Tears for fears are arguably the most iconic and versatile new wave band

They have so many hits that are relevant today in pop culture ( movie trailer, sound tracks, etc). In my opinion they have only a few songs that are typical new waves sounds, the rest is pop rock. That’s also what makes them so iconic. They have some great songs that not only spanned different genres and a number of decades but they used a lot of unique instruments(use of the saxophone in the working hour for example).

This Reeves criticism is not reasonable

Reeves has always been a 3rd option or a 2a option at best at this team. He’s only had a small sample size of games where he is the first option. He doesn’t do as good in the playoffs because our expectations of him are so high. Guess what? It is perfectly normal for Reeves to have that type of production in what he provided for us in the 23, 24, 25 and this year’s playoffs? Why? Because he is used to differing to two other players. His performances in all these playoffs is normal for the role he plays plus we have to account for the injuries the past 2 years. You want to him to excel? Have him get more reps in that new role. Have him be the clear second option for a full year and play in a playoff series without a significant injury before we criticise him like the way this fan base has criticised him.

It’s often noted that Islam is the second largest religion in the world after Christianity, but being part of a religion requires some level of adherence to it. That’s where I think the Christian population is much smaller than calculated. Studies show that Muslim who are actively practicing are around 1.2 billion compared to Christian’s who are at 720 million. Clearly when counting population totals, there is overestimation of both faiths although islam is practiced at a much higher rate. This speaks to how huge portion of both faiths and other faiths live their lives. They can do everything against what is told to do in the religion in their whole life and they still get a pass and are counted as a follower of that faith. They get to criticize other religions and people who don’t follow a religion while they are not practicing and/or don’t know much about their own religion. A person who doesent practice their religion shouldn’t be counted as part of it nor should that person have room to criticize other religions or others with no religion. It’s like claiming you’re part of a strict weight loss diet program and critiquing other diets while you don’t follow that diet to begin with.
