And yet you paid for the ticket and went to the concert? I guess Gaga's wardrobe caught you by surprise?

No I took my Marine nephew and his date to Cleveland for a weekend of fun and the concert was their request. I love all music and to me the human body is beautiful. Seeing a nude body however has it's place and I believe Gaga doesn't need to be naked to sing like she does.

Cher wore outfits like this for years and nothing was ever said. It's a show. The play and movie "Old Calcutta" was done in the nude. Stage shows in Paris have been topless forever. Get over yourself with your archaic views. You could have walked out.

@3rd Party:

I guess you never went to a concert by Madonna. Those were the times when people were no so "righteous".

The only immoral thing is to show your body naked in the beach if you are more than 300 pounds. Many people do. They use thongs and bikinis, and they are eye sores. Sorry to be callous, but this thread is about showing your body.

Lady Gaga is beautiful. What is wrong with showing a beautiful body, that fast food companies are putting on the extinction list?

Tolerate what I want but not what you want. Isn't that correct?

I know its all about money..but why do people even bother going to places like that and waste their times..they want to live like in the stone ages..let them be that way. To bad some there have to suffer because of others..having a sell out concert means some do enjoy it.

"Tolerate what I want but not what you want. Isn't that correct?"

isn't that exactly what you just said was so righteous about yourself and indoneisans. no one held a gun to your or their head and made you or them go to the concert.

Just because America is swirling in the toilet bowl of immorality doesn't mean the rest of the world is and Gaga should know and respect that.

Tolerate what I want but not what you want. Isn't that correct?

You need to make up your mind....Can't have it both ways

What did I say? Did I say one way or the other if I approved or not? NO I DID NOT.

All I DID say was Gaga would sound the same with clothes on and America is losing it's morallity. That's fine. I live on 356 acre and I don't one damn what goes on outside my *world* so long as I do not have to LIVE IN IT.

I have an opnion and you do too. I tolerate yours and you just prove with all your troll remarks that YOU DO NOT.

So bite me pal.

3rdparty, you keep missing the point. To the people who BUY tickets to her show, she doesn't have to put on clothes.

I live on 356 acre and I don't one damn what goes on outside my *world* so long as I do not have to LIVE IN IT.

That's the mentality of most right-wingers I meet. If they're not like me or not somthing *I* approve of then it's bad or evil. It's the righties that are divisive. San Fransisco, New York or Boston are not American in their mind and not part of their view of America.

"my *world*" says it all. News flash, not everything is about *you*.

Libearls = Inclusive , Righties = Divisive.

Why didn't you cover your eyes with your burka???

Actually, Lady Gaga is not beautiful...she's actually pretty hideous.

I love how the libs want to say Gaga is right and the muslims are wrong now...when right after 911 they were so devout in us having to understand muslim culture....let me guess, Liberals used to be against flip-flopping, but now they're for it?

Seems like two extremes ... the movie title would be:

"When Trash & Holy Rollers Collide ...........

Gaga is creepy and a skank. Great example of spin marketing for someone with no talent. She is also self centered leaving the awards after she realized no prize, I would pass on this hoe too.........

Just because America is swirling in the toilet bowl of immorality doesn't mean the rest of the world is and Gaga should know and respect that.

The rest of the world doesn't deserve to have freedom of expression.

And no, it has nothing to do with morality. It's not like nudity is something that hasn't been seen before.

You can call her names, you can dislike her stage show, you can even not like her music, but when you say she has no talent you show your ignorance/bias against her views. She is very talented and I believe she is pretty good looking to boot! That's just my opinion on her looks, the talent spans all genres, she has proven the talent with her fan base.

Anyone silly enough to pay to watch/listen to her, deserves anything they get

Lady Gaga is a mediocre singer at best. None of her songs I find memorable at all. I have nothing against her. that being said, I think she's a marketing genius. Her costumes are always outlandish, and her fans and critics are always watching to see what she dons next. It's no wonder her concerts sell out.

Does anyone think she be even half as popular as she is if she were to just dress plain Jane all the time?

I like some of her songs, would not pay to see her, though. However, since I saw her on 60 Minutes I have some respect for her. She's smart...and knows how to market herself.

From what I have read about her standing up and speaking out for some peple, I think she cancelled the show so no one there would get hurt.

It's that simple.

It's confusing to see a group of people who get so irate over things like sexuality and dress, threaten to kill others because of it, yet claim to be so holier than thou.

