As I'm wokring my way backwards through the different genres of Rock & Roll, I'm beginning to realize that Rock has got progressively worse since the 80's. This isn't to say that there isn't good rock out there. It's just that, on the whole, it's getting worse. Even going back 20 years, Rock then is far superior to rock now. I mean, comparing Iron Maiden to say, Nirvana is highly unfair because those are two different genres of Rock. But, I can still compare the two because they both fall under the jurisdiction of "Rock". Having said that, Iron Maiden blows almost every one of our present-day Rock bands out of the fucking water.

Keep in mind that I'm not an expert on Rock. I just know what sounds good to me. And this new shit they are trying to pawn off as "Rock" music these days does not sound good at all. Maybe it's not fair to use Iron Maiden as my standard, but when I compare their music to the shit that they are playing on the radio now, I'm forced to ask myself, "What the fuck is an Emo? What the fuck is a Staind? And who the fuck is Nickelback?"

There is such a gap in quality between the 80's and 90's. Apparently, "Emo" is an off-shoot of Punk which is a sub-genre of Rock, but I haven't made my way back to serious Punk music yet and from what I've heard of "Punk", I don't like it. Alternative is a sub-genre of Rock and I've heard most of what came out of the 90's. But as far as Alernative goes, how is Nirvana superior to 80's Depeche Mode?

The 80's gave us Metal in the form of Iron Maiden and Alternative in the form of Depeche Mode. The 90's gave us Metal/Alternative in the form of Alice in Chains and Alternative in the form of Nirvana, A Perfect Circle, and NIN (they stole so much from Depeche and Depeche stole so much from them it ain't even funny). And now we have Metal in the form of Papa Roach and Alternative in the form of FUCKING EMO?!?!?!

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ROCK MUSIC IN AMERICA???


Also, WTF? Did Serp get banned?

One could make the argument that music, in general, is getting worse nowadays, though. I might even make that argument, if not for a bunch of new songs (admittedly, mostly from old artists) that I really like.

I do think, however, that the same opinion has been declared time and time again, since music is a dynamic medium that changes noticeably as years upon years of subtle changes add up. Look at how well rap and techno were received when they first got off the ground. Even today, where rap seems ubiquitous (too much so for my tastes, since I prefer soft rock and classical), there are lots of people who vehemently refuse to accept rap as a credible genre of music.

We can further extrapolate this argument to the world of art, in general, as modern artists rarely receive the appreciation of their predecessors, due to their "radical" works. Today, people like Piet Mondrian and Andy Warhol are accepted as credible, respected artists, but I highly doubt that such was the case during their respective peaks. But that's just how the art world works; innovation and creativity move faster than acceptance and even tolerance.

As for Serp, I don't know. It's possible, since he said some pretty mean-spirited shit in another thread, but I wasn't around for the heat of that.

Million, Wind totally beats Water.

Most everything you listed as an advantage for water, you can do with wind too. You can trap someone in a wind tunnel, then just have heavy winds slam into him from all directions to crush him, or suffocate him. Or you could expand the air in his lungs and explode him from the inside. With heavy enough winds, you could level a city as well. If you could fire off short, pointed bursts of wind you could essentially have wind bullets.

Water's drawback is that, theoretically, if you got caught in the desert wouldn't that be a huge disadvantage? Or a burning building of some sort...where the water would evaporate before you could utilize it. But you could utilize wind no matter where you were. And then there's the flying, which would be mad fun.

**I've always wondered if you could fight Magneto in the middle of a forest or something, wouldn't this nerf him? I suppose he could always just use the iron in your body or something, but barring that unless he brought along some coins or some nails or something he'd be screwed.

AIR is everywhere, not wind. If you can't create water (or fire or earth for that matter) then you can't create wind either making it even MORE useless than water. There's water everywhere. If wind exists (meaning there's atmosphere) there's also water. it's not like there's no water in the desert, you just have to know how to find it and the power would allow you to do so. You can't build a nything out of wind. Water gives you the option of creating semi-permanent solids. You can freeze someone and walk away, where as you'd have to concentrate and constantly assault them to trap them with wind. Water can even exist where wind can't.

It depends on the degree of control. If you could control air, that would be broken as fuck.

