ccollin88 said:

seriously now dude your starting to piss me off, your opinions your own, and vice versa, but if you really think america's the smartest country you are surely mistaken!!! your going well below the belt now!!!you've never been on the moon bitch!!!!!

ccollin88 said:

[/b] your really offending people now so get back to your topic or piss off, you trying to be a brain washing tit
[Edited 7/25/06 2:33am]

Ok this has gone too far.
U have contradicted urself in almost every post u made.

Japan is actually the smartest if I am not mistaken.
America would probably be in 4th or 5th place.

The only reason they come over here is too make more money. In japan u work and every body make the same amount of money no matter what jobs they have, this insures that noone claims they are better than anybody else.
Either that or they want freedom from Monacrhy, slavery, poverty, etc.

Peace

Complete ignorance. So, in the world, we have America, and then "foreigners"? That is a very narrow view of the world. I'm an American and your thoughts on this country's intelligence, views on the rest of the world, and "opinions" of music are all equally embarrassing.

This collin dude has got to be the biggest jerk on this site. Why are you guys wasting your time arguing with him? He obviously has something against Prince and at the same time obsessed with degrading him. Anyone who said Prince should thank Beyonce for her appearance with him on the grammys needs some serious therapy. She should be thanking Prince.

Collin, there's hope and therapy out there for you. This obsessive jealousy you have for Prince really needs to stop because it's showing real bad. I bet you're burning with envy. You spend so much of your time and energy talking crap about him yet you say you "love him?", It's obvious you're jealous. You want something he has so you come to this site and rant and rave about him. Maybe you can only wish you had the success that Prince has achieved. What's the matter, you weren't good enough to play in his band or something? Were you rejected when you auditioned for him? Was one of your friends fired by him?

Whatever it is, I'm sure he's laughing at you because you're going totally bananas over the fame he has achieved and you wish you had it. Get over it and move on for crying out loud.

These people who think that there is ANYONE else that is the best have NEVER seen "The Kid" live!!! Name me ONE Jimmy & Terry show that rocked. Then, and only then, can U have such an uninformed opinion. Go Back To School !!!

This thread is so funny! I keep picturing James Brown's mugshot doing the talking, which somehow makes sense.

unclenick1871 said:

Lust my humble opinion: Collin, you seem like a "hits" fan (and thats great) but fans who cant see past PR, Diamonds & pearls, 1999, ect... have not used his other work to see the progression of his career. Go to your independent record store and pick up some CD's you have never heard of. You will find that all the other people you are talking about have allways been behind the "Prince curve". Thanks for your thread but please come back when U have the knowlege to back up that opinion.

The time with jam & lewis rotinely killed prince when they toured together.....thats a known fact

mariesadour said:

Well said for post #3, having joined merely a few days ago. My guess is that mariesadour is ccollin88 with a second org account, especially judging by the other two posts you've made.

mariesadour said:

Indeed, that fact is right up there with "The Beatles Come to America," "Dylan Goes Electric," "Miles Goes Electric" in terms of common knowledge.

How the heck did such an obvious bait thread get so long?

But to answer the question, neither Prince nor J&L are "the Greatest".

Aerogram said:

ccollin88, U remind me so much of the guy that everybody thought was Rick James in disguise....He posted alot of badmouthing threads here in the summer of 2003. I think his username was "theprestigious" which had an avatar of Michael Jordan....PR1NCE is the VERY BEST EVER.END OF DISCUSSION!

Actually she did. Beyonce had a documentary on Bet and her attitude changed when they asked how did it feel to sing with Prince. She was like " I was star struck, U mean I relly get 2 play w/ prince?!"

collin88

AW did little Princey make u jealous?

u ain't funky at all u just a little ol' prude
just a little silly party poop.

Why diss anyone? If people think he the best of all time,... then maybe he is? It's very possible isn't it?

You might be comparing apples and oranges. Jam and Lewis are great without a doubt.

TheMatrix said:

If you've managed to get through the entire thread you would find it wasn't as much dissing someone because they don't think Prince is great, the person was dissing people for not thinking he wasn't the greatest. You would find we wrote several times that he had a write to his opinion.

The person's not active anyhow. No need to carry this on.

actually, yes. if you are an american, everyone who is not american is a foreigner. that isn't a derogatory connotation, simply a matter of fact if made from an American's perspective. you seem to be the ignorant one in this matter, and far too sensitive, thus unable to understand the position.

Se7enkisses said:

and you are too defensive about Prince to understand the dynamic that is being presented. it has nothing to do with whether Prince is a better musical act than Beyonce or if he has more talent, simply that her performing with him validated Prince to an audience ignorant of his abilities. your defense has nothing to do with the argument.

dumbass said:

I KNOW ITS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TREAD, BUT IF YOU HAVE READ ALL OF THIS THREAD, COLLIN88 IS DESCRIBING HIMSELF AS JESUS, ANYONE WHO ISN'T AMERICAN IS DUMB!! WHO THE HELL IS HE??? I THINK PRINCE IS THE GREATEST BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION, AND I RESPECT OTHERS WHO SAY HE ISN'T, THIS COLLIN88 IS JUST TRYING TO WIND PEOPLE UP, AND HE'S DOING A BRILLIANT JOB AT THAT!!!!
I'M NOT TAKING HIM ON ANYMORE!!!
AT LEAST I HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR OTHERS ON THIS SITE!!!!

dumbass said:

Actually, no. If I'm an American, then everyone who is not American is from another sovereign nation. "Foreigner" is derogatory and disrespectful in the context in which ccollin88 made his original statement. Scroll back through this ridiculous thread to find him say "every foreigner is trying to get into America." If you can't see that such a statement is not only ignorant but also completely untrue, then we aren't even living on the same planet.

So, now how do feel about telling me that "I'm unable to understand the position" of a statement like "every foreigner is trying to get into America?"

Doozer said:

no, foreigner is not derogatory in and of itself. that may be how you take it, and how YOU responded to it, but it is wrong. you made an incorrect blanket statement, that was what I was responding to, which had nothing to do with collins.

he may be an ass, but that does not excuse you from being wrong. your defense is merely semantical. foreigner is completely applicable as a description for someone from a seperate sovereign nation.

Se7enkisses said:

that is all fine and dandy, but his being an ass does not excuse you from making a poor argument.

in fact, when dealing with an ass, you should strive to make as sound an argument as possible so that as can't use it to detract from his behavior.

I could not care less for who they are, as I dont know who they are, JAM & LEWIS.
I prefer his music thats why I just joined this site. World Wide Prince is clearly better known than them, hes a better live performer to, hits dont mean an awful lot.

dumbass said:

Then you're not paying attention to this thread at all. My comment regarding the use of the term "foreigner" was specifically directed to the context in which ccollin88 used it. You're saying that your comment regarding the term "foreigner" had nothing to do with ccollin88's statement. So what are we arguing about? I don't know what "incorrect blanket statement" I made that you're referring to. But, so that we're clear, here's the "incorrect blanket statements" that ccollin88 made that I'm referring to:

Statement 1:


Statement 2:


What more of an incorrect blanket statement can you ask for than "As an American...we are the smartest country in the world"?

Probably "Every foreigner in the world tryin' to get to America" would qualify.

That's what I'm arguing about. These kinds of statements are so me-centric that it clearly demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of the world as a whole. I'd love to hear any other interpretations.