I see some of the viners from yesterday's discussion about Kansas and the law concerning the legality of Sharia Law in American courts.

This is what Europe is dealing with on a daily basis. Muslim groups forcing their will on the government. Zero tolerance for anything that isnt compatible with Sharia Law.

All of the liberals that so vehemently attacked Kansas probably love Lady Gaga. How would you like your government to tell you who or what will be on stage?

No more raves. No more strip clubs. No more cute girls wearing bikini's on the beach.

America needs to wake up. Islam is not the religion of peace.

Maybe some would like to return to the days of puritanical morals, but I for one, would not. Are some so blinded by faith (or party for that matter...) that they can not see they are espousing the EXACT SAME THING that they are decrying?

I guess there is such a thing as "blind faith" Sad........... The rest of us will pray for you......

What a myth. America is losing it's morality because Lady Gaga performs half naked.

You guys are a load of Shiite. If you are so offended, don't go to her concert! It's as simple as that. Don't try to control the people who aren't offended and want to see her.

The problem is with the sick minded religious zealots who want to control the common culture. Lady Gaga is hurting nobody nor making victims of anybody. A musical dance fest is far healthier than a suicide bomber. I don't go to religious prayer sessions and try to stop them because they promote lies and delusion. Don't try to control everyone else becasue your religious nut is overstimulated.

Annnnd yet again I waste my time on another thread of comments that turn into political bickering...

Why is everyone knocking Gaga? This story's about that religion of acceptance and peace. You know, the one eveybody's turning a blind eye to and allowing to do the same thing in this country.

I say Gaga can take off what she wants' If it pisses off the muslims, even better. If anyone's ever been to a muslim country you'd see they actually prefer the company of young boys over women...probably why they dislike Gaga so much.

The dancing around on stage half naked is just to increase her marketing fan base it has nothing to do with whether shes a good singer or not. Unfortunately this tactic doesn't work in some countries so get over it. I find my self watching some female singers music videos not because I like their song but because she is nearly naked and performing erotic moves. Its almost like porn for young kids with no rating. If that's not capitalizing on young men's desires then what is.

Sally, how about all the comments that followed #1? Why did they have to be deleted as well?

Good question ED-NavDoc.

I don't like the poster, it shows they don't know anything about hell. I don't like Gaga either. She is just a stripper and should be confinded to dark forbidden rooms.

maybe, maybe not. It's more likely to be the result of religious dogma and intolerance. I find her music shallow and annoying and her appearance unattractive at best. I would pay money to avoid being exposed to her. She is as untalented as Kiss or Britney Spears- all shock/show, almost no music. I can understand people who think they know God's will and are willing to stand up for it drawing a line in the sand. I think they're grossly wrong, but I understand it. She, on the other hand, MUST be aware that, like Madonna, she is selling sex and shock, not good music. She should expect that some religious fanatics would be aggresive towards her. I mean, for Pete's sake, there are churches in the US that have insulted American soldiers that have died in the service of their country because the church thought that homosexuality was more important than honoring the fallen heroes and their family. Is it really a surprise that some fanatics take issue with this? And I assure you, I don't suffer from sexual repression, just good taste. And she doesn't have any. This may not be right but it is certainly understandable.

"Churches?" There is only one church in the U.S. that protests the war in the manner

that you state. Why is everything "relative" to the American culture? Otherwise I agree

with your statement.

Who cares about this woman?
Not me.

Religious dogma and intolerance and repressed sexual desire go hand-in-hand.

Nut-job religion is a psychiatric disorder.

What did she expect??!!

Thomas Blue you know nothing about her. Try reading what she does for charities, etc behind the scenes.

Drushalli it was already sold out the ones protesting were not going anyway. They just wanted to control and be in the news.

@Custer Boy

"Churches?" There is only one church in the U.S. that protests the war in the manner

that you state.

We're most likely thinking of the same one. Woodmont or something. Totally disgusting. While I don't generally support war, it is unconscionable to bring more anguish on a family grieving the loss of a father, son, husband, or wife. And yet these fanatics still do. It's in all cultures. You may remember that the KKK waved the Bible while hiding their faces and murdering black men for no real reason. The Muslim world doesn't have a monopoly on fanaticism. And even though it's just the one church, at least that I know of, it is indicative of a spiritual illness by people who claim to be spiritual. A bit ironic actually.

