Help! please (electric guitar related)
Haha, from the Beatles to Dragonforce? Ahh dude that cracked me up. :D The reccomendation to go with a starter pack is a safe bet to start out with I'd say. I started out with a $600 ish combo which could have been costly if I didn't keep playing. 4 or so years later and I have an Ibanez s-470 and Line 6 spider. If you get into it you'll never look back and get a huge sense of satisfaction out of it. At least that's what I've found. Best of luck with it. :)

I will not live in _______ because of _______
No, it's not an opinion. It's more of a perception. Opinion is perceptive. I didn't read furthur up, but did you really base your opinion of a place from a cartoon?

Question
Thanks for your support and feedback guys. Mods can lock this now. My conclusion would be that I haden't had a decent breakfast when it happened and there was possibly a phycological aspect to it as well as, even though it wasn't that much, I can't remember bleeding that much in a long time. I think Bubsa hit it on the head a bit there, it was a tiny cut, and bled like 10 times more than I thought it would (in response to your questions, the room temp was a little above average because I had just showered [could have contributed, not sure], I hadn't eaten yet and have no current illnesses). Be careful with razorblades kids!! :lol: :P I definately will be taking more care in the future.

Pet Peeves?
People who discriminate others, because they think or are different from them. To fit along with that, people who generalize other groups into gross inaccurate stereotypes. How am I discriminating exactly? I didn't say that this camp was bad(although I think it is), I just said how these kids are being brainwashed. Those kids no longer have any freedom of thought. Christian ideas are being rammed down their throats and they are too young to make an accurate decision on whether they believe in it or not. I put that because the parents of those children forced them to go to that camp. Those children think it's right to believe in that because their parents said so, not because they actually made an educated decision. This has always been a pet peeve of mine as well to be honest. They are obviously being forced to believe. The line 'we are god's army' or something to that affect just makes me sad and sickened, especially when a kid that young sais it. The people who do this to kids are evil, no matter what the religion.

So, they think they found Jesus' tomb...
Really? How exactly can something become 'closer' to being the truth? Does truthfulness ferment and become stronger over time? Anyway, based on that theory, the bible has been unaltered for thousands of years, a lot longer than the theory of evolution, so does it therefore make it more truthful than evolution? It doesn't really hold. Also, I am a Christian, but I beleive science can prove what it wants. And when something is completely proven to be true, then I will accept it as absolute truth, alongside the Bible. I will not hail a lack of remains in the 'Jesus' tomb as evidence for the bible, and neither will I dismiss it a coincidence if remains are found, especially if there are what I like to call 'crucifixion marks' in the hands and feet, because either way, it neither proves nor disproves anything. Also, about this evolution arguement, some parts of the bible were meant to be allegories, especially the chapter of genesis. The earth is millions of years old, evolution is probably true, but it doesn't affect the Bible as an allegory, and I was quite surprised when some people took it as literal truth. Evil came into this earth, and this was because of mankind, the basis is still the same, but the whole thing is impossible to describe in literate terms so it has to be written as an allegory. Also, I never read in the Bible that the earth is actually only a few thousand years old. Can someone quote me to this? I probably didn't word that perfectly. Let's call it scientific weight instead of being 'more truthful.' Truth does not change, but each day the theory is strengthened, it gains more weight and is thought to be one step closer to being what 'truth' is, according to science. As for the bible having scientific weight, sure, parts of it which are consistant with science can, yet much of it is (in my opinion) not supposed to be scientifically based (rather metaphorical) and is not supposed to carry scientific weight. I'd bet that god didn't make it to be a scientific journal. See what I'm saing? In reference to you not picking up on the bible suggesting that the earth was created 6000 years ago, good, keep it that way because not only is it bad science, I believe it is just missing the point of genesis entirely.

Genetic applications in the near future?
But why spend your whole life learning for nothing? You're going to die eventually. And all that you learned will vanish in a split second. It isn't for nothing, it contributes to the collective unconcious of humanity.

