  1. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Goku213 [/i] [B]actually, you're wrong. it's an art form, a form of music. I dont know what music you like, but i'll take a guess at rock music, or if you don't, let's just say that you do for arguments sake. To me, that isn't music, that's just a load of screeching shouting, bawling, shouting. Like i say, TO ME it isn't music. But i'm not denying it isn't music if you understand what i'm trying to say? Because i know that it is just another form of music as it comes in many forms Like when Rock N Roll was emerging. People were saying it wasn't music, it was noise, it should be banned, but hey, it took over the world. You see what i'm saying? And as for this whole female moaning and repetetive stuff etc. The MC rapping does so over a beat. If the beat is not somewhat repetetive, then how can he flow properly on the mic? It has to have some repetivness in it. Also not all rap songs have a female in it moaning. You're probably thinking of commercial rappers who only rap about women, money, alcohol, mansions, cars etc, people like Ludacris would be a good example of that, boring people rapping over a pop beat to make some quick money because the pop beat appeals to all the teeny-bopper fans. Any more questions or things u wanna clear up or whatever, holla back [/B][/QUOTE] Ok, You're wrong.... And I'll proove it beyond any reasonable doubt... The fact is, I said rap wasn't music.. and it's not... It's talking really fast.. sure it does have music in the background, but rapping itself IS NOT music... and I can assure you that that is 100% true... Here's the deffinition of music: 1) The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. 2) Instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm. 3) A musical composition. ....The written or printed score for such a composition. ....Such scores considered as a group: We keep our music in a stack near the piano. .....A musical accompaniment. 4) An aesthetically pleasing or harmonious sound or combination of sounds: the music of the wind in the pines. As you can see, "talking really fast" is NOT in there.... I don't hate rap... nor am I dissing it... I'm telling facts... it's NOT music.... and thats the fact... Rock music is called music for a reason.... because it contains people playing sounds that create a melody.... I'm not gonna say anything else, because I think I make my point as clear as it can possibly be.... If you wanna dis the music I like... then go ahead, but I'm not dissing rap... I'm saying it's not music... and I think it was very ignorant of you to assume I only like rock, or that my music is all rock because I say that rap isn't music.... I don't say that because you like rap you must be black... no... Your sterotypes are not always true.... PS: I am not a fan of System of a Down... in fact I protest them to my friends all the time... it's really quite funny... they get pissed... but yeah.... if you wanna listen to that crap go right ahead :p.... as long as you don't put their sh*t in my stereo lol.

    P.o.d

    POD.... Pisses off Drunk People.... or no... Anyway... not a fan.... think they are fat.... and ugly... and nasty.... and yeah.... I'd rather watch a band of Sumo Wrestlers play music... oh wow.... I'm so gonna go do that now! lol j/k.... but yeah... Not a fan... although the first time I heard Youth of the Nation I thought it was good... but then I heard it 3 million more times and I think it sucks... really... I should blame the radio stations for my hatred of many bands.... if they overplay it, I just stop listening, and then everytime I hear a new song, all I hear is the same sh*t as the last....
  3. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Goku213 [/i] [B]they're RAPPERS, so what they do is RAPPING, they're not supposed to be playing any instruments as they're not in a band. They're called rappers for a reason, and that is because they RAP on the mic, not play instruments :) [/B][/QUOTE] Exactly... you just prooved my point about rap not being music... wow... thats so the best deffinition I've ever heard of rap... and it goes well with my theory that rap is not music... just another art form of talking.... with noise... PS: I really like Snoop Dogg and I like the acting of DMX and Ice Cube... he's really funny.... lol...
  4. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Harlequin [/i] [B]You're looking at too small a picture. You can save a million starving children in Africa, but who does that effect the world as a whole? You help people who are as blind to the pointlessness of life as we are. Or on a universal scale. Aside fromt he Extrapolatio theory, whether people die, build bridges, burn them, slaughter a thousand innocents, nothing really changes. The world still spins around, eventually to be consumed. The stars still haunt the emptiness with their songs. Nothing ever changes. [/B][/QUOTE] Thats the point.... Life has only the meaning you give it. Life has a meaning to you, your family, and your friends... and then ONLY if you work hard enough, it can have a meanng to a much larger audience. But life in general has a meaning to one's surroundings, not the world in a whole. If that were the case, the world would change every 5 seconds because what Billy over in New York does would effect the whole world one day and what Wei Ling over in China does would change the world the next day... it just won't happen... I think you are looking at it on too much of a broad scale... we live in communities, those communities make up a unity which we call a country, all countrys make up a unity we call the world. We can barely influence the community, let alone the whole damn world... If life was meaningless, people like you would be dead.... why are you here? You must find SOME reason in living or you wouldn't be living anymore.... when you can answer that, maybe you'll find some meaning in life, even if it's just to one person... and that has the greatest meaning of all.
  5. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DarkOrderKnight [/i] [B]wtf? When I go there all I get is 17.2 MB of code. Is it for windows programs? [/B][/QUOTE] Yes, however, one would normally right click and download the file....
