Congratulations on the stars!

I have enough rep for stars, but not enough posts. :(

Rush is amazing.

Oh, Bartender, you make me sides split in two!

And your little edit was in url brackets for some reason, so it doesn't show up.

I've just been rep spamming since i got my stars... i feel a need to share the rep now.

Watch it, though....folks like Dargon would be happy to find excuses to make sure those stars disappear.

Yeah, that was the intention; I was covering myself, in case anyone thought that I actually thought Geddy was a girl :)

It was funny though. :)

Ripper, Dargon can't neg rep me while he's on my ignore list :D I did an experiment with him :lol:

[QUOTE=Ripper22]It was funny though. :)[/QUOTE]

Good :) That was also my intention.

Anyway, the only Rush song I actually know with any degree of depth (rather than just having heard it once or twice) is La Villa Strangiato.

What's with the feud between you and Dargon?

[QUOTE=TheChoSenOnes]What's with the feud between you and Dargon?[/QUOTE]

To put it objectively, Eleventeen's behavior in his early days on the forum was reminscient of a combination know-it-all toerag and a freshman kid who irritates the seniors in high school he knows by constantly asking why they hate him. Thus, he earned the everlasting enmity of Dargon and, for a while, the majority of the regulars in the thread.

Dargon, however, unlike myself, zepfan, rock not roll, and even Bobo, has yet to see that we are looking at a completely revamped and improved poster bearing the name Eleventeen, and so their feud continues.

EDIT: sorry Eleventeen, I'm honestly just calling it as I saw it then and now. I hope honesty is appreciated more than a PC version, especially considering the about-face my opinion made shortly after you were unbanned.

I see, thanks for filling me in.

Does anyone here know anything about renting webspace? Prices, terms and agreements etc.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Does anyone here know anything about renting webspace? Prices, terms and agreements etc.[/QUOTE]

No. :)

What are you renting it for?

Nothing in particular, I'm just wondering.

Hes going to make a kiddy pron site! With all the molested kids hes touched over the years. :eek:

So...I just watched a 2 hour PBS presentation on slavery. Such politically correct BS, it's heavily weighted against colonials making them seem like such bad people in general...why can't anything be presented objectively anymore? :(

I would talk with you about this, but since I got three hours of it during my "politics of race in music" class today, I'll spare you the dissertation. This is believe it or not the short version of what I'm learning. The basic problem is that people do not realize that racism of today is different from what it was before slavery ended, in the same way that anti-Semitism pre-Holocaust is totally, fundamentally different from anti-Semitism post-Holocaust and that the common stereotypes of slaveowners as terrible, etc. of today are flawed because they see slavery exclusively through the eyeglass of history from OUR present day, rather than examining the attitudes of the time as a product of THEIR present day. True understanding can only occur when political correctness is put aside and we understand these terrible things for what they actually were, as opposed to the admittedly over-demonized version of them we have created. It does not make what happened any less evil to admit that it really was not the Satan incarnate it's supposed to be. This is what your PBS documentary does not understand and it's what makes it just as propogandist as a documentary that tried to pass slavery off as a good thing.

This also is in line with the argument that the racial stereotypes and slurs such as the N-word and the "shucking Sambo" image of blackface minstrelsy need to be destigmatized, and that white people should no longer feel as though they need permission to laugh at them. They are, after all ridiculous, untrue, and thus absurd and funny stereotypes.

EDIT: Perhaps this was a post I put too much thought into, but hey, I was thinking about it anyway, so...sorry... :upset: Hopefully my point is nevertheless taken. :)

Because the media is run by bleeding heart liberals who care nothing for their own country.

[QUOTE=cjborton]Because the media is run by bleeding heart liberals who care nothing for their own country.[/QUOTE]

Well...Fox News is run by obsessively hypocritical and stiff-necked conservative preachers that care nothing for their own country. It works both ways, just like the government itself.

I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can here. Most of the media leans strongly left, you can't deny that. Fox News is not strongly right wing, it is simply fair, but relative to everything else they seem conservative.

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Lots of words[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I see your point, and I do pretty well understand why it happens. It's just annoying because I took AP European and AP US History and both presented more balanced views on slavery in America, and didn't demonize it so much. There was so much focus on some of the punishments slaves faced and such, and so much about the hypocrisies of the Declaration of Independence...etc... But it sort of bypassed the fact that non-slaves almost all died out due to the lack of jobs you could do to support yourself and though slave life was tough, it did at least keep you alive. I don't know...I wanted to punch the producers in the faces as I watched the propaganda my teacher is forcing us to write a report on :-/

Well...I'm just not in line with your views. You're in the miltary, and I'm going to the most liberal college in the USA (self-proclaimed). I guess we may have to disagree on this and leave it there. I don't deny what you're saying, but keep in mind, conversatism has traditionally been the side resistant to the kind of change seen by us today as ultimately very positive, such as the abolition of slavery and subsequent civil rights issues, women's right to vote, the end of isolationism and with it the attitude that the U.S. is independent from the rest of the world with the start of WWII, etc. The kind of liberals you're talking about are hated equally by me, mostly because they feel as though the mere fact that they are liberal and on the side of right gives them liscense to open their mouths to spout their opinions that are just as propogandist as the ones they condemn. This, as we know, is not the case: nobody knows everything, and few people are as self-righteous as your average liberal. I am not this way, and I understand what you're saying and agree with some, but not all.

Include these views in your report. If he's a truly good professor, he'll think it's a great paper. If he doesn't then you have a reason to raise a good stink with her.

EDIT: revised quotes are fun!

I'm too tired to think throuroughly enough to participate in this conversation, so I'm out for the night.

Later.
