  1. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Is "watering the grass" a euphemism for something or is that a literal question? You are making absolutely zero sense.
  2. Actually, I bet that's not why. I bet it has to do with the fact this concept/idea has been done to death and it's never been proven 100% and that this thread gets posted about 384389734 times a year.
  3. That's not the kind of faith they were talking about, at least that's what I got out of the article when I read it. I didn't get the "have faith, a cure will come" vibe, I got the "religious faith" vibe from it, and this line is what triggered it: "Despite some successes, the program has been criticized for requiring that participating groups emphasize abstinence education." Abstinence-only education is a hallmark of the Christian right, and if Bush's program is pushing that concept, it's pushing a religious ideology as well and I don't agree with that. Can't we help these people and do work and get active WITHOUT bringing religion into it? Can't we just do it because AIDS is a scourge we need to get rid of or at least find ways to help those who suffer live better lives? I'm all for hoping a cure will come in my lifetime. I would love to see it happen.
  4. I just bought it tonight at the Barnes and Noble at North Point.
  5. No, I'm not. I don't give a fig for his favor, foul or fair. If he feels how he feels, then I'm the last person that can do anything about it.
  6. Incorrect. Kat is the one who made the comment. Scroll up.
  7. Memo to Pres. Bush: SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID MONKEY. Faith will not cure AIDS. A vaccine, drugs, medicine.....that is what will eradicate it. Education will help slow the pandemic. These are the same people who think if you ignore something long enough, it'll solve itself. This guy is such a damn embarrassment. This is the best we could do? Really? Him?
  8. Ummmm, they're going to do fine. Why would we think otherwise? They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't think they were up to snuff.
  9. "According to Plant, Zeppelin spent their second and third days together working on "For Your Life", a never-played-live track from their 1976 album Presence. "Then we jettisoned it - but that was the mood of the thing." Okay, so that sounds like they aren't doing the song live on December 10th. If not, what's the new song they will be doing?
  10. I just bought this issue tonight, along with the issue of MOJO that they're on the cover of. All that's left is the issue of Q.
  11. Thanks, Vic. You did, since someone posted above you, but we'll just keep going from here. Hold My Hand - Hootie and the Blowfish
  12. Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger
  13. I feel bad for Muslims who are not violent, who are not hateful and who don't treat other human beings like this because the less educated of the population will lump them in with the bad seeds and paint them all with the same brush. A girl I went to H.S. with was Muslim and had stuff shoved in her locker, got pushed around in the hallways and all I could think was, "this is how a Christian behaves? This isn't very Christ-like." Then again, if Christ was alive now, most uber-fanatical Christians would want nothing to do with him, what with his hippie demeanor and "love your neighbor" mantra.
  14. To the person who said that I was a fool for letting people talk behind my back.....there are people who thought I was garbage on the old board, there are people who think I'm garbage and we're on the new board. Whether there's an ignore function or not, these people are going to insult and degrade me regardless. It makes no difference. I can't do a damn thing about it. I can either block the posts or not block the posts....it's not going to stop them from doing it. And even if no one knew I had anyone on my ignore list, they'd do it anyway. So knowing/not knowing....doesn't matter. At least this is me making an attempt to make what time I do spend on this site more pleasant, even if it's a scintilla's worth of difference.
  15. Paris Hilton is a musician, I'm dying to hear what her top albums are.
  16. There is nothing Satanic about Hotel California. There is no backmasking in Hotel California. They were too fucked up to barely write the song one way, I hardly doubt they were coherent enough to do that shit too.
  17. This is how I feel as well. They don't owe us anything and it's not being on a high-horse or being "holier than thou" to say that thinking they do is a spoiled or ungrateful.
  18. I like it. I had a copy of Early Days/Latter Days, but it went missing. So this, along with HTWWW and BBC Sessions is a nice grouping of live/compilation albums highlighting some of their best stuff. I like the packaging for Mothership as well.
