[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Okay, so my FG sucks then.[/QUOTE]

I liked it :-\

I'll be honest here, though: if you expected Ray to not question and nitpick what you wrote... well, you can finish this sentence I'm sure.

NP: The Clincher

What's that supposed to mean?

That your favourite kind of music is rap, so you were always going to nitpick. Same as anyone when reading an article on their favourite genre or band or something.

Ohhh. I get it now.

Good to know.

EDIT: It (the FG) definitely seemed kinda rushed. There was minimal background about the music. It was like, "Yadda yadda, here's some uploads".

It could also mean that Ray always bitches about things (:))

Well, the first one was my intention, but the one in green makes a good point as well :p

That's what I took it to mean, actually.

And "Mario and Luigi"? I don't get it :(

I have a couple Chevelle questions about the song "Still Running" (to anyone who'd know the answer):

1. The version that's on [i]The Punisher[/i] OST... was this just a "demo" version of the song? Or did they just re-do the song for TToT(CDUI)? The latter version is far more superior to me.

2. Does anyone know what the disclaimer at the beginning of the song is? Either my speakers really suck, or my ears do :(

Wow.

So one of my mom's co-workers' daughter refuses to watch "24" because she feels it is racist--because the bad guys this season are Muslims.

Yes, the show where the BLACK president for the first three seasons was undoubtedly the classiest, most well-spoken, and most honorable character on the show...is racist.

Where the Hispanic head of CTU for the first three seasons, who was at worst the second-most competent employee after Jack...is racist.

Gotta love it.

It bothers me when Blacks (or any people) complain about Huck Finn being racist, when Jim (the former slave who escapes with Huck) is clearly the person with the strongest morals and character in the novel. It seems to me that Twain only used the n-word to accurately portray the the society of that region at the time.

And I do understand (or at least attempt to understand) how offensive the n-word is, but it just seems like people saw it and started screaming racist before even reading the book. All the white people in the novel are basically horrible people, with a few minor exceptions.

It's well-documented that Mark Twain was highly critical of our racist society. Educated people know that Huck Finn was not a racist novel; it just depicted what society was like back then.

Edit: It's not just some blacks who complain about it. It's the white PC Police pvssies too.

Thats my point, but then there's always people trying to get the book banned from school and such. The irony of it annoys me.

Like the co-worker's daughter...she goes to a school which, according to my mom, is all-white.

In other words, she's one of those New England Liberals who champions the rights of minorities but has no idea how to act around or talk to one.

Those people annoy the he[COLOR=White]ll[/COLOR] out of me. Shes just part of the growing number of confused youth in America who think it's cool to be really liberal without having any political facts or knowledge.

It is cool to be liberal in attitude without any specific knowledge of liberal theory, I think. It's when they go around proclaiming that they are Liberal-with-a-capital-L with no real idea of liberal thought that the problems begin.

That's how it is with people in New England. They're liberal because everyone in the region is, but they're no less ignorant than anyone else--they rely on racial stereotypes too, more than anyone else in the country thinks they do.

Hell, on average, Southerners are more receptive of blacks than New Englanders.

Ok, I'm done working for the night/morning so I'm of the bed.

:lol: I know exactly what you mean. Although, technically I [I]am[/I] a New England liberal and sort of take offense to that. :upset:

That's true to an extent. I guess people lose sight of the fact that it was only Northern legislation that was relatively receptive of blacks back in the day. However, there are cities like New York, Boston, and Pittsburgh of the Northeast that do not exactly have a great history with minorities.

I just hate when people single out New England. There's a reason we have the most esteemed colleges, by God!

Just in case others are interested, here's a song I just uploaded for a different thread;

[url=http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3QEQQYSR7LM3C0AQ5GW4O8H70H]Dinosaur Jr. feat. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - The Missing Link[/url]

Haha I love Del. Thanks, man.

You're welcome :). Have you heard Dinosaur Jr. before? From what little I know by them, their guitarist is excellent, and he kicks a[font=verdana]s[/font]s all over this song.

