is a stupid word. Also completely and utterly irrational. I decapitalised it for obvious reasons. Ayn Rand would not be impressed. And, in a moment of slight annoyance... these are the scholarships listed in a newsletter I got from my hopefully future college. Ahmet Ertegun Memorial Scholarships: for students of Turkish descent Dulverton Scholarships: for students from Central and Eastern Europe Hill Foundation Scholarships: for students from Russia undertaking a period of study before returning to develop careers in their home country Noon/Oxford/OCSKET Scholarships: for students from Pakistan Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Scholarships: for UK students of Muslim faith Raffy Manoukian scholarships: for Armenian nationals or those of Armenian descent Reach Oxford: for those from developing countries, who, for political or financial reasons, cannot study for a degree in their own country. Hence, unless we consider Cornwall a developing country, no opportunities there for British students. Now, looking further there appear to be a couple that are available for British students (generally with backgrounds studying elsewhere or from the commonwealth, which is understandable)... and I'd have applied too late anyway, and I'm not too bothered about this personally (nor am I particularly nationalistic). It does seem weird, though. Anyway, I'm otherwise very content. Anyway, stop breeing and I'll try to stop posting excessive amounts about Baldur's Gate. |

I heard the first two tracks from Bacon CLettuce and Soiled Loincloths and they were pretty awful. Petrucci's guitar playing in the opener sounded like Warren Haynes at times... not too bad. Then there was Peart's growls... what the hell? The final insult was the sh*t poor keyboard part in the second track. Oh and the fact it was just Power Metal that somehow reminded me of Linkin' Park in a weird way (meaning it sounded nothing like them but I had a Linkin' Park song in my head after I listened to those first two tracks). I may attempt to listen to the rest but I don't want my head to asplode. -------------

A triple post: just for my darling Henry The war on Terror is pointless. Why the hell are there even troops in Afghanistan? Seriously. There's even less of a point of them being there than in Iraq (and we shouldn't have been there either!). Seriously. The Terrorists are on the Internet. That's how they work. They're all over the world. They sometimes go to Pakistan though but nobody would dare invade Pakistan (and I'm not suggesting that either). Leave the terrorists alone and they may actually leave us alone. Invading them, killing them or whatever, will just make things work. -------------

 I've been saying that for years!All that money the US has spent on wars should be used on securing our borders. And NO not walls for those mexicans we hate oh so much, but true border control and money for airports. Not to mention leaving Iraq, Afghanistan eventually and moving all our bases and troops out. We are making more terrorism by being there. Now back to why Dream Theater is the greatest band ever in history. |

the war in Iraq is one of history's greatest foibles. There was no reason to invade and it's killed more people than 9/11 did. Dark Side Of The Moon - like it or not - is one of the best produced albums of all time.

Well I've been thinking along similar lines as well. However, it was what Diane Abbot said on television last night that made me convinced. She said that the terrorists work on the Internet and could live anywhere in the world. Also, when was the last really serious bit of terrorism in the west? I am sure there is something planned but there's not been anything happen for ages. It's all just stupid hype. And yep, far too many innocents have died for no reason whatsoever. -------------

I might try and listen to Black Custard and Soiled Loincloths later... not sure. Mike, the war in Afghanistan is also pointless. What are we fighting for? It's a war against Islam, not a war against terrorism. That's 'cause apparently we're all racist bigots. -------------

BC & SL!?!? DONT DO IT!!!! And at least Afghanistan I could understand. The taliban was clearly training, at the very least harboring, terrorists. Iraq was not. Though if I was President I would probably go a little harder in Afghanistan, set the deadline for 18 months and start moving out then. You guys know the Wolfowitz Doctrine? In short it calls for: Pre-emptive war, uni lateral action, Iraq, oil Bush's ENTIRE foreign policy was decided 7 years before he was in office.... I also found it great Papa Bush didnt pursue invading Iraq the 1st time, saying it would be a total mess and impossible to manage.  |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: July 17 2009 at 13:08
|
No, the training takes place in Pakistan as well. Actually, mostly in Pakistan. When we invaded Afghanistan I didn't think we should have. Most people though didn't seem to mind. Then we had an illegal war in Iraq as well. Just to rub it in even more. Most people did mind. -------------

