Blogcritics Comments of the Week 5 - Page 3

I'm telling you, I'm sevenTEEN years old. And just because I have that "teen" on the end of my age doesn't mean I'm illiterate. Obviously the teens who read your article arent illiterate either if they were able to read your messages and thoughts. Do you feel that I'm "street slanging" you to death? I dont think so. And is that a racist statement? That all these Black teens are just going to "street slang" you until you die? Hmmm... I wonder...

Anyway, I'm glad that you felt (I dont want to say brave, but i will) brave enough to put something like this on the internet and then face the replies people sent you because youre right, it is only so much "illiterate teenagers" can do. We cant do anything to you that will hurt you. All we can do is write to you. I just think that you should've handled the way you worded how you felt differently.

Another thing, I do have to disagree with what you said about good music being for everybody because different music attracts different people. For instance, I like r and b, hip hop, alternative, and country music. I can pretty much listen to anything except for heavy metal. My father, on the other hand (who is like 50 something) HATES almost EVERYTHING I listen to. What I listen to may not be considered good music to him. He likes jazz and oldies. Jazz and oldies may not be "for me". Jazz and oldies may be considered "good music" to my father, but I dont like it all that much. R and b, hip hop, alternative and the other types of music I choose to listen to is considered "good music" to me, but not for my father, you see what I mean?

I understand what you said when you said that you love music and thats why you're saying that you have a dim view of Pretty Ricky because they're a crappy excuse for music. But essentially, is that really your decision to make? They're out now. They're performing songs at concerts and making money. What can you do? AND how can you even say that theyre a crappy excuse for music when you even admitted yourself that you didnt even know what makes a good boy band!?

A lot of the things you said on this blog is really offensive. You may not care, but, I'm still putting my feelings out there because I can. When I read your article I thought you were smarter than some of the replies that you wrote to other peoples comments. I was really suprised. Obviously, I was wrong about my preconcieved thoughts of you. I honestly don't know you and I shouldnt have thought a certain way about you just because of how you wrote the article. I was wrong there. But coming from a writer, next time I think you should think before replying to what people write to you. And really, you shouldnt categorize a certain group of people based on age. *(and i learned that i shouldnt categorize a person based on how well they write or argue a point)* ; )
