[MXDSouldier]

@trackkid56

the word gay actually means happy, not homosexual. So i suppose the only people the word should really bring any amount of pain and suffering to are melancholics.

[tenson95]

il mio gruppo hardcore punk preferito in assoluto...ANTI-FLAG PER LA VITA!!!!!!!!!!

[blackwindsburn]

wrong album art dude

[WhatTheHeckAnimation]

6 people are ignorant

[TokeCannabis]

H/o, am I mistaken? I remember an inteview where someone (justin?) Said they don't even drink.. Validation anyone? Comments, concerns, disagreements?

[FuglyPunk]

@TokeCannabis Yes they are Straight Edge

[beatforthebeaten]

@TokeCannabis but they dont label themselves as straight edge, they just dont do of that

[WhatTheHeckAnimation]

@TokeCannabis yes there was an interview where justin said it as a JOKE! he said "I don't drink...I really don't...I drink BUDWEISER" :P

[OneInNegativeTwo]

the GATT is just the old term for the WTO. Fuck them both. Rape our adriculture, our lower classes, & everyone else with out enough money to actually own anything.

[norevelation]

I remember buying this album when it came out and thinking, "I wonder what G.A.T.T means?" I looked through the booklet that had lyrics and it said something like "You won't find the meaning here, you'll have to find out what it means on your own." And so I did... I found out it means the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade" This is when I began to implement the meaning behind "Finding your own truth". There is nothing more valuable in life than shedding the veil of ignorance.

[Corvidae51]

@norevelation Congrats to your enlightenment. I'm a political science major. Just because I study it doesn't mean I don't aim to one day be apart of abolishing it. Have hope in young scholars.

Justin Sane commented on this. It's not lit so apparently it doesn't count. Also it wasn't for real.. just for the picture.

[TokeCannabis]

@belchingdonkeyy Those pennsylvania boys are shamefully straightedge, bummer.. At least they make beautiful music:p It'd be nice if they ever got down.. just a little..

[sbritt1994]

[socomseal93]

Whats so gay about people trying to change the world for the better by making us want peace not war and makeing ignorance a thing of the past anti flag is hope not some gay band out for money like the foo fighters

[AquaSka753]

nonono wahts wrong with being gay

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

Was that before or after they signed with RCA? Oddly enough the same record label as the Foo Fighters. Go figure.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Its true, they did sign with RCA but only to get their message across to a broader audience, not for profit. Since a lot of fans were angry claiming they were sell outs, when they weren't, they switched to an independent label (Side One Dummy)

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

So they switched to a broader audience by going with a record label who's parent company has contracts with the US military in Iraq. Ya, that's not selling out.

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

And put it this way. Had RCA thought that Anti-Flag was going to hurt either RCA's or Sony's profits they wouldn't of signed them. However they seen there was a profit to be made and RCA realized that Anti-Flag's rebellious yet absolutely harmless lyrics were able to catch a new demographic. This whole broader audience bullshit is just that, bullshit. They wanted a quick dollar and they got it, or RCA played them royal. Either way they're still a bunch of tools.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Thats nice, I don't see it that way but you do, that's great. Clearly we have interpreted the situation differently but there is no need to insult my interpretation by calling it "bullshit". That is very disrespectful and that goes against the message of punk rock "Accept people for their differences". Yes RCA are shit heads but Anti-Flag signed a contract that said they can do what ever they want and it still gets published. That is unheard of aside from indy records.

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

So you're going to act ignorant and pretend that one way or another Anti-Flag wasn't making Sony money? Sony with their contracts in Iraq, a war they are dead set against yet then indirectly supported? Your opinion is going to be bullshit if you're that fucking ignorant. Also Punk Rock was about not giving a shit and getting hammered, not your sissy little fucking message.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Furthermore, some of their songs do have good lyrics such as No Paradise, or No future. The Press corpse and I'm dead also have some fairly decent lyrics as well as some others. The One Trillion Dollars music video also paints a very anti US picture yet it is still hosted by RCA. Your point regarding soft lyrics is moot. Furthermore, in regards to demographic, what demographic are they targeting? I don't know anyone that listens to them aside from a few anarchist friends.

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

Once again, they wouldn't of signed them if they thought they would damage profit. They didn't, they earn RCA money. And I know droves of kids who hang around at Hot fucking Topic talking about how awesome Anti-Flags is. Last week I think they were listening to My Chemical Romance as well.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Lastly, if they were tools then why would they switch to an independent label? If they were out for money, they would stick with RCA and not give a shit about what their fans think. I agree, when I first heard they signed to RCA I was a bit disappointed, but For blood and Empire still turned out great. However, Bright lights of America was pretty awful and I'm glad they have returned to their punk roots. Also, to survive in a capitalist society you must have money or you die!

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

They were tools because for a period of time they were on a record label that SUPPORTED the war in Iraq because it was their parent company's stance. Can you not see the fucking hypocrisy in all this or are you that blind of a fan? There are a few other major record labels that have nothing to do with the war that they could of signed to if they wanted to "broaden their audience".

Also for such a big punk rocker you seem to idolize the military an awful lot. You're a tool too.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 I admit, I used to be a tool when I was 13, but now I don't give a shit about the military. You shouldn't be one to talk though seeing as how you are in the Canadian military. Pasts aside, please elaborate on how RCA is connected with the military, what exactly do they do? I was unaware that RCA was connected with the military in anyway, which if it turns out to be true does change my opinion. Also, if someone disagrees with you, then their a tool. Perhaps you're the real tool?!!

