Through my many minutes of lurking, I've noticed you've all developed a healthy appetite for metal drumming. Here's the dream pairing of Devin Townsend and Dirk Verbeuren. Both men are monsters, yet adorable little things.
NSFW due to language, and that's about it.

I've seen kids play better on the pots and pans. Infact, it's sounds the same. If you want decent drumming, check out Morgan Rose from Sevendust. Or the daddy of them all, Dave Lombardo.

Limmy show is fucking hilarious. He is also very talented. He does all effects himself. Almost like a b3ta t.v.
the second episode in this series is awesome, but watch the first for the 'open sign' sketch. Piss myself everytime :-)

I'll say here what I said on Facebook...
The whole "One nation under God" part of the Pledge of Allegiance was added in 1954. Breaking the First Amendment in doing so by respecting Christianity over anything else. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Both the Protesters and the Charity have a right to do what they were doing. While what the protesters were doing was hateful, it is protected by free speech. They prevented no-one from gathering and threatened no violence.
However, it is the idea that America is a Christian Nation over anything else which is stoked by the government and fuelled by the rampant paranoia of it's middle-class and working-class citizenry that caused this, frankly disgusting, protest.
The protest is a symptom of the rise of a new kind of McCarthyism that strove to find and ostracise communist traitors (a worthy cause) that ended up targeting left-leaning artists, scientists, novelists, actors and free-thinkers that now has begun targeting Terrorists (another worthy cause), and has ended up targeting Muslims.
The question Americans have to ask themselves is: The result of McCarthyism left America with the Hippy Movement, if you really, honestly and truly want to make America a Nation for Christians only, you're going the wrong way about it.
But then again, Fundamentalist followers were never the brightest lot.
bit of a rant there actually.
( , Fri 4 Mar 2011, 11:20, Reply)

Well, I actually hate it. But here we go:
Benjamin Franklin: "Even if the Mufti of Constantinople [were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service."
Washington on who to hire: “If they are good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa or Europe; they may be Mahometans, Jews, Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists."
But, yeah. Back then government would have told Moslems to go home. Honest.

His tactics may have been flawed, but he discovered quite a few Soviet agents working in crucial areas of the US governmen: likely how the Soviets got nukes, which is not a good thing. Don't know how you made the leap from opposing muslims to McCarthy unless it is a label like "boogeyman"
( , Fri 4 Mar 2011, 11:35, Reply)

It did find spies, just as the Anti-Terrorist laws are finding Terrorists.
But it's having the side effect of shunning a large part of the population (Free thinkers, Scientists, Artist, Actors etc in the case of McCarthyism, and Muslims, and anyone non-Christian in this case).
To say that "Hippies are ruining the country" is rather bland. The hippy movement branched out in many ways, including into Environmentalism, from which we wouldn't have had people willing to spearhead planet-saving green movements for little or no reward.
On the flip-side you can easily say that Republicans are ruining the country and just point to George W Bush, despite the fact that he was re-elected and his tenure as president did have some positive benifits. (like making it profitable to jump on environmentalism)
Blaming one thing for ruining a country is the flimsiest straw man ever. Except maybe saying that something is the flimsiest straw man ever.

Every single time I broke down in the past, the RAC switchboard was always too busy. Back then I would have loved for someone to stop and help.

I do hope you aren't implying I'm a bad sort. I didn't say "I have taken drunk people home" before, because that sounds bad. But I've helped a guy who was passed out next to the river when I was walking back one night, one who was wandering around in my street, and one girl who'd had several bottles of wine that night - helped all of them to get home. I feel I must state that they went to *their* homes (not mine) with neither hanky-panky nor rumpy-pumpy, and I never saw any of them again.

I had a mate who hung off an overhang on a cliff once and made me take a photo from above as he did it. I kept saying 'No please, no...' But then he was hanging so I just did it. I nearly fell off into the sea looking through the viewfinder. Still gives me nightmares. Good photo though!
It was on the West coast of Ireland (Aran Isles) and we were the only people about he had the car keys as well so if he had slipped I would have a had a very long walk back to the town to wonder how to break the news to his Dad. Madness...

he was talking about communities, rather than the horror that is Social networking.
I mean, look at B3ta, alot of us are essentially anonymous to each other yet mostly maintain a cordial tone. Most put-downs or jeers are jovial in nature and unless you're of the thinnest skin you are unlikely to take offence. Sure, a few trolls sneak in here and there but it's still very similar to the way Allen described it.
Anonymous commenting on things you'll likely never return to is like graffiti. It'll stay there a while and then it'll be gone from sight after someone cleans it up (or it just goes beyond page 2 and no-one ever reads it again) combined with a lack of moderation is what encourages these dicks to be dicks constantly.
