The Brit awards were complete shite. They seem to have stopped bearing any semblance of awarding quality music and just go for the most mindless shite out there. Maybe it's my memory but I swear that a few years ago the Brits was an entertaining show to watch. Now it's a bunch of sef congratulatory shit. It was practically pronographic the amount of wanking they showed. There was no-one performing or winning I would call original. They were all generic shite! BUT! I do take a stance with the "stars" who spoke out against the war. They were using their position on society to voice an opinion I'm sure many other people hold. Who cares what their music is like. The fact is they had the balls to stand up and say something about it. That actually made it an alright show. I for one do not want to die over Bush's greed for oil. Neither do I want my friend, who's in the army, to do for that either. Yes he joined the army of his own free will but NOT the American Army which is what we've become. It fucking stinks. It pisses me off that this country does whatever anyone says. WHY?
Anyone up for some parfait?

Let's just wait and see if Chris Martin and Ms. Dynashite come out with the same anti-war stance when the Grammy's happens. Let's see how strong their feelings are then. In a country where the majority of the people back military action in iraq. Let's see if they are willing to disenfranchise the majority of their buying public in america for the sake of their principals. I think you'll find Mr Martin and Ms. Dynahite will have forgotten all about the war when the Grammy's happens.

Contrary to what the media tell us, a large minority in America oppose the war.

A minority can be large in size, but large in size compared to what? The majority? Then that would make it small. It's somewhat of an oxymoron in my opinion.
There should be some sort of documentation that could tell us. A report or something.

well, if say you had a population of 300 million--40%, a minority, would be just under 150,000,000. I would call that a large amount of people. (BTW, don't go thinking I'm saying 40% of US citizens oppose the war, I'm just giving an example of how a minority can still be large.)

i just don't see how it can be called 'large minority'
yeah if its that many people then its a lot, but the reason its a minority is cuz its compared to the majority, which is larger. so its not exactly a lot compared to the majority so its not large. er sumthin...

notice the word "larger" is different from the word "large"
a pretty woman is still pretty even if there is another who is prettier. (a more subjective example I know)

A large minority is the same as saying a large midget. He might be large for a midget, but he's still a midget. End of debate.

large isn't qualified by a percentage, minority is. Large is qualified by the actual amount...therefore, the amount married to the percentage doesn't equal a contradiction or an oxymoron. It's as plain as that. If you wish to continue banging your head on the wall, take it up with an English teacher--because as it stands, it conforms to the rules of the English Language.

I agree with bills original post. I wanted to like Ms Dynamite when she came out but I just can't. Her music is crap, she can barely sing. It's lame. And Coldplay suck as well. I know hicks just posts negative shit about pop culture, which isn't hard to do... but I still agree on that one.
