Mainstream
I can't stand the stations in the Twin Cities so it's NPR for me all the time. You learn a lot of things when you listen to NPR and their weekend shows are hilarious.

The 75 Albums Every Man Should Own (w/PICS)
Yeah it seemed like they picked a lot of artists that were popular and obscure, but yet picked all obscure albums. I was pissed they picked Animals for the token Pink Floyd album. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, but there are at least 4 others that are better.

Do you considered yourself sheltered?
I wasn't sheltered at all, but I was controlled. My parents didn't care if I went out to drink with friends in high school as long as I told them where I was going and who I was with and it was always the same people, so they knew they could trust us to be responsible. They were both partiers as kids, and they had to hide it from their parents which created bad relationships with them. I think they didn't want that to happen to my sister and I. My parents know pretty much everything about me, but I tell them it because there is a mutual respect and I think that's the way the relationship should be. Parents that shelter their kids are not doing the right thing. At some point, kids need to make decisions for themselves and coddling them along isn't going to help them transition into adults.

BGS or DFS
I'll be using it for Slayer (Lvl 91). Which should I buy, or should I save more for a higher GS?

College. Jagerbombs, parties, all that.
Only one rule for College. I insist that you take your shoes off before you pass out. Otherwise, you are fair game.

There are definitely times when I laugh uncontrollably. It involves illegal things, though.

Haha I thought Frank was Jack's Dad for a second.

Warped tour 2009
Black Tide is a pretty good band especially for being as young as they are. I saw them last summer on Rockstar Mayhem. The only other good band is Streetlight, but I've seen them a few times, so none of this is even worth going for free.

LOST
Was I the only one that laughed really hard when Ben was making snide remarks about being able to read and buying a ticket to get on the plane? I don't think I've seen him as sarcastic as that in awhile.

Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
Haha "regulars" and he has what, 394 posts?

You're obviously too narrow-minded to understand any abstract concepts offered by either of those courses, either that or you just didn't pay attention.

EDIT: Maybe not, but there was nothing in the Constitution that said that we could. Slavery was never mentioned in the constitution as being justified. (We did have a clause about stealing land from the Indians, though. I think it's the same thing...they were a war-time state, so we stole their [cabbage]. That's life, mate.) My advice to you is take a History class, followed by a Political Science class. I think your local community college could even offer it.

Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
Alright, way to argue semantics on me. The Supreme Court, 9 citizens, did not apologize. The point is, it was WRONG that's why our own President apologized and gave reparations. It was an overreaction and in the end, was not justified. Did the Supreme Court ever apologize for slavery? Segregation? Stealing land from Native Americans? Those things must be justified as well, right?
-
Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
Yeah, so you're telling me that 78% of the country must be Democrats, Liberals, or uneducated morons that stare at the television all day. Hmm. The same people that can elect the President aren't taken seriously when they judge him? It's not a "Bush-Bashing Trend". The guy was a horrible President. End of story.

You just keep making a bigger fool out of yourself. http://www.democracynow.org/1999/2/18/w ... _internees Thousands of Japanese-Americans under no suspicion other than that they were Japanese compared to "a couple hundred" suspected terrorists.

Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
Bush was the worst public speaker I have ever witnessed, he got us into at least one unjustified war in Iraq (possibly two if you want to believe the 9/11 conspiracies, but for the sake of sanity, Afghanistan was justified), increased governmental spending, sent our country into trillions of dollars worth of debt, and the list goes on. What exactly did he "Get Done"?, because when only 22% of the American public believes you're doing a good job, you know something is wrong.
-
Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
Both after 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor this became completely justified and legal. There were no civil liberties to them. Not even the UN's list of Human Rights retain habeas corpus. Public safety? Invasion? Yeah our base 2,390 miles away in Hawaii gets bombed, the Japanese are still over 3,000 miles away from the mainland, yet American citizens are rounded up like animals and put into internment camps under no reasons other than their nationality. Did we go ahead and round up every Muslim or Middle Eastern person in America after 9/11? No, because it's inhumane and un-American to say that every Middle Eastern or Muslim citizen in America represents a terrorist's viewpoint, just as it was to claim that Japanese-American citizens were spies and wanted to take down America. EDIT: And to War_Junky_91, I agree with you, but raven_guard is still insisting that it was justified. That's what I'm trying to prove.

Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
In 15 years we'll see how Bush basically ruled the country by Executive Fiat. A President doesn't need Congress to pass an Executive order. He isn't helpless to the powers of Congress like you portray him, or any other President for that matter. Just wait awhile for it all to come spilling out.

Well whoa darn! Obama has failed - already?
For the first time in a very long time, I am COMPLETELY speechless. Did you read the rest of it? I like it just as much as you do, but it was something that had to be done. I don't need to read the rest of it. The rounding up of Japanese-American CITIZENS by the United States Government was completely a violation of their civil liberties. It was one of the most racist things our government has done since the days of slavery. As George Carlin said, "Rights aren't rights if they can be taken away. The only right they had was ...Right this way! Into the internment camp."
