One earns a living directly from their political views, the other used his non political celebrity to start talking politics. You may not see a difference, but others might.
Personally, I'd be happy if both disappeared forever(provided Robbins takes his gal pal with him).
Yet idiots in the US clammor for celebs to speak on their behalf in front of congress. I know that when I want to know more about ALAR and it's effects, I look to Merrill Streep.
The ISS is as big of a money pit as the Shittle. It servers little to no purpose and is detracting from he ultimate goal of Humans in Space in any kind of useful manor.
A Lagrange Point for the ISS should have been the bare minimul requirement. But instead, NASA had to justify the use of the pissant shuttle. UGH!!!! The shuttle killed human spaceflight and they still use it as an excuse to F up future projects.
I wish I could go back in time and shoke the shit out of the person who came up with the idea of the shuttle.
sorry, just not a fan of today's "music". And believe me, I am not alone. Defend it all you want. Call us troglodytes because we don't see a turntable is a musical instrument, etc... But I believe the proof is in the pudding(sales records). Granted, as people get older, they tend to buy less music. But My purchasing has groud to a halt as I've almost NOTHING of redeeming value. And I have stuff from Pantera, to John Denver, to Dr. Dre in my library. So I know it's not ALL me.
I neve rclaimed to be the "be all end all authoriy" on todays music. I said that it sucks. You took it to mean something other than my own(and others in this thread) personal opinion. YOU mistook an opinion for Tautology.
All I have to say is good luck with your efforts to police the internet by getting eveyone to add "In my opinion" before expressing their opinions.
Me? I think anything an artist wants to use to make art is just fine. I get to decide whether I like it or not, without making normative statements about the "realness" of their chosen tool and medium.
Which is why you don't understand that a lot of people think "music" today is horrible. Many people don't think "anything" is a legit musical instrument.
"anything" may be an implement for an artist, but I prefer to listen to musicians when I want to hear music.
Meh. sorry, I don't do EMO and it seems that just about everything new I hear is whiny crap. I hope you enjoy your angst set to "music".

iTunes Sales 'Collapsing'
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I've backfiled my collection to a small degree from iTunes. Mostly in the 1-2 songs per album way you describe. I agree 100% with the original poster. I purchased just about all I'm going to purchase from iTunes because I have a pretty solid collection now. New music is total garbage and because of this, my iTunes purchasing habits have mirrored exactly what has been described - slowed to a snails pace.
I don't know why this was modded 'funny' - it is very insightful.
You don't know why it's funny? I think YOU are the one who is confused here. If you want an example to how amazingly Biased the media is, look at the whole Abramoff schandal. When it's a GOP'r named, it's front page/lead story on CNN,MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc... But when DNC'rs are involved, it drops to the D section of the paper or not reported on at all.
The main stream media is more Biased now than I ever remember.
Wouldnt' any bill allow for exceptions like the use of pretexting for criminal investigations? Seems like a pretty flimsy excuse for downgrading the bill.
So it all just comes down to who has the biggest pockets.
Current breakdown of the California State Senate - 25 DNCers, 15 GOPers. But I thought only GOPers who bow to big business?
.. this is used against Democrats. AS long as you can find GWB when you search for 'miserable failure', it's A-OK. But once you begin finding Barack Obama when you search for 'style over substance', for example, THEN and only then will Google do something.

meh. I can't spell worth a damn. I admit that and spell/syntax check multiple times for any work related items. so I can live with it.

I bet they had to ban all Canucks for fear of them clubbing it.

OK, that makes sense now. ;)
There is none, provided the press reports YOUR point of view on stories. I think I have all the info I need on you, thanks very much.
So you are saying that the BBC does not/did not have it out for Blair?

Any "system" that allows CNN to shows enemy snipers picking off our troops, all to CNN's delight, can't be ranked that low.
