Info on u guys! That means everyone!

[Barreta_jetstream1]

Who are u guys? what is the idea behind your name and signiture? (i don't mean to pry, i'm just curoius)
O.K. i'll start the ball rolling. my name is just my e-mail address without the @hotmail.com at the end. my signiture is one line from the radiohead song paranoid android. it is the bit in the background done on a comuter while thom york sings "Hu? whats that?"

Next!

[Zeppelin]

the nick should be from "led zeppelin" as you may guess
the signature is from a song called "boot hill" i cant recall right now who wrote this song, but i know the version by SRV from the sky is crying album

[Raskolnikov]

You can get a pretty good idea about me here (http://redrival.com/macboy/boccewagon/john.html), on my band's web page.

As for the SN, Raskolnikov is the main character in Crime and Punishment... I kinda feel like an axe murder when I'm on the internet chatting, so it seemed a fitting SN. It's also my name on pro-rock.com (Clutch's web page).

By now the signature should make a little more sense.

[Lordathestrings]

The name comes from a D'Addario promo T-shirt issued about 15 years ago. J.R.R. Tolkien's estate probably sued them over it. Some folks just have no sense of hee-haw :rolleyes:

My favourite satirist, Terry Pratchett, entitled one of his books 'Soul Music'. The title got taken rather litterally by some of the characters, while they were playing "music with rocks in".....hmm, maybe you had to be there.

[Bardsley]

My name is actually my middle name. I spent 16 years of my life being embarrassed by it and the last three getting to quite like it. It's got a certain "so ugly it's cool" sort of ring to it, or at least I have started to think that way. My signature changes from time to time, this is a line from Bob Dylan's 4th time around, which seems to be aimed at the Beatles... He didn't always get along with them, and 4th time around seems to be a bit of a rip off of Norweigan Wood. It's all too odd, but it's a nicely acerbic statement that in no way reflects my desire to help others. Hee hee.

[guitarmik]

my nick just comes from my love for the guitar and my first name,pretty dull huh!

[educatedfilm]

my nick name is same as my e-mail adress, as well (missing the @hotmail.com bit). It's a snow patrol song "an educated flim by".

My signature... well i couldn't really think of anything that doesn't sound like it's just been lifted out of a song like other poeple's (nothing wrong with it, i just want to put my own comment in), and i was sick of finding that lefty guitars all cost about +10% extra (and upwards), and alot of realy nice guitars aren't made lefty.

Which brings me to another point i'm gonna start a new thread about now....
bye

[Willdridge]

My nickname's my surname. When I started secondary school (high school...) there were that many Chris' that people started coming up with nicknames. Willdridge seemed the most logical for me!
As for my sig...I just came up with it one day...literately, ignore me long enough and I will go away! I was thinking of changing it soon, but we'll see...
Next!

[Led Zeppelin]

My name is self-explainatory.

My signature is a quote from "God" by John Lennon. Its just a great quote by a genius. Who's with me?

[blackrose]

lennon was a psycho, not a genius.

[Bardsley]

And Lenin was a genius, not a psycho...
I actually think John Lennon was both, as a lot of people are.

[howie50]

Everybody calls me Howie, I like really cheesy 70's detective series, especially the theme tunes so howie50 sounds like Hawaii Five Oh. My signature is a thing that Keith Richard once said although I may have misquoted him a little. I think he meant that Rock'n'Roll is not exactly rocket science, peoplr take it too seriously it's only meant to be fun so lighten up.

[howie50]

I sort of agree with Bardsley on the genius/psycho thing. You know, there's a fine line between genius and madness, take say Bob Dylan and Neil Young, people think they're great cos they play the guitar and the harmonica at the same time. OK, now picture them playing the guitar and harmonica at the same time only now with cymbals strapped to each knee and a bass drum on their backs.............. see what I mean ?

Heeheehehehe...Why've I suddenly got Dick Van Dyke in my head?!
I think the point has been well made though. Even if it hasn't, it's given me a laugh...hehe...(ahem) Sorry.

