Why I don't like U2.

"Why I don't like U2"
a research paper by Galatia

My problem with U2 is the guitar player. He calls himself the Edge. His own mother calls him the Edge. This would not be so bad if we could leave off at the fact that it is a now defunct ride at Great America.

In wakeboarding, one thing that causes you to fall is "catching an edge." In ice skating one thing that causes you to fall is "losing an edge." Since the terms "an" and "the" are not mutually exclusive, and have been substituted for one another on occasion, this leads me to believe that the Edge is dangerous. He causes people to fall.

In Christianity, to fall is often shorthand for "to fall away from the church," in essence turning your back on God.

I believe that playing tag with the Edge will lead to the spiritual downfall of anyone who pursues him. If you catch the Edge, you fall. If you lose the Edge, you fall.

That is why I don't like U2.

You need lessons in detecting humour, don't you...

I liked Joshua Tree and I've liked some of the stuff they've done since. But their latest album is underwhelming.

That is a very well thought out and prepared essay. A+++

Sarcasm wasn't as easily detected on CGR as I previously thought....

Very good essay! No logical fallacies, no off topic rants, none of that wrong crap. Just a solid reason why U2 is a heathen band.

Is the average intelligence quotient dropping on this forum or is it just everyone except me?
