Daily Good Charlotte Hate Thread 10th May 2008
I have read some of Good Charlotte's writings. While I disagree with much of their content, I do not intend to attack Good Charlotte's opinions, only to offer my own viewpoints. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that I can't make heads or tails of Good Charlotte's complaints. I mean, does it want to confuse the catastrophic power of state fascism with the repression of an authoritarian government in our minds or doesn't it? Good Charlotte has gotten away with so much for so long that it's lost all sense of caution, all sense of limits. If you think about it, only an organization without any sense of limits could desire to obstruct things. Good Charlotte's apologues are some of the most self-deceiving, amateurish, and obstreperous I've ever encountered. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life.
According to Good Charlotte, most people believe that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to subvert time-tested societal norms. Really? Does Good Charlotte have some sort of mind-reading ability or did it get its information from a less reliable source? If you need help in answering that question, you may note that Good Charlotte is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, it frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to use lethal violence as a source of humor. Anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that we must honestly place blame where it belongs -- in the hands of Good Charlotte and its ugly bedfellows. Does that sound extremist? Is it too sniffish for you? I'm sorry if it seems that way but that's life.
The fact that it is better to be a little old-fashioned, but honest and loyal, than enlightened and modern, but prodigal and irritating is distressing, to say the least. In general, the spirits of our ancestors grieve as they watch Good Charlotte inject even more fear and divisiveness into political campaigns. Sure, there are exceptions, but if we don't denounce those who claim that it has mystical powers of divination and prophecy, our children will curse us in our graves. Speaking of our children, we need to teach them diligently that to join Good Charlotte's cabal, one must deal with membership rules, brainwashing rituals, huge amounts of money, and meeting locations enveloped in secrecy. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that even if one is opposed to viperine sesquipedalianism (and I am), then surely, it gets a lot of perks from the system. True to form, Good Charlotte ceaselessly moves the goalposts to prevent others from benefiting from the same perks. This suggests that if it doesn't like it here, then perhaps it should go elsewhere. Okay, this letter has become much too long so I'll just jump right to the punchline: My task -- our task -- is to examine Good Charlotte's worldview from the perspective of its axiology (values) and epistemology (ways of knowing).

I don't really do that. It was a good respnse to your post though. Although I did do a bachelors degree in Information systems at university, which is largely computer related. So that's not so bad.
My actual job is with South East Asias largest logistics company. Not totally computer related, but I do rely heavily on my trusty pocket PC. -

You are missing out on a simple user friendly message board.
this is messy, visually retarded and overcomplicated. A simple message board would be great. oprah.com has some awesome discussion forums. -

This board still has no mods ?
I miss the Harry Potter-ish looking one. -

I think they're hoping the insanity can control itself.

Ok... so point of this message... it appears to me... is to post an over the top rant, using all these big mature words, a lot of ism's and the likes, either to feed some weird craving to prove the intellectual ability of the thread starter, to generally annoy, confuse or just rant in an absurd way, on a message board that is for Good Charlotte FANS... To just chill out talk about their favourite band and other topics of the day.
People make their own decisions dude... live with it.. don't preach about it, and if you are going to preach, do it somewhere where that might appreciate it. Not on a fan site.
Why do people get off on causing trouble and hating on others? Jeez. THAT is whats wrong with this board, this world... the people in it... there's too much focus on the bad, who cares if the links are a dodgy brown/green colour? It works doesn't it? So it may not be your favourite colour, but someones probably got it in their bedroom. We can't all be pleased at once.
Instead of posting all this ranting about the band (which some may be true, I'm not going to majorly research it to find out) why don't you go do a study on all the good that GC have done for people? All the positive influences they've had on kids lives? How they inspire people to achieve... Why not do this hey? Something good?
Oh that's right because society is so f***** up people don't care about that do they? No lets all go jerk off to the bad s*** happening in the world... and hey lets all go look on these sites where kids have a laugh, make friends and generally ESCAPE the realities of life for a few brief moments and lets mess them up as well... lets try and destroy their view of people they class as idols...
What harm are GC doing really? None, They are doing far more good. -
