Nissan Skyline GTR Who else loves this car talk bout it here
I wouldn't do that. Basically tuning a cheap car to look like a better one just makes it look stupid, not cool. If I was you, I'd rather save 10 years to buy it than tune a cheaper one look a bit like that.

*~Any Metallica Freaks Out There?~*
I never said a word of Kirk, yes he's doing fine, being still one of the best solo guitarists :P Shame that Metallica didn't use his skills on St Anger, pretty hard for me to believe that they seriously did an album with no solos. Totally different to Kill 'Em All, that album was full of great solos. For me, S&M was just another way to get money. Symphony orchesta made sure that people came to those gigs and people pretty much have to buy the cd as the old songs got new cover. I've heard many better live cd's than S&M and if I could decide now, I would rather have dled that album than paid full price at my nearby store. Garage inc. was good, but somehow I can't see it as a Metallica album. After all it's full of covers and songs they didn't make themselves. Black album was for me the album that turned a metal band into a commercial band. It's far too "soft", slow and has no anger. I have a feeling that it was made just because the big markets needed some softer rock albums. As an album it's ok, but these out-musical things kinda bother me. Metallica's still kicking butts on stage, tho. Hetfield sure knows how to talk with the audience, most of their older songs are killers when played live and their musical skills haven't gone anywhere. Shame that there's some pop fans at the audience who are there to cause problems, not because of Metallica and their music.

{MFAI}WELCOME! Learn and ask your questions about Islam here
Don't know if you already answered to these (didn't bother reading whole fight about the bible and your belief :P), if you have then just don't answer :P 1. You said that it's wrong for women not to wear the hijab. Just a week or 2 ago read an article written by a muslim woman saying that it isn't needed to wear it. She said something that there's no parts in Coran or Sharia that forces women to wear them. Why's this? Is it right or wrong not to wear it and what does the Coran say? 2. Family seems to be important in Islam. Can it somehow be seen in daily life? What does the Coran or Sharia say about family relations? 3. The last questions and these are a bit more personal ones. Turkey is trying to get to EU. What's your personal thoughts on that? Do you see it as a right thing or as a bad mistake? What about the Israeli's situation? Jews are threating muslims really badly there, not to mention that they first stole our soil.

If your life had a soundtrack...
Enochian Crescent - VÃÆÃâÃâäkisinkastettu This describes pretty much of my attitude towards the church. Finland (and I along it) was baptised with swords and without our own will. VÃÆÃâÃâäkisinkastettu means a person, who was baptised without his own will. I don't know if there's a proper english translation for it. Paysage D'hiver - Schnee In english schnee means snow. This song is pretty long (over 16minutes) and it's pretty "raw", some may describe it to be ugly, but still it's so beautiful. I'm a winter person, for me winter is the best season. Nature is so beautiful then. This song is also a bit like my (political) thoughts: at first they may seem radical and cruel, but if you can see them from "a bigger view", you should find their beauty. Bathory - Ring of Gold Weird song if you ask me. It's totally different to Bathory's earlier stuff. Bathory has made many great albums, but this song from Nordland I album somehow is a song I remember. I don't usually listen to songs with only an acoutic guitar and clear vocals, but now I do. It somehow reminds me of my calm side. Like Bathory, I have my harder and softer sides. This is the softer. The lyrics remind me of nordic nature. Gorgoroth - (Under) the pagan megalith If ring of gold was my softer side, then this is my harder side. It can be brutal, violent and strong. Like this song, I can sometimes (or usually, whatever you want :P ) be hard to understand. Graveland - The pagan and heretic's blood Again reminds me of the way how church christianized original populations with blood and sword. Somehow shows how Christianity is a religion that teaches other things than does. Basically they say that everyone's worth as much, yet they made us (or eastern Europe's population, Graveland is from Poland) Christians with violence. Not in any order or anything and I'm still lacking a good intro and outro songs.

*~Any Metallica Freaks Out There?~*
For me, Metallica died with Cliff. Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets were real masterpieces. After it they've gone to wrong direction. ...And Justice for All was ok, not too great but not a disappointment eiter. Black album (Metallica) was a total disaster for me. Ok, it isn't a bad album, but it isn't the Metallica I wanted to hear. Load, Reload and St. Anger were total crap, not even worth mentioning. S&M was ok, but kinda reminds me of a ripoff, just made to get some dollars. Carage inc is the best (or least bad) album from them after MoP, but it doesn't really count as they are just covering other bands. Personally I see Metallica as a band that perfectly shows what metal is today. First it was hard underground (not in the same meaning as it's in nowadays) with anger, now it's commercial pop made to earn big money. My heart cried blood tears when I saw Metallica touring with Slipknot one or two years ago. An old metal legend touring with a band that's nothing but commercial pop group. It's a shame that Newsted left Metallica. I liked more Burton's style, but Jason had some real Metallica spirit left. Mad headbanging at live gigs showed that he still has guts to be something.

jagex put capentry and player houses in but only in rs3!
C) Jagex hasn't even confirmed rs3 yet B) Why would they lag in rs2 more than in rs3? Don't think they gonna design a game engine that's modified just for those skills. C) If you didn't try to put it all in once sentence, it would be a lot easier to read. I had to read that 4 times and I'm still not 100% sure what did you try to say.