[Lordathestrings]

Beeeoootiful! I think I know now why busking is no longer considered to be an essential part of 'payin' yer dues'. Hahahaha!

[Elmo45]

Elmo is New England for Emilio. When I lived up there a woman said my name had to many vowels so she shortened it!
45 is the caliber of bullet that a burglar will meet if he tries to steal my guitar stuff!

[MajinMojo]

mine comes from StarCraft. I play a lot of video games along with guitar. i just took my battle.net name. Majin is from DBZ and Mojo is the name of a StarCraft hero.

[stratman42]

I'm stratman cos i play a strat

42 is the meaning of life, the universe and eberything in the hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy by the late Douglas Adams

The sig just sounded cool

[Bardsley]

So that's why people keep giving me funny looks! I thought that adding the little pet mokey could only mkae me even more popular Dylan, it seems I crossed the line....

[Bastian]

My nick simply refers to the main character one of my favourite books... 'Neverending Story' who is called Bastian Baltasar Bux.

I read the book when I was only a child and I will never forget it...

[Joseph]

Well, hi guys. My name (of course) is my first name, it comes from my grandmothers side of the family. I'm just a regular guy from south Florida, I was raised in the Bershires of Massachsettes, but recently I moved back down to Florida where I'm holding down a few jobs here and there making ends meet. Life is basically what you make of it, and you have to learn not to cry over petty arguments from the past, because in life there are just some things (and some people) you can't change, you just hve to learn to accept that. Overall, life is good, I'm not tied down to the point of no return, and I still have enough time to be creative with my music. I'm pretty much thankful.

-Joseph

[THE PHYRGIAN LORD]

The name as you can guess is taken from one of the seven modes of the major scale the reason i choose this is because i knew all the other people would have chosen their fav guitar heroes.signature is taken from the rock show

[mc9mm]

My name is Marcus.
How I got the nickname MC is too dumb to talk about,
but it means "Music Creator".
And the 9mm...?
Thats even worse..

[guitar_babe]

my name is guitar_babe, because i love to play the guitar, and im a babe lol! I just thought it was cute really!

[Kevin Taylor]

Schmange was something my brother said about 8 years ago. I bought my first computer and was using the built in mic to record system alert sounds. He came in & I held out the microphone to him.
He went "SCHMANGE!!", and that became my error alert for years. When I signed onto my first BBS I got caught off guard when it asked me what my online name was.
I couldn't think of anything and when I tried to sign on without one my error alert went off with "SCHMANGE!!".... so I wrote Schmange and it's been my online name ever since.
The biggest pain now though is whenever someone talks to me in person (especially Canadians eh) they always call me Schmenge, like I'm one of the Schmenge brothers from SCTV.

[PonyOne]

My nickname comes from the Deftones; before their last album, White Pony, was released, they were thinking of calling it Pony One. A little while before the CD was released, Chino, the lead singer, decided it'd be fun to freak out his fans by saying he was going to legally change his name to Pony One. I thought it was pretty funny, since everyone bought it. It has a certain ring to it, like a fighter pilot's callsign or something.

I saw the Deftones at Ozzfest and they had this enormous banner that was all red with the white shiloutte of a running and a star that kind of recalled old communist propoganda. The set played from sundown to night, and after it started getting darker, they had lights of verious colors behind the banner going off, it looked really f-ing cool. My saying is because I'm not vegan and I never will be, and though I'm vegetarian and thus can kind of, sort of can see where they're coming from when they bitch me out for having cheese on my burrito, I'll never cave in (to me, it's not about the ethics, it's about how now I weigh 190 pounds instead of 275).

I'm an 18-year old high school dropout of Swedish/German descent who practices the Jewish faith, and was raised in and around Seattle, WA, USA. The area we lived in from when I was ten till I was 14, Auburn, a small pit that's totally segregated in all ways possible, shaped a lot of my outlook on life and the way I express myself in my music; I guess you could say that I traded my gun for an SG. Though I still have a gun, it no longer defines how I look at myself; I now look at myself as an artist and someone who has a legitimate, unique vision and way of thinking, rather than another kid in the gang of other kids with a gun and nothing to lose.

