My first thought too. Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, Ian Curtis, Sid Vicious, Darby Crash, Stiv Bators, Rozz Williams etc.

Halloween originated in Ireland. Halloween did not become an American holiday until the mid-19th century, following the migration of nearly two million Irish immigrants (due mostly to the Irish Potato Famine). America's massive media influences and commercial exploitation have propagated the holiday elsewhere in the world, though.

Society doesn't know what to do with kids. "Let's intern them while numbing their brain with the superficial and trivial!" Sadly, that is life for most people, but this isn't working for many.

Even though this doesn't pertain to you, I'll rant anway. The system is rapidly failing in the United States. Kids are dropping out at an astounding rate, especially minority boys.

Some scholars, notably Christina Hoff Sommers, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, charge that misguided feminism is what's been hurting boys. In the 1990s, she says, girls were making strong, steady progress toward parity in schools, but feminist educators portrayed them as disadvantaged and lavished them with support and attention. Boys, meanwhile, whose rates of achievement had begun to falter, were ignored and their problems allowed to fester. Now the "boy brain" isn't wired to modern curricula as closely as the "girl brain".

Education in America needs radical and far-reaching reform. In my opinion, public education needs to slowly integrate Sudbury model school doctrines. The equivalency of a High School graduaton is a forgone conclusion in those schools. Those who go to the aforementioned Sudbury model schools also have a higher college graduation rate than those with a standard education, in fact 80% graduate.

Haha, oh yes, I used to play that all the time in the arcades!

I loved the gradual animal-ego transformations and the hordes of the undead you pave through.

It depends... were you playing good or evil on the last file?

Just be the antithesis of your last character to enjoy every aspect the game has to offer.

It's a little thing called society and culture.

It is the duty of the last generation to propagate the status quo by reinforcing the resolve of the current generation. Lest, they become a legion of laggard slackers. It almost happened with Gen-X; that's why Gen-Y is so sheltered.

What passes for intelligence on this psychotic plane is merely an exercise in cerebral auto-eroticism, insular arguments of a faulty brain rationalizing the existence of its defective owner.

It correctly guessed I was thinking of my old daschund.

I thought it would just deduce it was a dog, but it guessed the exact breed as well.

My fantasy consists of luring a young woman into my grasp under the false pretext that she would gain employment at my fictitious modeling agency, once under my dominion she will be subjected to all manner of sick and twisted sexual acts, which may or may not be limited to everything listed on this site.

I was brooding over the same realization not long ago.

I have until March, myself. :[

I fit into that category 100%. The Dodgers aren't doing that great this year anyway, so I don't feel that ashamed :P

I read somewhere that cravings are your body's signals telling you that you are lacking a specific kind of food in your diet (perhaps fiber in your case). Some people of course have cravings for comfort-food which is purely psychological.

Maybe what you view as un-founded cynicism and pessimism are in actuallity REALISM.

Anyway, Hillary joined the crusade just to garner votes from the "moral majority" for her impending run at the presidency. She equates violent games with cigarettes and alcohol as a hazard to America's youth :/

Actually, that could be potentially significant to those of faith, since it contradicts previous studies saying that prayer actually is beneficial (which was only a fluke).

It seems laughable to us, but to the religious their faith blindly consumes every facet of life. I wouldn't label that "stupid" per se, due to the fact religion has been pounded in their brains since a very young age (hampering free will and rational thought to anything they conceive as pertinent). What else do you expect?

The Basic Writings of Nietzsche.

His polemical ratiocinations are both entertaining and enlightening.

So your saying it's ok if I wave my bare ass at people on my way to work because it's an "artistic expression"? Maybe your right, so would you be ok with me waving my ass in front of you a few times a day? I mean, it would be artistic expression of course or is the only "artistic expression" that should be allowed the ones that please you? I mean is it ok to produce hate films? Assuming it was artistic.

You are so confused it isn't even funny.

Artistic expression in the medium of entertainment. How many times do I have to say that, I even labelled what it is considered! This is for the artists and patrons sake, not only mine don't play the greed card with me. I'm assuming you gave up, since you ignored the AFA idiocy as well... or maybe you support it. At any rate narrow minded people like you have no chance to wake up, kthxbai.

Not everyone agrees. Your archaic set of rules have little need and pertinence to modern life.
Suppressing artistic expression amongst other things helps nothing.

So you'd be ok with tubgirl being an advertisement for toilet paper? is that something you'd let your children see? And if you don't think there should be rules for anything then why even let there be government? Plus there is nothing artistic about that. If people want to express art like that they can do it in gallerys and not on public television.

You are not addressing the issues here. If society wasn't censored in the first place maybe tubgirl wouldn't be offensive to them if they weren't looking to be offended.

Yeah, ok. We need "dignity" or the youths will jaunt off to an unsavory moral direction. Dignity has long been lost if it ever existed at all. Don't paint the world something it isn't and stop pretending to care, while just wanting to hide the truth to further control society.

So basically your saying "fuck it, I don't care, and no one else does. Who the hell cares about morals. Everyone is a filthily sex craved slob underneath. deal with it." Well I’m sorry if I have more faith in the human race then you and I still believe there IS such a thing as dignity, even if you have lost all of yours some people still have some. Maybe you should stop thinking what whatever makes you happiest is the best choice and think about what is right for the rest of the world.

Tell me how it is "right" and why people like you dictate that.

Wait, are you saying there is even a single tread of "dignity" in that commercial? If people like you had your way we’d be watching bare nipples flopping around during soda commercials.

What a bunch of bull. Censorship barely does anything thing these days, you can see people bare asses on normal cable t.v. That commercial has nothing to do with hamburgers it's just to get the attention of horny fat guys. Sorry for trying to keep national television with SOME dignity.

No, it isn't and that is the approach people like you took to address anything else they thought didn't have "dignity".
