Awesome song, heard it on Fallout: New Vegas. It's really sad that music has gone from songs about justice and pride in officers of the law to what "music" is now- all about "killin' niggas, smackin' hos, and dealing drugs." Paradigm shifts like this happen and people still wonder why America, even more the world at large, is going down the toilet. |

Yeah, a few years later... What this is talking about when they complain about is not real tolerance, but the new-age "tolerance" that is shoved down people's throats by so-called "enlightened liberals" who believe that everything is permissible and that it is wrong to tell someone that they are wrong. (Contradiction alert!) The difference between real and modern "tolerance" is simple: real tolerance is saying, "Ok, you are different and I disagree with you, but I will not disrespect you because I believe you are wrong." Modern "tolerance" is where you, as previously stated, must never tell someone they are wrong, because you might hurt their pwecious, wittle feewings (baby talk for "precious, little feelings). As to the "kinder, gentler way" that they refer to, it is the attempt by society at large to take the masculinity out of men and turn them into gender-neutral "people" at best. This is especially noticeable with the rise of the "metrosexual" culture where men are acting more feminine and are, across the board, losing the drive and ability to stand up and be men. Men are supposed to be aggressive and combative but also able to control those drives, unleashing them only when necessary. Without men who know how to be men, you can see the state of the modern American "family" and the extreme rise of dysfunctionality in families and youth. Ask any psychologist you can find, a child will always be at least slightly mal-adapted if they grow up in a single-parent home. The "old" (read: original) American Way was self-reliance, self-determination, and perseverance in the face of adversity. The "new" American Way is being a passive push-over, all-excepting, spineless person who stands up for nothing and looks to someone else to solve his problems. These things are all offensive, especially to the fiercely independent Irish culture which still lives strongly in these men and Irish-rooted communities. Hopefully, we can spread the better way back to dominance in this country and make it as great as it once was. |

| Muse – Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption) Lyrics

How is it pretentious? These men are amazing musicians, and symphonies are written BY musicians. This is not pretentious at all. Was it pretentious for Mozart or Beethoven? Just because Muse generally does not write symphonies does not mean that they are not allowed to. And, ALL of their music has always been artistic, visionary, and ambitious. BTW, "pretentious" is defined by Merriam Webster as: : characterized by pretension [which is "an allegation of doubtful value"]: as A : making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing) B : expressive of affected, unwarranted, or exaggerated importance, worth, or stature" |
