    So much misinformation. Like minded miseducated activists think alike. And then spread the misinformation. Group Think. Yes.

    An ARTICLE? This faux Armageddon misinformation is everywhere. Scare tactics to serve selfish interests. “The ocean will overcome and flood major cities and entire cities will be under 15 feet of water.

    Permanently!”

    I do know that whole Australia fire thing was staged (I just know it), so good for you for joining my team! Happy to have such a sharp mind with me.

    Objection!

    The question assumes a fact not in evidence.

    So that's why there's no songs about being orange.

    It’s interesting how it kinda seems you were just waiting amongst the weeds to pop up with this well prepared post.

    Kudos to your nimble quick reply!

    After the sugar high of ABBA there was nowhere to go but down.

    Are modern songs sadder than "Tell Laura I Love Her," "Teen Angel," "Dead Man's Curve," etc.? I'm skeptical.

    i believe it is because most of the major acts lead singers whine and cry rather than sing. a trend that sort of started with adele and then champoioned by sam smith......its now carried over to chris martin, patrick monaghan (remember when they covered led zeppelin?), adam levine, and a whole bunch of others that i catch on the radio on those rare times that i listen to it.

    All I can say is that only few modern songs can make me feel good so I guess that's it. :cool:

    Donfrance As honest as a politician.

    So, the song: I'm not in love, would qualify positive because the word love is in it? Is it AI interpreting this or the same people who are judges for any poll in Rolling Stone Magazine? In either case the result, interpretation and meaning should be taken with all sorts of salt you can get your hands on.
