A) I was refering to the whole "How do we know not to be offended by what you say?" question that you so willingly brought up.
B) I say to people across these boards, "you suck" and other such insults. It's all in how you take it. I don't regard "you suck" as one of the more offensive remarks. Those who do, however, will take more offense than is meant.

i still don't agree with insulting the person rather than the opinion...but if it wasn't intended..
I don't insult the person. I debate their opinion and allowing themselves to have that opinion. I don't say, "You like JoJo there for you're a ****ing wretched piece of filth." I said "If you like Jojo you suck."
Is anyone here actually gonna step up and say "Yeah, that's true."
Because I'm the only one saying it but not the only one thinking it. You have freedom of speech folks, feel free to use it. Don't be restricted by what people will think of your freedom of speech usage, it's your right.

that's a good way of thinking of music...
Think of it like this:
People take classes for years to learn other languages. Books, tapes, teachers...it still takes ages.
You meet a fan from Japan who likes a band from America and they will be able to sing the lyrics to all the songs. I watched a live Muse show in Japan, all of the crowd were singing along in English. Yet when they tried to interview some fans after, they couldn't speak a word.