The song "We Die Young" by Alice in Chains is about the area I lived in; read the lyrics, you'll understand where I'm coming from.

[skee1]

Skeet is my nickname,thats why i picked skee1.

Mark

[Hootayah]

I got Hootayah from an old tape recording I made when I was a kid. I was at Niagara Falls with my parents and had my cassette deck with me and was recording the sound of the falls when somebody in the background in a really high voice kept shouting Hootayah!! At the time it really pissed me off cause it ruined my recording but ever since then whenever I lisen to that tape it totally cracks me up cause all you hear is this roaring sound and then Hootayah!!! It's sorta become my official cheer now whenever I'm at a baseball game or whatever.

[John O'Carroll]

I guess mine doesn't need any explanation.

[zepp_rules]

my name is zepp_rules, because, well, they do!!!

[PeptoB]

Pepto B for Pepto Bismol because I'm lactose intolerant. Anyone who's looking for a fast relief from unexpected diarhea, Pepto B stops right where it starts.
The best quote I've ever come across was one of the Murphy's Laws that goes,
'Smile. Tomorrow will be worse.'

[Benoit]

My name is Benoit as you may have noticed from my user name. My English is not always the best but it should get the job done.

The signature is from me. That`s my way of thinking.
I treat every new guitarist I have the chance to meet the same way, with the same respect towards their technics. We all have to learn from each other as we do not play with the same emotion. When your able to tap into your emotions and channel them through your instrument, THAT`S MUSIC!

OK enough delusion... let`s get back to business

[Siren Lydian]

My nick name is Siren Lydian and I'm confident I'm the only one on the entire internet who picked this nick. On some boards it appears as SirenLydian (all together).
But you can be sure that would be me. I picked Lydian because is my favorite mode in music and I use it quite a lot in my compositions. Also to me the Lydian mode is very feminine and it fits my character (I'm a very feminine girl).
And Siren is ....well, just perfect for me. I kill people with my music. LOL, specially when my guitar goes out of tune! :P

-Siren

[viktor]

My nick is my first name so I wouldn't forget it...

The signature basically says what I want right now, except for the effect box I'll soon buy and a million bux. Oh and girl :-)...

[playmyfender]

If i told u my name i wud have to kill u, im a student (not a lazey one!), use my guitar to relax when i can and the idea behind my signature was that i believe anyone can achieve anything if they try!
later!

The Schmenge brothers rule! Do you play the accordion, too?

[Y.R.O]

my nick comes from an old racer x tune.easy to remember.
my signature recalls an unplesant incident involving a hungry 'poppet' a parsnip and two stuffed baby potatos.

[monty]

My nick comes from that madcap comedy show which changed the world, (at least humour-wise).
The show taught me a very important lesson- everything in the world is to be laughed at. Not in a mean nelson HA! HA! kind of way but in in a "I'm funny, you're funny so why not laugh?"
Anyway, my nick is a reminder to myself that its sometimes important to take a step back from the world, and all the sh1t within, make a rude noise and have a giggle to yourself.

As for my signature, I made it up. It sounded cool at the time and forms part of my ever evolving philosophy on life.
Dont get caught up in everything else, live your life aswell.

[metalisbest]

I'm a memeber to so many different things, I just ran out of names and just made up this one cuz I like metal and its best.

[Incidents Happen]

Talk about bringing a thread out of the bottom of the trash can!!!:D

[Josh Redstone]

Josh Redstone is my real name. I just couldn't think of a decent nickname, plus I think its kind or a neat name. I did a phone book search on the web and there are only 30 or so Redstones in Canada

[Incidents Happen]

i wonder how many limestones there are? :D

[Josh Redstone]

Oh yeah, and my sig is just something I thought sounded cool. I'm not one of these religious anti rock n roll guys or something.

[Incidents Happen]

woah

i thought you got that from the bible:D



my sn comes from the String Cheese Incident little phrase "hey, Incidents Happen!"

[Josh Redstone]

I think it would be cool if they had my sig in the bible.

