If the shoe fits. It's like if he called me white, I am white, so I accept it. I've also never calmed to be sane. Apparently you can see and understand what I'm saying which either means great minds think alike, or we're both mad as a hatter. Please note that I didn't call him stupid, I just said not smart ENOUGH, because I do believe he's smart. Take it to the grammar thread, and go get a spell check. Maybe those are all typographical errors but yeah you tend to misspell one or two words. Try Mozilla Firefox as it has a built in spell check and underlines errors in red. Obviously that won't help with grammatical errors such as interchanging the words affect and effect but it's at least some help. Also aint isn't a word, but it's become one through time (or at least generally accepted). Talking to your general run of the mill average person they wouldn't know the difference between morals and ethics either. I didn't know because I've never paid attention to either. So congratulations on teaching me something new and giving me more power, because knowledge is power and I will use that power to CRUSH YOU ALL LIKE ANTS! If you really want to point out fallacies in the English language though lets start with ebonics, dawg.

It doesn't and I do. Just because you don't understand me doesn't mean I'm not making sense. Also relative to relativism Either you're not smart enough to figure it out or I'm just insane. More likely a combination of the two. This is all philosophy, and some think that the universe expands and collapses eternally with the universe playing out the exact same way each time. Meaning we're doomed to do this forever. No I don't prescribe to that theory since I like to believe in some free will. However cause and effect control the universe. Morals are defined by the majority of people who's ethics coincide. But they do very from person to person. The MAJORITY is the largest group of people that agree on what is ethical/moral. There is no good or evil other than personal viewpoints on what good and evil are. I know I sound like a sociopath but murder is just the ending of a life. A true sociopath would feel nothing taking that life due to a lack of guilt though. Babies die, puppies drown, people get sad, and life marches on. Say for example I kill someone, which is bad. However say I was hungry and they were the only source of food for miles around and I'd die of starvation otherwise. Kind of like stealing bread to survive, only taken to the next level. Technically both are "bad", but screw your good and evil, I'm hungry, meat's meat, and mans gotta eat! Also you'll note that I didn't say karma I said social karma, which is quite different. Karma is the universes way of rewarding or punishing you for doing something good or bad (which I think is bunk). Social karma is society's way of doing the same from observing your actions and then rewarding/punishing you accordingly based on what society thinks is good or bad. Take for example THE LAW, which when enforced isn't always justice, but it is THE LAW. Let's look at a traffic violation... Say I'm at a red light, with a sign that says "NO TURN ON RED". Pretty simple and easy to understand, if I turn on red I should get a ticket because I'm breaking THE LAW. However cross traffic stops and gets a green arrow in their left turn lane and I'm turning right. No traffic is coming and I know I won't get hit if I go forward but this light doesn't have a green arrow, I will still get a ticket. Society says I'm breaking THE LAW and should be punished, but society can go fuck itself because society is WRONG (note I've never gotten a ticket for this, it's just a good example). Explaining this situation to a police officer would yield one of two scenarios. The first is the officer understands my point of view, gives me a warning but secretly agrees with me, and waves me off. The second and more likely is he gives me a ticket because he can and I look like a freak and that's how he makes his money. Everything depends on the point of view, and points of view can change in an instant or they can be cemented and kept forever. This can be narrowed to the scope of one person or widened to an entire society. However it's harder to change the opinion of a society on what is and is not moral but it can be done over time, like for example gay marriage. As a friend on another forum stated it "used to be a secret that had to be kept at all costs". Today you can be openly gay and not be stoned to death for it, even though a lot of fundies don't agree with it at all and probably vomit when they think of two guys making out (hell I get a little sick to the stomach myself but I'm not so close minded as to say they're going to burn in hell for all eternity for it). In short morals are for morons and I'd sooner go with my internal compass of right and wrong than what society defines as such for me. This will probably eventually land me in jail but at least I'll be standing up for what I believe in.

Goddamnit I'm working The Ritz that night. Hey you know where would have been a better spot for this show? Rather than at a venue that just does bands and has no "alternative/gothic/industrial" night?

Technically depending on who you ask NONE of us have free will anyway. Although that's more philosophy. Ethics like most things vary from person to person and depends on ones point of view. This all sounds more like domino theory/cause and effect to me. As far as morals go, those are defined by the majority. There is no good or evil, there is only life and social karma.

Depends on the cover, depends on the bands There's a shirt I like that says... So covering it is like saying that the original band that did it didn't do a good enough job and you can do better. So you BETTER do better if you do. Unless you're a punk band in which case it's expected to suck (that's what punk is though, and it doesn't care if it sounds like shit, I'm down with that). I mean it's great if you like the song and it's your favorite and you want to cover it... however if you know you can't do it justice don't even attempt it. Some label might think it's "cool" or "hip" and throw it on a comp (Cleopatra Records can die in a fire for some of the crap they've churned out but they're trying to redeem themselves at least). I like covers that cross genres because someone who really likes the original might hear it and discover they like another genre of music. Even stuff like Paul Anka, Richard Cheese, Pat Boone, Black Velvet Flag, Señor Coconut, Nouvelle Vague, and a few other bands that escape my memory are great. Hell Señor Coconut has an album of all Kraftwerk covers done in a mambo tropical style which I think is brilliant. One of my favorite sites used to be the now defunct http://www.coversproject.com (holy fuck it's back up um... ok) which lists all the bands that have covered an artist and all the covers that artist has done. Seriously play with that site, it is cool as hell. I've found some great covers (and some terrible ones) of songs I've really liked for YEARS. Hell there are some covers I like better than the original (for example, Hot Rod Lincoln originally by Charlie Ryan covered by Commander Cody and His Lost Airmen). Also the origins of the term cover are interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_version#History Although it doesn't state the original term coined by a disk jockey back in the early 50's I believe.

Thanks for jumping the gun on this. I was all ready to post something since I seem to be doing it every week now. I hope you have a good time on the other side of the bar. I also hope that everyone makes it out and has a GREAT time, like we always do every week. We'll totally get that Cramps request on for you too TheOsakaKoneko. Any other requests from anyone let'em fly here.

The fact that you even use internet explorer means something bad. Go get firefox already! www.mozilla.com Then get the adblock plus and noscript add-ons (google them). Your computer web browser wise will be totally secure unless you allow something to run that isn't supposed to. Also run Spybot Search & Destroy (google it) and get Windows Defender from Microsoft. This goes to everyone, not just him. I also officially rebrand this the cornfucker virus :D Start spreading that around.

I've seen him, I've seen his posts. I'm not sure if the posts were someone acting as him or were actually him. My friend said he was pretty annoying though in person.
