Stop quibbling over semantics and debate like a big boy, luminous. You know damn well what I meant. Okay, my meaning wasn't about semantics. It was about the fact that we're not fighting a war against Iraq. We're fighting a war against terrorism. It seems like everybody feels we're at war with the ...

Jayelle-as-mod: Hey guys, this thread title says "Rap/Hip Hop Fans" , let those who are fans discuss their music without a constant bombardment of "your music sucks". Okay...I don't see how that applies here. You started the topic in order to provoke us...you don't really find a...

luminousnerd

At what point did jayelle state that people who don't like rap can't post?

At any rate, if that is the case, then this post should be deleted, because it has no purpose...it's here just to provoke people which shouldn't be tolerated imo.

luminousnerd

Are you calling the war "Iraq"? That's completely incorrect...

luminousnerd

LN, are you sleeping with the double post fairy? Sorry about that. Yes, I have a bad habit of double posts. I'll try and quell it. The other thing that he did was counter those who disagree with him with completely pointless attacks in order to confuse the issue, instead of responding to the conten...

Luminous, it's not at all obvious to me why infinite power would by necessity mean exclusive good.

What's your point? Why are you directing this comment at me?

luminousnerd

i mean, hell. I can rap. i'm not even half bad. but it's not an art. it's talking. to a beat. sometimes fast, sometimes slow. singing is an art. playing an instrument is an art. punching buttons on a sampler... not an art. not music. rapping and hip hop are collections of sounds with talking over i...

luminousnerd

Umm. Except for the dumb lyrics and crappy sampled drums, I see nothing in rap/hip-hop that resembles music. It doesn't even resemble bad music. And every bit that even vaguely resembles music is sampled from somebody else, so "rappers" have nothing to do with music. So what you're saying...

luminousnerd

It all depends on how hard the door was slammed. There's a point where I just can't imagine living through the pain.

luminousnerd

I read the Wikipedia article and it doesn't make any sense to me. Is it possible to describe to a simpleton like myself?

luminousnerd

Individuals are cannibalistic. Species are not.

luminousnerd

Why are so few being printed o_O

luminousnerd

Certainly a LOT of power corrupts quickly.

But if you had INFINITE power, you would obviously have the power to do only good...

luminousnerd

Dude, this argument is old. Rap is music, period, no question about it. If you say it's not you're just doing so because you've heard other people say it and you decided to latch onto the idea for no reason other than to insult a form of music that you don't like. You don't have to like it, but some...

luminousnerd

Luckily that's not possible anymore...

If it'd happened back when it was possible, I would've jumped out a (first floor) window.

Actually he's really freakin good I hear. But the scripts of the new movies they call Star Wars makes anyone into a bad actor.

luminousnerd

When every time you play a video game that has multiple races or species (like the orcs, humans, elves, and undead in Warcraft) and you constantly think about the similarities between one of the races and the formics and wish they would make a EG realtime strategy game.

luminousnerd

Bean isn't a leader. No one would follow him. He could never become hegemon in the firstplace.

luminousnerd

Because Bean isn't infinitely smart. He's just smarter than any human. Doesn't make him omnipotent. He doesn't know anything about genetics and by the time he finds out he's damned to die, he doesn't have the time to learn.

luminousnerd

ooh nice!!! What medium?

luminousnerd

It frustrates me as well. In my area of the country, at least, there is very little racism against blacks left. I know there are plenty of parts where it still lingers, but for me here in my corner of Utah, not so. And therefore none of the black people I make contact with have ever been subject to ...

luminousnerd

You're missing the point. If someone doesn't like you the way you are, then they're not worth your time. Leave them and find someone who can accept you simply for being you. Including your flaws, not in spite of them. You just don't understand what it's like. That's a great philosophy when there's ...

luminousnerd

Hehe... I just got a wii today...

Noodle, can I play with your Wii?

luminousnerd

Short of super-powers, I would be uneasy changing much about myself. Certainly I am wholly opposed to changing the frivolous things and think that we are better off learning to love ourselves as we are instead of being so superficial that we need to look different to be loved. You can only see that...

luminousnerd

If you create a virus, it doesn't make a lot of sense to write one for any OS except the most prevalent one. The only reason to do otherwise is to disprove the theoretical security that one system may have over another. And that is why the only virii for Macs are the proof-of-concept ones, and not ...

luminousnerd

Wow

Congratulations!!!

And as for the subject, extreme congratulations. You don't see that much any more. Kudos bigtime.

It's like a really good historical novel, except it's about events that haven't happened yet.

You'd piss a lot of pwebbers off with that one :/

Still, they ARE good books.

luminousnerd

Are we talking only about appearance?

If so, I would shave 75 pounds off without a second thought.

If it's also a change in our attitude/personality, I would be slower to get angry, and would like to be able to separate my feelings from arguments when I need to.

luminousnerd

I dislike WoW

I was hoping I'd like it, too. The lack of a decent map, and the fact that it is entirely overpriced, add up to me playing Guild Wars instead.

luminousnerd

I didn't even bother pulling Opera out of the DMG. Not worth it.

I only like FF 'cause it does everthing. All my other browsers have one or two cool things going for them, FF has them all. I love it.

TouchÃ©.

luminousnerd

<3 Firefox 2.0

One really cool feature is that if your browser crashes, you get back all your tabs when you re-launch it.

And of course, FF popularized tabs.

luminousnerd

luminous, putting the link in the quote makes more work when we have to delete them. Although I agree with your sentiments. --EL You're not welcome here. Please pull the CAT5 cable from the back of your machine, blowtorch your machine, drive to the airport, purchase tickets to the grand canyon, and...

luminousnerd

No. At least not for those particular wishes. It seems that my "what if this" and "what if that" questions has been morphed into an assault on the integrity of OSC's work. I assure you that it is not. I enjoy his books of course, I love the way he writes, and I love the characte...

My understanding was that putting marijuana in brownies or any other recipe involved making marijuana butter and using that in the recipe, not just dropping some of the stuff in the batter and baking it like that ...Interesting... You may well be right. I've actually never had "special" b...

luminousnerd

uh... when you are talking about brownies... you aren't talking about that kind of sweet biscuit, right? :?: You haven't had brownies??? :( You poor soul! It's like a really rich chocolate cake, sometimes chewy, other times sort of crunchy, and it's very common to bake weed into the brownies (but t...

Answer me this (directed at anyone who refuses to change their name).

Your name is so important to you that you will go against the flow, take legal procedures to change it, and (potentially) upset your husband. Yet, you have troubles seeing why it is so important to ME that my wife take my name?