If you could create gale force winds that could destroy a city, then you could also stop a man in his tracks by just creating enough wind pressure all around him to ensure he can't move. It wouldn't be as convienent as freezing, but it would still get the job done, and it wouldn't have the drawbacks that freezing would. Suppose you just wanted to stop someone, not kill them?

Given enough control of the wind, it would start to resemble telekinesis. By using controlled burts of wind, you could move objects. Aside from fighting, this would be highly useful. I'm sitting down and my TV remote is across the room...no problem, just float it on over to me. You could probably even take out the trash without ever lifting a finger.

If you have have precision control of your power (and it seems like that's the case) you've got more possibilities with wind.

No, it just seems that way. Everything you've mentioned can be replicated with water.

Stuff about Rock

Rock is an interesting subject for me.

For those who don't know, I'm white. Middle class white males are typified as liking rock. It's something that we're supposed to listen to, if the stereotypes are to be believed.

My father loved KISS. He loved everything about 70's and 80's rock, and since my father is one of the greatest and coolest men to ever live (gotta respect the pops) I too was drawn into rock. I was ready to love rock and all its little bastard offshoots from the beginning, because rock rocked.

...or so I thought. Why didn't this music appeal to me? 'Classic' rock gets old quick without any new material, and all modern rock was angst. I mean, it's one thing to be angsty and listen to angsty music. It's another thing to think to not be angsty but think you're supposed to listen to angsty music.

Needless to say I moved on to other genres, and while there are still a few groups and subgenres I appreciate, I have by and large forsaken rock as a middle-aged slob with no purpose or drive any more, a mere shadow of its once promising and young self.

Kurt Cobain is by and large the focal point of this constant stream of angst. If only Kurt hadn't killed himself/been killed/exploded into gobs of bloody meat. By kicking the bucket at such a high point of popularity, fame, and acceptance, he essentially solidified his image forever as a martyr. 'Cobain was shotgunified for your angst, and it is only through the blood of his shotgun wounds that we can be made forever empty, grungey, and musically inclined. Let us pray.'

Maybe if he'd lived longer and gone on to do what all musicians do, that being to slowly either make music that is less appealing to the general public, stop making music, or just keep recording the same crap over and over again until people got fed up with it, maybe the entire genre wouldn't be locked in the idiot cycle it is today.

Whatever, long live Hip Hop and Power Metal.

I really don't get all the Cobain worship. I'm not saying Nirvana was a piece of shit, but they weren't one of the greatest bands ever. It has to be because Kurt killed himself, and he was cute and strange. Soundgarden > Nirvana.

The music scene is different these days. It seems to me due to the internet (and before that I have no idea) bands can make money without signing to majors, they just have to be talented, willing to work and in general like each other. Bands can make money without any radioplay at all (and to get a lot of radio play you need money to bribe the djs, so having a huge powerful record company helps).

It seems to me the giant record companies have just decided to play dirty and make a bunch of money. Sign a shitload of crappy bands for an album or two, flood the market with shit until the public just gets used to crap and then switch music styles to do the same thing over again. Because they feel its not a safe bet to look for talent. But it is a sure bet to flood the market, its probably cheaper and easier.

But I could be wrong.

Nor do I, but many people seem to view him in an almost holy light, hence my use of the satirical prayer bit.

Granted, there are good rock musicians out there, but something I've learned even from indie culture is this: I can't handle indie white kids. It's a culture I don't vibe with. Everyone is either trying to be: trendier, dirtier, or more artistic than everyone else. It's this idea of "I have to be more pretentious and know-it-all than people or I'm not cool" that seems to infest every aspect of the current musical culture. It's all about being nonsensical and passing it off as art, not about being relevant to anything.

Kurbain took the image of white rock at the time (hair metal) and crushed it. He spit in the face of the media (note his first appearance on headbangers ball). He brought music back to the artistry that was lost in the 80's. Now that i look back at Nirvana and what they did for underground music and reinforcing its legitimacy, I realize that his actual music was only half of his impact. Then the way he left the scene once again solidified his place as a true musician. But yeah thats just my take on it. He took the punk attitude and combined it with a more modern and trendy sound. I quit cuz i can go on all day.

