Concerts you're working at wouldn't be fun.

Concerts you've chosen to go to of a band or dj that you i love can change your life. I feel sorry for those who don't get it, but not everyone loves music.

So much this, although you're a bit ahead of me since I have a few years left to pay on my house and I'm already 52. We do own all 4 cars though.

I don't think life is too short, I think it's that most waste so much of it. I feel the same way about money.

Along the same lines...

Dems and Reps can't have a conversation, disagree on things in a civil manner, come to a middle ground by listening to each others points, then go grab a beer and be friends.

Climate change is based on data manipulation and fake "science" to guilt the public into giving up their freedoms for more government control.

Actually the "work" part was the most enjoyable. I was into photography and "filmmaking" back in those days and it was the only part of my job where I got to mess around with that. I just didn't like the concert environment.

I guess I just like music, I don't love it enough to pay a ton of money to go stand in a crowd of people to listen to it. Or maybe I just hate people more than I love music.

The Matrix isn't clever nor mind blowing. It's just a bad-bad movie. Gymkata was a better movie.

Forgiving others is about you not them.

Dads should kiss and hug their sons, tell them they love them and pray with them before bed.

Others don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

You can learn something from everyone you interact with that can change the way you see things.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

When you help anyone anywhere, you help everyone everywhere.

Know who you are before you get married.

Marry the right person and stay together for the rest of your lives.

To be right with yourself is to be right with God and to be right with God is to be right with yourself. To be right with God you must hear from God. To hear from God you have to read God's word (the bible).

A church family and community who you can trust will change your life.

Whitney Houston > Beyonce
To be clear I am fond of the unpopular opinion. A girl with a big ass and touching thighs is hotter than the typical CrossFit girl many post. I'm even accept the FUPA. 5'6 230 (I'm 5'9 185) is as big a girl I've been with and it was the best sex and the most attraction I ever had to a woman. Most of the ones I'd dated prior were 5'0-5'4 and 105-125 lbs and were objectively "hotter" but not in my opinion. I miss that big girl, keep trying to find more like her. She still curved in the sides, so hourglass not ball shaped.

Conflicting senses. The communal part is a big part of the thrill. That's why vip sections also suck. I've been to many. Concerts I believe really elevate any musicians music. But it's an unpopular opinion thread - so well done sir

"Change your lilfe"

For sure. $7,000 in extra fees, $7,000 for parking, waiting 2 hours to get into said parking, waiting for 11 hours in line to get into the concert, paying $1,100 for a beer after waiting in line for 6 hours to get it, stand in line for 14 hours to piss $1,100 beer into horrible smelling bathroom, listen to music you like only that sounds 50 times worse in person, get 754 beers spilled on you from 10,475 drunk screaming people around you, wait 6 hours to walk out, wait 8 hours in your car trying to get back out of parking.

I'm on the opposite side as you - if THAT is "life changing" to anyone - I feel sorry for them as well. LMAO

i think concerts have become more of a commercial / marketing tool than an actual experience... i wouldn't dream of going to a modern rap / edm concert... the last few I went to where just noise and yelling... classic rock, well unfotunately no one plays that anymore...

Now the people that paid those outrageous prices for the Taylor Swift concerts... well, I think they need help lol.

Tim Burton movies aren't bad...but they're way overrated.

Anything that is sold and labeled as "Collectible" really isn't. That's just a marketing ploy.

Last one: Your opinion is probably rooted more in emotional, rather than rational thought.

Pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeno thin crust pizza is awesome.

But being a bunch of old, rich white guys on a BMW forum, y'all probably think mayo is too spicy.
