We're working on it.
However, I envision a global revolution.

Well, you tell me when you fix all the little chinks.

Yes, it most certainly can.

Try throwing that into America today.

I dare you.

Okay then, now that I have a more reliable source to work on-

I think this is being blown way out of proportion. The argument was that banning nunchucks interfered with the 2nd Amendment, to which Sotomayer's response was that the 2nd Amendment was a Federal law, not a State law. Now, I'm not too happy with how she justified her argument, but swords hidden in canes, for example, are illegal where I live, and nobody is making a fuss over that.

Besides, depending on your interpretation, this doesn't even fall under the 2nd Amendment. 'Right to bare arms', 'Well-regulated militia', nunchucks?

Eh.

I'm not a fan of this woman, but nobody is taking away your guns yet. The discussion here should be about the massive slippery slope this represents, not how dem libs gonna take all our guns away.

it's true, NY times even mentions it.

How odd.

Isn't state rights more of a Republican thing to cheer for?

I typed the title into Google and didn't find a single report of it from a website that didn't have 'freedom' in the name.

Waiting for CNN or ABC article.

If this is true, God help us.

If this isn't, chock up another lie from the Right.

No it most certainly can not.

THE WORKERS control every aspect of production, there is no government, no state.

So... you mean a workers counsel has to get together to control the state? A group, in charge of managing food distribution in the economy? A... government, perhaps?

Communism and anarchy cannot mix properly.

Jesus man, i'd like to see a write up of your diet, surely if you average 5000 cals a day you know what your eating right?

fast metabolism yeah i don't buy into that.

You're right. Too few teenagers have fast metabolisms for it to possibly be true.

Meal 1- Almonds, peanut butter sandwich, cheerios

Meal 2- 2 Chicken breasts, rice, milk

Meal 3- Protein shake, more rice

Meal 4- About a bucket of noodles

Meal 5- More chicken breast

All meals are estimations, not counting the snacks I have every 2 minutes.

base level? my nutritionist and guy that designs my workouts is a pro bodybuilder. in the off season he eats around 5000 calories a day and weighs around 250 pounds at 5'9. I understand what you mean that your eating to gain, but base level was a terrible choice of words.

Poor word choices aside, if you work out then you understand that 5000 calories is a normal amount to be eating offseason, which is, for me, every day.

Oh okay thats what everyone always says haha.

True, I can't prove it, so you can base what I'm saying on the picture I posted, where I am still not skinny.

Eh.

CAAAALM DOOOWN.

It's not as though I ever said I'm a hulking mass of muscle and sex, but I'm certainly not skin and bones.

And if you want an estimation of what I look like now, about 20 more pounds, slightly larger biceps and forearms, more belly fat, slightly larger pecs, and bigger quadriceps.

No, no you fucking don't there is no fucking way you are eating near 5000 a day i suggest you take a real good look and calculate your food intact unless you've got the fast metabolism know to man.

Did calculate. I do have a fast metabolism. Peanut butter, steak, and whey all the time.

if your working out correctly 3 days a week, eating 5000 calories and still weigh 180 pounds at 6' i'll eat my fucking shoe.

It's not as though I've been doing this for years, I've been doing it for about 8 months. You clearly have no idea how gaining muscle works, having 5000 calories is the BASE level, and going to the gym 3x a week is the lowest amount you can do to reliably see any gains.

If thats you 6 months ago why did you post the picture? were you expecting someone to call you out and have that ready as a defense?

Because I no longer own a camera. Sold it to add to my new computer fund.

How do you look now, post up a picture.

Jesus Christ, what the fuck is with you. Why the aggression?

Because we don't blindly adhere to ideas with no proof just to make ourselves feel cozy at night.

And seeing as how atheists DON'T go off committing suicide every night, there is obviously something to live for apart from an afterlife.

All pray for a Beastmaster.

A summoning hero would be awesome.

Is that so?
Or if Wikipedia seems less time-consuming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_C ommunism

So... You abolish all government control, private property, and authority, and then distribute the means of production by means of a direct democracy and counsels?

It's the exact same thing as Communism, except with a few notes stapled on saying that even though the government controls every aspect of production, it doesn't REALLY have power.

I'm an anarcho-communist.

Communism and anarchy are both absolute polar opposites, and neither of them works.

I'm going to bump this so I can try to get at least one person to get this amazing album.

For those for you who don't follow this sort of stuff, 21st Century Breakdown is the newest album by the band Green Day. Before this album, I never really liked them, with the exception of a few songs o he American Idiot album, that, while good songs, were rather whiny.

This new album blows all their old stuff out of the water, though. First, let's get all the poetic stuff out of the way. The album is about Christian and Gloria, a couple who are fighting to live a better life. Yes, very sappy, and maybe not the most badass subject, but, fortunately, the album is divided between about 4 mainly piano romance songs and 14 rock songs.

The rock songs are about the actual conflict, whereas the piano songs are about the relationship between the couple and their struggle. Which type of song you prefer is a matter of opinion, but seeing as how Green Day is a rock band, I like the rock songs a bit more, even though they are all written beautifully.

For those of you who didn't catch that, yes, there are EIGHTEEN songs on this album, and all of them are good. No filler. The songs are actually linear, in a loosely connected string of lyrics depicting the romantic revolution, and, of course, the inevitable downfall. I, being functionally retarded, copied the songs on to my iPod backwards, so I didn't get the full experience of the album until I realized and corrected my mistake.

When I say the songs are written well, I don't just mean the lyrics, I mean the whole band. The songs are ripe with fills, which are brief sections of songs where only one or two of the instruments are playing, which when done well, sound great. The band also puts their favorite effect, the echo, into use often, which leads to some good riffs by the guitar.