I seriously fucked up my relationship because I am so headstrong, that when my significant other basically doesn't contact me at all, I start getting a bit rude, which only makes it worse.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is so 1999.

AIR is everywhere, not wind.Dude, AIR = WIND.

What's wind? Moving air? Well then, I'd hate to break it to you, but air is always moving. Air currents? That's wind. Even if there was a supposed hypothetical (and impossible) situation where you're completely surrounded by non-moving air...then all you need to do is move your arms. That moves the air around you, which moves the air around that air, which moves the air around that air, and etc. Butterfly effect = WIND, WIND, WIND EVERYWHERE!!!

Water vapour is everywhere, but what can you do with it? If you're in the desert, put all the water vapour in a cubic mile of air together, and how much would you get? Like a cup?

Wind and water seem to match-up, but wind beats it out simply because it's more available.

Though it's interesting to note that humans are like more than 80% water.

Also, I remember reading a comic where Magneto just straight up ripped a guy in half with nothing but magnetic fields. The guy can control electromagnetic radiation - which is essentially...like...EVERYTHING (i.e. LIGHT, like when he redirected Dazzler's shots). Not just DC's characters are ridiculously overpowered.

Comic book Magneto owns old man movie Magneto so goddamn hard it doesn't even make sense.

I'm sorry, but to say air is always on the move is just ignorant. What about lazy-air? Not to mention I'm sure that most air can't afford today's gas prices, so they are probably in motion less often.

No, no, and no. Wind exists because air is allowed to move in the same way that current exists because electrons are allowed to move (or water and current for that matter). While the two are inherently related, they are *not* the same.


Water vapour is everywhere, but what can you do with it? If you're in the desert, put all the water vapour in a cubic mile of air together, and how much would you get? Like a cup?

It's more available because you're setting up scenarios that give wind the advantage. The earth is 2/3rds water. the desert is what, 1/8th? 1/16th?

What if they fight underwater?

WHAT IF THEY FIGHT IN SPACE!!! You can take water with you but you can't take air.

"WIND!" and "WATER!" are pretty close, I'll admit. I was actually pondering the question for quite some time before posting that thread...it was really close between the two as to which power I would take. They are easily the best two elements.

Anyway, yeah...I refer to absolute power over these elements. I'd consider also having the option to create your chosen element perhaps out of your self...however ridiculously overpowered that would be...yeah, why not? I mentioned Self-applications for all powers, so that would make sense. Even in areas with such small amounts of water...just change into elemental form(humanoid Liquid creature...or ice-form like Iceman...or water vapor/mist form).

This reminds me; draining any water from the surrounding environment could be used to increase overall size...and thus the "water-user" could end up as a creature similar to Perfect Chaos from Sonic Adventure...or even bigger.
More Water fun:
-float upwards, and create a sudden hailstorm..with the hailstones large enough to destroy whole cities. On a sidenote, I had a dream about the end of the world once...and there was a great hailstorm that was destroying everything. Huge ice-boulders were coming down...then it eventually became hail in the form of Gargoyle statues...

-*possible* Remote Orgasm Trigger Jutsu™ --generate an increase in the moisture of a key area, and that should lead to all kinds of interesting situations.

-Practical Jokes: stimulate moisture in another area, and one could cause some hilarious "Sudden Diarrhea" situations. Or, in absolutely terrible, sadistic (yet still hilarious) taste....one could generate a subtle moisture on some stairs right before the victim approaches those stairs. Have the camera ready, and hit record when they take that first step.

-Gather a huge amount of water, so that eventually you have an ocean in the sky.....and then you can threaten to drop it on the city. Frozen or normal...that's still going to cause a lot of good damage. It would be interesting to maintain the water's form as long as possible, so that the surface tension on the bottomside is even more destructive when it hits the city.

*sidenote---imagine what a water-user could accomplish when working in tandem with a wind user? The possibilities of either one are amazing....together that's just ridiculous...

Assuming control over temperature of the element in question...I'd assume Earth has lava control...eh, I guess. This is one good thing about "Earth!" power....besides the "Golem form". Imagine...direct lava flow out of nowhere around someone...burn them to death with that.