  6. If life is the most complicated thing, and you find it to be simplistic and meaningless, then damn... you must be able to do and figure out ANYTHING! Anyway... Life obviously has meaning.. everything has meaning... If you think the human life is meaningless, the what about the life of an ant? Your life only has the meaning YOU give it... if you don't give it meaning, then yes, it's gonna be meaningless to you... and it's your own damn fault too.... You live, you die... With the giving of life comes death... Thats a given and something one should suspect....
  7. The Youth in Asia are becoming smarter and smarter everyday.... Oh wait... this has nothing to do with this topic...
  8. I've never been in a true fight with anyone... and I never will either.... if someone punches me, for whatever idiotic reason they may have, I will never just simply punch back... if my life is in danger, then yes, I will and have the right to defend myself anyway I can think of. BTW, why did you bring this up? it seem random and really quite stupid.... And please, you don't know me, don't judge my life or what I may do... stick to your own pathetic life and leave me to mine.
  9. Well I saw Star Wars the first day it came out.... and I haven't seen Spider man yet.... so you can judge from there.... PS: The Episode II trailers were released/made long before most of the current Spider Man ones....
  10. Oh lord... I saw the fake Kanji written under the title and immediately hit the "X"....
  11. Well I don't like cheese, so thats certainly out of the question! But really, my favorite people on that show are Ryan Stiles... I like Tony and Chip too but not as much... Colin always great esspecially with Ryan... and Wayne has his good qualities, although his parts on the show, the singing and stuff, seem to be my least favorites.
  12. I saw that the time it aired on Conan... omg that was THE FUNNIEST thing ever... And I actually know someone who was actually there.... they said it was much funnier... My favorite part though was when he asked the guy dressed as Vader "which button calls your parents to come pick you up"...
  13. Some of you are very disturbed individuals... Oh and yes, I "accidentally" kill people on a daily basis...
  14. Why is it you continue to post topics in the wrong forum?
  15. I've had a mix of it... pretty much I've liked all of my teachers... tests don't bother me... as far as I see it, if you did your work, you should be able to pass the test, even if it's not what you expected... you know the material, you should know the answers.... But, some teachers, who don't make up their own tests and use a book test or one provided by the makers or the book, are usually alot harder, because what they teach you in class may not be worded the same as whats on the test.... I had that for my Economics teacher in College... I think everyone failed her tests at least once... and not because you didn't study or knwo the material, but because it was worded in a different way and no one quite understood it... it should be a duty for a teacher to make their own tests... and they should get paid more too....
  16. bah... I couldn't buy what i really want with that money... SO i'd probably give half of it away... if not more... I would never be able to spend that much on things just for me... Most of it would go towards living expenses probably... and then the rest I'd give away... after I bought all Gackt mechandise that is..
  17. If I ever have incredible luck, it will only be because I would surround myself with people who are incredibly bad at what they do... other wise, I don't have luck... I have skills. Or lack-there-of...
  18. Now, I don't know alot about the VA's (Voice Actors) of the American DBZ, because I really don't like it... much rather watch the Japanese (partly because I think the Saiyuu's are better)... However, I can't remember all of their names... I know: Chris Sabat: Vegita, Piccolo, Yamucha, and tons more... he's the lead VA for FUNi and also VA Director. Sean Shemmel: Gokou, Nail, King Kai (Kaio-sama) and I'm sure some others. Thats about all I remember lol. I know Planet Namek used to have this huge list but they shut down. I'm sure there's some other site that has them somewhere. And I'm sure some other people here can be of more help to you. Also I'd like to say I'm glad we have members that are older, and not in a bad way, then the average age of members here. It's nice to see someone knowledgable in life and maturity to visit us :) And you're from Oregon... two of some of my best friends live there. ALthough hell if I can remember the city... anyway, good luck on you quest for info.
  19. Ok, lets not have a bajillion of these types of topics.... if you want to do these type of quizes all the time, i suggest you get a live Journal....
  20. All the Saiya-jin's are named of puns of food because thats what Toriyama did. He puns everything in DBZ, and Saiya-jin names are just more things. It's never documented if Trunks has a child. Nor is it documented that he ever gets with anyone or anything... Since I know that people will probably post with the same answers already given over and over again, I am going to close this topic.
  21. These kinda things are ALL over LiveJournal... they have a test for EVERYTHING...
  22. It's the second episode of DragonBall, and as far as I know, the Japanese title is " Oh My, Oh My! No Balls!" The english title Idunno, and it's probably something stupid anyway.
  23. yes, please discuss this in the SW thread...
  24. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Boo-G [/i] [B] I got 2 for you guys: 1) What if v 5.0 suffered the same fate as v3.0? 2) What if the EOST was born once again?! [/B][/QUOTE] I'd assume you had something to do with it... Those two questions are irrelevant... this topic is almost irrelevant... but your questions are pretty pointless and stupid... you people could never learn to keep your mouth shut...
  25. Favorite threads are not allowed. When the rules are placed back up, you will be able to read it.
