1. What MB member would you like to meet and why?
Quite a few, so I list more than one... VeggieLover (to talk about life with while swinging on a swingset), Trauma (to enjoy the peace of being with a fellow vegan), Toretorden (to see the mites of the tundra, discuss science, and play with his four rats), Schizotypic (to commune about deep psychological stuff), Freebase Dali (to argue with, to look at his drum set-up, and to pet his cat), AwwSugar (to share sweet nothings with and to sing together). 2. What would you change about MB if you could? --I wish people wouldn't jump so quickly on suspicious-acting new members, assuming incorrectly that they are here to troll. While I understand current members probably get jaded by all the many and obvious attempts made to spam and self-promote, I still recommend giving all new members the benefit of the doubt until a rule is broken, and then simply state for them that the rule was broken. I wish members would not post suspicions of others on the boards in threads and would only act when a rule is broken. --Ensure people abide by the no rudeness or name-calling rule and hold all equally responsible for following that rule...but if an apology is given and accepted, then the infraction is negated. 3. Name a new MB mod and why choose this individual? --Adidasss (who was a mod once, right?)--he's friendly and interesting, his avatars are easy on the eyes, and he loves MB. 4. What turns you off about the opposite gender? Hmmm...that sometimes they seem to think there is a particular way their gender is supposed to be. 5. Do you believe in fate or is life a series of accidents? I'm a materialist...I feel the universe is simply composed of matter/energy following natural law, which involves uncertaintly/unpredictability in where particles will next be a moment from now...so the future cannot be known with certainty. I see no evidence that humans are fated to undergo particular experiences in their lives (other than death)...so I never think things "happen with a purpose." I do not believe in "free will" (all my atoms, ions, electrons, etc., that are my mind creating thoughts, are just following natural law), however we have the illusion of "free will" and thus experience a sense of free will and can definitely feel like we are using it to make choices that determine to a large degree what happens in our lives...assuming we are affluent enough to have many choices. 6. What makes you angry? --When people deny the obvious, ignore reality, and don't consider deeply how they decide what reality is. --When people hurt and/or kill sentient beings, such as when people cut the private parts of children (male and female) and when people kill and eat non-human animals. --When people in developed countries have more than two kids, since each child here uses up the resources of approximately 10 kids in Sub-Saharan Africa, and increasing the human population makes life harder for everyone (all species).

1. What MB member would you like to meet and why? Vegangelica for sure, help me sort out some stuff in my life I was gonna say Freebase Dali but prolly not cuz i can't handle the drunkenness for very long and def. Dr.Suessicide cuz hes a nerd like me and I think we'd get along well. There's more i wouldn't mind, but these are the ones that actually talk with me 2. What would you change about MB if you could? Mostly i would change me...i don't really know the kind of stuff about music that makes it worth it to post in the actual music threads. A lot of the times it just seems like we're going "oh, thats sick music" or "such and such a band SUCKS!" without backing it up or allowing for different tastes. But.... meh. 3. Name a new MB mod and why choose this individual? couldn't say... 4. What turns you off about the opposite gender? Most of these apply to all humans, not just males: -when they lead you on just to get some (never happened to me, but did to my best friends) -When they objectualize bodies or judge based on limited perceptions -when pot (or booze or tobacco, what have you) is more important than me -im not a big fan of the steroidal-type muscles or the surfer-boy tan. I like the fit-but-not-ripped pale guys.... dky -low IQs and when more than 50% of their words are slang or "umm." "like" "totally" etc 5. Do you believe in fate or is life a series of accidents? I believe that each of us was created based on the balance of energy in the universe to become something vital in the structure of life. Each of us is "meant" to push or pull something one way or another to maintain the balance of things. Is this fate? no...because we can mess it up. We have the gifts, but apathy etc. can negate them. This purpose can be fufilled despite tragedy, mistakes, etc. as long as we are willing to play the game. "Accidents" maybe, idk, i don't really believe in that cuz if i was just a walking sack of flesh and nerves i would be dead.... obviously I'm supposed to do SOMETHING because im still here despite my incredible stupidity. 6. What makes you angry? Disrespect. The only times i've become angry enough to yell have been based on that. That gets connected with apathy, and lack of a sense of responsibility. Everything we do affects other people and most people don't care to remember that. Also, my own stupidity and hypocrisy makes me mad. My lack of sleep etc.

1. What MB member would you like to meet and why?
There's a lot of interesting cats, but I think the idea is to pick one... So, I'll say dreadnaught. She is awesome- 'nuff said. 2. What would you change about MB if you could? MB should do online radio. Broadcast a few shows to cover the major genres. Broaden our musical horizons. That would be excellent. 3. Name a new MB mod and why choose this individual? Me, because I would rule with an iron fist as well as a gentle caress. 4. What turns you off about the opposite gender? Fake tan, fake breasts, too much makeup, largeness, seeing them drunk when I'm sober, girls who come on too strong/desperate. There's a lot I like though 5. Do you believe in fate or is life a series of accidents? I exercise my free will by choosing to believe in fate. Is that a paradox? I've always wanted to create one of those... 6. What makes you angry? So much anger about to be unleashed: dancing shows, conservative conservatives, religious who only accept their religion as the way, the Anaheim Ducks- most notably Corey Perry, Tim McCarver, Skip Bayless, Michael Bay, the fact that it's taboo to make fun of little people but it's okay to comment on tall people's height (same with fat people and skinny people), rat tails (unnecessary, I want to cut them off), anybody who does any harm to kids, **** Cheyney, corruption, auto-tune, "bros", New Moon/Twilight, people who don't respond to texts, mayonnaise, condiments in general, people who drive slow in the left lane on freeways, the entire month of February (sorry Black people , fwiw it ain't because of you), how much money controls us, 8 am classes, people who offer to pay for something because I'm poor- I don't like feeling like a charity case, "green-washing", popped collars, Mobsters/Mafia Wars/FarmVille/Any game on facebook that blows up my NewsFeed, death as a drug side effect, cereal packaging- which is hard to tear open often resulting in random tears that make pouring the flakes hard, CSI and other crime shows, TIM TEBOW!, people who get snobby during a game like beer pong- just drink the ****ing keystone it only cost $12 so deal with it, professors who have garbage lectures and take attendance- grabbing you by the balls with an attendance sheet, paper cuts, tiny dogs, large cats, when blind squirrels find nuts in poker, tuition increases, dumb people on Cash Cab, Pluto not being a planet, legroom on airplanes/buses, Beans from Even Stevens.............. Oh man, but don't get me started on things that make me angry.

1. What MB member would you like to meet and why?
Everyone I chat on AIM with. Kirby, Gunnels, Thrice, Sodacake, Anteater, Awwsugar, swell guys the bunch of them. 2. What would you change about MB if you could? Try to get it more active, create a video game section, ban half of the members. Hey, I already did that last one. 3. Name a new MB mod and why choose this individual? Kirby, great guy and he's friendly to everyone. 4. What turns you off about the opposite gender? When they have opinions. j/k How about never having sex with me? That'll do for now. 5. Do you believe in fate or is life a series of accidents? I'm not an athiest, but I believe that if there's a god he dosen't plan everything out like people want to believe. I think the idea of everything in the universe being pawns to a big ego battle between two omnipotent beings is not only stupid but insulting. 6. What makes you angry? I'm sorry, we have a 10,000 character limit. |
