Sure. I'm down with that.

I'm just saying why I don't like it, personally.

As for the "smut" country music that's being hinted at here......... there's nothing illegal or violent about a woman's behind (badonkadonk). There's nothing illegal or violent about "riding a cowboy".

Rape, shooting cops, gang violence, prostitution........ different story entirely.
"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" is legal and not violent?

No one is saying you should or shouldn't like a genre because of aesthetics, but to brand one as "vulgar" and ignore the vulgarity in another... that's really unfair and ignorant.
there are countless examples.. he's just not going to budge and admit he's wrong.

and you're right.. no one is saying you have to like something.. but just get your
facts right if you're going to argue silly points..

I'd prefer not to be labeled as "ignorant" just because my opinion is different. Let's keep this civil.

Johnny Cash wasn't glorifying violence, though. Rap artists do.

I've already admitted that I'm pretty uninformed. I've told you why I personally don't like it or respect it. Why should you care? Your opinion is entirely different. Implying that I "should" appreciate it doesn't really seem fair.

Saying that country artists cross the same lines as rap artists is being pretty naive, in my opinion

Dude you're wrong. You just are. It is indeed possible for you to admit you misspoke and made a sweeping statement about something you know very little about. No one would hold it against you.

Look at the rest of the lyrics. He's in prison, and he explains WHY he's in prison. He admits that he made mistakes and DESERVES to be in prison. He regrets it. How is that glorifying violence?

I guess I am ignorant too, because too much of it seems violent and glorifies the wrong things, and I really don't have the time to wade through stuff I don't care for just to find something that is not glorifying drugs, violence, treating women likeke objects, being a pimp, and other such negative ideals. I also don't like a lot of other music because it is portraying the wrong things also. I am sorry if I don't want my daughter to hear this crap when we are out for a walk and some dude goes by with his music so loud I feel like my teath are going to shatter, but on the other hand if it is the type of music you like, listen too it. It is not up to me to decide what you should listen too.

I wasn't taking exception to that. I took exception to "Rap artists do."

No they don't. Some do, most don't. For someone to admit they are almost completely ignorant on a subject and to continue to argue about it is ridiculous.

It would be akin to me arguing with a woman over which hurts more, getting kicked in the nuts or giving birth.

mod edit - quoting a song with curse words is just as against the rules as cursing.

Suffice it to say, socnorb made his point by posting vulgar lyrics from rap songs.

There's nothing in country music that's remotely as disgusting as this stuff.

I've never once said that they all do it.

I'm not arguing about anything. I'm telling you why I personally steer clear.......
