own. When it didn't, it had to be crushed, so it wouldn't be an example.

"When we read about bad behavior, whether it's people committing crimes, rioting, etc., we immediately assume that that person is a bad apple, that we would never do something like that. It makes us feel better about ourselves"... Like writing such a poorly, unresearched and unreferenced piece of garbage like that article. I know that when I go to the mall and my favorite rap artist is not there ... I riot and throw chairs too!

'Breathe' off the 'The State' is the only song worth listening to by them, IMHO. Even then, it loses points because Nickelback is still Nickelback.

Look, I don't care what GQ tells you these days - if we can see the outline of your testicles and / or every dimple in your ass and thighs, your jeans are too tight. A nice relaxed fit is generally the smart approach.

Okay, so I didn't read the entire article, but I think I get where the writer is going after reading the first page. Is it really newsworthy to point out that our surroundings and past experiences play a part in how we'll act in a given situation? Any of us who've ever heard the word "psychology" are familiar with the Nature vs. Nurture argument, and this article looks like someone stumbled across this amazing revelation that we'll react certain ways based on our experiences. NO SHIAT.
/I understand why Nickelback is popular, I just wish they didn't hog up so much air time on the radio. There are other bands to which I'd prefer to listen.
//If I never hear "Photograph" again, it will be too soon.
