To the conservative Christians hanging around here, just ignore this thread. Don't both posting "I don't think Spears is Biblical", because we all know she isn't, and AIOP just wants to have fun mocking you. It's called trolling.

Now now, is that any way for a member of the mod team to talk about a member?

See, AE gets the point of this thread. Except for one small fact. I don't have to make fun of anyone, nor do I make fun of anyone. Reading peoples reactions is enough for me.

Besides, listening to Britney and other 'sinful' artists is just as bad as lying or cheating or any other sin in God's eyes. So, in a sense, you are a hypocrite. Isn't religion fun?

Btw, got 'Hold It Against Me' bumping in the background. I'm so bad.

I have one thing to say.




that is all.


Slice me and dice me all you want.

Trolling can't be taken lightly.

True. However, no one creates threads like, "I LOVE LYING AND CHEATING! YOU ALL SHOULD TRY IT!" And basically, you just admitted listening to Spears is sinful. >_>

THIS.

I LOLed when I saw the title of this thread, because I instantly knew who had posted it and what the replies would be. It's actually too bad that we can't have a decent discussion about pop culture figures like Lady Gaga or Brittney Spears. Most of the 'conservative Christians' on this board somehow seem to enjoy displaying their ignorance without being able to offer any legit arguments, and only focusing on the negative side of everything. And on the other side, we have AIOP, who is thriving off their ignorance and earning 'LULZ' from watching you all rant. Definition = troll.

So ya, this thread should have just been locked after ric's post.

That post summed up the whole thread.

My dear, dear AE, did you fail to see the quotes around the word 'sinful'? See that? I just did it again. It's sarcasm. Personally, I do not feel the same way so e of the members here do. Does that make either opinion invalid? Not at all. Again, people who CHOOSE to put themselves into this thread and then get themselves all tied up in knots is amusing to me. I posted this thread cause I genuinely like Britney's new album. Some people don't agree with her and her 'sinful messages' (notice the quotes again? Ok, just making sure......), and that's ok. But when that person CHOOSES to post here and get themselves in a tizzy, well, I can't help that. I can, however, find amusement in it. I have not made fun of or ridiculed anyone. I am arguing my side of the debate, but that it is. So, if you take that as 'trolling', then maybe you should reevaluate your understanding of message board mechanics.

Bottom line, I do enjoy Britney, and genuinely wondered if anyone else has heard or likes her new album. Everyone posts threads about movies and music they like, why can't I? I am legitimately carrying on a conversation about the artist and the music. So what if I can get a laugh or two from reading things that other people post at the same time? I fail t see how I'm a troll. I post in other topics, and contribute legitimate posts to this site, like everyone else. It seems to me that people don't like the fact that I am open about my love of some secular artists, and that means that I'm trolling. Doesnt make sense to me.

Anyways, back on topic, I do feel like Britney released this album to combat Gaga. So yes, maybe she sold herself out to the latest craze, but boy, what a fun, addictive way to sell yourself out!

Are you a Christian AIOP? ( just wondering )

I happen to know that posting here is dangerous, but I have to say this.

AIOP, why is ignorance bad? I don't need to study Spears to know she's a woman who has no Christian morals. I'd definitely find out a lot of stuff that wouldn't be helpful to me if I researched her. I really am politely asking you to have a mod delete or lock this topic, because we have 7-10 year olds on here. We shouldn't be telling them how "great" Spears music is. There are so many wicked things in it that kids shouldn't be hearing.

There are threads about Twilight and Harry Potter here; should we delete those as well? Some might argue that those aren't suitable for young kids. Where do you draw the line?

And where exactly did I mention anything about ignorance? That was the user Jelly that mentioned 'ignorance'.

And to answer the other question, I absolutely believe in God. Have been saved since I was very young. I just have a slightly different outlook on the world than some.

Ignorance isn't 'bad', but passionately stating an uneducated opinion is less then smart. You may have your morales figured out, but you need to stop assuming that most other people agree with you and attempting to tell everyone what's right for them. I'm politely asking YOU to ignore threads like this if you can't offer anything more then opinionated hate. Everyone knows your stance on these things already, so it shouldn't be too hard to simply not post in these topics, eh?

Also... what are 7-10 year old kids doing on the internet?

Ever heard the episode of AIO about Rodney putting out all that accordion music? You shouldn't judge things until you've experienced them. Even with Britney Spear's past record.

Thread win!

American Eagle said it best. If you don't like/agree with this artist, then stay out of the thread. He made a very valid point.

If I read a thread title for the tv show 'Criminal Minds' (I don't enjoy the show personally), I'm not gonna take time out of my day to go int the thread and engage in a debate wh YOU shouldn't like the show. Forget the fact that how I feel about the show has NOTHING to do with you. I don't like the show for whatever reason, so its my personal responsibility to show you the light?? I'm sorry, not only is that incredibly presumptuous, but its flat out rude. I would NEVER have the nerve to tell someone that they are wrong or silly for liking a tv show or music artist.

Do you guys now understand why I find so much amusement from this??

Again, BACK ON TOPIC, I actually didn't care for the video for 'Hold It Against Me'. Again, it just seemed like Brit was trying to capitalize on Gaga's success. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't seem like a huge creative leap for her. Then again, Britney has always relied on her producers to save her. Brit doesn't exactly have the strongest voice in the world, but where this album succeeds is having FUN. It's fun, insanely catchy pop music. Isn't that what the point of pop music is?

All in all, I really feel like the album is fun, addictive, and VERY danceable. Which is what I like in pop music.

As of late, I've developed a tendency to avoid mainstream pop music. With the exception of 'Friday' by Rebecca Black.

I've heard 'Femme Fatale' but I don't really care for it. My taste in music is rather...unconventional. I'd rather have me some Les Miserables or listen to Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack.

I actually listen to soundtracks too. An epic soundtrack beats pop music for me any day.

Jelly wrote:I actually listen to soundtracks too. An epic soundtrack beats pop music for me any day.

Agreed. I'd rather listen to The Lord of the Rings soundtrack anyday over whatever pop is being played on the radio.

QFT. Soundtracks are awesome.

1. Being a Cast Member at Walt Disney World, I LOVE a good Disney soundtrack. 'God Help The Outcast' is an AMAZING song.

Personally, I prefer the soundtracks to 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Little Mermaid' over 'Hunchback', but as I said, 'God Help The Outcast' is an epic song.

2. You.........like......Rebecca Black?

Personally, I prefer Justin Bieber over her. And that's saying a lot, cause I don't particularly care for Bieber. 0_o

1. B&B is probably my favorite Disney soundtrack. I was in the show and we performed it over a dozen times, but I'll never tire of hearing the Prologue music. Currently, I'm going through an obsession with all things pertaining to Victor Hugo, hence, my 'Hunchback' craze.

And that's marvelous that you're a Disney Cast member! I've always wanted to be a Disney princess myself.

2. I don't mind the girl herself, but I despise her song. It's so annoyingly catchy, though. I find so much pleasure in dancing around the house yelling "Fried eggs! Fried eggs!" obnoxiously.

Woah there guys!

Might I remind you all of something before you continue on?