UrsaMajor...with all due respect, I don't care about her charitable works if I'm looking for music to enjoy. Her music sucks,IMO. If she does good works, then I applaud that but it doesn't make her music any better than what it is. There are many musicians who both have talent and do charitable works without a conflict in their music and deportment like Sting or Bono. I don't care for her music. It think it's shallow.

Islam doesn't believe in artistic talent, it's the uneducated socalled mullah/clerics who only know the koran from front to back, back to front pages. islamist will always enforce it's will thru intimidation and violence. I say uneducated is all they know is the koran rote memorization and have no understanding whatsoever that other people have rights as well as they have, is like a frog in a deep well and thinks all frogs should be like them. from reading the koran it advocate violence, slavery condition, anihilation and forced conversion or death to non islam believers, even after reading The Satanic verses book it confirm the savagery, barbaric rituals and backwardness. When was there a muslim(s) scientist developed something good for humankind benefit beside bombmakers. islam does not promote modern day values it wants keep 7th century lifestyle.

Questions were raised about the ‘Born This Way Ball’ in Jakarta after the extremist Islamic Defenders Front predicted violence if it went ahead, calling the singer a “devil’s messenger” who wears only a “bra and panties” on stage

----- coming from people that wear towels on their head

All they know is violence...

the scary part is that muslim or any middle eastern influence is spreading...esp in asia.

i dont understand why people would follow a religion bent on spreading terror and hate, with violence always on the move

have people completely lost thier minds?

you can hate lady gaga, you can hate her music, you can hate her style....BUT, would you actually hold a protest for her staging and performing, not to you, but to other people who actually want her there?

when was the last time religion has pushed their "religious standard" on other people? i mean these self rightoeuss lunes arnt found in the USA, I MEAN AMERICA! right?! /troll

While I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga they're wrong. If you find her offensive don't go to her concerts. No one is forcing anyone to go see her. Our right-wing nut jobs want to do the same thing here. If there's something they don't like they don't want anyone to have access to it.

maybe if she wasnt such a freak, people like her are making our kids think the sh*t that's not okay is, shoot even brittany spears is better than her

you judge what you know not. the so called towel is a historical use for centries to protect from the burning rays of the sun. not a moral comment. and at least it's not meat

I remember people saying the same things about Elvis, how his concerts were going to rain immorality down on the heads of his fans. They said it about him, Madonna, Tom Jones, etc. If you don't like her don't buy her products. Granted you can't tell teens anything they don't want to hear but are people saying they have no control over what kind of music their children listen too in the home, I know outside the home you loose some control but if my parents said no that was it.

the only thing Lady Gaga is wrong about is dressing as she does in Muslim countries--she should respect their beliefs when performing there. Yes the human body is beautiful but their religion says it should be covered and for the eyes of their husbands only (I'm not even sure if complete nudity is allowed between husband and wife).

However, those pictured at the beginning of this article (the sign-carrying Muslims) are also wrong in condemning her to "go to hell" -- I don't even think the Muslim faith believes in hell (I may be wrong) but according to what I have heard and has been published Allah is supposedly all-forgiving and all-loving.

What would women do W/O the Muslim & GOP Terrorist telling them what to do?

"The War On Women" drum beats on in the East, MiddleEast and the USA

IRESPOND-2315268's comment:

I don't understand why this person's comment was collapsed. There is no cursing, no bad language, etc. What is wrong with it? It's right on target!

I don't care for Lady Gaga, but come on people! Wake up! Don't think for a minute those Islamic fundamentalists won't be doing this here. (Better watch out for the Religious Right in this country, also.)

Bet this comment gets collapsed, also.

Good for her...she's such a freak...Miley Cyrus would be more welcoming than her.

What angers me is that when Muslims protest, people automatically associate them with extremists or terrorists. Grow up people..those people fight to preserve their cultural values. Maybe if Lady gaga dress normal she'll be somewhat welcoming.

And I don't buy the argument "You don't like her don't watch her".

Even the the devils advocate, Bin Laden, had a computer. The terrorists days are numbered regardless of how many innocent people they blow up trying to stop the information technology from spreading throughout their world. Their beating women and children and murdering men that do not do the same days are numbered. In the final days it was predicted that the whole world will speak one language. Through the internet and pc world, it is almost here.