[jesse sutton]

okay my nickname, happens to be... my real name. shocked?
i didnt think so. i'd say that it is as lame/dull/boring as it could possibly be, but i couldn't think of a nickname that suited me any better then my real name. go figure.

and my signature? well, it just so happens that i had sex with an incredibly beautiful women once (yes i am bragging and i am happy to do so) and since then i made it my personal goal to always be on the lookout for beautiful women. so, for anyone lucky enough to make love to a gorgeous lady, they would know that it becomes one of the true marvellous experiences of life

well i think so anyways.

jesse sutton (canada kicks ass)

[Lordathestrings]

As our own Pierre Berton said: "A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe." :D

[Incidents Happen]

lol.

dude you should become a pornstar.

[^Chacron^]

My nickname comes from a dreamcast game.....Sonic the Hedgehog 2 actually. As a sub-game you get to raise these little cyber creatures called 'Chao' and race them.....one of the computerised ones on the more advanced levels is called Chacron. I chose it coz I kinda like the sound of it.

[iiholly]

How many people chose to post on this thread goes to show you that people like talking about themselves. I don't mean to say that to put anyone down, because I like talking about myself too.
My nick name is about the same as every other account i have hobba, yahoo, aol, ect, ect, ect. It's my first name (yes i was named after a shrub(it is a sad world). I'm not really sure what the ii means.
My signature is derived from one of my favorite philosphy type things. If you put a cat in a box with no air it's not dead until you open it. That was quite graphic so in fourth grade or earlier i made up water isn't wet until you touch it. That's been my personal quote since then.

[Incidents Happen]

holly, check out Ghandi. here's one my my quotes that i paraquote from him

"You labour under a limitation when you think of a being or entity who is beyond the power of a man to grasp."

[Josh Redstone]

Have any of you philosophy types ever heard of lucid dreaming? Just curious. Stuff like that really makes you question your reality and surroundings. Very neat.

[Incidents Happen]

check out George Orwell's "1984" for some realllly weird ideas.

[PonyOne]

he who goes to sleep with an itchy arse wakes up with smelly fingers.

If i turn my headlights on at lightspeed, will anything happen?

I liked A Clockwork Orange. Fight Club was pretty cool as well.

[PonyOne]

I actually have had nothing but lucid dreams for almost my entire life. It's pretty neat, although it can suck as well. Nightmares ARE NOT COOL. Basically, I guess the best way to describe it is, I have a mind that can construct an entire world complete with its own societies, traditions and nuances of life, and I can seem like I am in it for even months.

But what happens if it's a particularly bad world? I recall once dreaming I was alone in the mountains and there were these things that esentially looked like humans, aside from having no facial features whatsoever, that were out to get me. There was another one where there were these things that looked sort of like a white sheet blowing through the sky, but they were sentient, and would wrap around a person and then unfurl again, and the person would be gone... crap like that.

Dreams are very interesting. I'd type mor eabout them but at the moment I'm really tired...

[iiholly]

Read George's book Animal Farm, and you will see weirdness (but no philosphy).

[Lordathestrings]

Read his 1984, and you will realize that he was only off by about 20 years! :p

[Zeppelin]

the animal farm is like 1984, no big difference but much funnier because you can use nazi quotes from it when you want to impress people :) :)

[Josh Redstone]

Just curiose about the lucid dreaming thing. I have only met one other person besides myself who practices it. Its a shame.
Most people dont give it a chance cause they think its silly, or it cant be done.
I started just out of curiosity, but then it turned into just wanting to see what my mind will throw at me next. Like an adventurous thing.
I'm very buisy nowadays so I'v taken a break and I'm gonna start fresh in about a week.

[iiholly]

Isn't animal from more closely based on stalin and the russian revolution? It is close to hitler to, but it's very directly aimed at Stalin. In fact I know it's the rightg answer, because we're studying in my english class like right now (we had to read the book over the summer).

[Incidents Happen]

lord, i read 1984 like 100 times, its my all time favorite book...
what is scary is that the government is doing things that are reflecting things in 1984 (they are starting to).

