Ok...a little more than one hour to go until the heavyweights battle it out...let's talk about it.... Go Obama!

Great essay by our man....discuss http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1601932,00.html

I was just watching U2 performance videos on youtube and something that keeps dawning on me is that this band has these incredible musical/emotional moments within songs. Yes, the songs on the whole are great, but there are just some amazingly spin-shivering moments. For instance: 1. Wild Horses...

Ok...so here in southern California, specifically at Disneyland, when you ride several rides you "rock out" to the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Is this selling-out? More importantly, if U2 did this, wouldn't "fans" declare that U2 was all about money, not about music?

Obama's toughest sell for White House bid may be to other blacks by Stephanie Griffith Thu Dec 21, 4:01 AM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - US political darling Barack Obama has received enthusiastic support for a possible 2008 presidential bid -- except from fellow African-Americans, a group many...

Revelations botched eyes and twisted lies torment the soul of the midnight to 4am insomniac when all i can think of is my love dreaming of the life to have and to hold is there any justice in this world? I'll point you to the map of our mercy seat tear down the cloth tear down the walls...

I've noticed a peculiar trend among many U2 fans on this website. Many are upset with the recent work of U2. Perhaps it is not innovative enough; perhaps Bono's recent lyrical production is not up to the high standard he set earlier; etc. What's interesting, though, is how some of the people...

Ok, this is long...but I'm interested in feedback... Humanism, Gynocentricism, Performativity and Liberty “All the world is a stage, And all the men and women merely players” William Shakespeare, As You Like It Perhaps nothing is more important to a philosophical and social cause as having a...

I remember reading that the band were working on Bono's lyrics during the sessions in Abbey Road. Here's a theory: the awkward rhyming sequences might be influenced by other members in the band. Some of the best lyrics that U2 has produced lately have been from unreleased songs that the band...

This is my little rant I wrote after discovering recently (tonight actually) that a dear friend has betrayed me. I think this very easily could end up as my most seemingly christian post ever..... We're told from the very beginning in church how we're sinners, good-for-nothings-without God; and...

To satisfy my as of late addiction to the RHCP, I bought their Slane Castle concert DVD. Has anyone else seen this? The director makes a concerted effort to take in as much of the landscape as possible. As much as I enjoy U2's Slane Castle dvd - there are many personable moments - I think from...

Okay, I've been working on a couple of things lately. I was raised in a conservative Christian household (dad's a pastor), so naturally I considered myself a republican for most of my youth. Of course, if you asked me about the issues (abortion, death penalty, big business, civil rights etc) I...

Ok, my girlfriend has an interesting cultural anthropology essay question for one of her classes. Do other cultures have the right to enforce their cultural norms on other societies? At first glance, one might be led to answer with a simple, no; however, considering the fact that the very notion...

Anyone here have a myspace account? We should have a myspace group...or is that a lame idea?:eyebrow:

A grave and interesting subject has recently been brought to my attention by Rep. Jim McDermott and the band Anti-Flag. Here's an essay put forth by the mentioned parties: Essay on DU from Anti-Flag's, For Blood and Empire Depleted Uranium (i.e. DU): the name implies that it is a nontoxic...

I hate how a couple of my aunts and uncles who spew "traditional family values" lectures are ignoring the fact that my grandpa is dying and hardly ever visit him. I hate how gas prices are so high. I hate how oil companies are guilty of war profiteering (and a lot of other stuff). I hate how the...

According to the New York Times: WASHINGTON, April 3 — Representative Tom DeLay, the relentless Texan who helped lead House Republicans to power but became ensnared in a corruption scandal, has decided to leave Congress, House officials said Monday night. Mr. DeLay, who abandoned his efforts to...

No....this punk band's first major label record is unbelievably great. I seriously recommend this album. If Green Day weren't about selling their logo on pj's and boxers maybe they could write an album this good. Plus, the bass player is a U2 fan and they support the ONE campaign.

Admittedly, this should go in another forum, but I'm afraid I wouldn't get fast and good information. I'm interested in knowing first week sales for Anti-Flag's For Blood and Empire CD. This is their first cd release on a major label. To make this a bit more U2 related, the bass player in this...

I know there has been a lot of speculation and some really insensitive posts recently. I just want to give U2 props for keeping their private lives private. In an age when all stars blurt out their lives for the world, it's refreshing that some people value their family's privacy. Unlike Jessica...

Okay, I know this might be a bit long, but I just wrote this for God-knows-why. I hope it stimulates conversation. Oh, by the by, I hope my comments about the British monarchy are not offensive - I love the British! Blog America's Soul: Just Devils and Dust While it may have a, well let’s face...

Ok, we've had the homosexual appreciation thread and now we have the heterosexual thread (sorry I didn't type that like I'm an idiot :wink: ). So, now we have to ask ourselves, "Selves, do we want a transgender appreciation thread, or do we want a bisexual one?" I'm eagerly waiting.......

Anybody got predictions? Here is what I'd like to see happen: Best Film: Munich Best Director: Steven Speilberg Best Actor: Heath Ledger/Philip Seymour Hoffman - I love both of these performances, it's impossible to choose Best Actress: Felicity Huffman Best Supporting Actor: Paul Giamatti (to...

Until, One, Zoo Station, The Fly, Mysterious Ways, and friggin' Love is Blindness....all in one show...are you kidding me? I cannot wait to see this show in 3D at an Imax theatre. Hmm, it seems as if there are eight songs from the 80s; 8 songs from the 90s; and, 8 songs from 00s. Is this a...
