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.



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!!!! mad



Hey everyone - I think collin88's been kicked off the site - can anyone confirm this??? you cant access his profile anymore...I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but he took it just one step too far... confused

Statement 2:
first of all i did answer econstpation's question...second...every foreigner in the world tryin to get to america...and americans are smart...hell we got bill gates and howard shultz


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.

what we are debating is that you said it was narrow minded to call anyone who is not an american a foreigner. and I quote
Complete ignorance. So, in the world, we have America, and then "foreigners"? That is a very narrow view of the world.

that isn't narrow, it is an accurate POV from an american who can only see the world as an american. as an american, anyone who is not is a foreigner. the same applies if you are Indian living in India and you say anyone who isn't Indian is a foerigner. it's true. there is nothing derogatory in the least about saying someone is a foreigner, it is simply a fact that shifts depending where you are from and where someone else is from.

you were so intent on disputing collin that you made a poor argument. it is okay. why you continue to defend it is beyond me, yet you are also changing the argument to do so, which only shows its weakness.

Again, you're not looking at the context in which the term was used in the post I responded to. I'm responding to

ccollin8:


every foreigner in the world tryin to get to america


Can you not see how this statement is narrow minded and completely ludicrous? In that context, "foreigner" is not a term of endearment, and it's not a matter-of-fact use of the term, either. I can't believe I'm restating this tripe to make my point again, which you are somehow reading as a change of an argument.

???

This guy starts a thread wondering why Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam aren't worshipped more than Prince, then in his own thread goes on to make an unfounded statement like

ccollin8:


every foreigner in the world tryin to get to america


and it's my argument that is weak?

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 know its good advice, but i'm really crap at arguments, but i still have opinions, he just really got to me so sorry for offending you !!!!

Well, maybe this thread is coming to a merciful end. Something's wacked with the "reply with quote" feature at times -- there are posts above that quote me when it's really Se7enkisses, and I've tried to "reply with quote" a few times and got posts quoted from a different location. Anyway...

It's according to what your personal definition of the word "great" is. Does your definition mean talentwise or does it mean the ability to get a hit. We all know it takes no talent to get a hit these days. Just look at all the no talent shit hop that has made it onto the charts these days by stealing the talented older artists' music and making it the background for their songs.

I define greatness as talent and Jam and Lewis have talent (too bad they don't use it any more) and they themselves have said that when they were taking lessons to learn to play different instruments, Prince could just pick the instrument up and play it with no lessons whatsoever.

bullshit....yALL KILL ME WITH THIS PRINCE PICKS UP AN INSTRUMENT AND PLAYS IT SHIT.....THE DUDE PRACTICED HIS ASS OFF AS A TEEN BECAUSE HE WAS 4"9' TALL AND HE COULDNT PLAY SPORTS....SO WHAT DO MOST DWEEBS WHO CANT PLAY SPORTS DO.....PLAY MUSIC!

He's a really good basketball player. I saw him on Dave Chapelle. biggrin

he's a universe unto himself. he's a heart that's true. Prince is the greatest because he's the sexiest music biz genius ever. prince has many facets of people, info, music, he's just been more involved than any other.. plus he's gorgeous! i could never get enough.. you jus wouldn't know that he's worked with more artists and made songs for them, he's done tours, gigs, t.v appearances, movies, he has music and vids that go back to the late 70's. And his music is a signature, you can listen to anyone if you've listened to prince.

it was either morris day or prince or someone from his camp who turned up right when p was gettin his ass thoroughly kicked real hard big time for shutting the club down without giving anyone any notice

they also turned up after p was called a tremendous cunt of a person by urs truly

they used to do this kinda shit all the time at the npgmc in the chatroom

someone ( most suspected p ) would come into chat and throw the most ludricrous statements out there just so people would say...

" prince ur gr8 ur so gr8 ur gr8 prince no really ur gr8 "

an oboist? lol please

anyway thats what i think, and if that aint true, then whoever it was must've been possessed by Prince's demented ego biggrin

they were good enough to make me write a song about it

so whoever u were well done.



the only reason Prince is the Greatest of All Time
is becuz his skinny little ass is Mine
in no other way at the moment except that certain people hold the fate of that man, at the tip of their very clever cyber fingers
eye


right about now someone needs to be lookin after Tamars career, and either confirming or denying rumours, if they have any sense biggrin

Prince darling, next time i tell you ur surrounded by parasites, please do listen up dear. All this mess is gettin to be a bit of a waste. of. my. time cool

Dont make me lose my patience son. x biggrin

Morris Day said it himself in his interview with Tavis Smily, "Prince is music".

Whoever wants to consider him the greatest, its all a matter of personal opinion. He is my greatest artist, doesn't have to be yours or anybody else's.

"Prince is music". Lets hope that he and the people around him push that thought right to the very front of their minds,

b4 they log onto a website to leech energy out of people, just to get a compliment. eye

cuz that aint music.
its just plain immature.

It's also very immature to continue to log on to a website or fansite of someone you seem to have a problem with, carrying this heavy chip on your shoulder, rather than spending your time elsewhere.

As far as Morris Day,he has known Prince since childhood. They've had their many ups and downs and they remain friends to this day. If he says Prince is music, then I'll respect that. He knows Prince better than you do.

Just because people consider him to be the greatest and you don't does not mean that it's wrong. People have a right to their opinion.

He'll be back under a new name. You'll recognize him by the caps and high energy level, the "I'm leavin" 6-7 times, the "so and so" is so much better as a musician....the skewed statistics. This is a temporary reprieve.