Terra from Teen Titans is probably the best example I've seen of such power...*opinion pending since I have not seen all the Avatar episodes out there yet. I only caught a piece of an episode where he fought this old guy that was an Earth bender..old dude wasn't as impressive to me as Terra. Terra, with Slade's guidance, TORE the Titans a new asshole like it was nothing. They ended up having to run away! Similar to "Water Clone Jutsu", Terra also created "dirt creatures" to help her fight.(*not really her though...Slade did this by manipulating her power) It was tight since the Titans had trouble just fighting off the "dirt creatures".

*I like to use "carpetbagger" as my own slang term for a lesbian. It amuses me at least. I know the historical meaning; I just prefer to switch that up and apply it as a somewhat clever name for lesbos. I even prefer it to the classic: "carpet muncher".

Gamers and internet addicts sure eat a lot of junk food.

I admit I'm guilty of it too whenever I sleep in on my gym days and gorge myself on hot dogs later in the evening. I just had the best tasting chicken sandwich ever though. I made it myself and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty for eating junk that will make fat, clog my arteries, or lead to diabetes when I'm older.

A good bread really makes all the difference.

I bought this fancy bread at the supermarket that you have to carve yourself. "Ciabatta with olive oil". I cut the portion I wanted into two slices and put it in my toaster oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. I had filleted a chicken breast and cooked it on my George Forman grill earlier. I shreaded some iceberg lettuce and put my sandwich together then. Instead of mayo as the usual condiment, I used the southwest chipotle dipping sauce they give out at Wendy's for a spicy kick this time.

It was very good. :lovin:

I'm full, I didn't pig out on hot dogs like I usually do when I'm lazy, and I have energy (carbs from the bread) and fuel (protein from the chicken) for later.

Dude in line ahead of me had a shopping cart FULL of stuff...and there were many others like him, with shopping carts filled with AT LEAST 100 dollars in groceries! Why do people shop like another country has just threatened nuclear warfare, or aliens have invaded, or it's just the end of the world? This isn't The Day After Tomorrow here. Yeah, the roads may be iced over tomorrow...but worst-case scenario is what...a few days to a week of ice roads?! I just don't see that being such a big deal.

You know what would be fucking awesome? If you lost your eye, and you used your empty socket to like STORE THINGS IN.

My friend's brother has one eye, and I haven't seen him in years, but I think his eyelid just drops down, there's no eyepatch, or anything. Might've been sewn shut...

He was young, rolling down this hill, and a stick stabbed him in the eye and it exploded. :wasted:

I hate Christmas music. :bluu: (yeah yeah, scrooge whatever)

EDIT: Hahah, yeah, I used to joke around about hiding stuff in the eye socket.

Oh, and he couldn't move his eyelid, I don't know if it's the same for all of them, though. Something with the eye nerves maybe? I don't know.

I need some new kind of food, or something. My staple meals have been cereal, soup, sandwiches, spaghetti, teriyaki, and uh... not much else, really.

Cereal; I just have when I'm lazy or need food really fast, not too sick of it.

Soup; I'm getting really sick of.

Sandwiches; I'm sick of.

Spaghetti; the only thing my dad really cooks (well some breakfast foods) but it's getting tiresome as well, not that I don't appreciate him cooking it.

Teriyaki; going home for lunch (open campus) got annoying since I barely have any time since I moved further from my school... Not to mention all I can eat in time is cereal or soup. :bluu: Anyway, the point is that I eat out, and I don't eat fast food (I get rather healthy... I've already lost a sufficient amount of weight, but I want to lose a bit more belly fat), and Subway is my substitution for Teriyaki every once in a while, but it's not as much food.

Gaahhhh... I want some fucking pizza right now, but I don't feel like eating a couple thousand calories nor dropping like $20 on food.

I really don't get all the Cobain worship. I'm not saying Nirvana was a piece of shit, but they weren't one of the greatest bands ever. It has to be because Kurt killed himself, and he was cute and strange. Soundgarden > Nirvana.

And brilliant, humble, respectful and noble. All of the qualities you rarely see in celebrities nowadays, or ever. Kurt Cobain did some damn honorable things that no one else ever had or ever since has had the balls to do.