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

RCA is owned by Sony and Sony has about 450 contracts with the US military in Iraq. Anything from batteries for NVG's to computers for UAV's. I'm in the military because I realized that I live in a country that allows bands like Anti-Flag to say the shit they do without being tossed into an unmarked van and never to be seen again. If thats not something worth defending then I don't know what is.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 If you believe the Canadian government is not corrupt, you're wrong. The evidence regarding things they have done is being suppressed by the Gov't just like in other countries with corrupt governments. All countries governments are corrupt in some way, such as the US,UK,France,Germany ECT. You only hear about their corruptness when someone leaks information, which is a rarity. Thankfully wikileaks exists now :) Can't wait to read about the corrupt Canadian government leaks.

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

If you don't like it then go to North Korea. Bitch.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 WTF are you talking about, I just said all countries are fucked up, it doesn't matter where I go, every place is corrupt. So instead of trying to avoid the problems, lets solve them (hence the existence of punk rock) . If you want to continue to be disrespectful and flame me then go ahead, but I'm not going to stoop down to your level of immature name calling. As such, I will no longer respond to your flame comments because I don't care. Arguing gets us no where.

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

Because you're wrong. Thats why you will no longer argue. Hey I have a question though, how come you completely ignored my tying in Anti-Flag with the war in Iraq? I guess Anti-Flag is corrupt as well.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Sony controls most of the music industry and other companies associated with the US Government/Military run all the other competitors to Sony. Essentially, 5 major corporations dominate the entertainment industry and they are all connected to the US Government or Military in some way, so there is not much choice when it comes to choosing a record label. The fact that Anti-Flag has managed to make one of the companies work for them and not the other way around is an achievement

[combatboots711]

@socomseal93

Ya but they still sent money to them. Long story short absolute sell out. Your whole "they made them work for them" line is bullshit. Like I said at any given time if RCA or Sony thought that Anti-Flag would be a threat to profits they wouldn't of signed them. Anti-Flag worked for RCA the entire time.

[waruuum]

@combatboots711 You are a shame to the Punk scene and the ideas behind it... If you can't accept someone else's opinion go listen to pop music you intolerant idiot. And why the heck are you flaming socomseal93... he just wants to defend his position...

[combatboots711]

@waruuum

Guess what, his opinion is wrong. He thinks they never sold out when they belonged to a record label who's parent company is making a shit ton of cash in Iraq, a war that Anti Flag is "dead set against". You are a shame to common sense. And why yes I believe I will listen to some Taylor Swift just to piss you off.

[waruuum]

@combatboots711 It doesn't matter if he is wrong or right. You are flaming him because he has a different opinion on the topic. So why are you listening to punk if you are that intolerant? And why am I shame to common sense? I just said that you are intolerant and that's evident if you look at your posts.

[combatboots711]

@waruuum

Intolerant am I? You're a goddamn idiot. This isn't an opinion. Thats like saying "Well its my opinion that the sky is purple". Anti-Flag sold out, its not opinion its a fact.

[waruuum]

@combatboots711 Man, you still don't get it, do you? You are sure that they sold out, scomseal93 is convinced that they didn't. You are flaming him because his doesn't share your opinion, and yes it's just an OPINION not a fact.

[combatboots711]

@waruuum

You just don't get it do you. It is the text book definition of selling out. Here is the definition because you don't seem to understand. " "Selling out" refers to the perception that someone is compromising their integrity, morality, or principles in exchange for money or "success" (however defined)." Now explain to me what is morally right about protesting a war yet feeding it cash to support it at the same time. They DID sell out. It is FACT not opinion.

[waruuum]

@combatboots711 Oh and even when somebody says the sky is purple it doesn't give you the right to insult him. You can also give arguments which convince him that he is wrong. But flaming this person... would be just low.

[combatboots711]

@waruuum

Actually if you read the first I didn't flame him, I explained to him the fact that anti flag sold out and he still held on to their testicles like the fanboy he is. Read the entire thing first son.

[waruuum]

@combatboots711 Oh so what is flaming to you then?

"if you don't like it then go to North Korea. Bitch."

"Your opinion is going to be bullshit if you're that fucking ignorant. Also Punk Rock was about not giving a shit and getting hammered, not your sissy little fucking message."

You are bashing on his opinion and drag it in the mud just because it doesn't reflect YOUR opinion --> intolerant. And wait in the second quote you call it opinion and now it's suddendly a factr? Explain!

[combatboots711]

@waruuum

Actually I said at the first I didn't flame him it was after he didn't understand a goddamn word I said that I started to flame him. Also I said it was his opinion and it was wrong. I never said that Anti-Flag selling out was my opinion I was simply stating a fact marking his opinion wrong. Noticed how I said "Your opinion", not "My opinion" but "Your opinion".

So now that its been established as a fact that Anti-Flag is text book definition sold out, why are you still talking?

[21ricky666]

@combatboots711 if you knew how much they gave to charities/non-profit organizations you wouldnt call them sell outs, asshole.

[socomseal93]

@combatboots711 Usually, I don't defend America from its critics but I haven't seen Anti-Flag get thrown into a van yet, and they are from the US. I haven't seen NOFX get thrown in a van yet and their from the US. I haven't see any punk rock bands thrown into jail for political reasons yet.

[giggletwerp3]

@socomseal93 what did the foo fighters do to you?

[socomseal93]

@giggletwerp3 They play pop music designed to make money. They don't play because they want to, they play because they want money.

[utubenotgoodasgvideo]

@socomseal93

Homophobe!

[2shae1980]

@socomseal93 the foo fighters are true music lovers, just because they dont have revolutionary lyrics doesnt mean they are "gay"..... try U2 or Bon Jovi instead
