    now, correct me if im wrong... but his oppinion is that roger waters is an idiot, and you are saying he is and idiot for thinking that. now, are you not in turn calling yourself an idiot?

    we should'nt be saying roger himself is an idiot, his views may be idiotic in nature, but one opinion does not cast a black saddow upon him.

    Take hitler for example, he was probably the worst human being to live in the 20th centuary, but can you deny that he was a strategic genius?

    Good point about stalin, i wasnt just talking about death tolls though. what i was trying to get across remains the same.

    (one could argue that Hitler's murders were, in fact, worse because he was intending to wipe out a whole race)

    also the USSR almost wipe us out off the map "of course so would they" during the cuban missle crisis and in the early 1980s when a screw up satellite said we had launch a missle attack on russia, very lucky a cool headed russian double check before sending thousands of nuclear warheads to every Nato country. and the main target USA.

    i really can deny him being a strategic genius. its a given he worked his way to the top in germany, but in the war he was a moron and could not of lasted as long as he did without his generals...ex. Rommel

    roger waters has always been an idiot about everything.
    find everything written by roger and you'll see, he's the real madcap of pink floyd.

    well...here's some basic idiot roger stuff; he thinks he should be getting 60% of all money ever made by pink floyd, he instantly called himself leader of the band when syd went away, [rumour goes that syd didn't get mad at all but was tired of rogers behaviour and that roger then said; syd's gone mad] and so on, there's a whole lot of these kinda 'small' stories, and in every interview he makes these weird quotes but that arcticle is the worse. but, well, i dunno i just mean there's always weird/idiot things that go with roger waters. so the article is not surprising at all. its like, even if you'd say, oh well half of all the crap he says and the stories about him must be untrue
    he'd still be weird.

    Roger has a right to his own opinion. I love his music and Pink Floyd's music regardless of their personal choices.

    Agreed


    And roger waters...who cares? He makes good music...thats all I care about. Let him do what he wants. If the foxes have a problem, they can take care of it themselves...


    P.S. Not said completely seriously...

    I think that Roger Waters is a great bassist, but I still think that he is an asshole for selling out only because he missed Syd Barrett