Jagex Running Out of Names?!
True that, I didn't know wether to cry or laugh when I heart they made some weak&useless spear and named it after Thor's hammer.

Jagex Running Out of Names?!
Umm.. I just see it like Jagex wants to get some "touch" to the names. Toktz-Ket-Xil sounds like a name that actually could be used by some primitive tribe living near a volcano or so. And those mjolnirs actually are based on "real" weapons. In scandinavian/ german mythology Thor had his Mj̮̦̉̉lnir and he used it to make lightnings.

Lesser Known Bands
UG bands don't: * Don't sell ~20 different shirts + skihats * Don't have that big tours (look at their website, big tour starting :o ) * Don't appear on 9 different DVD's released by Nuclear Blast. * We can't read about them from Finnish dailymagazines. Don't take me wrong, I'm not against them :P Just makes me wonder what's UG and what's mainstream if In Flames in UG. I mean at the current metal world they are one of the most mainstream bands :P

Strangest Film
My vote totally goes for this one. Weird movie in a good way. Don't just read the plot, it doesn't sound good. One of my favourite movies. For some reason I didn't like Requiem for a dream, tho. People have said it's good, but I didn't like it. It isn't bad, tho.

Lesser Known Bands
Looked at my hd and cd collection. These bands all play black or pagan metal and you can't really call them mainstream. Volkurah: Surprisingly melodical (Dimmu Burger fans don't bother - It isn't what you're looking for if you are after melody) and pretty brutal vocals. Cd's or Lp's are really hard to find anywhere (even eBay) and you can't find them from many p2p hubs. Anyways if you're into bm (no commercial bs or anything), this band is really worth it. Bestia: Estonian band and they actually sing in estonian. Estonian is a pretty ok language for bm. Check their website if you're interested, there's few full songs in mp3 form. http://www.metal.ee/bestia/ Bilskirnir: Pretty melodical (again, if you're looking for a Dimmu Burger copy, don't bother) and angry stuff. Somehow seems to be addicting. Easier to find their cd's or lp's as Volkuras', but don't bother looking at your near by Free Record Shop or whatever.

Is there evil?
First you should think what is good and what's evil. Personally I don't think they exist. There are things that are against your moral sense or law, but that doesn't make them evil or good. Look at killing for example. There are different "kill", a brutal murder, selfdefence or war. I wouldn't have a problem to do anything to defend myself, it's either kill or be killed. Basically it depends on your culture what is wrong and what is right. In some cultures, killing isn't/wasn't as bad as it's in our western culture. Look at many primitive cultures with their human sacrifications. In their culture it was ok to kill for god(s), in our culture it is forbitten.

Lesser Known Bands
Urn: http://www.mikseri.net/artists/?id=36115 This band has real attitude and they aren't that bad. From that site you can download legal copies of their works. I'd try at least the following songs: burn in hell, 666 megatons, eathly damnation and rise of necromancy. Ildjarn: Some of you may argue about this, but I bet 99% of you haven't even heard of them. Ugly and rough black metal, no commercial posing. Paysage D'hiver: Really beautiful stuff.

How fast can you beat Solitare?
The trick is to memorise your cards. I just take a quick look at my cards and try to remember them. This way I don't need to check them every time a new card comes. Of course you are going to make a lot of mistakes, but when you get good cards and don't do a lot of mistakes, the score is awesome.

What is music? What is good music?
Personally I think that the music played on radio is the worst music after that played on MTV. Usually the music is made for record companies and to earn money. I believe that this is the wrong way, after all music should be made to express yourself and your feelings. I don't really care what do the others think about my music taste. I don't run after trends, I follow my inner voice. It's good music when I like it, not when someone else likes it.

What is music? What is good music?
Personally I see that good music is: 1) It somehow "touches" the listener. It makes the listener to think or gives him emotional things. 2) It is something real. It is exactly made how the artist/band wants, not how the fans(=customers) or how the music company wants. Because of these principles (of mine), my music taste is pretty "weird". I listen almost to no mainstream bands (only Iron Maiden and old Metallica), my cd collection countains mainly underground or less-known bands.

Land Sales Would Save the Runescape Economy
Would you like to see RS being like Ultima online is/was? There was a limited amount of land and quick those lands became served. At least 1̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâý years ago people were buying and selling them for sick amounts of real money.

Remembrance Day - A Tribute to Those Who Died
From my father's side, at least 8 soldiers died at WW2. That only counts those who have the same last name (my last name isn't common in Finland, I've done a bit research and so far everyone with a same last name have been somehow related to me.), so the number goes up quite a lot if add those who have a different last name. I haven't done any research from my mother's side, but I know that at least my grandma's dad died there at the age of 22 and his older brother died too. All of my grandparents experienced the war. From my mother's side, I have no idea what my grandfather did (he died 2 months after I was born) but he was born in 1938 or 1937. My grandmother was sent to Sweden because she was ~9 when the war started. From my father's side, my grandmother worked at Lotta SvÃÆÃâÃâärd (google for more info if you are interested) and my grandfather was a civil. If the war had lasted 8 months longer, my grandfather would have been forced to join the army.
