Y porque los chilenos se alegran?

en que va a influir eso en sus vidas?!!!!!

[Sazo33]

...estábamos compartiendo la felicidad de Stipe, de todas maneras, que haya salido Obama en EE.UU era una "buena" noticia, ya que el otro candidato era peor aún (má de lo mismo)... en fín, nos guste o no EE.UU es la potencia mundial y sus decisiones afectan a todo el mundo...

Stipe politizó mucho el recital, pero eso ha sido REM siempre...

This concert would have bugged the crap out of me. If he did this after virtually every song there would be no flow to the concert. If they wanted to watch the election returns so badly they shouldn't have scheduled a gig on that date.

Hey MikeStanley4.. relax dude, the concert have a lot of flow and it was great.. believe me, really great!

@gr8stipe

gr8stipe you are retarded. why are you arguing with a fellow REM fan over politics? have the decency to respect one's political beliefs. if you wanna fight poltiics, take it elsewhere. this is about rem!!!! and for the record, nobody knows what the hell you were trying to say in your first comment. that shit was ridiculous to read

It's the Irish in him. Irish people tend to look about 15-20 years older than what they actually are.

If you think I'm from Wasilla, then you must obviously be from Elkhart, Indiana right?

You cannot properly construct a sentence. You have no idea how to use punctuation. The first reply you wrote could give a first grader a challenge.

My friend, you're the dumbass here. What would Michael say when he finds out that he's attracted a idiot like yourself to the flock?

[gr8stipe]

let me guess. you're from wasilla, alaska, right?

[truefaith00]

If I knew what your were implying from the start, I obviously wouldn't have responded. Your reply was a confusing, poorly written comment so I didn't know what you were trying to say.

[gr8stipe]

you just proved my point and exposed yourself. check and mate.

[truefaith00]

I'm sure Stipe, like many Americans, is feeling a bit disappointed by his presidency so far.

@truefaith00

if you don't what he would think of you being a libertarian you can't know much about him or his politics. you seem to be judging him because is supports obama. he would not do the same to you

Stipe looks like he is dying of aids