For instance-
1.) the government is doing mind control experiments in a bunker in Montaw.
2.) The Japanese have issued ID cards to each citizen
3.) the TIPS program

and it will continue, those bastards!

[iiholly]

I'm sure you would have different view if you were from there. Cultural understanding is very important. For example, we would be plus twin towers and part of the pentagon if Al Queda had a better cultural understanding of us.

yeaaaaaaaaaaah riiiiiiighttttt.

who fed that into your mouth? They understand us culturally, they don't like us because we are the world police, and the tanks in mecca (we had TANKS IN MECCA;!!!;), thats like the USA rolling tanks into Jerusalim (sp?) or the russians rolling tanks into Washington DC, just leaving them there with armed units, how hostile do you think you'd feel?

They are bastards, i'll give you that. But!!! Every one of the 19 al quaida that helped in the destruction of our buildings was ON FBI WATCH. They knew who these people were, knew that every single one of them was attending flight school!
If you believe the government knew nothing about this, your just as gullable as they want you to be.

[iiholly]

I never said I didn't think the government intelligence didn't know about it, but I don't really think they did know that some terrorist were going to use are planes to crash into a few of our buildings. I believe they would of prevented it.
And I still stand behind cultural misunderstandings, but I also do think our foriegn policy sucks. There is deffinetely no black and white in this.

[Incidents Happen]

Originally posted by iiholly

As you know, George Bush is a CEO of an oil company (i dont know what its called, but he is), and his company, now that the Taliban are out, have permission to run a 1600 mile pipe of oil through afghanistan, which will make him even more richer. Also, Cheney's company Halliburton, has relations with Iraq, which may have relations with Al Quaida, so therefore Cheney is supplying money to Al Quaida (possibly> not directly though).

[iiholly]

Unless you don't use oil... you really have nothing to say about them buying it. I mean we can't just not have oil. And if you want to believe that is America is all about conspiracy you do that. Yes, the government is corrupted, but what government isn't?

apparently you haven't done your research on efficient fuels. the seeds in marijuana, when mixed properly, provide a safe, efficient form of oil (you just have to get your car modified to do it). and this could be possible once the government lets us smoke in peace.

[iiholly]

I don't have time to research marijuana fuel. I mean really... I try to be interested in current events, but then I realize it doesn't even matter what I think in the end. I mean really what is a middle class, under-aged, female going to do? So I just "chill" and hope that my life doesn't get messed up.

iiholy has the right idea though. The world is controlled by an oligarchy of super-rich people and companies, and it really doesn't matter what run-of-the-mill people like us think. Most of us are too busy trying to survive in our little lives to have a clue, and those who do are "crackpots".

[PonyOne]

Incidents,

You mixed up the "q" in Iraq with the "n" in iran... because that's where halliburton's ties are. I mean, would osmeone as insanely obsessed with attacking iraq as Dubya actually side with someone who's doing business with them?

Okay, just a personal assessment... the merits of Marijuana are grossly blown out of proportion. Hemp (IT'S NOT WEED PEOPLE) is good for ropes and clothing, and THC has its medicinal benefiets, which are offset by the lung cancer you get from smoking it (in a pill form, it's okay). Don't trust anything you read on a LEGALIZE IT! activist site any more than the government says in a press release. It's all selected carefully and cut and paste so that lies can be passed off as "minor technicalities" and their cause is furthered.

And also, yeah, there was a cultural misunderstanding. See, the Afghani people are very different from Saudi and Egyptian muslims, who ended up running the nation under the Taliban, and then there was that other cultural misunderstanding, shooting women for showing skin or spreading their legs more than six inches apart avoiding puddles...

Things aren't as clear cut as they seem. Are we the best nation in the world? No (Sweden is). Did the taliban deserve a royal ass kicking? YES, OKAY, PEOPLE, THE TALIBAN AND AL QUEADA ARE NOT AFGHANI!!!!!! ARRRRGH!!!! THEY ARE COMPRISED OF RICH, EXILED WARLORDS FROM "MODERATE" MUSLIM NATIONS FOR BEING REALLY, REALLY BAD PEOPLE.