Lady Cat: While I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga they're wrong. If you find her offensive don't go to her concerts. No one is forcing anyone to go see her. Our right-wing nut jobs want to do the same thing here. If there's something they don't like they don't want anyone to have access to it.

--------------

Not in any way to justify the religious authoritarians who want to censor what they view as immorality, but far more worthy of concern is the censorship of anything that can be viewed as politically incorrect on college campuses around this country.

@sockurmouth said "when was the last time religion has pushed their "religious standard" on other people? i mean these self rightoeuss lunes arnt found in the USA, I MEAN AMERICA! right?! /troll" Admittedly, I'm not sure his comment was his own thinking or if he was mocking someone else, so this comment is for whoever originated the part I show in qutes. Apparently you haven't been reading or keeping up with some of the news lately. There was a primary election in NC earlier this month in which "Amendment One" was on the ballot. It was passed and in case you don't know what it is, it is an amendment to the NC state constitution stating that the only union recognized as legal in NC is marriage between one man and one woman. That means that no recognition of any union is legally allowed for any reason - benefits, insurance, rights of survivorship if a partner dies, permission granted in the case of a medical situation like an accident of emergence (ie - permission to operate in a life threatening situation could be delayed, to the partner unless the union was 1 man and 1 woman that are married. This amendment was introduced/sponsored by the Republicans and backed and promoted by right wing. extereme conservatives based on "the Bible says" and was mostly designed to disallow gays from marrying but the umbrella also precludes the rights of one man and one woman who are cohabiting without being "legally" married. It passed mainly because the conservative religious zealots preyed on the rural constituents who are church goers and largely under educated by pushing the religious aspect as well as the bias against gays. The amendment passed throughout the state of NC, which is mostly rural with the exception of the Raleigh and Charlotte areas, which are urban. NC is only one of many who have now passed this type of legislation. This is blatantly "pushing their religious standard" on others.

i cant beleive how little people know about muslims try learning about what you comment on. thats like saying all preist are child milesters or that all white are kkk members .when you talk poop you show how stupid you sound . and as for as what you call towels on their heads is a form of protection from the sun in the desert what was gaga whearing MEAT???????????and what about the texas bombing in the name og god every body has some claiming something in the name of god or ALLAH dosn't mean all of them do agree whith what they say . after all some people syill want to see her so what does that say. to each his own you will answer only for what you so not someone else i will not answer for 911 and i don't like what happen but i am proud of my religion and i will answer in the end for my self not for what you did in your life .so there for i tell you not how to live yours go see her if you want just not in my back yard.

does anyone really understand what that allowing gays to get married will do it will force people to go against what they beleive in .a church in cal. stated it had to be changed to union to protect the rights of all.if that passes in your state any gay can go to your church to asked to be married and if they refuse it's based on disrcimination they can sew the church that clearly breaks the division of church and state. why make a big deal what you call it when we cross bread an animal it's still an animal but we call it a different bread.whats more important the name or the rights that come with it? if they didn't fight that we would by now have equal rights no matter the sex

Why do liberals run around saying that conservatives want to do the same things as these Muslims. That's just ridiculous. I know liberals that have their own moral compass, some like mine, some not. Why throw politics into everything? Is that all you've got in the way of opinions and comments. I'm a conservative and pick and choose what I want to see regardless of what anyone else thinks or does - probably just like you. Lady GaGa isn't my kind of entertainment, I just don't buy a ticket. I'll leave that to you. Grow up, please.

Lady Cat you are right, but in muslim society they don't recoqnize individual right(s). Exhorting mass protest due to some backward 7th century thinking instigator is a norm in that type of society that have no clue whatsover that others have rights too. Look at the pathetic taliban in Afhganistan, they did same, no music, no singing, no tv, no drawings, no artistic talent allowed. Given a chance to each individual to choose they will bolt away. Allowing each individual to see for them self does not exist, keeping them all under the darkness in a deep well and under control is better for the socalled person who said god convey his message to him. Figure God will do the work Himself if He dislike Lady Gaga performance don't need some earthlink to do His dirtywork.

