Heartland

Seems to me that a crucial point in all this is being overlooked and that is that for most of the worlds religious people they "Believe" in something and that belief is not built around logic, proof or rational discourse nor is it based upon scientific method.A leap of Faith is necessary, without i...

I'm not exactly raking in the money, so unless it's an album I really, really, really want, I download it and give it a few listens. If it's below the bar, I delete it; if it's good but not really good, I keep it; if it's impossible to buy in the shops, I keep it; if it's just one particular track I...

The "intellectually sophisticated believer" may retreat to a deist-style first-cause-only-god when arguing with Dawkins, but generally pushes the goal-posts back out to the interventionist Yahweh when preaching to the flock. I'm going to have to stop you right there and say you're being biased to t...

What's that French song where the guy goes "ooh e e ooh" in a high-pitched voice? And the other French song with that guy and girl sing with the organ in the background that was really seedy?

Car.

But that would take effort.

No theist is going to be deconverted by any rational debate or argument.

*coughs*

He's as bad as theists, putting all his faith into science. I really dislike positivism, it's as unhealthy as rampant theism. I think it was Nietzsche who pointed out that each generation realizes the arrogance of the former generation for thinking they had the truth, but then makes the exact same m...

Actually, Nick, when you've come to the point of committing suicide, you don't feel pain anymore. That's not how it was for me. But that's true what you said about feeling physical pain when suffering from psychological pain, I would get this weird throbbing pain down my back and chest that were ki...

The logic that should be common is that ending all merely prevents things from getting better. Have you ever been in a situation where you're in so much pain the only solution you can think of is suicide? At that point in time, the idea of things actually getting better seems impossible. You hear p...

if it needs to be removed, then i will

You could have given a warning about the image, but I guess I should have guessed considering it's a .jpg link.

clicky Can't have been pleasant viewing :eek: :( , you wonder what goes through peoples Heads to go to such lengths :( I've suffered on and off with clinical depression all my life, so it's not surprising to me that he did that if people were egging him on. It was probably a cry for help at first, ...

I just pictured a drunken Wayne Hussy hanging from a helicopter, throwing life preservers into the ocean.

Burroughs....PISH sorry, just keeping in line with this thread :wink: http://tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~otnemem/dvdcol/comparison/pulp/pulp_fiction_108.41_uk.jpg :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :twisted: :P :tw...

I must say I used to go through Enid Blyton like nobody's business... in fact those books made a Shakespeare-like contribution to my own very particular command of the English language :wink: My mother used to read the Magic Faraway Tree series and the Wishing-Chair series to me when I was little. ...

The Catcher in the Rye, I've tried Half a Dozen times but just can't be bothered to finish it. I forgot about that. Holden, the Travis Bickle for emo posers who think repetitively saying damn and pretending to drink alcohol makes them hip. EDIT - I just remembered I tried reading Harry Potter when ...

I absolutely hated "Lord of the Rings", and Ayn Rand has to be the worst writer of all time.

That's about it.

Brilliant! We'll put it on picket signs and march the streets of London.

We'll get those pesky immigrants!

Vote BNP!

I was also under the impression that "Dance the Ghost" was a jab at Gary Marx's Ghost Dance. I wouldn't quite say it's a jab, just a simple throwaway nod to GD, who were doing quite well (around the time of the A Word To The Wise EP) by that point. I thought it was meant to be Von asking Patricia i...

Oh, and did I mention I’d also require a copy of Station to Station by David Bowie and an unlimited supply of Fresca?

Throw me on a desert island with the writings of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Shestov, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Foucault and William Burroughs and I'll be happy. Oh, and make sure there's a Deborah Harry, mid-30s, that never ages and does what...

The production and sound has definitely improved. I liked the synth in the background on “Alter of an Atheist� and the Egyptian sounding guitar solo at the end, the vocals could have been louder though. 3/5 “Guidance� sounds tighter than ever and is still my favourite Venn song (up there wit...
