I think I'll give them a listen. And that kinda furthered my point above. With the street clothes, yeah its gonna sound good, but besides some moshing....maybe...it wont be a fun show. With System, even if the band is off that night, you're still gonna go home saying "boy, they really looked nice tonight" lol.

The above made no sense. You are forming incoherent sentences. SOAD is always off because it is turning into a band full of hopefuls instead of a hopeful band. Static-X doesn't have to dress up to get a good live show.

They never said drafting. They said "sending" and if you paid attention to politics and US actions during the war, the recruiters are always sent to the poorest cities in America first. Here in the suburbs of Detroit(near Pontiac), we have recruiters from every branch of the military at our lunches...yet down the street, in a richer part of town(Bloomfield Hills) there are no recruiters in sight. The poor are, indeed, the ones being sent over. They have less to lose.

Rich and middle class people are fighting over there too, if you knew anything you'd realize they still have a choice as to being sent over. The whole message of the song is ridiculous seeing as every single person that is over there had a choice to be there or not.

It made sense. I will occasionally have a run-on sentence or two, but it makes sense. I prefer System, I like the sound better, and their show looks better. Look what dressing up did for Kiss(not that I like Kiss). Kiss sucks ass, but I bet the show is fun. Pyrotechnics and all.

And I'm not trying to start an arguement on Kiss....I'm just using them as an example.

Rich and middle class are over there because they want to, because it's the "right thing to do." The poor, like the ones from Flint and Pontiac Michigan, are over there because the recruiters wouldnt get out of their face and money was promised to them, and to their families, if they fought. For some, they dont really have a choice, its poverty or war.

:laughing:

You really think those people fight for money?
You make more at McDonalds than you do in the military

DearJenny 04-15-2006 10:19 PM
Yeah, they do, because its better than being in a ****hole like Pontiac. Gives purpose as well.

So they would rather be in a sh*thole like Iraq?
That makes no sense
