Have you seen the price? That's blatent extortion.

:lol: Yeah I get the asian part of your case.. My case is a bit different as my father is from southern europe, more precisely ex. yugoslavia, and I sure got my share of the "wake up lazy ***** when I was your age I biked 7 miles every morning to buy bread and attend school at 6.am and feed the dog and swim across the lake and take out the rubbish of the entire neighbourhood and god knows what else" Sure I respect that, knowing he didn't come from an exactly wealthy family, but makes me wonder if there's some exaggeration in there :-$ Yeah, I think you're right. According to my mum she walked 5 miles to school when she was like, 7, then walked 5 miles back for lunch, 5 miles back to school, then 5 miles back home again. I'm doubtful :P

Requiem For A Tower - Clint Mansell Utterly, utterly haunting.

That's enough to make me buy Kanye's album, twice.

Bah, I remember that song being stuck in my head as I walked down a road in the pouring rain. Consequently, I hate that song.

Yeah I got that, my sister incessently teases me so I give as good as I get now, and I've now developed a really fierce dinnertable attitude sometimes with my parents.

Incredibly powerful voice. One of my favourite vocal performances ever has to be 'So Real' by Jeff. It's got this desperation thats beautifully hanting, as you discribe. I could say something awfully gay right now, but I just appreciate what he did for music so much. Now into So Real - Jeff Buckley. Couldn't agree more. Now listening to Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley I still think the lyrics of this song are the ones that cut so incredibly close to the bone with me.

Been there, done that, got the thread. Locked.

I'm starting sixth form at my school early September, I don't know when but probably about the 4th. For the first time in my life i'm actually looking forward to going back to school. I know I won't be saying that when I have to get up at 6:45 again every morning but i'm looking forward to the extra challenge from A-levels and doing the subjects i'm genuinely interested in.

I have a total weakness for eyes.

Agreed, but if I had to solely identify with a single genre, it would probably be the blues.

Vancouver - Jeff Buckley Still to my mind the most powerful and hauntingly beautiful male voice out there, he died too young.

The Good Shepherd I'd say as acting roles go, Matt Damon had a fairly easy one to play here, with an almost completely emotionless, expressionless and quiet guy. Great film about the birth of the CIA with a cunning intertwining plot. Dragged a bit in places, but otherwise very powerful.

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are two of my favourite bands, evar. Other than that, I have a lot of classic rock in my library as well as a lot of other stuff. It's great, I love a lot of it, there's a lot of fun to be had listening to the swaggering rock songs of the 60's and 70's Interestingly, my "heaviness" tolerance level is definitely changing. This thread got me thinking about how a year or two ago i'd think The Who was heavy for me, and most of Led Zeppelin's stuff but now they're just lightish rock (although Zeppelin's stuff is definitely more bluesy).

I was going to say something similar really, i've been reading up a bit on anarchism recently and i've found the views and ideas fascinating and the beliefs actually very close to my own. But your original post has little relevance to anarchism. I agree, in America the freedom of speech does seem to be declining, and it is something that should be defended, but what does that have to do with you being an anarchist? I can't see where that fits in.

Hey, Johnny Park! - Foo Fighters

Damn, where were you during all my French courseworks/essays? :P Anyway, have a look at this, i'd be interested to see if you can spot any mistakes.

Interesting post trapical, i'd absolutely love to see one of those 100% electrical synapse people in some kind of martial arts fight. Is there any research being done (if it's even feasible) into artificially modifying the ratios of chemical to electric synapses/nerves? I remember all that synaptic and nervous system stuff from GCSE biology, but I had no idea there were different ratios, fascinating stuff :) thats a great statement, but a very arrogant one indeed. what if theirs a race of an extra-terrestrial being with a far more advance brain than ours? wouldnt be surprised Doubt it. what more is there to a brain? We are complicated not for our thinking capacity and logical stuff, but the functioning of our brains. I think not just human, but all brains are the most complicated things ever. Yeah I agree, the human brain has to be one of the most complex arrangements of particles anywhere in the Universe. There might be a more complicated something out there, but it's unlikely to have a more complex arrangement of particles.

Okay, now can we have sex?

Diamond In Your Mind - Tom Waits Such a unique voice.

The Joshua Tree is by far and away their best album in my opinion. It's a genuine classic.

Yeah it is, good spot :)

It's because you're confusing definitions and generalising opinions, you have to accept that there are Christians with varying degrees of faith, some are abolsutely convinced that there is a God, some are fairly sure but might change their minds if questioned. Why don't I call myself an agnostic? Because even though you cannot conclusively disprove why Zeus, or Thor or the toothfairy doesn't exist, that doesn't mean you should call yourself an agnostic about them. When no evidence is provided for the existence of something you should assume a position of skepticality but not total close mindedness. I'm not closeminded, and I think you'll find very few atheists are. If theists were able to come up with some genuinely convincing proof as to why God exists I would change my mind (I cannot speak for my co-thinkers) I'm open minded to the possibility, but you haven't so that's why I call myself an atheist. You, as a Christian are an atheist about 99% of the gods that have ever been dreamt up in the history of mankind, we just go one further (to steal a line). I fail to see the problem, especially since I wouldn't call all Christians or religious people close minded, on the contrary, I just believe they're opening their mind to the wrong kind of input.

Indeed.