In response to "Good!'s" comment.......What is normal?????? You must be another one of those religious right people. You think you have a right to judge, and people should bow to your beliefs. Well I have news for you.....you are no better than the suicide bombers who kill everyone just because they don't believe what you do. You are the people without morals, shoving your beliefs down people throats......I personally do not care for Lady Gaga...but I do believe in the freedom of the arts. If you don't like her DONT WATCH(too bad you don't buy into that statement)......people are sick and tired of the religious right telling us what we can and can't do in our own personal lives, as long as we are breaking no laws, or hurting anyone....what business is it of yours??.....You are not perfect.....so you have no right telling anyone else what is right or wrong....just like the Muslims, you believe your beliefs are the only true ones....individualism is a scary thing to you....isn't it?

Good,, you dont by the if you dont like her dont watch her, YOU must be a RAG HEAD>

Well the Christan's in the Philippines protested her lack of morals, now the Muslims in Jakarta threaten her and her fans with violence and possible death, she is not what America needs as a representative, that's a fact she is hated as much as loved even in the US. she is a modern day freak show with a little shock entertainment, that's not for everyone. her shows are borderline porn, I don't expect that someone borne and raised without morals would understand how a person that has morals would view the woman. but this is America so each can make their own decision on that matter you can go to her concerts or you can avoid her. but to lash out at the way other people view her is wrong we do have free choice don't we, what I see is the smut mongers are trying to degrade the moral element in our society what are you afraid of. I can't believe that some people are attacking conservatives and the GOP for what happens in Indonesia, who left the gates to the asylum open.

When in Rome you do as the Romans do. When in Indonesia you DON'T get to do as the Romans do. She and her follower's don't get that part.

misunderstood2

you judge what you know not. the so called towel is a historical use for centries to protect from the burning rays of the sun. not a moral comment. and at least it's not meat

Really? Here in Canada where I live, the Muzzy immigrants / refugees wear this nonsense even in the dead of our frigid winters. I often wonder how they don't get frost bite some of the times.

The government ok it but we know who is in charge in this country Muslim extremists. If it was the USA the muslims would be able to have their show and the entertainer would be protected. I think I'll go burn some Korans

So....to the people on this blog that say they don't like Lady Gaga, can't stand her music, wouldn't go to her concert........Why are you reading about her and commenting on her? You want the attention ! Lady Gaga gets attention her way. Think you are any different....Not! Yeah rt wingers are forcing their religious beliefs on the Untited States every day! No birth control, no more Planneded Parenthood, sex for only married people...That is the republican PLATFORM! That and more tax breaks for the rich...as if you are Millionaires and billionaires. Costumes to protect from the burning rays of sun in Canada? England? North America...

Costumes for religions with pointy hats , others make women cover up so other men won't covet their women...CONTROL freaks.

War on women will get worse if you vote righty tighty.

Lady Gaga is a wonderful person. Costumes a nice gimmick, yeah all the successful entertainers have a gimmick. Wigs and boob jobs for Dolly but she sings gospel music now and then, so her boobs are ok for rt wingers.........What a joke. Again...you don't like Gaga.........good bye!

@misunderstood2--- historical or not have put a few holes in those towels and would gladly do it again !!

misunderstood2-seriously? You think the world is going to end because people are going to be forced to do things they otherwise wouldn't if we allow gay marriage? That if gay people are allowed to get married that suddenly a switch will be flipped and EVERYONE will be forced to accept it? Wow. People have the right to believe what they want to believe and guess what, they have the right to move to a different church if their church suddenly decides it's okay to perform a marriage ceremony for two homosexual individuals. AND churches have a right to refuse to perform such ceremonies if they want-it's their religious right. You're comparing gay marriage to crossbreeding animals-guess no one ever told you that homosexuals couldn't naturally have a child. Gay marriage doesn't breed a new generation of homosexuals. It breeds a generation of people who have tolerance and acceptance for people who are slightly different than us but still believe in the things we believe it, i.e. people unlike you. If you don't like alcohol, don't drink. If you don't believe in premarital sex, don't have it. If you don't like drugs, don't do them. If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry a member of the same sex. But don't demand that people do the things or not do the things you would or wouldn't do, simply because you believe it's right or wrong. I've lost friendships this way, not even over the gay marriage issue, but because the person was so righteous in their belief that their opinion was so correct, all of the time, that they couldn't see that it was the diversity and differences among their friends that made them so compatible because there was always something new to discuss and learn about and agree to disagree over or bond over. You don't have to like every single thing your friend, parents, partner, coworkers, etc, like. That's what makes the world go round.

to jacoby, the answer is no. Right or left, it's the entire life of posters like that. 10:1, none of them could even have a face to face conversation with a real person instead of an unidentified user name.

