    Best PC Games

    If you are into 3D Doom-type games, then I would highly recommend getting No One Lives Forever... its like a 60s style spy game, and probably the best 3d game Ive ever played. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is great, too.

    Bush calls Sharon a "man of peace"

    You misunderstood me when I talked about other peoples suffering in history. What I am trying to do is say something about the fact that when European governments or citizens or others criticize Israeli actions, that saying such a thing automatically qualifies as a racist statement. It is not a...

    Bush calls Sharon a "man of peace"

    Israel has attacked Egypt, destroyed Beirut, invaded Jordan, divided the Palestinians land. And you are asking why people in other Arab countries dont support Israels actions? I doubt that they would want to support Israel in the first place. [This message has been edited by Mikesimus (edited...

    Has anyone ever been to Istanbul?

    Yeah, the famous city, "second Rome".

    Has anyone ever been to Istanbul?

    The reason I ask this, is that I have recently become very interested in Byzantine/Turkish history and culture as of late. I am planning on going on vacation to Europe next year for a few months, and I would love to go down to Istanbul/Constantinople for awhile. I would really like to see famous...

    Bush calls Sharon a "man of peace"

    Sting2, there are a few things that I would like to get off of my mind here, and I would be interested in what you may have to say: First off, you imply that Europeans are racist against Jews, and that any criticism of Israeli policies automatically qualifies one as being anti-semitic. I dont...

    Does anyone know Japanese?

    Does anyone here know some Japanese? If so, I was hoping you could maybe help me out. I took some Japanese in high school and University, and I have a basic knowledge of it. However, I have a pen-pal from Japan that I occasionally exchange letters with, and I can only understand bits and pieces...

    Rammstein?

    Yeah, they are named after the airbase. I do understand good portions of it, although I do not know German, I have picked it up here and there, I might take a course on it someday. Some of their older songs were pretty strange lyrically, but the new album is much better in that regard. Just a...

    Rammstein?

    I am just wondering, what do you people think of the German band Rammstein? I know that alot of people give them a bad rep, but for the most part that is not true. Personally, I think that their music is brilliant. It is not too overly aggressive, its really enjoyable to listen to, and its...

    my sister's eating paint chips again, maybe that's why she's insane...

    They are an excellent band! I dont see whats wrong with them, I saw them play on their own once and they were great. I especially love the first album, and in particular, the last set of songs, including the Background, Motorcycle drive by, and the god of wine. Those songs are just really...

    Gotta love New England Weather...

    Sounds like the weather here, in Edmonton. Last week it was about 15 Celsius (I have no idea what that is in Farenheit), and tomorrow it is supposed to be something like +4. Im getting sick of this weather, its supposed to be spring!

    Bush calls Sharon a "man of peace"

    One thing that I have never noticed in any of these posts about the Middle Eastern conflict, is that Zionists actively perpetuated terrorist acts in the 1940s to help them establish the State of Israel. They killed many innocent people, especially British people. Yet this is never mentioned? Why...

    Australian Music Appreciation Thread!

    How about the band Yothu Yindi? They are a band of mostly Aborigines, and they mix traditional instruments with new ones- very good!

    Who likes Nickelback? (sp?)

    Theyre pretty good... whats annoying though, is that they are from Alberta here, only a few hours away from Edmonton. And they havent been super popular and mainstream until very recently. Before that single got popular, I went to see them in small venues and clubs, and mostly opening for...

    Hinduism Help??

    I am currently taking a course on world religions, so I feel as though I may contribute a bit here. About Shiva, he's more of a creator/destroyer god. He symbolizes life by portraying death and life, which go together. The blue color, the iconography of Hinduism is very extensive and creative...

    CD burning question...HELP!

    Hi. I use Adaptec Easy CD Creator, it was included with my burner, but you can probably download it somewhere as well. Anyways, it allows an option to remove the gaps between songs, I havent used it to burn an audio CD like that lately so Im not sure how well it works, but it might be worth a try.

    A question about women

    Thanks... maybe I will try talking to her again next week or something. Ive heard that sometimes they ignore you because they feel youre upset, I dont know why they would, but its probably true sometimes. I dont know why Im so worked up about it, its just the way I am, I guess. Thanks for the...

    A question about women

    Hi there... I know this post may seem foolish, but I really wanted to ask you guys about something thats been burning me up for a while. I go to University, and in one class I met this girl that I talked with quite alot, about many things. I dont know how it happened, but one day she just...

    Sticking my neck out on this one. Creed fans(all 2 of you besides me), read.

    Id say they played around that many songs, the show was about 2 hours or maybe a bit more, so I would expect to see that happen again. They played a good portion of songs from each album, as well. Anyways, Id expect the Weathered tour to be pretty good, so Im definetely going.

    Sticking my neck out on this one. Creed fans(all 2 of you besides me), read.

    Personally, I am a huge fan of both U2 and Creed. I think that the new album is great, it is alot different from what they have done before, but different in a good way. I dont know if any of you have heard it, but I think that the new Garbage album is quite disappointing and I dont like it very...

    Reggae music?

    Hi there. The reason that I am writing this is to see, what do you all think of reggae music? Personally I love stuff like Bob and Ziggy Marley, but alot of the newer, harder stuff I dont really like. What are some reggae artists you can recommend to me, who have a style similar to the Marley's...

    Do any of you enjoy at least one of those hardcore metal bands?

    Hi there... I dont really like Korn, but I am a big fan of Rammstein.. yeah not many people like them, and I dont care much for their on stage antics etc. But their music is just a great and powerful mix that I cant help it. The mix of techno beats/heavy guitar riffs etc. are excellent, at least...

    U2- In the name of love

    I got this book a few years back- its subtitle is A History from Ireland's Hot Press Magazine. Its pretty cool, it was published in 85 and has articles and concert reviews etc. of the band from their beginnings to 85. I was wondering is this book rare, what do you think of it if you have it?

    Another time, another place

    In this song, Bono sings in Gaelic for a while. I think its the only U2 song where he does. Anyways, does anyone know what they mean? Also, do you think that U2 should use Gaelic in their songs, or in new ones, at all?

    Are you all students?

    I am a 19 year old student, soon to be 20, and a huge U2 fan. Actually I have all their albums and about 10 singles, 4 videos and several bootlegs. What is odd is that I never was much into listening to music, any kind a few years ago. The first U2 album I got is Pop, but my favorites by far are...