A man standing in front of a crowd of millions and risking losing half of his entire fan base to defend his stance on racism/sexism/and homophobia? Publicly stating that if anyone is in any way predjudiced to not purchase their albums, don't come to their shows, and don't support them in any way and mean it and actually act upon it? Name me one other person besides him who did anything like that and tell me that isn't a fucking awesome thing to do.

Kurt Cobain's songwriting > Chris Cornell's
Kurt Cobain's guitar playing > Kim Thayil's
Dave Grohl's drumming >>> anyone in Soundgarden's
Krist Novoselic's bass playing > anyone in Soundgarden's.
Nirvana's influence on the frigging world >> most other bands.
Kurt Cobain as a human being > *

Soundgarden and Nirvana... they sound nothing alike and are just completely different people. I don't know why the comparison is even there. Read Cobain's writing, read his poems, read his lyrics. He is undeniably brilliant, intellectual and talented. The way he used words was outstanding. He wasn't just cute and strange, GTFO with that bullshit. If you don't like the band you don't like the band. Don't dumb them down like that.

And punk bands aren't really famous. They're also awesome people usually, but they don't have a huge worldwide following and adoration like Nirvana did. People did love Kurt when he was alive too, believe it or not. And for such an influential and popular person to say something like that in front of so many people at the peak of his fame, is really to me revolutionary.

He was in the top 10 of guitar players in this one magazine that listed what they thought of as the top 100 guitarists in the world, which I thought was ridiculous.

anywhere far from a military instillation, i can't really help you with though.

to Ducky: yo man, i think i officially earned a CAB(combat action badge) already. also, i just spent 72 hours on THE most DANGEROUS stretch of road/highway, in Iraq right now. everyone calls the highway Mad Max, like the movies and shit. mad boom sounds pretty often, and IEDs all over the fuckin place.

what's funny though, is that i go down this highway everytime i go outside the wire, which would be about 3-4 times a week. and i just got told it was the most dangerous stretch of road, when we were stuck out there for 3 consectutive days.

at one point, i was in the turret of our humvee for almost 24 hours straight.

What are the work shifts like for the military in Iraq? There aren't 24 hour round the clock patrols are there? What was the longest you've been forced to stay awake so far? You didn't have to shoot anybody while manning the humvee turret did you?

I don't think the enemy is stupid enough to engage US troops with anything other than IEDs, but if you do come under small arms fire while you're manning the turret, do you have any kind of cover or protection while you're up there? There's bullet proof glass and armor for the driver and occupants I'm obviously assuming (are the bottoms of the humvees armored to protect against IEDs also?), but that would suck so bad if it's just a gun, your flak vest, and whatever other personal gear you have. Would have to draw straws or something to pick who had to do the turret job.

I saw the episode of Mail Call where Gunny visits the military broadcasting TV station (I forget the name), aside from "Mail Call" obviously, what other programming is shown on there?

I didn't watch Jarhead, but people told me it's a bunch of guys sitting around all day and jerking off, and it's the gayest shit ever. :rofl: Sucks you have to be out there during the holidays too, so take care and come home soon.

to Ducky: yo man, i think i officially earned a CAB(combat action badge) already. also, i just spent 72 hours on THE most DANGEROUS stretch of road/highway, in Iraq right now. everyone calls the highway Mad Max, like the movies and shit. mad boom sounds pretty often, and IEDs all over the fuckin place.

what's funny though, is that i go down this highway everytime i go outside the wire, which would be about 3-4 times a week. and i just got told it was the most dangerous stretch of road, when we were stuck out there for 3 consectutive days.

at one point, i was in the turret of our humvee for almost 24 hours straight.

son, it's a jungle out here.

Something weird happened in school yesterday. Some guy named Mr. F subbed for my absent english teacher. He was this old guy, he was damn weird, in a brutally honest way. He came in and started saying things like:
"Your teacher said all he classes were good, well, they weren't. And neither will you, i've been teaching in L.A. for many years, i can tell you guys aren't going to behave."
"You guys are still young, you know nothing about the world. The world gets worse every year, because of things like political correctness. Like on christmas cards, they'll say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because of the slight chance someone really senesitive will get offended. This is destroying the world."
"Judging people is important, everyone says because of political correctness, you're not supposed to. But you should judge people, because that's how the world really thinks. Like by looking at you kids and other kids in the school, i can tell most of you don't behave. By looking at a group of people, you can tell who's going to go to jail and steal and who you would be friends with."
"The world is all about making money. When you're all older you'll understand. The gas company doesn't care if you have food or not, as long as you pay them money. Whatever you have to do to make money, work hard, steal, gamble, doesn't matter, as long as you have money, nothing is ever right or wrong."

