  • Political views such as: “murdering Palestinian journalists to cover up war crimes is itself a war crime and wrong” should have no place in the apolitical atmosphere of music. These comments, in fact, have “caused offence and distress” to me and my entire family, and, though we held a ceremony to burn the tickets we purchased in a gas fire, it was not until the concert was cancelled and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra “offer[ed] a sincere apology” that we were fully able to mentally recover (though, of course, the wound still lingers). My wife nearly died (due to the distress, of course) when she heard the news, so I do hope MSO will be paying for her cosmetic surgery.

    All in all, it seems common sense that background checks are necessary to make sure the music played by this orchestra is either meaningless drivel or based upon apolitical themes such as flowers or Star Wars, so that we all may enjoy the tunes without divisions being sown between us, pro and anti murder alike!

    You’re taking a very undialectical approach to the issue, where the problems within Iran (age of marriage here), stemming in large part from economic problems brought on by Western and particularly US imperialism, are proof of the “moral” quality of Iran as compared to the US, and, so too, Iran’s underdevelopment brought upon by these factors in main being its “moral” pride compared to the US as it cannot oppress other nations to nearly the same degree and often must act against national oppression.

    The very idea of the comparison of the “morality” of nations like Iran and the US is beyond nonsense.

    Democrats love Trump. Hillary Clinton and the DNC wanted him in power so they could have (what they thought was) an easier time winning, and instead of realizing this wasn’t a good plan after it didn’t work, Democrats have continued to fund Trump-supporters in elections.

    The state is forcing someone to pick the regular boot or else they’ll get the poison-tipped spiked boot, one on each foot, while making the person think it’s their own idea to pick the normal one (so pragmatic!).