Why do the ill informed and ignorant always make something into a political thing.

They have a different set of beliefs than you or her. They also have the right to decide what is OK in their country, just as we have the right to decide what we accept in ours. But not the other way around. Don't get it do you? Didn't think you would..........

I think what people are getting at is the concert was sold out so she has a following there, and those people were denied their right by the extremist, the people are not free to make their own decisions, good or bad frankly the woman makes my skin crawl but that should not stop others from seeing her if that's what they want to do.

I Suppose they say the same about the west.

Precisely how I feel about conservatives in general..always with no instead of yes...always trying to stop people from being themselves...always afraid something bad is going to happen.

Morning culheath,

and certain liberals never worry that something bad is going to happen....?

1) Earth imploding due to environmental issues

2)women not getting birth control

3) The fat cats of wall street taking over the world enslaving us to corporate greed

4) every minority will be round up and deported

5) a ghestapho state being created to ensure that you are never allowed to post online ever again

come on man it is a beautiful day, time to smile, have a cold one on me

your so right culheath, those evil conservatives threatening to kill everyone who does not agree with them is just like the "muslim world"

The religion of Peace and Tolerance................Pitooey!

Yeah those pesky conservatives have to keep saying no to paying culheath's bills. How dare they! If only culheath would try and get a job and start contributing to the tax base, then maybe the conservatives can start saying yes again.

I don't think the authorities would have allowed Gaga to go on stage even if she wanted too. The Muslim extremists in Indonesia aren't afraid to use violence if they think it's necessary.... much like certain liberals in America... remember the hissy fit they had when they thought they'd have to start paying for their own contraceptives, yikes! You'd think the conservatives and Christians we're trying to take food away from them, lol! Indonesia has their religious fanatics, we have the far left zealots!

LOL ok man...

It's OK to screw goats and little boys. Muhammad is a pedophile.

Brian the only way you could prove that is if you were involved and were there.

Not really.....plenty of videos on you tube. Those poor goats and donkeys.

actually, ursamajor, brian is correct...homosexutality was/is widely practiced in islamic countries...mohammed promises 72 virgins AND 20 pre-pube boys in heaven...from the quran 52:24 "and there will go around boy-servants of theirs to serve them as if they are preserved "of the joy of sodomy, so now you sodomites, you arbabs, turn not away from it, therein is wonderous pleasure, take some coy lad with kiss-curls twisting on their temples and ride as he stands like some gazelle standing for her mate..make for smooth-faced boys and do your very best to mount them, for women are the mounts of devils"'

.....if you're interested in the truth about islam, google "72 virgins and boys" you might be shocked...it's a pretty twisted religion...they ban gaga, but advocate raping boys.

I am muslim and lived in us more than 25 years.My big question why lady kaka want to go a muslim country to show up her ass and else. Maybe keep it at home here,sorry.

the concert was SOLD OUT in that muslim country, so i'm going to guess a great many people wanted to see her "ass and else"

Larry,you need to know what i mean it,for her own safety she dose not need to be there because this not US or UK trust me i do not care if she sing nicked everybody have different values.I am very open mind trust me.

Larry D - I bet you could sell out a performance of adults banging little kids in this country if you wanted too. Doesn't mean that is right or would be tolerated...........

ah, ok, now i understand....actually thought exactly the same thing why would she want to go there, not only for her own safety but for the people at the concert....things could have gotten very ugly...and i don't only mean gaga ;-)

david k....would you mind telling us how you happen to know about those u tube video's of goats etc?

Its probably for the better, those people are not ready for that type of alien invasion. to much culture shock.

@david k Do you watch allot of those kind of videos?

Oh really. I never knew that staying away from rubbish and sins was considered "ruining everything". Don't turn this into a matter of religion, you will just be owned badly. If only I could talk to all people like you face-to-face; you would stand badly corrected. Same goes for brian-869346 and many others. I have nothing against Lady Gaga; I LOVE her MUSIC. I am not though with the way her shows and over-exposed clothes go and all (it's her choice - what she decides to dress up as) but their many people like her (she isn't the only one) and all I can do about this is ignore and maybe stay away from it. OPINIONS DIFFER BETWEEN PEOPLE, BUT DON'T YOU EVER CROSS THE LINE!

