off the top of my head without looking at WMP. I'm probably forgetting some really obvious things
The Beatles, for instance. They basically invented music.
I said bands I like.
edit: oh yeah, bands I like who invented music, Zepp and Floyd.
Listen, bro. The Beatles are like...there's like a gene and we all have it and it's the liking-Beatles gene and if you deny it you deny your very humanity.
I'd rather listen to Rebecca Black
or Coldplay
or Radiohead
in that order
Now you're just trolling. Rebecca Black before Radiohead? Come on. You can't possibly hate yourself that much.
I mean I was trolling you too, but the difference here is that I'm a level 80 warrior troll that will bash your face out with full high end warrior gear and you're just a level 12 scrappy troll running around the swamp killing fish-men for coppers trying to level up to learn how to be a better troll. Tsk, tsk.
I dunno, man.
Rebecca Black is terrible in an amusing sort of way.
Radiohead is terrible in a...terrible sort of way.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.
In Last.fm's top 20 artists list, there are four bands I like and Nirvana are the only one of those bands where I enjoy all of their albums.
God, Last.fm's lists are terrible. SOAD have more plays than Zepp? I hate people.
In fairness most Zepp fans probably don't know how to work a computer.
Every 13 year old who's ever picked up a guitar can play Stairway.

I will abide by whatever reasonable social expectations there are in the people around me, but I would never deliberately seek out a friendship with a person who couldn't handle frank discussions of sex and pooping. And if they wanted to talk about pooping during sex, I would really want to know what's the deal with that because I think it's just gross.

like, the fundamental disconnect here isn't whether people are comfortable talking about sex- it's whether people have the social awareness (rooted in basic empathy, by the way, liberals) to respect the feelings of others
and if you can't observe that a friend is uncomfortable, or worse observe it and pounce on it to further your 'point'... you're the regressive, not him
I just put this under the "dont be a dick" umbrella
If someone doesn't want to talk about something, or be around something, or whatever, the polite thing is to not do that thing
for some, furthering their cause is far more important than observing basic social niceties.
sort of? I mean you know I agree with you about most of this but if someone is really freaked out about, say, two dudes on the other side of the restaurant holding hands then they are kind of a contemptible coward
i don't really see that as the same thing. holding hands or basic affectionate gestures are appropriate to polite society, and i would include gay dudes holding hands in public as being under that umbrella.
talking explicitly about sexual acts or encounters in mixed company is inappropriate and disrespectful whether you're straight or gay or a swinger or whatever else.
Will, the problem is in the phrase "social niceties," which is ambiguous and doesn't have a universal definition. I mean, what is a social nicety to you is not necessarily a social nicety to someone else, and you might be personally accepting of some public behaviors that others might not - I guarantee you there are some people that find even holding hands in public to be beyond the pale.
I mean, you can only really judge by your own compass, but those compasses are not necessarily synchronized among all of society.
edit: In other words, you can't please everyone. Shouldn't really try to. Though I would agree there are some universal limits. You shouldn't bend your girlfriend over your Applebee's booth and start fucking her in front of everyone else, for instance. I think we can all agree on that. (Unless she's really hot.)

I don't want to watch two dudes make out in public just as much as i don't want to watch a guy and a girl make out in public
I guess there are degrees. I don't like seeing people like groping and dry-humping, but I don't really count passionate kisses in that category.
And those two people are focused on each other, they're not talking to the hypothetical observer.
If I do see a dude and a girl climbing all over each other, I might be like jeez but I'm not going to assume they're being in my face with some sort of statement.

I agree but I think it illustrates that what makes an observer uncomfortable is not always the best barometer. It is a useful guideline, certainly, but it can't be the end-all be-all.

Would you talk about the kinky sex you had with some random chick/dude you picked up last night in front of your Mom?
I know I wouldn't.
Sure, there's a lot I wouldn't talk to my mom about, but that doesn't overlap what I would talk about in public. I wouldn't talk about atheism with a Priest, or where to find a good burger with a bunch of vegetarians, but I'd discuss both in public -- or a public forum, such as what this place is.

I was a frat guy in college, and I don't drink beer or wear shorts and I only wear polo shirts because that's the sort of shit they want me to wear at work (never wore them during college)!

Yeah, I are you unusually open with your mom or something?
There are many things I'd feel comfortable sharing with a complete stranger, but not my mother.
Hell, my mom was basically my confidant if anyone in my family ever was, and there are dozens of things I would never have told her that I wouldn't mind telling someone outside of my family, or even outside of my friends. It's not even a matter of embarrassment, either, there are just some things a mother (either parent, really) doesn't need to know.

the only time I ever discussed sex with my mom was in high school when every year or so she'd stop the car, sigh, look over at me and tell me that I could tell her if I was gay, she wouldn't mind
every thirteen year old thinks they can play stairway, but they usually fuck up the articulation, they almost all mess up the slide at the end of the intro... and none of them know anything past the first minute of the song

Poo is gross. It is way TMI. Gross bodily functions aren't a thing that needs to be discussed. Yeah, everybody poops, I don't need a reminder.

I do not do this.
You guys gave me shit about it before.
But I figure I still have a lot of growing up to do before I start caring, so eat it.
The deal with that is child abuse, usually.
I meant public, like on the bus, in a restaurant, someplace where other people who are not part of the conversation are likely to overhear.
it makes no sense