Cultural misunderstandings abound, whatever, there's no excuse for flying a plane into a tower filled with civilians who had nothig to do with anything.

So a few Afghanis died, oops, it's a war... and most afghani's are okay with it, they no longer are at risk of being shot for being an infidel (whatever that means).

Okay, I'm going to go cool it.... out.

[Josh Redstone]

Lets not forget the THC level in hemp is so low you could never get high off it. Its legal in Canada, but you have to have a permit to farm it. Weird. And Marijuana, its medicinal use is pretty much fine with everyone.

[Lordathestrings]

What no one in the White House seems to have caught yet, is that they are following Osama Bin Laden's plans. His intent was to get them tangled up in a series of military engagements that would sap America's military, financial, and diplomatic resources.

First Afghanistan, now Iraq, the ongoing intfadah on the West Bank. Already, America's allies are starting to back away from a country they see as turning into an out-of-control bully.

'SoDamn Insane' is a monster, but he's not a threat to the world. If the US was serious about stopping Islamic terrorism at the source, they'd be making some very pointed assesments of Saudi involvement. It is not a coincidence that Osama, and most of the 9/11 terrorists, were Saudi. As in most investigations of major criminal organisations, follow the money. A lot of it, possibly most of it, comes from Saudi Arabia.

well excuse me man but one of Henry ford's first cars ran on this hemp oil formula, very inexpensive and had good mileage. then the government illigalized marijuana and hemp all-together...

yes! especially in Vancouver, police have almost stopped arresting people who smoke herb, as long as its not you know, something outrageous and high-profile.

and its medicinal use is above alot of other medical drugs, so in the USA thats like taking away a diabetic's insulin. think about it.

[PonyOne]

THC isn't what gets you high. That buzz you get when you smoke id NOT the medicinal benefiet.

THC is a good anti-nausia medicine for people going through chemo and other medical issues. My girlfriend got some kind of bizzare infection, which made her tired, nautious, sick and swollen, so the docs gave her some antibiotics and then a bottle of anti-nausia medicine. What was rediculous was that the anti-nausea medicine had nausea and diarrhea as a side effect. Brilliant, neh? She didn't take it.

THC is effective as an antinausea medicine, again, especially for chemo patients, who are having radiation SURGE THROUGH THEIR BODIES. THC, concentrated, alleviates some of the pain of the whole process of going through what i can presume is one of the most fearful times of your life.

But the THC is administered in a pill form, NOT SMOKED. THC in pills is extra-mega-super-concentrated; a THC pill contains as much THC as a ziploc bag (pizza sized!) full of weed, and, having had an aunt who died of cancer, I can tell you that THC pills didn't do much to make her feel better. If a chemo patient smokes weed, they get a tiny bit of THC and a good buzz, and a bunch of respritory problems, culminating in cancer, and more chemo.

Think about it.

The only medicinal value marijuana has is allowing you to fool yourself into thinking you have no problems for an hour or two. Thanks, I like to go through my life in total control of myself, knowing what I'm going to do.

You wnat medicinal value? Stop eating meat. I'm healthier for it. Take lots of vitamins, drink your Gatorade and OJ. Don't inhale smoke.

BTW, the hemp fuel actually wasn't as great as High Times would have you think. Gasoline wasn't even much of anything at the time that Henry Ford made his first car; if memory calls corect, a good number of his early Model T's ran on good old, dog-choking Kerosene. If hemp oil was great, he would have used it. What they fail to mention is that hemp oil has about as much of a flashpoint as a bottle of Coke, meaning that, for ten gallons of hemp oil you could go twenty miles... at two miles an hour! Look out, pedestrians, here I, the bloated plutocrat, come tearing down the street in my Ford-Machine at the speed of an earnest tortoise, running on a non-marijuana derived fluid-fuel! It's a good thing I own a rope company!

There is however a soybean-derived Diesel fuel that offers numerous benefiets; it burns cleaner, meaning a cleaner environmet and longer engine life, take less to power a car so you get more mpg PLUS, you get added torque, which tnnaslates to more loadbearing ability as well as higher acceleration and top speed.

