This is a silly discussion! Music is subjective, there is no empirically good music so any big universal evaluation is moot!

This is a statement regarding the bill from Jena Longo, deputy communications director for the Senate Commerce committee: "The President of the United States has always had the Constitutional authority, and duty, to protect the American people and direct the national response to any emergency...

Well said :D

And so using that logic if our justice system kills it too doesn't deserve to survive. That's how I see it; the death penalty should not be enforced for any crime. He should have a trial just as every other accused person and he should be protected as every other citizen is before this time...

Cut your hair (I know everyone else said this but seriously, it's a fair point) Don't break up with that hispanic chick, she gets craaaazy hot later on (you could totally hit that). Sleep with more girls before you decide you're into guys - at least then you've given it both a try (and...

It actually sounded more like a heavy Australian accent. But then again it was meant to be a 'bad' South African accent.

From MY perspective it's about being happy. But fair point, the original poster did say that. Life seems always to have involved rather a lot of work throughout history, but I for one would be pretty darn bored without it.

I don't see how a lifestyle can be 'infiltrated' by chain stores. Sure people always seem to be after the next must-have product but they can do what they want and I say good luck to them and their lives. I hope they're happy and I don't think consumerism will ruin their lives. Just because...

What makes you think consumers are ignorant? Of what? Debating is fun - please indulge me :P I just think that sometimes the desire to be different and the self-righteousness which it entails can take over your life to the point where a bit of mainstream culture can be refreshing and fun.

If people are happy being wallets then why stop them? If your global outlook encourages depression, cynicism and general snarkiness it doesn't seem like a winner :P

Nobody, obviously. We're staking people's lives on our society's morality if we kill them and seeing there is no universal truth in morality (that we know of) we don't have the right. But if I HAD to choose then I'd say the Klu Klux Klan, religious extremists and anyone stupid enough to...

I think you should get a job you like lol. Because if you have one then those 'dreadful 8 hours' would become bearable if not enjoyable. Just because we're working doesn't mean those are hours lost from the individual to a corporate machine. Make the hours your own and enjoy 'em (I realise how...

Haha even though I'm gay that's kind of true, but it's not about acceptance so much as general campness. And the whole salt in the wound thing only works if you got injured in the first place... which I'm pretty sure ya didn't.

Natalie Portman. The striper scene in Closer is classic!

Massive lollipops - they look so good but they're so unwieldy!
