- I thought we weren't supposed to respond to previous posts, even though I technically am going to in my next point:
- Megadeth's 'Endgame' is one of the best REAL metal albums in the past 10 years, and is also Megadeth's best album ever.
- With much respect for Joey, I hate how all new "producers" and "engineers" are going for the Sturgiscore sound, when they should be developing their own.
- Techno-core is the worst thing to happen to music in all of music history (Even worse than Rebecca Black)
- Lady Gaga is amazing
- So is Ke$ha
- Justin Bieber is catchy
- But he is still a disgrace to all humanity
- Brian Hood will soon become the next great engineer for "underground" hardcore/metal music
- KSM32 is the best medium diaphragm condenser in the world, and is better than any other large diaphragm condenser too, including the U87
- Oh, and the U87 and U47 clones from Oktava (Rode NT1a mods, seriously) are even better than the REAL Neumanns.
- On the same topic; Modded Oktava MK-012s > Neumann KM84/184
- And really high end mics aren't worth it ($2000+), unless you go vintage
- Jordan Mancino is one of the greatest drummers in the underground metal scene. He's not the "fastest" or most "technical", but he plays his drums like a REAL instrument instead of just using them as a "time keeping" device.

I'm gonna get eaten alive for this, but fuck it - this is controversial opinions thread so bite me:
- Apple fanboys/slaves. Seriously, just because you buy an overpriced, impossible to modify/upgrade/repair bullshit doesn't make you cool in any way. Also it doesn't make Mac better than PC. All it is is just overpriced piece of junk with some Linux ripoff OS. I like how you Apple slaves ignore the fact, that you could get PC for 1/10th the price of typical mac (with way better parameters, open for customisation and easy repairable), install Linux on it for ultimate operating stability and then if you REALLY need to - install VM Mac OS on it. I also love how people who have NO idea about electronic hardware keep claiming how Mac is superior ,,in every way". No it isn't. Hardware-wise it's same stuff that they put into PCs but with Apple stamp on it just to make it twice as expensive(and you guys fall for it, LOL). I'm really sorry for you if you think that PC = Windows only. Why feed the Lord-Steve-Jobs with your money when you can get PC with proper OS(Linux) if you REALLY hate Windows so much. Don't even get me started on ipads and iphones.
- Claims that Atheism is an religion are utterly retarded. You can call it ,,belief" if you want. Calling it religion makes you look stupid.
- Also, claims that Atheism is some type of new 'in' thing is also stupid. It's merely effect of growing self-awareness in people which is a good thing in my book.
- Having said that, I agree that religions divide people. I'll also go further and claim that nations do the same. Patriotism is a tool-keyword used by senile old fucks to make young people sacrifice their lives so they can wage their wars and keep comparing their dick sizes. I agree humanity has to be divided administratively cause managing one huge country always leads to a total failure(as history shows with roman empire, or the USSR), but nationalism should die as much as religions should.
- Claiming that Opeth is overrated is, uh, wrong. You might not appreciate it cause you prefer your eardrums raped by everlasting blasts or whatever, which causes the lack of appreciation of good music. If so then leave them alone and don't claim anything.
- There is alot(if not more) good music outside metal too, if you think otherwise then congratulations on fitting the metalhead stereotype(which is a bad thing fyi).
- Scream/Growl vocals should die out. It should be the minority thing(then it would be alot more interesting). People in general enjoy melodic, clean vocals more for a reason.
- Youtube should have commenting feature shut down. Biggest nest of morons(the people commenting) I could ever see(even 4chan doesn't come close).
- People who use Facebook phrases in real life conversations (the ,,like" thing mainly) deserve to be punched in the face and have their ears bitten off by Tyson(or their heads by Ozzy). I so hope this whole Facebook thing will die soon.

Sex that starts out as (almost/sortof) rape is a common fantasy for many women
General mindset is far more important than taste or specific opinions
We are all animals. Embrace it, but don't let it rule you
The secret to happiness is having loads of great sex with someone you love. Easier said than done.......
Fear is not the true path to morality. Teach people to do things right because they're right, not in fear of the consequences.
I blame poor parenting and the reliance on the nuclear family for the majority of social problems in the western world. Many people are simply not fit to bring up children and the problems are only exacerbated by the lack of a wider caring community. Vicious circle.
Truly peaceful multicultural society is a dream because a significant proportion of the people involved naturally tend towards being tribalistic and/or xenophobic dicks.

I like iPhones for the same reason I like PC's (or, one of the reasons I like PC's) - they're by far the most popular brand, and 99% of any application that's made, is designed to run really well on them. You can't say the same for Macs or Android phones, they just have a far more limited selection.
That said, I tried an iPad out the other day and hated it, way too big and clunky. That said, I tried out an Android tablet the other day (Samsung something, quite new) and it was far far worse.

- people that wear watches are only saying two things:
1) "i don't own a cellphone."
2) "this watch battery is broken."
- the fact that people read books much less today has nothing to do with intelligence... in fact, people are far more intelligent now than ever before.
- you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks.
- it is un-natural for human beings to consume milk from animals.
- people that live in apartments for more than one year are stupid, because you can own a house at (potentially) the same cost.
- why is it called "ISRC Code" if the "C" means code and has already been said? why must it be reiterated?
- you should ALWAYS judge a book by its cover... otherwise you will have no idea why you picked up the book in the first place.

Atheism and Anti-theism are just as "bad" as religion because they just drive more barriers between ourselves and others. The only way to all get along is to accept that we are all one, and all one and the same. Whether you are atheist, muslim, christian, jewish, the church of ladygagaism, whatever. And yes I realise the fundamental irony of this statement.
Also agree with the milk thing. Would you go and suck a cows tits? Yeah me neither. However, doesn't stop me from drinking it.
Morality is simply an illusion of our own creation. Right and wrong do not exist. Good and bad do not exist. Positive and negative do not exist.
Opeth are overrated.
Absolutism sucks and we need to find a way to start communicating qualia between one another.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I mentioned in the Osama thread... still amazing that the guy survived despite being on dialysis, you've gotta admit that.
And/or "I often need to know what time it is without having to rudely check my cell phone"/"It's a lot quicker to check your watch than your cell phone" maybe?

Atheism is a religion? ahahahaha!!! Wow, you guise are totally missing the point. Is being bald a hair color? Is not smoking weed getting high? Saying those kinds of things are a cheap way of trying to 'level the playing field'. Totally fallacious statements. Saying that someone is a certain type of humanist could be argued as that person adhering to a religion of sort, but if they reject all dogma than that could not be considered religion at all. Not all atheists are humanists and not all humanists are atheists. One might want to do some more reading before making such an ignorant blanket-statement. Typical theistic/woo argument, though.

If you have a baller watch, then yeah. Otherwise I don't see the point. If anything I prefer to check my phone just in case I've missed a text or whatever, that otherwise I wouldn't see til much later.
