1) What should we call the trophy? The Tankies? The Shermans? Be creative...

I don't know... the tankies sounds kinda dumb. I'm no help here lol

2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.

Hell no! That's totally unfair to the great musicians who never had one of there songs used in a movie or game.

3) What nominations would you like to make for each of the above categories? These will all be taken under advisement.

The only thing I can nominate is this song. Seriously, it's too epic for this place. I listen to it everyday and it never gets old!

You want epic? This is epic!

Funny that atheists never use age as an argument, despite it being 5 million times more valid coming from us.

Okay, now you're just attempting to silence me and make my opinions seem invalid. That is the lowest of the low.

YOU WILL NOT SILENCE ME! EVER! EVEN IF THE MODS BANNED ME!

It's not my joke. I heard it somewhere.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. The bartender says "There's a steering wheel in your pants." The pirate says "Aye. It's driving me nuts!"

It's a bit corny and fly-in-the-soup-esque in my opinion, but I still like it.

STFU.

Just because I'm 16 doesn't mean I can't share my opinion about religion. I have as much freedom to express my thoughts and opinions as the average 18-49 year old. Respect it, teen oppressor. I hate people like you.

I couldn't help but notice people saying if everyone believed in God, then it would conflict freewill. It is possible to believe in God and continue living in freewill. It's like acknowledging God's existence then saying "Whatever". You silly people.

Being an atheist doesn't necessarily I don't believe in anything, I never even said that. It means I don't believe in God. Get your facts straight before posting stuff like this.

The Big Bang. Animals evolved from microorganisms. We know because of fossils. Dinosaurs came, got wiped out. Repeat microorganisms, we are here. Any questions?

Sorry. I read your post wrong. My bad. As an atheist, I view religion as a form of brainwashing.

Let me rephrase the question: why would religion want to put these obviously false ideas into our heads. They will accomplish nothing.

Those "arguments" in your "God is not real" thread don't prove shit. So if those were what you used at the dinner table, your family was right in thinking your opinions are "silly and cute", as you put it.

Those weren't the same arguments I used at the table.

To reiterate: "Technically, we are young adults. I think my thoughts, as a teen, matters as much as the next guy's." And my philosophy is everybody's ideas matter.

I was reading through my "God is not real" topic and some people consider that I'm just full of teen angst. You know why we teenagers are full of angst and you know why it's just considered "normal teen behavior"? Because older adults usually don't care about what we have to say. They think we're just being stupid. I know a lot of peers that have a lot to say about the wrongs of society and they are really informed people but adults don't take the time to listen to them, they don't take their thoughts seriously, or they think our thoughts are just plain "silly & cute".

Here's an example, I was talking about atheism at the table the other night, and my dad, who went to Catholic school, defended God's existence. I said He is not real, just hype, and I thought I put up some concrete evidence (I brought science into the conversation), I verbally fought everything he had to say about God's "truthful existence", and when I verbally cornered him, he and my stepmom laughed at everything I had to say. I was emotionally hurt and left the table, even though my plate was still full and was still hungry. I did not go back down there for the rest of the night. They did not apologize until like three hours later even though they usually apologize five minutes later. Can you believe that? My OWN family laughed at my thoughts. I'll probably never get over that (that doesn't mean I am/was emo).

I know I'm displaying teen angst now but this is why all teens feel teen angst: 95% of adults don't take our thoughts seriously. They don't think we are as capable as they are. Technically, we are young adults. I think my thoughts, as a teen, matters as much as the next guy's. I think they should lower the voting age (and anything else you get to do when you're 18) to 16. To me, that is the age of young adulthood.

I am sorry if I wasted your time. This is just something that's really been getting on my nerves lately and just thought I'd throw that out there.

You really can't compare the two, well at least I can't. They are two completely different genres of music. There are some rappers I like more than rock bands and vice versa.

I can't help but think my "God is not real" topic has something to do with you ranting about him. The title of the topic looks similar to mine. Oh, and God is NOT real if you think about it long enough. It conflicts with everything we learn in science class.

Read a satanic bible you idiot.

Then why are they called SATANists? Huh? And on a side note, I can't believe this topic is still flowing with responses, both educated and stupid. Wow. Religion is a pretty sensitive topic after all.

Getting of TheUsed's topic, why is it that people made religion and brainwash people into thinking God created everything? What will they accomplish from that? I mean, science completely disproves everything religion tells us left and right, WITH credible evidence from uber-smart people. Like they have shown us that Adam and Eve were not the first living things on Earth, bacteria is, which evolved into more complicated lifeforms like dinosaurs. What does the Bible have to say about dinosaurs? Nothing!

I'm not a satanist, I'm an atheist. Those are two completely different things. Atheists don't believe in religion at all. They worship no one. Satanists worship the devil. If you're going to insult me, do it with an education.

Religion is one of the most phony, yet interesting, human topics ever. Here are 6 things that prove that God does not exist and that every religion is wrong (in the last reason).

1. If God is supposed to protect us from evil and is supposedly omnipotent (everywhere at any given time) and omnibenevolent (the ultimate in good), why doesn't he save us from the present evil already?!
2. If God already knows the future and created us in his image, then humanity is destined to know everything He knows and we will not have the true free will we have. An example is this very post. I don't know if I will get lots of hate from religious nuts or not so I'm posting this to see the reaction. If I knew what the reaction would be, like "God", I wouldn't be writing this.
3. If God is omnipotent and not everyone believes in Him, He would do a better job gathering believers.
4. Why would a supernatural being create a universe? Because He was bored to death? He can't desire it because the concept of desire is subjectively human.
5. Ma and Pa told me that God meant to make us imperfect. Why the hell would God make us imperfect if He, according to the Bible, expects so much from us as individuals. They never gave me a straightforward answer, or even a relevant one.
6. Religion is very inconsistent about the idea of God and what He wants from us (if God can even feel desire). So that also proves, not only the non-existence of God, but the inaccuracy and incorrectness of many, if not all, religions.

Now I would love to stick around and watch the discussion unfold, but I have a Rush concert to catch in an hour. See ya. I respond to your comments later.
