6. Fratboys, drank themselves into bad grades, lost all their money on booze, and forgot to take the finals, thus severing any hope of passing the class.
Some guy over in Arizona, who was a Senior Journalism major, wrote an article on how the last four years of his life had been a job where he had made a negative salary. He essentially dismissed the entire idea of going to college as worthless, because it was going to take him twice as long to pay for the debt he got in from student loans, unless he got an extremely good job right out of college, which almost never actually happens. He apparently got expelled after writing the article.
[QUOTE="bastards12345"][QUOTE="Nisstyre_56"][QUOTE="pianist"]Your poll doesn't make much sense. I'm an agnostic. I assume you're an atheist, in which case I invite you post concrete proof of the absence of supernatural forces in the universe.pianist
How does it not make sense? A weak Agnostic is just someone who believes in a vague higher power. I wasn't looking for an argument...this is just a companion to Christian Pride thread An agnostic is someone who believes there isn't enough evidence to prove or disprove the existence of god. You can be agnostic and still be an atheist or a theist.
Hmm? How can you simultaneously take one of these two opposing positions while at the same time admitting that there isn't evidence to support your position? That doesn't make much logical sense. I think he means to say that you could be agnostic, but more willing to admit one over the other. Sometimes as an almost subconscious reaction. Many agnostics are former Christians who've had the idea of a higher power ingrained into their heads at a young age, and they can't entirely remove it from their minds. Officially, I'm a strong agnostic, but I have tons of metaphysical theories that sometimes involve a higher power. They're only theories though, and I don't believe them to be more than that. I just state them as my beliefs when asked if I want people to think that I'm a deep thinker.
[QUOTE="jerico6"][QUOTE="Stupid-Bastard"]What about metal music?skullkrusher13
He saying that Metal Music is awesome! :)
:roll: please.
1. The bands you listed hardly qualify as "metal"
2. He is saying metal is a big contributor as to why the world might end pre maturely, which is preposterious.
What? you don't consider Rob Zombie metal? and no, metal music will not lead to the end of the world. That's stupid. btw, I was making a joke when I said that the TC thinks Metal is awesome.
Idk, I have only heard about 20 secs of Rob Zombie, that was enough for me. I don't know what the hell they are.
I know you were joking, I'm not an idiot. I was pointing out to the guy questioning, just in case he was confused.
Rob Zombie is Industrial Nu-Metal, which technically isn't metal. More like Shock Rock, except not that shocking.
For the record, metal music is quite un-satanic. On the contrary, if it's good, it's thought provoking, which unfortunately can't be said about most christian music.
Not being a Christian, and not believing in the Rapture (although I've read most of the Bible), I don't think that they will ever come. Not because it's scientifically impossible, but because the entire state of mind of "this and this point towards it happening soon" has been around for hundreds of years, and will probably be around for far longer than that. Ever since that idea of the Rapture was created, people have been seeing signs of it happening in their lifetimes. It's the people pretty much forcing a connection between current events and the Rapture. They may be doing it to reinforce their faith, or as a subconscious action, but it's definitely not happening anytime soon, if it's going to happen at all.
[QUOTE="-Iconoclast-"]Check out Weather Report, sweet jazz fusion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQDfMqLlFPU proctorsurf
I'm pretty sure the lsd sitting in my spine just surged up to my brain after watching that.... thank you. Why can't there be more jazz like Weather Report?
Captain Beyond (70's space rock, FTW) Hawkwind (70's psychedelic rock) Acid Mothers Temple (trippy as all hell, I can not begin to tell you what listening to this does to me when I'm stoned) Tangerine Dream (one of the earlier electronica bands, they've got some pretty mellow stuff) Gordian Knot (Especially their self-titled album) Some of Ulver's later stuff (such as Themes from William Blake's Heaven and Hell) Boards of Canada (Incredibly mellow stuff, to the tune of Explosions In The Sky. Check out Dayvan Cowboy) somebody already said Explosions In The Sky and Mogwai, and Coltrane, and Infected Mushroom Shpongle (Like Infected Mushroom, some of the better trance I've heard) Frou Frou (A side project of Imogen Heap. Very Bjorkish) Imogen Heap (second album only, first album is kinda like Alanis Morissette) Russian Circles Isis Opeth has a few songs that occasionally make me sleepy (This and the above two are mellow metal) The Deserts of Traun (it's kind of trippy stuff, it's the closest thing I've heard to a fantasy novel put into music without having words)
If you like metal at all, there's also some acoustic-only Black Metal albums out there, like Borknagar and Drudkh If you don't mind a lot of distortion and non-relaxing stuff, there's also: uneXpect Carnival In Coal Mr. Bungle Genghis TronArcturus
There's probably tons of other ambient stuff I'm missing.
Yeah, I've heard of Coil. Good stuff. On an unrelated note, occasionally I will be listening to music and will think that someone else in the same room said something to me, but they really didn't.