The Sig Rating Game
Ever played the video game Doom 2? It's pretty vintage (1994) and my sig is a picture of the 'icon of sin' which is the biggest baddest demon in the game. It resembles a goat-like or baphomet head. you were supposed to rate mine My bad. 7/10 looks cool.

So, they think they found Jesus' tomb...
I don't know about the nails through the feet, but during crucifixion, nails would generally go between the two bones in your arm near where they join to your hand at your wrist. Through your palm and it would just rip free after time. Hm... warri0r45... "Expert on How to Torture People". I like the sound of that. The Romans were decent at it, but the Japanese and Chinese do the job much better :-k . :twisted: :P

Did you eat today? - Does iced coffee count? That could be it. #-o Sleep last night? - Yes. Drink enough clear liquids? - Yes. Drink too much alcoholic liquids? - Haven't had a drink since last week. Did strenous excesize? - No. Have a history of fainting? - No. Have low/high blood pressure? - Average. Have low/high blood sugar? Average. And I cut my hand because I'm a clutz. :P :oops:

Question
Hmm, I thought so. I suppose (from my education level) I could say that blood was concentrating around the cut to get a sufficient immune response to pathogens entering my bloodstream and the lack of blood around my brain caused me to faint, which, I suppose, is a mechanim to get you horizontal on the floor so more blood can flood towards your brain.

Question
I will, I'm just putting it out there for anyone who may know. I don't consider everyone on here an uneducated 12 year old you know (and just for clarity I'm not implying you are with this comment either). Thanks for the suggestion anyway, I will check a med website.

Question
Mods can lock this after I get an answer. No more than 10 mins ago, I was shaving (my face, just incase you were thinking otherwise) and I accidentally cut my hand with the razor. #-o The cut didn't look to bad but it bled more than any scratch I have ever had. I ended up semi-fainting and sitting on the bathroom floor thinking to myself to breathe deeply and try not to stand up too quickly. Considering I lost no more than a shot glass of blood (I'd say no more than 20 ml actually [a shot glass is 30]) I was surprised that I actually half-fainted. After I got up, I used disinfectant and a bandaid. The question is this: Generally, how much blood do you have to lose to faint?

The Swiss Invades Neighboring Country - Then Retreats
Isn't East Timor a sovereign country too? And I just remembered that country existed, my globes and atlases are seriously out of date (I got one that's 1965) From memory, East Timor is the newest country in the world (1999) and therefore wouldn't be in your 1965 atlas.

So, they think they found Jesus' tomb...
Sometimes incorrect and sometimes correct? Of course, but it will never always remain incorrect. Here's some food for thought: each day that evolutionary theory goes unaltered, it becomes closer to being absolute truth (according to science). The situation is this: as you believe that the bible is the source of truth and subsequently have no need for science, I can't argue with you regarding science. I'm pretty sure you will not waver in the slightest from your belief. There's nothing wrong with that, but just realise that just because you believe it's the truth dosent mean that it is.

I assume, science textbooks are your source of knowledge and you didn't have to lift a finger to attain that knowledge, thus your knowledge is based on your faith. The writers in the bible, all the key people in the New Testament gave their lives for their believes, preaching and work. Your sense of knowledge makes the fatal assumption that humans were somehow evolved from a micro cell over hundreds of millions of years I assume? Firstly, you are wrong. I have done numerous experimentation for myself and came to my own conclusions. Science has nothing to do with faith, as I have said numerous times before. All the writers of the bible gave thier lives for a belief. There's a huge difference between a belief and a logical deducement of the natural world. Lastly, I said nothing about evolution, but you brought it up why? It has nothing to do with the basis of how I and other scientifically minded people attain thier knowlege. And by the way, it's overwhelmingly accepted by the scientific community. The only doubters are people such as yourself who have thier idea of truth set in stone from thier mothers and fathers. My views of truth and the source of knowlege are accountable. They can change. Yours can not. And @ Korskin, let me get this clear. You believe that the bible is the truth and contains only literal fact, correct? Also, becuase the bible entails the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you have no need to listen to any science whatsoever, correct? I take the words of the Bible as facts. However, I need to know the context and have the right interpretation of what God is saying. How about the second point?
