I play drums, guitar and bass and yes Drums is a bit easier to learn then Guitar&bass and imo all it takes is some practice and a few lessons to be decent at either. I think some people are born though with some extra talent that allow them to easily learn and excell at an insturment and imo there is a huge differance between a person who can drum a few tunes to a person who reads notes and plays profesionally.

Movies: War Of The Worlds, or, Independence Day
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/22/07 1:46:33 PM
War of the worlds looked good but Tom's stupid retarted kids and the fact these aliens were morons when it came to studying our microbial bacteria made for a broken story imo. Independance day was my favorite and even though I doubt a human computer could interface with an advanced alien cpu and deliver a virus but I still found it some what believable because they included the Roswell crash which gave them insight into their tech. IMO the aliens in Wotw looked like rip off's from ID4, their faces were identical and their tri-pod attack vehicles were nothing compared to the City size saucers in ID4. I wonder who would win if those 2 aliens went to war lol? I would bet on the crazy ID4 aliens they seem to have better tech and do a little more research, like how stupid do you have to be to travel light years to conquer a planet only to be killed by its microbial life which you failed to prepare for?

Movies that brought you to tears...
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/20/07 2:54:56 PM
Old yeller made me cry when I was a kid, Forest Gump sorta made me teary eyed when Jenny died and Forest's mom, Pearl Harbor, Star trek Nemesis when Data sacrifices himself and Independance Day when the president gives that speech lol. There is a few more but I cant remember them all and I dont care what anyone thinks some movies are freakin sad or just make you fill with tears happy or sad ones.

From what I understand of Bhuddism and Hindu religion is that they are atheist at their core because they dont believe in a supreme being? Many differant forms of atheism so I really think if it can be defined as a belief than it is a religion even if just to the person believing it.

Mencia got lucky when Chappelle left his show and Rogan is a better comedian imo because he uses his own material and all Mencia is, is a performance artist. Sure his show is ok but the fact he steals material makes him a phony in my eyes and someone like Rogan who might not be as well known but sticks to his ehtics. I bet the only Joke Mencia came up with was "da da da" and I guess thats maby the kind of performer showbiz likes to hire because he will sell out to anything.

Originally posted by outfctrl Where the heck did you get this information, who is the world you refer to? After Britton,France, Canada, Russia and the allies were intrenched in war I dont really think any of us gave a damn what any country not involved would say. Plus it seems the world is very stupid if your facts are true but who are you refering to ? The time just before Hitler invading Russia was a complicated diplomatic problem but when Germany invaded Russia it became alot less complex and after that the sides were clearly drawn. Who wanted to condem Truman for war crimes to? I never heard of any of that stuff and as for the comment about axis nations forgiving lol OMG they are lucky we didnt strip their countries soverignty and divide their land up between the allies, we actualy gave them their countries BACK! I dont think they planned on doin that for us? |

A hypothetical situation for you religious folk
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/11/07 5:28:56 PM
Originally posted by GameloadingI dont deny he didnt exist but I deny many feats and so called miracles he is said to have done. First off I dont think he literaly turned water into wine and I think thats just a metaphor for something, also I dont think he walked on water unless it was frozen and I also dont think his mother was a virgin because these things just sound to illogical when looked at through a scientific mind. These things were written by people over the past 2000 years to basicly control people and have an influnce with alot of power. Until I see this stuff for myself I will judge 2000 year old writtings about magic and miracles as fiction rather than fact. |

A hypothetical situation for you religious folk
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/11/07 1:52:18 PM
IMHO there is no way that god exists the way the any current religion depicts him, the bible is not a factual book it is just a compilation of stories and some happen to be greatly exagerated to keep the fock in line. Religion is a CONTROL TOOL and the fear of having your mortal soul eternaly dammed was a good way to keep people in line and get them to give money. You were dead before you were born and you will be dead after you die and if god puts a soul in hell for eternity for what was done in the span of 30-80 years then he is a very illogical god. I also doubt that we are anything more than evolved bacteria and religion is just some peoples way of supressing their most deadful fear, death. They dont know for a fact Sodom and Gomora was destroyed by god? I also believe that what people might have precieved back then were just "Anuhnaki" which are ET's that parade as gods and suposedly created us and there is better evidence to suggest that then this whole god as the divine ruler of man malarky. What single shred of evidence gives credence to a WORLD WIDE FLOOD? I am not talking the area where the bible was written but the whole world and BTW if you know anything about genetics you know Noah must have been on drugs to think he can get healthy populations of various species by having 1 breeding pair for each? To believe the stuff in the bible you really have to toss all logic out the window and I just cant do that and what about other religions? Does Indian and Mayan or Druid beliefs hold truth? What about Hindu, Bhudism, Shinto, Islam, Native American beliefs and various tribal religions found around the globe? The bible was just lucky enough to have been written by the people who won a majority of the land through wars and economic manipulation which gave them a very big pulpit from which to preach. To many acts of evil have been commited in the name of god for religion and to many people of religion hold to the notion they are better then the non believer and my soul is dammed or whatever. I guess we will see who is right when we all die! |

Snickers Super Bowl Commercial...Please
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/10/07 1:12:15 PM
Please tell me the story you were told on evolution I am curious to what you truly believe to be the truth? Is science lieing to us? Are the facts I presented witch contradict the theory of a 6000 year old Earth and creationism wrong or incorrect? Why cant God exist and evolution? Maby the old scriptures written by people thousands of years ago got some facts wrong or misinterpreted some things? Many questions and little answers and I dont even claim that what I know to be true is undoubtebly true but I did the best research I could and came the results the facts have led me to. I truly belive your in error but its that what you believe I will respect that and wont mention it again and just agree to disagree.

Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/10/07 11:32:15 AM
I feel sorry for anyone misguided enough to believe the earth is 6000 years old, seriously brainwashed and I cant believe I wasted time to actualy read some of the lame brain theories with no scientific proof. The earth is 4.5+ billion years old plain and simple and religion is just gonna hve to accept that and get over it like they did when they so ademently denied the fact earth orbited the sun. I just look at history to see who most likely is wrong and I am sure noone has proved witches exist but Christians and Catholics sure as hell believed they did and even executed many in ignorant attempts to instill fear in the masses. Lets get to some facts about the earth though and I will debunk a few statements some creationists have made. First I seen a comment about some T-rex having flesh and how its impossible for flesh to last for millions of years but had the person who made that comment had any knowledge of fossilization they would know that with a lack of bacteria and elements to degrade the dead skin cells they will be preserved hence the term "mumification". Sorry to go so off-topic but I think the thread already took that turn! Second fact is human lineage can be traced back to over 2 million years by fossils found all over areas like Africa and Austrailia plus every place where man has lived he has evloved to better adapt to his environment. Evolution is a fact and it explains through scientific observation and discovery while religion was created by man in order to control the masses nothing more. Maby there is a god but he created the universe and our planet created life on its own or if god created life here then he did so back when all there was was RNA and they later evolved into DNA which made the first single celled organisms and they created oxygen molecules when they divided and when the atmosphere was at the propper concentration of oxygen then multi-celled life evloved from single cell life and science clearly explains it all and its almost been proved with 100% certainty. Dreanor do you seriously believe god just went poof like a magician and bam there is earth and a whole assortment of wildlife? Our planets evolution and ecology has been fine tuning itself for 3.2 BILLION years and its just makes me laugh sometimes to think intelligent sounding people can cling to such crazy beliefs. Space astronomy is in my opinion the ultimate trump card to deny the 6000 year old earth theory and here is why, a photon of light travels in 3 dimensional space time at 188 000kps and our telescopes have mapped 16-18 billion light years diameter of our known universe. That means the light our telescopes recieve at those distances take 16-18 billion years to get here, if that is the case then earth seems oddly out of place. Also look at impact site and major craters from impacts and do the scientific math and if I was to assume creationists are correct then we have had a major comet/asteroid impact every 200 years and impacts that destroy cities would have happens every 10 years but this clearly is not the case. There is 10000's of impact sites where large objects crashed from space and real science says this happens every so often and in terms of millions of years between major impacts. Also Earth shows massive evidence of 3 great pereiods of extinction and fossils of creatures that havnt been alive in BILLIONS of years and some are still alive like Horseshoe crabs which are living proof our planet is ancient. Just go do the propper research and you will see creationism is just another religious blunder in ignorance like usual. |

The Democratic Underground Roots For The Death Of American Troops In Iraq
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 2/09/07 2:32:41 PM
George Bush should be tried and hung as a war criminal Outfctrl, he has caused the deaths of over 600k Iraqi civillians and its the politicians fault for bowing to big buisness that America is still so dependant on oil, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT! You elected officials that took money from oil lobbyists and those lobbyists made BILLIONS in the summer when oil prices spiked. Every single reason Bush said goin into Iraq was needed has been proven false and if he was really serious about getting the job done they would have spent alot more on their troops instead of cheaping out on them and fattening up the pockets of big buisness with government projects to build SHITTY buildings and rip off more $$. 12 BILLION dollars is now unacounted for! Thats literaly 320 tons of money lol! How the hell can a responsible country lose 12 billion dollars? Money & power is what its all about and if Iraq was so important and was such a good thing for the region then why was the USA one of the only major powers to go in? No other major country except Britton agreed with you and I think Britton only helped due to a sense of honor for American help in previous wars. The republicans and democrats are just puppets for agendas that groups of super rich and the so called "elite" who call the shots. I might be a conspriacy nut but I know what I know and I would bet my life its true! |

Can you even imagine the feeling of a freaking subway train passing over you? The clearance they said was like 26 inches and they were 24 inches which left 2 inches and if the train was draggin a piece of metal or somthing but wow this guy acted on some sort of superhuman impulse. I dont believe in religion all that mush but stuff like this adds to my faith we have something watching us.
