I have yet to see an intelligent comment.
Years ago, people would actually PROTEST.
Today, the spineless sit back and wait for some halfassed band write a song for them. How ambitious.

i agree- animals weren't put here for us to eat.
but hypothetically, even if they were, that doesn't make it any less of a good protest song.
just because what you are protesting against isn't wrong does not change the effect of your protest- what matters is that you protest for what you think is right.

You Green Day haters are probably Bush lovers and a member of that exact moral majority they speak of.
I feel sorry for you right-wingers that enjoy rock music. What do you guys have Ted Nugent and Toby Keith? LOL no wonder your all mad. Go ahead and boycott Green Day I am sure they don't want narrow minded right wingers listening to them anyway for they haven't sold out!
Rock on Green Day!!!!!

Green Day is a front for George Soros. If you want to help those in trouble due to Hurricane Katrina, then you need to write a protest songs regarding Louisiana and New Orleans corruption that has been there for 200 years. Any of us who know the area know that the corruption was probably responsible for 90% of the problem. So what does the government do? They give them billions and billions more to rip off. Greenday, start singing about things you know. Oh yeah, you would never sing again. You are another group I would like to punch.

Kent, I can't think of another reason that you would post this other then to piss people off, so, PLEASE keep it to yourself, you don't have to announce that your not going to quite eating meat, ok?