I hope you read this, respect it, and understand it. THIS ISN'T A HATE MESSAGE AND THAT'S THE WAY ALL COMMENTS SHOULD GO AS: no swearing, no hating, and no stupid judgments and assumptions. (:

I wish we did have some morality police in this country...

The dream of the evangelical Taliban.

Our freedoms have contributed to our downfall.

What's contributed to our downfall, if there is one, is bigotry, greed, constant hypocrisy from the religious and celebration of willful ignorance.

Being an old, reactionary fart must be depressing for you.

couldn't have said it better myself. we should tear up our constitution and create a state where the government controls everything we think , do and say THAT is the only way to have a civilized society! oh wait, i know what that's called!!!!! we need to become the totalitarian states of america then and only then will we become moral, righteous, holy, civilized people because individuals are evil.

I totally agree xo

Actually, it's the diminishing collective personal responsibility, regard for others, and the diminishing degree of the use of good common sense resulting in the explosions of legislation and litigation. If people would take time, they would realize they have infinitely more in common than their petty differences.

I fear that you might have something there. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube however. What can be done?

gooddoctor:

If you are addressing me, all I know is make the best attempt where you are by being reasonable and maintaining a postive but grounded outlook, after that; "pray."

Ah, yes, descrs, letting the kiddies watch tv, especially the news, is bad for them. Look at all of the shootings, kidnappings, and war they show on the nightly news. If you, as a parent, do not want your child to watch a particular program, you can take the remote from him/her or you can use the parent control chip that almost all tv's have had for quite a number of years now.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's (Muslim's) whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his "tribe". Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

We call this a free country. I personally prefer that it remain that way. Morality police????? You must subscribe to Orwellian tenents. You are not entitled with the right to come into my home and tell me what I can or cannot do. If you don't think the kiddies should watch something, there are many solutions - the "off" button, the electrical plug, satellite TV and probably cable have controls that can be set to disallow channels or programming from being displayed on the set. My children are grown and gone and have children of their own so I'm not worried about content, I just turn it off if I'm offended - very easy. For those who think there should be "morality police" no one has the right to tell someone else how to raise their children unless the children are being abused - end of story.

>descrs-1664846 "so much infidelity and prostitution and child molestation, etc" have existed for thousands of years. Check the Bible so many like to tout. Many of the patriarchs had multiple wives and concubines, prostitution was widespread and check out what some of the ancient Greeks subscribed to. What about Roman soldiers "burning, raping and pillaging"? This isn't something new brought about by TV.

Yes. Now days young kids know more about dark side of sex then alot of the adults. When I was a kid which was not that long ago we bearly had porn. You would have to steal a mag from your older brother just to see a bearly revealing centrefold. Now any kid 0-18 with an internet access can watch Anal, DP, Gangbangs, Rimjobs, throatgaging and even Gay. They are also exposed to the endless miss information and stupid ideas that come from watching youtube. While these are great sources of entertainment more care should be taken in who can view them.

Kind of like Kansas.

The bullies only win when nobody stands up to them.

the religious terrorist win again.

Oh give it time. We already have the golden idol bull down on wall street. It won't be long until orgies in the streets will be the norm from Sodom NY to Gamorrah CA. There's so little left to do that is what some would call *Shocking*.

HEY... Watch your mouth... I live in Kansas ;-)

zj MoRpHiNe cArNiVaL jz

you are a great example...you like lady gaga! ...~you hate religion

what is the solution to this problem? ...this source of hatred?

I don't hate religion, I hate the hypocrites who pervert it by claiming their allegiance to Jesus and then acting in ways exactly opposite to his teachings and examples.

ban gaga

ban fear ridden judgmental busybodies

Wichita Dude

HEY... Watch your mouth... I live in Kansas ;-)

Sorry, you have my deepest condolences. :)

Took the words right out of my mouth, culheath. But hey, things are looking up in Kansas. They just banned Sharia law.

Now if they would only ban the literal interpretation of the bible and the bible bigots who want us all to adhere to their primitive old testament morality. I understand there is a proposal to allow liberals and libertarians to leave Kansas with just the clothes on their backs and some family mementos.

Kind of like Kansas.

The bullies only win when nobody stands up to them.

Hey culheath, I would bet money you've never been to Kansas! If you had, you probably saw many hard working folks. I would also guess you don't have a job and collecting government benefits keeps you too busy to work or travel to places like Kansas.

lmao, You're the reason liberals have such a bad rep!

left is fuzzy

You'd lose the bet and you guessed wrong. I've been in every state except Hawaii and met good and bad, smart and dumb people in each one... and, oh yeah, I run an IT company.

lmao, You're the reason liberals have such a bad rep!

