I disagree. Stalin’s, Hitler’s, Pol Pot’s, and Mao’s lives were worth less than the life of the average wino. If I had the ability to save Beethoven or Jeffrey Dahmer, the choice would be easy. The members of a band called “Death Metal” or “Metal of Death” or whatever the hell it was were undoubtedly promoting nihilism and cultural degradation. It doesn’t deserve death, but any rational, decent person, given the choice, would prefer that some of the ordinary mothers and fathers had made it out instead.
Of course, I would have preferred that all the Muslim terrorists would have been killed and no one else. But that reflects my view that NOT all lives matter, and some lives don’t matter very much.
From what I've read, this band is an offshoot of the band Queens of the Stone Age and their band name is a tongue in cheek name.
It’s a tongue in cheek band name. Educate yourself before you go off spouting nonsense.
The. Name. Is. A. Joke. The Eagles of Death Metal...as in, “You guys are about as Death Metal as the 1970s band The Eagles of ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Tequila Sunrise’ fame.” You know, there is a lot to be upset about here, but their name isn’t the thing.
Not even close to what you were expecting or claiming, is it?
The head of the band clerked for Sonny Bono and was high up in the NRA somewhere.
