February 7, 200917 yr i have to say that this thread embarrasses me a bit. i think that we americans have a right to be happy and that the people in the ignored countries have a right to be quite disappointed (but also a bit hopeful for monday :wink:). i do not, however, think that we americans have any right to complain nor feel offended by any "america hating" going on. don't you think these people have a right to be upset? the tweets got everyone all worked up, thinking that this might be something EVERYONE could enjoy, and then they find out that they don't get anything out of it, nothing. they're not angry at us or our country, they're angry at the management and the way that this was hyped up to EVERYONE. however, if people that have seen them before on this tour (or even had past tour dates in their area that they may or may not have been able to go to) keep talking and whining like they are, i think they ARE going start "america hating." the tour being in america specifically isn't the issue in my eyes--if they were visiting the UK or anywhere else for the third time on a big tour leg while ignoring other very large and loyal continents, people would be similarly angry after hyping it up like they did. i don't think these coldplayers are angry about it being in AMERICA, they're angry about it being anywhere for the third time. i'm american, and i'm gettng frustrated with the americans that are whining about them not being close enough to them, even though several of those people have seen them at least once this year judging by their signatures. it embarrasses me, frankly. of course, there are those americans that haven't seen them at all this year either, but put yourself in the shoes of a person from a country that hasn't seen coldplay at all this year and think about how much WORSE that must feel. the biggest mistake in all this was hyping it up through twitter without being specific to area. if this had been announced without fanfare, i have a feeling that the reactions would be slightly less strong, although still disappointed. i think a lot of this is because the spirits soared so high for one night, then crashed. let them be disappointed, and realize how lucky we are. and everyone should be hopeful for monday :D. i have a good feeling about south america :wink: EDIT: sorry to bring up all the heavy stuff again when it had gotten all lighthearted for a while :P. but that took me a while to type, and when i started, the heavy stuff was still going on :lol: +2 :kiss:
February 7, 200917 yr I still don't really understand what Twitter is, but it seems to have created quite a mess today! :lol:
February 7, 200917 yr You may laugh now but soon you'll be singing my chosen song on the Fourth of July otherwise known as Dependence Day :DIs that the day we have to help you change you adult diaper old woman? :P
February 7, 200917 yr They didn't have twitter when the Europe summer shows were announced, to cause a ruckus back then. And they only have just over 15, 000 followers on Twitter, so it's not that they "hyped it". There was no "hype" on their web site, just the announcement. We did all the hyping ourselves. :rolleyes:

February 7, 200917 yr I'd never even heard of Twitter until the Coldplay messenger claimed that they were "joining the twitter revolution". I was like "huh? the what revolution?" :P

February 7, 200917 yr Me too! I even considered getting one but then I checked it out and saw it was kinda dumb and pointless :dozey: same here
February 7, 200917 yr I got one just to subscribe to the Coldplay twitter. But I have no idea how to use it, nor do I plan on using it at all except to get Coldplay updates! It all seems pretty stupid to me! Write about your life in 140-character blurbs? No thanks... I can understand a band or something having a Twitter to keep fans super updated, but why would I need one? /off-topic :P

So people at the shows can post a set list as it happens. :D Oh and update us all on what they are having for supper tonight. :P
February 7, 200917 yr :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: "Just inhaled." 2 seconds later... "Ooh, I exhaled!" :rolleyes: Make a twitter, I'd view it everyday :nice:.
February 7, 200917 yr yes and if you forget to exhale, we can send you a twit and remind you so you won't die
February 7, 200917 yr I do have one! Like I said, I use it solely to get the Coldplay updates... But I should start posting updates like that :P EDIT: ^ Soon CPR will become obsolete- people will just send tweets saying "BREATHE!" and everyone will become immortal :dance: haha I just noticed- send me a twit! *imagines that*
