I didn't see a thread like this in this section, and I think the Green Day section is appropriate.
When Green Day released American Idiot, many people thought they hated Bush.
Then, it seemed out of nowhere, Bush had some new people who hated him.
Just after American Idiot was released.
It came to me: "Do some people hate Bush just because a favorite band does too?"
For me, I don't hate Bush because Green Day did, but rather because they opened my eyes to find out the stupid things he's done.
For instance, he declared that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction. We've been searching for over 3 years, and we've found nothing.
He put America in billions of dollars of debt.
My question is do you think people say they hate Bush or hate something because a band or person they like hates that person/thing?
Are people and kids REALLY that influenced by the media?

Those were some of the vaguest political statements i've ever heard. You need to touch up on your politics.
We're not there to find WMD's they already admitted that it was faulty intelligence. And Bush has us trillions of dollars in debt (quite different for billions, mind you)

Green Day influenced obnoxious assholes to pretend to know something about politics by saying "OMG BUSH SUXORS MAJOR" they didn't inspire informed politics because they don't know it themselves.

I really don't care about Bush. I'm indifferent to his existence and to everything he does.
Though, I am positive that there are people that have started hating him just because of Green Day or media influence.

I used to like the fact that
he was our president because
I couldn't care less for Kerry.
But now that I'm older and more mature,
I realize that he is a stupid dumbass...
That doesn't mean that I absolutely
hate him, because I don't. I just
don't agree with the man.

and hating a political leader because of a band's unknowingly dissing him is stupid. they couldn't even really get into issues of why he's a bad president, and they don't even know what they're talking about Rolling Eyes

Exactly. They're hardly political and when they are they're like "Bush is stupid! We should move to Canada!"

They're 13.
I mean, people who listen to Green Day now, are mostly 13.
Whether they agree or not with Bush, whether they understand Politics or not, whether they're mature or not: they're just 13. And you can't expect a 13 years old kid to have real and solid opinions about that..

If they don't have solid opinions they shouldn't be saying "OMG BUSH SUX"
You can't talk about "politics" if you aren't able to have a standpoint.

It's idiotic if someone hates bush because of Green Day. They're not political. Anyone can say, "War is bad. Bush is bad. Fuck America."
Their political message [if you can even call it one] isn't telling a lot, or saying why they're hating them. So, we've now got 9 year olds hating bush, because Green Day does. They have no idea what he's done, and what he hasn't done.
The reason I hate Bush [I am aware I am not American, but I still hate the man] is because I have learned about him on my own. I've watched CNN and seen the things he's done. Also, Anti-Flag infulenced me a lot, and taught me a lot of horrible things he's done to the world, and the U.S. -cough-One Trillion dollars spent on weapons, instead of schooling, hospitals etc-cough-

They shouldn't be trying to act like adults is what i'm saying.
If you don't know anything about politics don't bring it up, don't talk about something you know NOTHING about. That's common sense, and that's why they're stupid.

That's common sense, but that's an adult behavior.

I think if they decide they're gonna hate someone, they should at least do some research. I feel very strongly against the war in Iraq and the stupid reasons backing it *cough* OIL! *cough*, so I have a reason to hate Bush. I don't make political decisions on what's trendy though.

And what makes you think you understand 13 year olds better than i do. I'M FOURTEEN.
13 year olds aren't babies, they know what common sense is, and if they don't have it by then they are just DUMB.