While this coot did say some actually right things that people wouldn't beleive, he wouldn't listen to anything he said. Like some kids say he's to judgemental, and he says they can't say that because they don't know him. But, this guy just said that he does and you should try to judge people without actually knowing them, so wtf. He even made some girl cry and a bunch of over-protective parents called the school complaining. So yeah, can he do this? I didn't actually mind, the lecture was quite entertaining in a way, and seeing my classmates all in distress was also fun. But should he get fired if he actually does this alot like he claims?

I'm reading the Full Metal Alchemist manga now. It's sooooooo good. (No spoilers!) I'm also trying to watch the anime in tandem, but it seems to be going off in a different direction at times.

I found *ahem* a copy of FF7 for the PC...the graphics aren't as good as I remember, and the sound sucks. I'm perplexed, because my PC was made AFTER this game was developed, so it should be able to run FF7 right. Unless the PC version just sucks in general, or the graphics/sound weren't as good as I remember them...

What are the work shifts like for the military in Iraq? There aren't 24 hour round the clock patrols are there? What was the longest you've been forced to stay awake so far? You didn't have to shoot anybody while manning the humvee turret did you?

The shifts vary for everybody. I can't speak on a whole, cause some people get the EASIEST shifts and the EASIEST time possible while in Iraq. most soldiers in the green zone of Baghdad, it's like a vacation resort in comparison to the depths of Ramadi.

if im not on a mission that day, or the day coming up, i usually just do whatever the fuck i want to and take it easy all day long. for missions though they can range from 1 hour to days and days on end.

yes there are 24 hour+ round the clock patrols. like i said, i was in the turret of our humvee for near 24 straight hours on Mad Max. the longest ive been forced to stay awake so far would be about possibly 30 or so hours at this point. the whole time we were out on mad max we slept in the humvee, and it's not comfortable at all, especially when you hear shots and booms to the left and right at random times.

to the last question, no. i'm happy for that. it's just been IEDs. nearly got blown up on the way IN to where we needed to be on the road.

you wouldnt believe the things that are being done to the innocent iraqi people over here, by the insurgents. i won't speak on it at all, due to security reasons. but believe me when i say that contrary to popular believe over in the states they REALLY DO need our help.

I don't think the enemy is stupid enough to engage US troops with anything other than IEDs, but if you do come under small arms fire while you're manning the turret, do you have any kind of cover or protection while you're up there? There's bullet proof glass and armor for the driver and occupants I'm obviously assuming (are the bottoms of the humvees armored to protect against IEDs also?), but that would suck so bad if it's just a gun, your flak vest, and whatever other personal gear you have. Would have to draw straws or something to pick who had to do the turret job.

yes and yes.
it WOULD fuckin suck to have no protection up in the turret. in some directions it does not protect you from enemy fire. there have been a few soldiers in this area alone who have been sniped from their positions in the up armored turrets of their vehicles.
nope i didnt draw straws, i actually prefer the turret over driving.

I saw the episode of Mail Call where Gunny visits the military broadcasting TV station (I forget the name), aside from "Mail Call" obviously, what other programming is shown on there?

i dont know. i dont watch tv or anything. on downtime we play xbox and watch dvds.

I didn't watch Jarhead, but people told me it's a bunch of guys sitting around all day and jerking off, and it's the gayest shit ever. :rofl: Sucks you have to be out there during the holidays too, so take care and come home soon.

this kid i went to high school with is in iraq...his truck got bombed the night before and he was excited about it...said it was awesome...issues.

more and more army guys arent nuts when they come back.
if his truck blew up and he was all sad for it, then there would be no way he could focus on anything else he had to do. in order to get over most high stress sometimes you have to find humor or what's cool in it. or you will go nuts because the stress level doesnt change.

Being depressed is much much worse than being excited over a cool explosion, dont you agree?

