Sorry I couldn't reply to this earlier, I was unable to join the forums, no doubt due to database corruption.
The reason for my "assaulting you" as you seem to have interpreted it, is because you have done so, albeit in a more subtle way. In my experience, you like picking apart people's opinions because you believe your own to be far superior, along with your "intelligence". You're smart, but because I don't agree with what you say, it doesn't make me an ignorant idiot.
Translating everything I do, like you have now, is an example of bending the truth. Everyone does this, want it or not, I just believe you to be conscious of it.
Let's start with "crack", because it is a phrase I enjoy using. It isn't meant in the way you may have interpreted it. More jokingly so.
I don't recall calling you a nazi or similar, but I suppose you have your way of insulting people. My political views are not based on any sort of ignorance, nor are they based on the "wolf sheep" system. I am not referring to everyone who enjoys mainstream music as sheep, I am referring to the ones merely following the crowd, liking the music for one reason because everyone else does. I take "shots" at the "sheep" because I believe every person should think for themselves. Wolves are not cruel beings, although, a lot of ignorant people seem to think so (I don't know if you're well versed in biology and how things work in nature, but I just felt the need to clarify this)
For your "summery", there's perhaps the possibility I regretted blowing my top. You know, remorse? Everyone isn't trying to screw you over.
Wolves, as you may or may not know, both move in packs, and alone. Something you, as (after what I've read) a person not too well informed of how wolves act. Your connotations to a wolf may be shared by many, but most of them are flawed and have no true foundation in real life.
I was hoping you'd understand the "ignorance is bliss" thing, but apparently not. In my country, a lot of people listen to music with absolutely no regard for the lyrics. I suppose I should have replaced "ignorance" with "apathy", as that may be a more correct word in this matter. They don't care if the artists are making the music for money and money alone, if they put any of their soul in their work (the way I perceive music, some music has soul, some doesn't - not that I like all the music I can sense a certain soul in, but every song I like has a 'soul' so to say).
As for your whole attempt at making me out to be a discriminative a-hole, let me clear things up further, as you seem to have the near-magical ability of making everything out to be evil.
My reference to "your people", is indeed, to the USA. I was not making a reference to race, I was making a reference to culture. Cultures are different in every country you go to. I would have thought you, being an intelligent person (obviously, as you've just managed to make me seem like a nazi when I'm quite far away from such, you must have a certain level of intelligence), would have understood this, but obviously I must phrase things better in the future.
For your "Americans aren't stupid" bit, didn't I say exactly what you just did? And did you not just make me out to have said the opposite?! You should be in politics.
"c)" My people aren't "intelligent" as in they're not smarter than everybody else. We don't have fantastic test-scores. We aren't scoring any better than anybody else would with our level of education and so forth. I've been in five different schools total, and in every single one I have seen a large number of what I like to call "idiots". As I can't judge your country on intelligence, I have naturally assumed you're on equal grounds in terms of intelligence, or higher. Higher not being unlikely in the least.
As when it comes to ignorance, it's a problem in every country, but in my experience with the US and their policies with ... a lot, your country comes out fairly low on the "informed" scale. My country has yet to go to war against any other countries, nor have we faked a report claiming Iraq had WMD's. People just taking this kind of bull**** is a sign of ignorance.
When it comes to "generalizations" etcetera, what did you do when you heard I said I was a wolf? You assumed I was just another of the people wanting to be "unique", and stand out. That's a generalization. You also took all the wolves under one coam, thinking they were cruel predators with malevolent intentions. Don't even bother trying to lecture me on wolves and how they "are", I have been well-informed by people having worked with this subject, as it is one of certain discussion and controversy in our country.
If you've got nothing better to do than flame me, go right ahead, but I suggest you spend your time on better things. I wish I had, rather than post without reading what I actually wrote (very, very bad habit I've had for ages - intending on dropping it). To clarify things, I am not in the least narcissistic (at least from the original source of the word, I don't know your connotations to it - all I know is that it's from Greece, and it started with a man named Narcissius or something, falling into the water, drowning, because he couldn't stop staring at his own image).
What it means to be a predator? A predator fights to survive. You fight for fun. I don't want good music to be thrashed because they're not backed by some major record-company. I "fight" for the survival of the music I like.
Who am I to take away your fun in insulting me 'till you run out of clever ways of pointing out I'm not the smartest, nor the most informed person in the world (something it seems to me, you think you are - but that's just my opinion). I request admins not punish Zeo for flaming me. That's my Christmas present to you, Zeo. Knock yourself out. It's wrapped up nicely, ready for you to tear it open. "Predator"-away.
