    Try Cowboy Troy. It's rap and country and his songs get stuck in your head forever.

    As for jazz, I know jack shit about that too. Some of the very few bands I know...
    I recommend Spyro Gyra for smooth jazz. Great moody songs.
    Down to the Bone makes beautiful smooth/acid jazz music. Try listening to "The Zodiac" and not like it.
    Then there's Absynthe Minded, a Belgian band but they play in English. Their most well-known song is "My Heroics, Part One". They blend jazz and soft rock, which I guess would make them jazz fusion musicians. Another jazz musician from my country would be Tooth Thielemans, who is a master of the harmonica.
    Also, if you want to stray from the traditional jazz path, you could check out John Zorn, either solo or with Naked City. He's categorized as avant-garde jazz. It mixes jazz with grindcore and has some punk elements. Not for everyone! Many people would just call it noise.

    Flower Of Flesh And Blood, if that's even worth calling a movie. It was a piece of crap, but the content was a bit disturbing I guess.

    Ah yes, the 9 minute rape scene.

    I'm open to the possibility of aliens. Our planet's ability to keep life forms has come to be due to a number of beneficial circumstances, our distance to the sun for example. It's needless to say that this may have happened more than once in the universe though. It's all a matter of chance.

    Who says they are necessarily hostile? I can think of a bushel of other reasons for wanting to visit civillizations on other planets without forcing the residents into anything.

    Then re-iterate what everyone has already said. Everyone else does it.
    Also, there actually have been people who have been "agreeing" with you. Someone even quoted you in their sig. ;P

    You're such a sweetheart for trying to make us feel good.

    Nah, I can tell the difference. I knew you were joking.

    Trust me, I have no reason to be butthurt aside rom you giving me more work. And I guess I can forgive you for that.

    Well, the biological responses are still present for example. The muscles in your arms and legs receive more oxygen than the muscles in the bowels for example, who have less need for immediate oxygen.
    Notice that this "psyching up" is a natural reaction, a biological evidence of fear, but that it offers advantages both when you choose to run or when you decided to defend yourself.
    If you don't analyze the attacking creature as dangerous, in other words if you feel no fear, these responses are not triggered. Of course this is taken from a purely biological point of view.

    Aside from the ones you mentioned (limiting myself to music for the time being):
    - I hate Katy Perry for constantly trying and failing to be controversial.
    - I hate Billie Joe Armstrong for meticulously whoring out punk rock.
    - I think Trace Cyrus deserves as much hate as his sister.
    - I hate Avril Lavigne for calling herself a rock star even though she didn't know who David Bowie was at the time.
    - I also hate Beth Ditto for making people think that being fat is nothing to be ashamed of while, last time I checked, being a slow, sidewalk-blocking, unhealthy piece of meat and choosing to be so is nothing to be proud of either and has been dissuaded by doctors.

    Next troll post has a warning on it, Johnny. Come with arguments and I'll even overlook you calling members idiots, but we both know you have nothing of the sort. :D

    "Courage is not the lack of fear, it is acting in spite of it." - Mark Twain
    Think about it. Just because some people choose fight over flight does not necessarily mean that they are not afraid.

    Maybe it isn't the taste but the lack thereof that they recognize. Because as far as I know, the taste buds of dogs are comparable to ours. They know five basic tastes, just as we do.
    This is just humble guessing though. Feel free to prove me wrong on this.

    Dear khv,

    Congrats on getting laid, if it came to that. In either case it seems like you two had a great time.

    Dear khv,

    The four bases can be memorized with the easy trick of "The Four F's":
    1. French
    2. Feel
    3. Finger
    4. Fuck
    (5. Fetish)

    Oh please tell me that really happened. That'd be FML-worthy.

    Dear khv,

    I'm guessing "second base" but maybe they got to third.
    Then again if you reach third you might as well run for a homerun... You don't just freeze at third base.