Slide:

How long was your job training for before you got shipped out to the sandbox? You didn't get forced to go right after basic did you?

Racism is an ugly thing. I know absolutely nothing about Arabic culture, Sunnis, Shiites, or whatever but if it's anything like Jews and Palestinians, Japanese and Chinese/Koreans during WWII, Nationalist Chinese and Communist Chinese, and Hutus and Tutsis during the Rwanda abominations, that makes me very sad as a human being.

I read something in the news that one of the Iraqi ethnic groups drove around on the street and random kidnapped a hundred or so men from the other ethnic group and killed of bunch of them. Targeting the Iraqi police collaborating with the Americans too? I know fuck the police and everything (because I fucking hate the police here in the US), but targeting them for death by execution is taking it much too far and the most counter productive and stupid things I've ever heard of. Police are suppose to serve the public right?

There's news coverage of all the car and suicide bombers that have been attacking public places and government buildings as well. I saw a video recently and it was horrible.

-------

What kind of hardware are the insurgents working with btw? And how can they afford to get all those weapons? What's the gun you're working with also? .50 cal heavy? Or something smaller?

I know the AK-47 and the RPK machine gun. Mortars, RPGs, and artillery shells to rig those cowardly IEDs obviously too. You mentioned sniper weapons though? SVD rifle I'm assuming? Or are AK's just as accurate sniper weapons as they are spray like a moron weapons. The guns are from like the 60's is all know. Nothing like the weapons given out by the US, British, or German militaries today (video on the internet of the guy with the Barrett Light .50 making his targets' HEADS BLOW UP. :wasted:). A lot of American soldiers are dieing unfortunately (although the news never keeps a tally of the number of Iraqi insurgents KIA), so those guns still must be effective though.

I'm a gun and military history nut in case anybody is wondering. The only reason I never joined the military myself is because the money is horrible for the stress you have to go through (for the grunts, not the civilians contractors), my eyesight is bad (which I don't want to pay to get fixed yet), and I detest killing of all things too (ironic since I like guns so much).

---------

Also ironic that you and your friends play Xbox (Halo right?) during your downtime to simulate violence and shooting, when you guys already have to deal with the real thing. I know there are random explosions all the time, but my impression is that most US soldiers don't even fire their gun for months on end with the current situation at hand. Still, any kind of gun violence is that last thing I would want to be thinking about on my breaks and days off though. I'd play SF, work out, watch some porn (although I read something about that being contraband :rofl:), or read instead. Xbox and drinking is all I ever hear what soldiers in the Middle East (all guys my around my age) are into though.

----------

Again, stay safe and don't do anything stupid (like forgeting your groin armor). I really don't know whether I support this war or not. It's too late to do anything about that now though and the US needs to take responsibility for it's actions. A job's a job too, so just do what you have to do. I deal cards here at a poker room in southeast CT. You're on the other side of the world manning a humvee turret, in a country full of anti-American psychopaths with guns.

I don't know you personally, but I'm happy to send magazines, dvds, or whatever if you'd like some mail from a contact back home from the US too.

Yu-gi-Oh! GX is fucking superior. I can't believe how much better this version is compared to the old dramatics of the last. It hasn't stopped being funny and the pacing of the story is damn near perfect. It actually feels and looks like anime rather than a shitty novel. Even the inane hour long explanation of card effects in duels have been cut to like three or four short sentences MAX. It's like they stole X-2 battle system. :rofl:

It's fucking beautiful. And Chaz Princeton >>>>>>> Seto Kaiba in toooooooo many ways. Kid is that TRUTH. As soon as he left DA, I missed him. Once again though... GX's superior pacing checked right back up on him with perfect timing.

Straight up refreshing. The only way this series could get better is if they have Chaz win the school duel. He STOMPED all over North Academy like they forgot the birth control again. :rofl:

Jaden and his progression into the school is pretty much the real storyline. If you're looking for some drab "OMG TEH WERLD IZ EN DANGJA!!112`" crap... I'm sure you'll have to wait a little longer.

k....dude that got his ass SHOT on the plane recently for saying he had a bomb in his backpack...why has there been apparent debate about this in the news recently...I'll admit I'm only halfway paying attention here...but if I'm an air-marshall, and you run up claiming you have a bomb on the plane...you get shot in the damn face with no negotiation...no questions asked. It's not a hard concept to understand. Don't tell me there are people who are seriously trying to defend that piece of shit? The fact that he did NOT actually have a bomb doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I'll go overkill and shoot his face until it looks like a 3-dollar pack of ground beef at Kroger. It doesn't even require me being an air-marshal or whatever either...if I happened to have a gun on me, and he tried that shit....it's Game Over for him, simple as that.