Here in California, there are special gas stations that you can fill up on it with. A lot of truck companies use it because it's more cost effective and aids emissions, plus, the trucks have to go in for engine work less (they tend to use a 75-25 mixture of soy and diesel, respectively). My friend Josh is big into car tuning, and once got to try out a VW Jetta Turbodiesel burning soydiesel that had some mods done to it, and said that he got from 0-60 in six seconds... up a hill.

An infidel is a disbeliever of something understood; I know this cause it's one of my vocab. words in Success Skills :D.

[Josh Redstone]

About the infidel thing, I think it actually means that your against the religion of whoever hates you. Thats why all those terorrists call everyone infidels, they arent of the same religion they are. Most of this nonsense is about religion. Thats stupid, not everyone else in America is Christian or whatever. I live in Canada and I'm as far away from religious as you can get. (I dont meen I'm some satanist, I'm just not religious)
And the THC thing, think of all the stuff they put in ciggarettes, tar, cyonide, all kinds of crap. Thats what causes the resporatory trouble. Given the choice between a clean joint or a cigarrette, I'd take the joint(I'm not a pothead)
Half the medicinal marijuana stuff making you feel better is all psycological.

A broader meaning of the whole "infidel" thing... when it's used by Muslim fundamentalists, often, it's more or less a combination of what both of you are suggesting.

In the context they're using, the Infidel is someone who has misunderstood something stated, i.e., the word of Mohammed via the Quran. So, an infidel is someone who is not muslim. However, just like the Nazis taking out blacks and Jews first and eventually movin gon to the Spanish, Italian and Slavic, if they got rid of all non-Muslims, then they'd start picking away at the muslims who weren't fundies...

Actually, smoking a joint is just as bad for your lungs... whilst not inhaling cyanide and ammonia, most joints aren't filtered. So you just get a straight hit.

It's just a bad idea to do too much of anything that your body wasn't intended to handle.

Hello my name is Jesse, I am twenty six years old from Western Washington I would say Seattle but I moved from there as soon as I could afford to in your guts is that feeling you get when you hit the right note at the perfect time or when you catch the wave of the day. I surf way to much to get anything else done and I have been unemployed for two years and I love every wave riding string bending minute of it

[PonyOne]

Wow, small world... I grew up in Seattle but spent waaaaay to long in Auburn, WA, and after wishing I was dead and being in Boston for awhile, ended up in Los Angeles.

I'm unemployed, by no forces of my own... hopefully that'll change soon...

[in_your_guts]

ouch Auburn I lived there for a couple of years the worst racist redneck city in america I also spent time in Boston I couldn't say I lived there I only stayed for about two months though as far as LA havn't been there since I was a kid well it is a small world glad to hear you no longer want to die ps if you sleep with your guitar be gentle

[PonyOne]

Yeah, my experience in Auburn was confounded by two things...

a) I was from Seattle

and

b) I dated more girls of "ethnicity" than I did white girls... got me in reeeal good with the Camelot Square Kids... Boston is a pretty boring town, actually, the racism there is just as deep seeded as Aubrun it's just that people are more refined. Kind of like South Africa.

So where exactly is it that yuo live now?

It's funny that a thread started in an effort to get to know the people in this forum turned into a political discussion.

I am not surprized at that. I am surprized it took this long.

Lennon may have been nuts but at least he was a pacifist. Lenin was nuts but he wanted good for people too, he just went about it in one really screwed up way.

George Orwell wrote some very cool **** and it was right on time... not 20 years early. The internet was not opened up by accident and it was building up speed in 1984. By the way, take a look at the publishing date of 1984.

[PonyOne]

I don't really think that Lennon was nuts, I think that he was a genius, and sometimes, unfortuantely, genius brings some strange behavior.

[iiholly]

Maybe it wasn't strange behavior. In actuallity the norm is strange.

[PonyOne]

Yeah, I remember thinking that when i went through my "strange is beautiful" phase... then i realized it was a croc...

[iiholly]

I'm not going through a phase... all my phases are the same. I just think the whole world is fake, so why can't things be warped.
