[QUOTE=I0Play0Bass]Um...VERY large majority? The USA is mainly Christian; I'd say it's about 70% Christian, with about 60% of that 70% being Protestant and the other 40% being Catholic. The other 30% is about 25% Jewish and 5% assorted religions (Buddhism, Islamic, etc.). Those are just guesses, though.

So...yeah, that's a huge exaggeration, but I wouldn't doubt the part about the Jews in the government trying to protect Israel. It's a longer story than that, though.

Plus I'm tired. :p

[QUOTE=tim_commerfordism]Ah great. I got massive brick walls anyway so I'm sorted. How much do they go in the region for?

Heh, woman troubles eh?

Yeah might be getting an Ampeg 4x10 I think, and I'm looking to get a chorus and/or delay.

BTW what prices did you put your MIM PUP's and tuners for?[/QUOTE]


I think I'm paying 15 each for mine. I can't quite remember. It's worth it though

I sold the PUPs for 35 inc. delivery and the tuners went for £15. Well, I sold the bridge and tuners together to someone for £30 inc. :)

An Ampeg 4x10... nice! :D And keeping the Hartke head?


I've been listening to alot of Muse today. I've listened to all their albums, all of Poison the Well's albums, tons of Rise Against, CTTS and Mars Volta :)


God, It's 3AM and I'm just not tired at all! I think I'll go to bed around 4. I'm not at work until 4PM so thats ok :)

I look objectivly at both sides, I am not religious nor atheist, both seem absurd to me (I find religion to be rediculous and just don't participate, its a nonfactor in my life). I'm not trying to infringe on anyone's beliefs, just stating facts that I have personally seen.

If I offended you in any way, I apologive, whole heartedly

Santana usually keeps his mouth shut and lets his axe do the talking.

Ahaahaha /lame.

The fact that the US supports Israel is solely based on the fact they were never communist.

I can't stand when Atheist's say that they don't believe in anything.

Columbus? :) Don't know why I'm saying that, just felt it was necessary! Everyone laughed at him when he said the earth was round. And look! It is! So it's a good thing he didn't keep his mouth shut :)

I must say, Black Holes and Revelations is growing on me like a mould grows on a fine cheese. Does anybody else think he's singing about Bush/Blair/the curent world situation on Take A Bow?

[QUOTE=trumpeter]Did you just say I was intellegent in some sort of subverse, subconcious manner?[/QUOTE]

Well, you are, but I was praising your questioning. Questioning is the key to progression. What do you think would've happened if we stopped questioning in the so called Dark Ages? We'd all be reamed up the as[size=2]s[/size] by Catholic priests right now (literally).

Guess what?

Australians take lazy and apathetic to a whole new level. We're so complacent.

The questions that make the most difference are the one's that can't be answered.

I want George W. Bush to listen to 43% burnt by The Dillinger Escape Plan.

TAKE A BOW
YOU'VE EARNED IT
EAT SH[SIZE=2]IT[/SIZE]
YOU DESERVE IT

...only that part. The rest is about a girl...so...it doesn't matter.

DEP owns, by the way. Listen to them.

Anyone know how he's doing at his Berklee program?

Criss Frantic: Santana is my biggest influence. Im not even a bassist anymore :(

Gav: Theres a bit of a difference between the great scientific thinkers and me and dougs discussion. The world won't get any better over religions being shot down.

Doug: Its all good. I dont really claim any particular religion or church but Im still a fairly religious person

Yeah! :)

And I know what you mean, the first time I heard the single I thought it was terrible. Had a listen to the album and thought it was pretty bad. And I've listened to it for about the fourth time and now I'm really starting to enjoy it! :D

I want John Howard to listen to "John Howard" by Victims Of Noah, an Brisbane punk band:

John Howard, ya f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ckin c[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]nt
John Howard, ya bloody liar
John Howard, you're full of sh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t

I was with him yesterday. He loves it. He's the only one there with a 6 string and one of three (I think?) with a fretless. :amaze:

We're hanging out again soon, too, and I leave to back with him to Ohio August 13th.

OMG.
You know what bugs me about the new Muse song, Assassin? They have completely copied Lightning Bolt!

It sound's basically exactly the same.
There is a Lightning Bolt song called Assassins, I'm pretty sure.

Someone go make me some toast.





NOW!

All the american substitute teachers I had were cool, down to earth, clever and charming. Cos they were ex-pats. Ahahaha.

OMG! Dom's drum fill on "Assassin"!!!!
