Today I’d like to remind the sadder and more annoying members of the general public that Propagandhi is a band. We are not accountable to you for our opinions. We are not politicians trying to get elected. We will comment on the things that move us, interest us or inspire us and refrain from commenting on things we don’t know much about, don’t care about, or simply don’t want to comment on. We are under no obligation to have a public opinion on something just because you think we should. We do not have to talk to you or care that you exist.
We are happy to engage in any critical thought and we are genuinely interested in a lot of the ideas and information people send us. If you act like an ass then we stop wasting our valuable typing to you. We are very busy people. Fair enough?
Feel free to contact members your local government representatives, or City Councellors with your concerns. That way all society can help pay for your insights through collective taxes and we four individuals in Propagandhi do not have to carry the burden alone.
If you need some help just ask. I would be very happy to refer you to a clinic.
Propagandhi = Justin Bieber – To be honest i'm not even sure i know who Justin Bieber is, but as you can see in this interview with Junior Battles, we have been mentioned in the same sentence. This pisses me right off. I think. I assume. (09/09/10 by Jesus H. Chris #)

Oh No! Not Another Post About Animal-Rights! – How much more can the poor, persecuted supporters of the animal-exploitation industry take?!?

Won't somebody save the defenseless meat-eaters from these heinous studs advocating a plant-based diet?!? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! (08/27/10 by Jesus H. Chris #)

Edumaction – I never got past high-school, but maybe if there were more educators like this guy, i would've been more interested in learning instead of cutting class to watch a shitty beta copy of Kreator's "Toxic Trace" video for the 100 zillionth time. (07/27/10 by Jesus H. Chris #)
