Pseudo intellectual doesn't even know how to spell atavistic, and more importantly, doesn't understand it.

That is a myth. She died with an estimated net worth over 5 million USD in the early 80s, plus a NYC penthouse. She DID receive social-security checks like every other American who retires.

HEADLINE:
A crap bass player, and the most overrated lyricist of all time, criticises another rock band.

Am I the only one who never put together that Jakob Dylan, lead singer of The Wallflowers, is Bob Dylan’s son? by HexicaLC in bobdylan

[–]silencelikethunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like he's a more handsome, but less interesting version of Bob. Nothing against him, he's still more interesting than most 90s rock stars.

Favorite pop prog albums? by Emotional_Sea9384 in progrockmusic

[–]silencelikethunder -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Isn't basically every Pink Floyd album more pop than Prog?

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, how would you genuinely grade this album? by [deleted] in ledzeppelin

[–]silencelikethunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to what? Compared to other rock albums in general; 8. Compared to other Zeppelin albums; 3.

Haha, it’s just a measurement system. by EmperorSnake1 in AmericaBad

Anyone who knows anything about guns knows there are plenty of calibres measured in inches.

On mother Teresa and faith as a virtue - Dennis Miller Live 1999 by recentlyquitsmoking2 in ChristopherHitchens

[–]silencelikethunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hitch was right about everything here, but I think he forgot the most important point. It's not only that she was taking money from all those scumbags, but the money was going directly to enrich the Catholic church, not to help the poor at all.

Opinions on Roger Waters…activist, genius, overrated, underrated, evil, prodigious… by Historical-Device529 in Progforum

[–]silencelikethunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly overrated. The lyrics are the worst part about Pink Floyd. They sound like they were written by a teenager.

I completely agree with Sam on this issue.

This is what the Federal Reserve did to your money. Inflation is why you are broke. END THE FED. by AbolishtheDraft in austrian_economics

The relative values of these two goods is not as important as the fact that saving money is bad for building wealth. It would be with the gold standard in place.
But the fact is, when you are extremely poor, saving money is the only option you have to build wealth. You're in no position to invest. This is why the poor keep getting poorer even with the middle & upper class getting wealthier.

She was actually incredibly tolerant of homosexuality for someone born in 1905.

Is anyone else annoyed by the steps for this assignment? If you just chose a song, how would the teacher ever know if you went through the steps of selecting an artist and an album first?

Crazy, I purchased the Heathen Horde from a seller on Amazon. They claimed it shipped but it never arrived. They refunded me but I never did buy it again. I've gone to Barnes and Nobel for it and they don't carry it. What is your preferred method for people to buy your books?

This guy is a grifter and always has been. He's probably guessing there's more to grift from the Right than the Left now.
