[QUOTE=10571z;13421511]I was listening to Stay Together For The kids the other day and i was just thinking is really the right message. If a house is full of fighting and hate, its usually the better choice to seperate and not stay together. My parents are together personnaly but kids ino said there glad there parents dont live together cause it was hell.[/QUOTE]

Well, in the video it starts out with, "50% of families split apart", and then at the end, "50% stay together". So, I think it's more of a song about when your parents do fight that it doesn't always mean the end of the family, but giving hope that they would survive. My take, maybe not everyone elses though.

i think completely differently about stay together's message. to me, its a shout against domestic arguments alltogether. listen to the second verse. its blatant that they're calling for unity in the family.

i think this song, while probably viewed as a child's view, is actually a very mature, although utiopiam, view of marital interaction. "rather than fix their problems, they never solve them. it makes no sense at all. i see them everyday. we get along, so why cant they?" its obviously an innocent soul. but from the mouth of babes will come the truth (sorry to allude to the Bible on a punk forum). i think the narrator knows how jacked up everything is and is speaking out against it.

what the f[B]u[/B]ck?, " from the mouth of babies will come the truth". Do yourself a favour and stop reading the Bible.

omg the bible lets shoot things

Erm, he's entitled to an opinion... right?

And nothing is wrong with the bible, as long as you don't take it too seriously and impose your views on others. At least that's what I think.

And you can read the bible without being religious...

[QUOTE]what the ****?, " from the mouth of babies will come the truth". Do yourself a favour and stop reading the Bible.[/QUOTE]

i dont mean to make a religious debate about this, but think about it logically. young people are devoid of heavy influence from propoganda and their own faulty logic. older people cannot feel natural things such as the Lord as well, because their senses are numbed by their own minds and overthinking things.

but if you dont understand things, dont criticise them. if you study theology and you delve deeply into the Bible, then you can come to the conclusion that its a foolish verse and THEN you can ridicule me.

but back on the subject of the song, i think its a prime example of what the Bible meant, even though if i remember correctly, the Bible was talking about prophecy. dont remember... anyways, the child who's speaking in the song is obviously morally right, and the parents are only following their own selfish desires. so then, who is carrying truth? the parents or the child (aka babe).

i dont read the Bible without being religious. im pretty religious. i wanna be a minister. just thoght i'd say, since it was brought up.

I'm not going to waste my time reading a book that was written 2000 years ago, written by someone who was probably on an acid trip, but whatever. Your theory on the Blink song sounds pretty logical.

Religion isn't a choice you make. Your parents make it for you into it most of the time...

Well good luck with that. I was never personally convinced by religion, but good for you finding something you want to do with yourself.

Anyway, blink182, AvA, Boxcar, +44. W/e, I always end up saying this to get back on topic.

How about we discuss mark's hair again? That went down well last time.

actually, most of the Bible was written long before the time of Christ. but thanks. i thought it sounded logical too.

[QUOTE]Religion isn't a choice you make. Your parents make it for you into it most of the time...[/QUOTE]

well itd my choice. yes, my parents are christians, but ive searched for myself and found my religion. ive experimented reading the quran, ive tried atheism, and many more. and i came up always feeling the Lord along side me, waiting for me to return to Him.


so how about marks hair.

[QUOTE=10571z;13443448]Religion isn't a choice you make. Your parents make it for you into it most of the time...[/QUOTE]

Lol.

I have been braught up cristian, went ot a catholic primary school, secondary, and even college.

Yet, i dont beleave and think all religion s bollocks.

Your theory fayles.

Who cares about religion, this is the Blink/AVA/Plus 44 thread.

Marks hair is pretty awesome, and original. Travis' hair is always awesome. Toms, well, hmmm he looks like a douchebag. Maybe if he didn't make it so straight, and Jackie O like, it would look alright.

So any word on Tom's 8 and a half minute song?

No.

Mark's *cough* hair *cough cough*

I wonder if he shaves his armpits...

/new low of the blink thread

Anyway. Anyone notice Mark is quite a hunk lately?. Funny how the nerds in Highschool, grow up to be rich, famous and good looking.

lol true

[QUOTE=yourstruly;13450351]Anyway. Anyone notice Mark is quite a hunk lately?. Funny how the nerds in Highschool, grow up to be rich, famous and good looking.[/QUOTE]

I thought only Tom was a nerd in Highschool. Cause didn't Tom get into punk when he met Mark, then started the band?

No, they were both into punk before they met. They're weren't really nerds, but I doubt they were popular. Actually Tom kinda was, since he was homecoming king or something like that.

Tom, homecoming king? With the short blonde hair and pimples?

With the mediumish brown hair and pretty decent skin. He was voted to be homecoming/prom king after he went back to school after being expelled. Just to piss of the admins.

"When he returned to Poway High School during his senior year, the students voted him Prom King at his senior prom."

- oh sry, i meant: yes, i agree. Dude Ranch is an awesome album. That and the s/t album are probably my favorites

I do aplogize for my grammatical mistakes, good sir. I had a momentary attack of some mental redardation. Care for a cup of tea and some biscuts?

lol, no dude - i was just saying that cause everyone else was. I wasn't trying to insult u man, sry. U had a good point tho - Dude Ranch is an awesome album

it just has this feel of a band finding it's niche

ya, the album has such a great feel to it. I think it kind of has a unique sound - kind of grungy yuno? I always love listening to it.

[QUOTE=Bad Blood;13451202]are you a retard[/QUOTE]

To be fair, I haven't got a clue what homecoming is either.

It's basically some random date assigned on a home football game. A big ceremony is held for a "homecoming queen" and a dance is usually held and stuff like that.
[QUOTE]
Homecoming is an annual tradition of the United States of America. Peoples, towns, high schools and colleges come together, usually in late September or October, to welcome back former residents and alumni. It is built around a central event, such as a banquet, football game, basketball game, or an ice hockey game.

When celebrated by schools, the activities vary widely. However, they usually consist of a football game played on the school's home football field, activities for students and alumni, a parade featuring the school's marching band, and the coronation of a Homecoming Queen (and at many schools, a Homecoming King).[/QUOTE]

Blink are probably the only band I listen to, that didn't fail when they tried to go in a different direction. I love S/T so much, it's just a really great album. It sold alot of copies too.

I like untitled, but only in certain moods. I'm usually feeling too awesome to listen to it, and find it frankly depressing. Great CD though.

Enough arguing already. Blink/boxcar/AvA/+44. And of course, Mark's hair.
