because gorgoroth are the most original, underground band that nobody's ever heard of..

i disagree. maybe it's just me and where i live or something, but i have not experienced a great deal of philosophical thought amongst metalheads i know. that said, the only thing people i know who like metal have in common is that they like the music. it's not even a case of long hair and dark...

i can't be fucked reading that entire article, but it is highly unlikely that any 3rd world war would be between china and the us. or that any world war will eventuate at any point from now on, but that's another argument for another night. at the end of the day, much of china lives in...

my dvd does a similar thing actually.. it only works on one of my dvd players. on one, it doesn't allow you to actually select any of the options, just scroll up and down. do you have an alternate way of playing it or something? cause maybe it's just issues with the actual dvd player, and the cd...

mm, taboo subjects! :D juicy.. funny how overpopulation is a problem that underpins all the other major problems facing the environment. but public discourse on most environmental problems is pretty limited, considering their importance. which is probably why- how can you complain about what...

well i'm in melbourne, so i'll definitely be at those shows. and maybe sydney too.. if i were flying to aus from nz, i'd go melbourne and sydney :)

perhaps it's related to the development of communication and greater interactions. as societies grow, groups grow more connected, and also connected with other groups. their interests intertwine, so liberalism or more liberal views tend to cater to what were seemingly 'conservative' default...

it's hardly elite. this is the first forum i posted in, which if anything says more about me than the forum itself. but anyone can post here and presumably they'd only get shut down if they deserved it. hmm?

not liking the beatles, regardless of what you do like, does not make you a hypocrite. primarily because the word hypocrite does not make sense in that context.. it is possible to acknowledge the influence the beatles had on music, and the fact that they paved the way for many bands (you can...

ARGH it IS! i was trying to pick what it sounded (way too much) like, and that's it! it is, it's a complete rip off. that's the only muse song i ever actually semi-liked, though. so it's not 100% bad.

hey, i used to post here (though not very much) a few years ago, and then i went away and.. now i'm back. i just finished uni for the semester, so i've got a lot of time on my hands now.. i always come crawling back to the internet when this happens :) anyway, i'm allie and i look forward to...

absolutely, i completely agree. surely our beliefs arise from the experiences we are exposed to and engage in, and the effects they have on us. it's no coincidence that people from different socio-economic backgrounds, for example, or who have similar upbringings etc, tend to hold similar...

i don't think you can have fair or equal globalisation when the globalisation and interlinking of economies, cultures etc is among countries of different stages of development. when there is one superpower on a stage with smaller, weaker, poorer countries, globalisation is going to be tantamount...

exactly. that's the main (but not only) reason that i'm not a christian. how can you believe what's written in a book which was supposedly dictated by some guy thousands of years ago. if someone claimed to be the son of god now, nobody would believe them. they'd most likely be locked up in a...

after reading this thread, i dreamt that i found one for you and bought it to send to you. in my dream, i didnt want the vinyl for some reason... i dont even know you but you were in my dream. it was rather strange, haha :)