How the hell is Winx Club still on? WITCH destroys that nonsense.

that bi-polar shit is a lame excuse..i dunno how man bi-polar people u met...but not a single bi-polar person starts yelling i got a bomb. Its more like mood swings in both guys and girls. They never yell random specific shit like that..its sad he got shot but i totally understand..panic mode+wife could have been with him claiming he was bi-polar..u can't confirm that in like 5 seconds in the air.

I feel sad for the fam..but really...wuts their to do when sum1 claims they got a bomb..its funny since its like 2 weeks since they said they'd ease resrictions.

I'd also like to mention i got a fuckin sword on a plane...yes a sword. so ya either i'm broken or faa still has work to do.

wow...it must be one of the greatest jobs ever---the job of the MTV Cameraman. On the "Shit they Should've Shown" special...blonde girl ran around the house naked, there's the bathroom/shower shots for the past several seasons...the girls just walking around half-naked. It's the perfect job for someone with a voyeur fetish.

They just showed a scene where Melinda and her friend mooned the camera. I'd do this job for FREE.

apparently the guy never said he had a bomb, which is why everyone in the news is talking about it-or was before the plane incident in chicago.

Reading GameFAQs threads is like sticking burning cigarettes into your eyes. I don't know why anyone does it.

Although I know for a fact that the Shaq Fu forum on GameFAQs is mind blowingly awesome.

I bought Shaq Fu a few years ago for about 3 dollars. I saw it at a store that specializes in old games, and I HAD to get it...couldn't resist. ShaqFu is one of those things in the "so bad it's good" category, and in that sense, I consider it a classic. The real worst fighting game ever though is Rise of the Robots. It's not even "so bad it's good"...it's just pure garbage in every possible way....well, except graphics. Back then, it had "aiiight" visuals...and even that was purely on a technical point....the actual overall visual design was garbage, just like everything else.

I don't like the new Yu Gi Oh. The old one was fun because...just like the aforementioned Shaq Fu...it was "so bad it's good". It was perfect MST3K material...so wide open for non-stop jokes.

*I'm surprised that Geena Davis looks reasonably fuckable in her new show where her character is the President. This woman has never looked that hot to me before...in fact, she's always been quite odd looking....tall, awkward, NO ass, barely any boobage...just nothing going on.

Nickelodeon is actually trying to come back....Avatar is great, and Danny Phantom look alright...Fairly Odd Parents(finally some nick toons that aren't ass-stain ugly) looks ok too...Nick is on the comeback trail, it seems.

KROGER strikes again: 3 pieces of "Kroger chicken" for 2.59 folks. It's not on Popeye's level, but it was good enough. Besides, it's hard to get chicken wrong....Church's is the only one that sucks.(*we need to get the Feds to come in and shut that whole franchise down. It should be illegal to pass that junk off as fried chicken.)

*I just did more eavesdropping....one of those cute girls was outside talking on the cell...apparently her name is Valerie(I know the last name too...just not going to put it all out there like that), and her birthday is on Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend....and she was talking about losing her cell.phone recently, and some hilarious misadventure that happened as a result.

I found a delicious store brand of "Berry Burst Cheerios" for $2. It's outrageous. I've been waiting for the longest time for a store brand of Carnation's Instant Breakfast...that shit is like $5. Peace out.

Ok, so if you find out some kind of food or something you've always liked contains something that disgusts you, how do you react? I just found out today that Worcestershire sauce, one of my favorite condiments in life, contains anchovies! Now I'm gonna be apprehensive everytime I think about using it, and it's gonna taste different to me :bluu:

I usually stop eating it, or eat it way less.

Kinda like I did with fast food. And beef in general, especially after reading fast food nation.

Oh, and hot dogs.
