SaskMan Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware I'm not sure I even understand your last paragraph wtnhunt. If it happened I think I wouldn't give a hoot, much I like I don't give a hoot about any probs with what the chicks said. My point is.....who cares. We all can run our mouth...why can't they...who cares..that is my point. unioncountyslayer, you've chosen to ignore me like the chicks so you'll likely not even read this and you could care less what I have to say. You take a shot at Canadians you'll get one back. No thanks for coming there, I'll take my life here where health care is paid for, hunting and fishing are cheap hobbies are world class in their own and we to this day don't have wackos running around hiding behind a white cloak hating everyone that isn't redneck white. I never once stated your soldiers weren't making sacrifices or stated I agree with the Dixie chicks. Everyone is supposed to be able to have an opinion yet they can't. I'll bet some soldier's families agree with them but that is another ball of wax. Take a stab at us and me...get one back bud. And good job finally allowing blacks into the same resteraunts as you........take a poke at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Yeah, saw they won also. I listen more to Christian stuff but geesh, I didn't think the Dixie Chicks, when they had them playing, were THAT good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Think my words were pretty simple to understand. [ QUOTE ] My point is.....who cares. We all can run our mouth...why can't they...who cares..that is my point. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, we all can run our mouths and express freedom of speech, but when a person uses their popularity and speaks out against their country and leadership with an effort to attempt to influence others opinions to further dislike that country and its leadership, there is good reason for people who are from that country to have a dislike for those who are making those comments. Guess if I were a canadian I might share the same view. Basically in my opinion the chicks have used their popularity to influence others who already might not like the people of this country to like us even less. Easy to see why someone from Canada might not understand this being that it does not in any way effect you or how you are viewed by others. I am sure our troops and those families of those who have died fighting for securing their right to freedom of speech do not appreciate them speaking out against our country on a world wide stage either.

SaskMan Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware I guess it says alot about society if everyone is a little sheep and has to use someone famous to make their minds up for them.....sad...............Canadian or not, that is sad.

TexasDeerHunter Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Here is my two cents.............The chicks have every right to state their opinion no matter what their occupation or popularity status may be. My problem with them is they go overseas and bad mouth our president ,IMO to win over the crowd there and boost their popularity. They did not do it here for some reason? Now they expect that the Americans who were buying their albums will continue doing so when the majority disagree with them. They are against Bush and the war and what he stands for even though several of the things he supports have allowed them the freedom to do as they wish, even to bad mouth him as they have chosen. I stand corrected, as Natalie has chosen because I never heard the other two say anything. We are all on this forum because of our RIGHT and passion to pursue our outdoor heritage, why are we wasting time making this a battle between ourselves and between America and Canada? If Unioncounty slayer offened Sask then I am sorry that happened, but the retaliation remarks from Sask are no better. I am a Texan, Southerner, American, Redneck.....whatever you choose to call me, but don't come in bashing my heritage and stereotyping us as hood wearing idiots. Me nor any family member I know has participated in any klan activity.I think that it is fair to say we all have a difference of opinion and we are so entitled to that. I am proud of where I am and came from, I am certain that most of you are as well and see no need to offend each other by making this a battle between countries or states.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd call you a Texan, and I never came in here bashing you at all. If you want to stick up for Unioncountyslayer that is fine but nowhere in my post did I say anyone on here participates in clan activity, especially you TexasDH. I stated the clan exists, in NC a place UCS lives and obviously loves. If he wants to drag me and or my country into some name calling, put downing debate, I'll oblige him, though childish it is, it was started not by me. I guess the difference is that I am standing up for my country as it was put down by someone on this site, not some singer that shouldn't matter squat. Remember Texasdh, I never said anything about your or Texas or your Heritage or anything. IF UCS is your buddy and you want to defent him then fine but don't read between the lines. Say what you want about me b/c I'm Canadian, call me a liberal or whatever. I'm sure you'd be surprised to know I support capital punishment and alot of other things you do, but b/c I'm "Canadian" I must be a left wing liberal.......eh?

elkoholic Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware It is hard to believe that this post has become a jousting match between the Canadian and United States members. The fact that the Dixie Chicks won a handful of Grammys is evidence of the liberal left wing stance of many /most of the Grammy voters. The CD did sell very well, but not as a country CD. Yes, it made to the top of country charts, but not because country fans were buying it. Die hard fans would buy their music even if it was reported they killed their own mothers. It was a joke that they won anything in a country category. They are a joke for living in a country where they feel there is no need for patriotism, nor a need to stand up for peoples rights, but they certainly enjoy the rights that many have died for. To top it all off, their music is not all that good in my opinion. As for their opinion on President Bush and patriotism, who cares, "just shut-up and sing". Remember, opinions are just that and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
total disaster Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware all I can say is how can anyone judge anyone if they not know them and just go by what they"think" now I have a g/f in WV (alisha here on the fourms) and we both agree that there are jerks everywhere so how is one place better then the other if your hapy where you live great but just cause i don't live there it makes me a bad guy ? I don't agree with bashing one another ...I take offence to some replys in this thread and I thought this place was much better then that!!

Rhino Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware All I have to say is (in a kind manner) there's a tinkling match going on in here between a few members and the rest of us are getting wet.

unioncountyslayer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Funny how when someone says something negative about the President of the United States of America, it's no big deal, but when you make a simple sarcastic comment made in jest about where someone is from it's a HUGE deal to them. Kind of a double standard in my book. Ponder on that one people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Geesh..I've been ignoring this thread since it started, because the Dixie Chicks aren't worth talking about as far as I'm concerned. Then I come in here today and find out you guys are fighting over them...LOL. Looks like it's time (past time) to lock this thread, before someone pokes someone elses eye out..
