Another band that's getting some grief now is Mudvayne for some comments they made about Bush.  I heard the band members being interviewed on the local radio station and I missed the part about what was said, but basically the guys were making pretty bad comments w/ absolutely nothing backing them up.

I agree about the chicks. I used to think they were cool but not anymore. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but they should not use their celebrity status to pipe off! I heard that Cheryl Crow has spoken as well........I sure hope it isn't true cause i kinda thought she was cool being involved with Nascar and all.

I'm sure Sheryl Crow had something to say, but she usually keeps it a little more sensible than what the Chicks did.  Sheryl is always speaking out for peace, and not wanting war, but I've never heard her make comments like the derogatory comments made by the Chicks.

 

And hey she has the right to be against war and say that she is, just like I have the right to be for this particular war.  As long as she isn't making personally degrading statements about the people who are for it then she has the right to oppose it.  Now if she starts acting like the Chicks, I'll have to stop liking her too.

I was watching the news on Monday morning and one of the newscasters was saying he broke all of his Dixie Chicks CDs. He called their comments treason. I was really surprised, this guy doesn't usually express his opinions so passionately.

He called out for everyone who had a ticket to thier tour in America to tear them up...he did. I wonder if people will still go to their concert. I know I wouldn't.

Forget tearing up the ticket......get a refund.  That will hurt them more.  They don't really care whether you or I show up to their concert after we paid for the ticket. :devil:

I agree that their comments were uncalled for, and in poor taste, but I think calling them "traitors" is a bit harsh.

 

Robert Hanssen is a traitor.

Jonathan Pollard is a traitor.

Aldrich Ames is a traitor.

Most would agree that Jane Fonda is a traitor. (Whole other thread on that one.)

 

I could go on and on.

 

The Dixie Chicks comments are protected by the first amendment. They are not however, traitors.

 

They have done nothing to harm Americans, or put American lives at risk.

 

A goofy woman made a goofy comment. Put me in front of that many people, and I would probably say something pretty stupid too.

 

Please bear in mind that I am for what we are doing, and I despise the comments that were made of our Commander in Chief.

 

Soapbox mode off. :chevy:

Wingnut, I think you make a good point, traitor is a bit harsh.  Actually speaking your mind is a right given to citizens of this country, how could doing so be condiered treasoness?

 

I am totally for what we are doing, and I have been for it the whole time.  HOWEVER, I still feel that everyone has the right to be against it if they want.  And if the comments had only been something against war I would not have a problem with them.  What I do have a problem with is the direct attack at our commander in cheif at such a critical time.  But like you pointed out, that is protected by our Constitution as well.

Well I know 1 of the local morning show guys said he wouldn't play their stuff.  I did hear them on 1 station in town though...before I hit the tuner.

for being a greedy, money hungry, moron, just trying to finish daddy's war

 

Here's a quote I could find about one thing Mudvayne had said.  They must've said a lot more because the guys on the radio are still talking about it.

 

-edit-

 

Found two articles about it:

 

http://www.boston.com/dailygl....+.shtml

 

http://www2.bostonherald.com/entertainment...adi03142003.htm

Well, I'm sorry, but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

 

I'm not burning or destroying any CDs that I currently own, it wouldn't do anybody any good. It would be a total waste of $14.

These are the kind of comments I'm against.

 

But I don't own any of their stuff anyway, and don't even know who they are right off, so I guess it doesn't effet me that much.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
