Homosexuality is most likely the result of many factors including genetics, hormones and environment. A persons sexuality can change, however there is no evidence that it is a voluntary process

He's a 33 year old, fair-to-middling player, who has not put in a memorable performance for years...

If you think he is going to dominate the competition, you're in for dissapointment...

Thats not really true. He was a mjor reason Real Madrid won the league in Spain last year.

He shouldn't be in the England team but he is deffinately a class above the majority of MLS players

How can you be proud of being white? Or black? Or any other colour?

Being proud implies some sort of achievement on your part yet you did no achieve "white", its just random chance. You can be happy to be white, but racial pride is as pointless and stupid as national pride for the same reasons.

definitely a contender... that black cube should be voted the greatest villain of all time lol, the music thats played with it is like fear in sound

How could you possibly say that the Monolith is a villain? Did you somehow miss the part where it gave us intelligence?

and that intelligence got a monkey beaten to death with a bone lol. i thought film portrayed our intelligence as a bad thing, especially with HAL (i think that was its name, the red eye computer). kind of a mixed message, because there was definitely technology and intelligence portrayed well.

and the black cube still has a haunting soundtrack lol

I think it could be argued that the Monolith is also a villain, not in the sense that hip-hop-cola2 meant. But in the end, it was our intelligence that created HAL. Though that's a stretch.

me win!

Its been a while but iirc, in the books, the monolith is amoral, neither good nor bad.

Exactly. Dismiss Dawkins for his crappy styIe of arguing and his flat-out mistruths, not because of his bias.

What mistruths exactly?

[QUOTE="gobo212"]The Wall is my least favorite of their albums and I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. Once Roger Waters took complete control of the band everything went downhill.streak000

Too true. I would say animals is much more of an under rated album

Animals is all Roger Waters. The Wall, on the other hand, contained lots of creative input from David Gilmour. Yet Animals is a much better album. I think Pink Floyd were at their best when Waters was running the show........

And don't even get me started on that psychodelic nut Sid Barrett.......

Actually, The Wall was Roger Water's baby. Animals, Darkside and Wish You Were Here are the more collaberative albums. So, in my opinion, (and yours it would seem), Pink Floyd were better when the two egos were working more closely together as opposed to Waters not wanting to even credit Gilmour on The Wall

[QUOTE="IcyToasters"][QUOTE="gobo212"]How does listening to a certain type of music make you part of a social group?Merkaba-

Xbox owners...so Pop because Xbox = Brittany Spears. Sold 10,000,000+ copies and there's no talent or art involved.Merkaba-

I don't loathe anybody except for Xbox owners (for ruining so many good PC games) and the closest of those groups would be Pop.

Pop music is for people who don't really like music. They need something to put on in the background while they go to the dentist or something stupid like that. It's "music" in the literal sense but it's so far from what makes music worth listening too. There's no art in it at all.

Xbox is the same way. It's a gaming system for people who don't really care about gaming. They buy a gaming system so they can play Madden while the NFL is in the offseason and then let it collect dust the rest of the year. Sure it's a "gaming system" but what makes a gamer is his desire to game...not to pass the time between events he actually does desire. Again, total lack of art.

But devs have started to ignore the PC as the ultimate gaming platform because Microsoft wants the Xbox to replace the PC's gaming ability so they can stop focusing on gaming support in the OSes. J Allard is the spawn of satan and he took a giant dump on gaming and gamers when he took charge of MS's gaming. Gaming on a gamepad is not.

Oh and Halo...is there anything worse to ever happen to gaming than Halo? It's like fly paper for casuals. I can't tell you how many self-proclaimed gamers I've met whos gaming experiences are limited to Halo and everything that came after it. Totally ignorant to the fact that gaming has been around a lot longer than Halo.

Can't you save that kind of thing for the system wars. Just because you don't like a console doesnt make it bad or the people who buy it inferior gamers