Now for the actual song breakdown- since I'm more for the music than the story, I'm not going to tell you the subject of the song, just a brief review of it. All scores are based on my personal taste.

Song of the Century- A short song, only a minute, and all vocals, the entirety of which are in the echo effect. Not a full song, but the particularly good lyrics make this just as fun to listen to. 7/10

21st Century Breakdown- The title song of the album, as it deserves to be. The song before the midway mark sounds good, but after the midway mark the drum fill comes in, which marks the beginning of an amazing guitar riff that fits in will with occasional echo guitar fills. 9/10

Know the Enemy- The 'hit' song on the album, currently being broadcasted across the country's radios. Almost as good as the Title song, and has a great background drum beat along with an upbeat guitar beat. 8.5/10

Viva Gloria!- Starts with a romantic, but not sappy, piano intro, then goes into a steady riff with a good leading vocal track backed by the bass player, and a good mix of drum and guitar fill combinations. A beautiful song. 9/10

Before the Lobotomy- A sad song, starting with a acoustic/singer intro, and around the 1/3 mark, hits a good guitar fill and turns into a slow, simple beat with build-up drum fills (Drum fills where the drummer slowly hits the drums harder and harder, usually with the toms, to slowly sound louder and louder.) 8.5/10

Christian's Inferno- That is, the character Christian, not the religion. Probably the most upbeat and fast song on the album, with a simple riff that occasionally goes echo for a few seconds. Well put together. 8/10

Last Night on Earth- Debatably the sappiest song on the album. I, being a manly man, who eats steak for breakfast, do not like it so much, but I am not so blind as to overlook the fact that it is a GOOD sappy, romance song. 6/10

East Jesus Nowhere- My favorite song on the album. 2 different riffs, 3 different types of fills, and a vocalist solo section. Amazing song. Lyrics mock the Catholic Church, but do it tastefully. 9.5/10

Peacemaker- A very fast song, though not as upbeat as Christian's Inferno. Acoustic mostly, with good backup vocals. Has the only guitar solo on the album, and even though it's only 3 notes, it sounds great. This song mocks Islam, so, you know, yeah. The song title is ironic. 8.5/10

The Last of the American Girls- A slow song, with more bass than any song by them I've ever heard, and pretty lyrics. Also has a nice riff after the first fill section. 7.5/10

Murder City- Just as fast as Peacemaker, with a similar song structure. Two different riffs, one quiet, and one loud. I love them both, but found the quiet one a bit nicer. 8/10

Viva la Gloria?- The second song in the two-song mini story, basically the same strong structure with the instrumentals and singing changed to make it a slower, sadder song. Very nice to listen to, has great vocal/guitar fill sections. Also some very good piano-ing. 9/10

Restless Heart Syndrome- The other sappy, romantic song, but at least this one has a good drum background and guitar. Well-placed vocalist solos. References the song Know your Enemy. 7/10

Horseshoes and Handgrenades- The most profane and active song in the album, with debatably the most complicated guitar riff. Apart from that, a pretty simple song. 8/10

The Static Age- The song with my favorite drum riff, and third favorite lyrics, the other two being Viva Gloria!, and 21 Guns. Despite it's simplicity, I think it's one of the best written songs on the album. 9/10

21 Guns- My second favorite song on the album. Amazing vocals, and a very slow song. Pretty long, too, 6 minutes, and amazing every second. Definitely the most dramatic song on the album, and the best song to listen to when thinking of fallen heroes, if you're into that. I'm talking about misunderstood heroes returning to their old home town, where everything and everybody has been destroyed by the evil he was trying to protect them from, that they trusted over you. Not Transformers 2. 9.5/10

American Eulogy- Opens up with and excerpt from Song of the Century, and descends into a great socially-aware song with multiple riffs and a great drum breakdown towards the end of the song. 9/10

See the Light- The closing song on the album, with the same structure as 21st Century Breakdown, except, of course, sad. Not always a happy ending. Not as good as the tile song, but not every dong here can be my favorite. 8/10

Buy this motherfucking album. Even if you do it illegally, you will not regret it.

Also my longest post ever.

Yes, because this is low quality and unoriginal.

I'd like to add that the screenshot you showed proved my point perfectly. While it was beautiful, and every detail was rendered spectacularly, it is the exact same generic art style.

Of course, not EVERY anime has the same style. That'd be like if i said Nazis are bad and you provided one example of a Nazi who was forced into it to feed his children, and he donated money to charity.

I have encountered good animes, many of which came from the man who made Totoro, but most of them have the exact same art style, as opposed to american cartoons, which, while generally lower quality, are often much more diverse in style.

I hate anime because of it's shitty story telling, overenthusiastic female characters, and its completely unoriginal art style.

Can I post here yet?

Tyson fucking sucks. All he knows how to do is Jab+Jab+Uppercut. Given, it's a great combo, but not when spammed.

Go tell him that, see what he does.

Hell, bring all your friends.

BOXING is the sport where you beat the shit out of other people. He succeeded brilliantly at this. Therefor, he is one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Actually, emos kind of always sucked, but okay.

You know, with the two Rock Band games that are out, the planned Beatles version, the portable one and the licensing rights given to Lego.

As opposed to 5 Guitar Hero Games, The Metallica and Aerosmith iterations, and the THREE portable versions, and FUCKING GUITAR HERO- SMASH HITS, A COLLECTION OF SONGS FROM GAMES THAT HAVE BEEN COMING OUT ONCE A YEAR SINCE 2005.

It's like a bunch of executive directors got drunk and decided that the best way to remake and rip-off an internationally loved game was to fagify it.
