16+ ? you people misunderstand SOAD
Look, this stuff is sending a good message. Just look at Serj Tankian helping out with Stopping the Killing in Darfur and recognizing the Armenian Genocide. All the swearing has no meaning unless you adults GIVE IT MEANING! Kids can give it a possitive meaning. It is bad if you say F*** YOU ALL!. But it is not if you say SAVE THE F***ING EARTH, GO GREEN!!!. It is all about perception. I'm only 13 and i understand that. It's not about what you say, its about what others hear. I think kids can hear a good message from this. (also these songs can be really funny)

Good mesege
There is nothing wrong with the messege. In all honesty words like f**k dont mean any thing. The only reason why they do is because you let it mean something. I think that if the language is being used to give a messege its ok.
