Gotta preface this with a sort of apology: this response is long and quotes many posts. See, when you're stuck over the unfashionable side of the world where the time is all wrong (yeah Batty I know!) you wake up to see all the discussion that has been going on for hours and hours while you were asleep, and by the time you've read through like THIRTY ****ING PAGES of posts, marking the ones you want to respond to, well, you've got one long-ass post!
Nevertheless, there are things I wish to respond to here, some serious, some in no way so, and as I've only just now got to the last post here is where I go in...
Note: Another apology if I'm opening up or commenting on topics deemed to be closed: you can't tell an Irishman the bar is closing!

just my honest opinion, not like i give a **** if you let sansa post or not cause i found her irritating a lot of the time tbh.

I think the lively, if at times unproductive discussion here disproves that, and I have never heard that forums are on the way out. What do you mean, you have no cassettes for my 8-track?

First, I have no idea how much money you have, but it isn't necessarily the case that a Republican government means lower taxes for you. To some extent it's an issue of what's spent where, and if you'd like a tiny bit less spent on the military and a tiny bit more spent on helping those in need, I'd suggest voting for the Democrats. Second, the government has the means to do good far beyond what you do. This isn't to belittle anything you do to help people, but the government has the ability to do things that you simply can't. Third, to this argument about how it isn't real good being done because your heart isn't in it, try telling that to the people (hint: everyone) who are helped by tax revenue. "Well, I would have loved for your kids to have schools that aren't falling apart, for your roads to not be filled with potholes, for you to be able to feed your family, but I thought tax money wouldn't actually make a difference unless my heart was really in it."
Tl;dr: You might have the privilege of saying you don't want to pay taxes because you don't think you do good by paying them, but I'm telling you that none of this is meaningless to the people who are helped.
Of course, all of this assumes that your thoughts on the two parties, which I disagree with, are right, but whatever.

While I don't agree with anyone taking Roxy to task over her politics, this is an incredibly well-written piece from, let's remember, someone who has yet to hit fifteen.

Try having to hold the cigarette and ashtray for your sister while she smokes, trying not to blow the smoke in your face while you choke. Be thankful you only have to suffer short periods of smoke inhalation: I have to go through that at least five times a day, and I HATE smoking!!!

Unless you pay me money.
But I'm looking forwards to getting to know the lot of you lunatics. The normal people, I'm not interested in.

I like this guy

Vegangelica:
I'm really really intending on getting that mix breakdown for you. I'm sorry for being so late, but it's really REALLY a lot of work! Much more than the mix itself. Anyway, I think your music is pretty good and I'm glad to have an opportunity to be involved with it even on strictly an experimental level.
Vanilla:
You can improve your face by drawing your eyebrows less close together. Let's say, no eyebrows crossing the nose width barrier? Just a thought. Also the red lipstick is a bit much. Otherwise, I miss talking to you. CAN'T IMAGINE WHY YOU DON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE. lol... Seriously, don't worry, I mean no harm.
I had a long response prepared for this, but given that a) you'd just give me the same sort of non-response you did before and I don't want to fight with you and b) the issue is sort of closed, let me just say this:
Jess (both of them) are the most beautiful creatures with or without makeup, because underneath (as well as outwardly of course) they are shining examples of what it means to be a human being. Also, they're both incredibly hot.
Batlord:
I dunno man, I like you. F uck off.
Trollheart:
Ah you. You. You're such a darling. Love the effort. You're a boon to this site, but only if you stick to talking about music rather than having opinions about basically anything else. Still, you're grand. Let's have an awkward high-five some day.
Briks:
I remember this one video I saw of you. After that, I basically think you're crazy.
Saw James recently. Glad he's back. Was always a cool kid.
Um, I don't know what else to put here. F uck off?

Noted: I will henceforth put forward no opinion on anything but music.
Note: the above statement is a lie.

Machine - Machine+'s latest release is pretty sweet man.
Chula Vista - I get the feeling you're a good guitarist but I haven't heard any of your stuff. Also, you seem to be a little click happy on the "new thread" button.
Plankton - Is definitely a G at guitar, I liked your homage to Hagrid especially.
Frownland - You're in one of my favourite bands, you're intelligent, you're funny, you're incredibly attractive, and oh so humble.

Thanks man.

You are trying to not look like the person who said I look like a tranny but sorry it's too late for that.

You don't. Or if you do, the most beautiful and sexy tranny ever. I should hope to meet someone as beautiful...

i guess it really boils down to... women want to have their cake and eat it too. they want their primary value to be sex appeal while still getting to resent that men overlook their other qualities.
personally if a girl doesn't like my looks i won't feel great about it but at the end of the day as long as i can find other ones that i like who like me back i don't care that much tbh. it's not the most important thing to me. i will genuinely get more of a hurt ego if i sense someone way smarter than me condescending me rather than someone condescending my looks cause intelligence is really more important to me at the end of the day. that's just my criteria. everybody has theirs. it just seems like 90% women have looks as their main criteria while pretending not to.
...imo.

That's different: LiL and Batty have a banter thing going, they both know where they stand. TMK this is not the case with FD and Vanilla.

This, were it in a journal, would be my Post of the Week. Superb.

Man, I thought you were an attack helicopter?? Why can't anyone these days just be happy in their skin?
