Cover art for Recipe for Hate lyrics by Bad Religion

its funny cu i learned about this in school today -> the en talks about how our ancestors, the founding fathers, columbus, are glorified by our education and holidys, etc, when in reality columbus was responsible for the arbitrary slaughtering and rap of over 250,000 native americans, and indirectly responsibly for the inhabitance of the americas by europeans. yet we have a holiday for him, and if you read any 5th rgade textbook no mention of their interaction is stated... all it says is that he came and american was forme and they ate thanksgiving dinner.

You really bought the crap in schools today. Mr Graffin wants you to believe the false history. Why don't you read "The 5000 year leap", or the "Road to Serfdom". Oh you won't get those books in school. I'm Sorry to inform you of the fact you are being indoctrinated. Why don't you question even the people who you hold in such high esteem like Mr. Graffin, who is less than honest in his lyrics. Who dispises capitalism but gets rich from it.Bad religion is an extremley dishonest band who is guilty of the same things they accuse others of....

..Are you really that stupid or are you just being a troll? ..Honest question. I guess I have to go ahead and treat the situation as if you're the former.. though I am hoping that's not the case, because that comment was just amazingly uninformed and unintelligent in multiple aspects.

Um, no. Did you not read the post that you replied to? He is not telling us to believe in the "false history" that you're so mindlessly ranting on about. "Indoctrinated" means to be taught from a particular point of view. Do you actually understand what you're saying? Everything you...

  • Um, no. Did you not read the post that you replied to? He is not telling us to believe in the "false history" that you're so mindlessly ranting on about.
  • "Indoctrinated" means to be taught from a particular point of view. Do you actually understand what you're saying? Everything you just said is presenting your (however misguided) point of view on the song. YOU'RE INDOCTRINATING. Not only is that obviously hypocritical, but then you go on to call Graffin and the rest of BR hypocritical because "they are guilty of the same things they accuse others of". Did you not think before you posted?
  • You should also learn more about capitalism. (And grammar.) All successful bands make money.. it's why they're able to be successful and continue to produce music that actually gets heard. Bad Religion are (not is) one of the most honest and intelligent bands to ever walk this planet.
  • I can't understand what the hell you're trying to say in that last sentence. "They use the down trodden as a tool and really care less about them."? So they use oppression as a tool to care less about hypocrites? I'm sure if I knew what you meant I could give you another example of your naivety but unfortunately it was worded too poorly. Oh, and you "dipise" the band. Great. Moron.