Liberals only have a bad rep to the willfully-ignorant, self-centered atavists who can't handle existing without always being afraid of one thing or another and are threatened by change and a world without absolutes.

How is Islam a terrorist religion.Read their bible, the Quran. No where in it does it say they allow/promote terrorism!

You sound dumb."Religious terrorist"? I doubt you've read the Islamic bible, the Quran. No where in it does it say they allow/promote violence.Its all the society that does it in countries. Learn the difference between religion and culture before you open your mouth. Though Im not Muslim, it clearly is a great religion. Thats why its the fastest growing religion in the world today!

I don't believe a word of it! Culheath, your mind plays tricks on you while under the influence of today's recreational drugs. My recommendation is for you to get some help..... I do, however, believe you are a liberal, lol!

You are wrong...first of all, she could dress in a potato sack and I would watch her (and millions would too)...she is great- a visionary and an amazing talent. She is a PERFORMER, when are you simple minded folk going to get that...? she is provocative-so what, she is hot. These idiot muslims would rather throw acid in women's faces and deny them rights...sad, ignorant and VERY backwards thinking...idiots.

Bull@!$%#. Lady Gaga owns the @!$%# out of madonna.

Bleed Slow

Bull@!$%#. Lady Gaga owns the @!$%# out of madonna.

Yeah right, Gaga is a TOTAL copycat (and she copies Madonna plenty), Madonna is/was original. Every single one of Gaga's outfits was/is a copy of someone else's. Her ex-boyfriend is the one who "created" her "Gaga" image, and the name Gaga is from the song from Queen.

You bring up an interesting point: Why have there not been more songs denouncing Muslim life and extremes? I would think a tune such as that would be a monster hit. I may write one myself ...

Let's all write a tune, CD cover graphics depict Mohammed with a bomb in his head - you know? Even some good poetry would be entertaining.

Who can name 5 words that rhyme with Muslim??

Because writing an anti-Muslim song would cause a jihad against the writer and/or performer, as certain cartoonists could tell you if they were still alive.

OR maybe they have better songs to write and don't care to bring more bigotry into the world..

Amerswede,

yer right.

With all her blather you would think she would have taken a stand on Islam long ago.

She got a pair?...

"Ya, you betcha...."

not

Her idea of "rad" will be renouncing herself and trading the pasties for a burka and calling it women's lib

I think that would be a mistake if she did a song about this. Maybe generalize about hatred but nothing personal against Islam. This would only minimize her stance against hatred in general and thats what she's against right? Personally, I don't think the religious fundamentalists have won necessarily. This puts a black eye against Indonesia. They can give excuses about devil worshiper and all but that just proves these people are intolerant, ignorant and immature. If they believe indonesian kids would be unruly and effect negatively on their country then that says they have no faith on their own people. If they are smart , MATURE, and really faithful to their religion nothing like Gaga's show would deter their faith. But I guess there are doubts.

If she can write Judas, she can write "Aisha".

Yeah right!

Try inviting both a Liberal and a Conservative to speak on a college campus and see which gets shut down by radical extremists.

Typical left-wing tactics, straight from the Saul Alinsky handbook:

Always accuse the other side of doing what YOU do.

Always try to make the other side live up to standards that You set but DON'T adhere to.

Wichita Dude

By going to Indonesia for a concert, that has one the biggest Muslim populations on the planet, she was obviously trying to make a statement...

The problem is, I don't have a clue as to what that statement might be...

You have a bit of a point... I work, contractually with the movie industry, and when a move has no plot, they fill in the gaps with explosions, special effects, and nudity.

So, with that logic, I can't sing; however, if I take off all my cloths, people might come to my concerts... Scratch that, I don't think ANYONE would come to see me sans clothes ;-)

you would be suprised , lol

Wichita Dude...lol

Have you been to New York or San Fransisco lately? Is that how you judge people by their looks? How shallow. Try looking at the person and look behind the scenes at the Charities and other things she is involved in. BTW did you feel the same about Sher?

All religions are screwed up. This one especially so...

Nothing "artistic" about it; simply provocation.

You have a point...

The concert was sold out is that "Moderate Islamic"?