Hey like I said, my goal would be to eventually leave Afghanistan as well, not to mention all our bases and troops from the middle east. Wasn't one of their big beefs was that we had troops and bases stationed in Saudi Arabia?? Anyway, yea leave the Middle East and the scale back in defense spending should be used for things at home, or beefing up our domestic security. Wait James...aren't you in England? I thought you guys left Iraq some time ago |

| Afganistan is like a big beefy guy full of pride beating the sh*t out of some small guy who rear ended him in his car out of spite for the guy driving a hummer around and destroying the world. It was provoked, but a lot of people are just watching going "stop! Stop! He's already deaaaad!!" |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh

We have left Iraq but we shouldn't have even been there in the first place. In fact, we invaded illegally and Blair should be up for war crimes. 8 British troops have died this week in Afghanistan. That's more than have ever died in Iraq in a week (as far as I am aware). And they weren't killed my Afghans but roadside bombs. -------------

Well duh we all know we should not have been there.... and I really do hope Dick Cheney gets charged with this illegal CIA thing he did. If we couldn't bust him on war crimes get him in jail somehow!!! Eh, enough of this. The SR should be for music/dumb antics and lolcats  |

As much as it pains me, and believe me it does....I have to agree with Henry. Eventually we have to leave Afghanistan, and Iraq did distract us from it, but why James should we not have gone in to begin with? That was one of the few times I actually thought it was right. Unless you're going with the "war on terrorism should be on terrorists, not countries" which I agree with, but the Taliban WAS a terrorist organization. And no Henry, if you havn't figured out how I work let me tell you: The more you say "stop" the more I will continue, ESPECIALLY if you show it annoys you. |

Islamic extremists (suicide) bombed a hotel in Jakarta. At least 8 dead, many more injured. Just to go to the BBC homepage, I'm sure it's a top story. |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: July 17 2009 at 14:50
No, you're right. It's a war on terrorism. Not a war on a country. I want to get rid of the Taliban/Al-Quaida as much as everyone but they went about it the wrong way. You don't bomb the crap out a country just to try and kill an organisation that may or may not have been there in the first place. Besides, if Osama had been killed, it wouldn't have been the end of it anyway. It's not just about Afghanistan. There's terrorists in the UK. There's Terrorists in America. Do we then bomb those places? No, of course not. So why bomb Tora Bora, Kandahar, Helmand and all those other places, hoping to stop terrorists that have likely moved to Pakistan and the rest of the world? It may have been a threat initially but it's not so much now. I'm not saying give up entirely. I'm saying there approach it a different way. -------------

Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: July 17 2009 at 14:52
That's awful news. And to answer your question. They didn't deserve to be bombed. It wouldn't have mattered if we were in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or nowhere at all, they'd still have bombed there. That's the problem with this form of terrorism. It's almost impossible to stop. But bombing the crap out of somewhere and killing civilians (with guns, tanks, helicopters and whatever else) isn't the answer either. -------------

Pink Floyd is the most boring of the big classic prog bands IMO. Animals might be the only album of theirs I could give anything higher than 3 stars. And DSotM is an album that I've never really understood, even when I used to like PF. Edit: Nick Mason is one of the worst drummers ever amirite? -------------

Sean Malone isn't one of my favorite bassists, but he's one of my favorite Chapman Stick musicians. Although that doesn't say much considering that 1) I've only heard probably 5 or 6 other musicians play Chapman Stick and 2) Tony Levin = Master of the Chapman Stick, and all other are irrelevant. Edit: If triple posts from James annoy Henry, will triple posts from me annoy him as well? I suppose we'll find out... -------------