Nope. Only heard OF them. But this guitarist is d@mn good from what I hear on this song. Are they always rap-rock?

Nope, as far as I know, this is a one off track. They're usually, very generally, indie rock (their sound seems to be renowned as really hard to pin down properly). Usually I think J Mascis (the guitarist) does the vocals as well, but I'm not sure. It's the guy who does backing vocals on this track anyway though (in the background on the chorus), whoever it is.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Since when did intelligence have anything to do with racial ignorance?[/QUOTE]

Most of the time when people become more educated and learn more they become less ignorant when it comes to race. But it all really depends on how you grow up.

You know, no one loves the excitement and intensity of the NBA playoffs more than I do...but sometimes, I miss the dead bodies!

Oh Magic, how far will go you? You don't exactly see Larry Bird or Dr. J doing these things.

Also, TNT's "Inside the NBA" team of EJ, Chuck, and Kenny = best sports studio team evar.

[QUOTE=R.Blythe]Most of the time when people become more educated and learn more they become less ignorant when it comes to race. But it all really depends on how you grow up.[/QUOTE]

But sometimes they only LEARN it instead of EXPERIENCING it, and when it comes to racial relations, experience is just as valuable, if not more valuable.

I mean, these kids can learn all they want, but they still wouldn't know how to act around a black person or an Arab, and they certainly wouldn't feel any more comfortable.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]You know, no one loves the excitement and intensity of the NBA playoffs more than I do.[/QUOTE]

I will love the excitement once some close games start happening. Every game has had like 20 pt margin so far this round except todays Wash vs. Miami game.

I was making fun of the ads for Law and Order that Magic is doing for TNT.

he says the line, "You know, no one loves the excitement and intensity of the NBA playoffs more than I do...but sometimes, I miss the dead bodies!"

I believe I can get used to neglecting sleep at night to write books, listen to Aerosmith and go on the internet.

You're right, I'm taking your criticism too personally.

I probably didn't spend as long as I should have on it, but I was working on it between studying for exams, etc.

Thanks for putting the 2pac uploads in it. He needs to be recognized for the genius he was.

And I also agree about the minimal history about the artists that I put in the FG, but I guess I just assumed the music would speak for itself.

We cool?

It's okay, it's okay. We're tight like Manny and Papi.

:lol: At Jom's Mario Brothers joke.

Good evening all. I just returned to MX, after a massive load of university coursework. Wow. Just wow. Too much stuff in too little a time. Ah well.

So, the highlight was cutting open a whole chicken and cane toad in a kind of "open dissection" (no aim, just investigating inner workings). Well, the chicken had crapped itself when they broke its neck, and so it stank to high heaven. Also, once I had broken its ribs and exposed the visceral mass, I accidentally split one of the pre-formed eggs, releasing the foulest rotten egg odour I have smelt in a long while.

Despite that, birds are really interesting, so my lab partner and I amused ourselves finding and investigating the airsacs/lungs, and also making the wings beat by pulling on the pectoralis minorus muscles.

Also, the cane toads heart was beating when we open the chest, despite it being frozen for several days. We attributed it to the nerve endings being excited by the metal probe we pinned them back with. Even so, it was morbidly fun and entertaining.

What's happened on MX in my absence? (Monday Night Mayhem thread may be done tonight :eek: )

This is my last day of real school. I have ISS for 10 days and we only have 9 days left. Not to mention I have to start out next year on the first day of school with ISS. :(
ISS = room you sit in all day without talk it's basically a detention that lasts your entire school day which is like 8 hours.

Alright guys, tonight is the talent show. I'll be play guitar for some people singing "Lean On Me", but my real time to shine is when me and another guitar are playing "Wish You Were Here" and "Layla (unplugged)" for the last two acts of the show. I thought that'd be a good way to go out. We went over the songs yesterday and it sounds sweet, I get to improv solo at the end :D
