I've gotten insulted by a number of people for the past few days because I told someone I buy all my music...does that make any sense at all? Sorry that I support those that work their asses of to make it so you have the music you like to listen to.

For discussion value, have you ever been insulted for something utterly retarded?
Rofl i just made a thread about this the other day. The whole idea is that it is very common to download pirated music, and that paying for it is only for when you support the artist. Personally i think its stupid, and aside from that i would rather not break the law like that, I like having the actual CD. It looks nice on my shelf =D.

I get insulted for being Canadian quite a bit. So I'm in a game of BC2 and everyone's getting along, then a guy asks me "So where you from?" I reply "Oh I'm from Canada man", the he responds with: "Wow your a fucking fagot Monday"... I'm more or less like "Monday? What? WAT?"

Can somebody explain to me why a lot of Americans hate Canadians? Does everybody over there have nationalism coming out of their ass? Also what's with calling Canadian "Mondays"? So far that's the strangest insult I've ever heard.
I lold hard at your post. Mostly the Monday part.

And for my inconsiderateness I'll answer your America questions.

As far as I know most of don't hate canadians but we don't respect them. Reasons that I've heard in my life are:
Mounties
Funny Accent
Not loving war as much as we do
Universal health care which we believe is terrible
A lack of contributions that have helped us in any way.

I don't agree with any of that and would love to move to Canada. I think that the United States is a joke and I can't wait to move the hell out of here. But, like you said, most people here do have nationalism coming out of their ass, so I rarely voice my distaste for America.

Being a nerd is awesome, deon't let anyone convince you of the contrary ^^)
Still, it's kinda awkward trying to explain to your jock friend what Pokemon is.
It's probably safer not to explain him what it is :D
Too late for that XD
Damn, then you should invest in very good running shoes or an invisibility cape. Or a mighty shield of awesomeness, but these are expensive.

Alternatively if needed, let's get him acquainted with my fist, he likes to make friends. :)

They better never go to Germany then, these guys hardly ever speak a single word without 3 or 4 syllables, it's crazy.

Nobody has grounds to make fun of you for that. I don't buy ALL my music, but that which I deem worth buying, I splurge for the vinyl record(s). Yes, I have a turntable (USB ION for synchronization with my iPod), and yes, I do hear the difference. Not saying it's for everyone but if the tunes are good, I'll throw a twenty at the artist, for sure.

OT: I get hit for not using Google Chrome. I know people at Google. I don't want them knowing what I'm doing on the intertubes.

I got insulted for liking Pokemon...
I've never understood this. Pokemon is actually a good game with plenty of fun parts. This also seems to walk hand-in-hand with people insulting me for watching anime, reading manga, and listing to some j-pop/j-rock.

I just have never understood this.

OT: I still buy all my music as well and get funny looks for the cashier at Best Buy.

The great thing about classmates is that you get not to see them ever again after you're done with school (and it's awesome).

The worst thing about this topic (and all other topics that have come before it) is that you seem genuinely surprised to be insulted over something so inane. If this is the first time it's happened, be prepared for a huge shock later in life. I've been insulted for all manner of things, none of them even important enough to mention (for the sake of answering the topic: wearing glasses, wearing shades, having an afro, owning an Xbox, playing WoW, wearing a coat, being alive, etc.) So you buy music, eh? So what? It's no one's business to insult that...I buy music too, actually. I hear HMV sell Compact Discs with audio files burned onto them. The truth is, people like to insult people for doing things differently. We've all done it. We shouldn't, but we all have.

The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I have only one semester left before I graduate. It will be glorious!
Hell yeah, make a party once you graduate (and don't invite them) :)

I get called names because I listen to Leaves' Eyes... I'm sorry, but when the Zombie Apocalypse kicks off, I will be listening to that band as I blow holes through their zombiefied heads. >:D

i dont think its a bad thing...our generation (including myself) are a bunch of pirates but like you said, theres nothing wrong with supporting the things you like

Well, as I see it, if you download music illegaly that's stealing, which is wrong. Justifying the the artists don't get much money from the download doesn't make the fact that you are stealing any better.
