    We need to have a second Woodstock. Except it wouldn't be called Woodstock because it would be in The Netherlands where there would be cheap hallucinogenic mushrooms.

    I suppose you refer to the difference between witnessing another's pain and inflicting it yourself? Then allow me to apologize for mixing up sadism and Schadenfreude, because I mostly targeted the latter in my reply.

    That being said, I can still justify sadism in a number of cases. If I, for example, were to pry open the emotional scars of someone's former dysfunctional relationship purely for my own enjoyment (and believe me, I have), then I have the full right to do so. Why?
    Because whatever hurt him/her actually happened in the past and I can expect him/her to be over it by now.
    Because I'd merely dig up the truth and re-iterate it. The truth may be told, anytime, by anyone, for any purpose.
    Yes, I am enjoying myself at someone else's expense. Yes, I should mind my tongue that whatever I say doesn't backfire. Yes, I should expect vindictiveness. They're all rules of the same game and I'll bend nor break yet fully exploit them.

    I think it might be, considering she may well be a 20-year old übernerd who has been pulling our collective legs all this time. Either way, she could have picked it up in a lot of places and thought it'd be funny.

    But yeah, it could be someone else pretending. Guess we can't tell at this point.

    People tend to like someone who finds pleasure in the small things in life. Why shouldn't that include someone else's misery? The more things you find pleasure in, the better for you.
    I see sadism and willingness to help out as two very different concept that can coexist in a single person. Being sadistic doesn't deserve being looked down upon.

    I think sadism is a positive characteristic in a person rather than a bad one.

    I see "being in love with someone" as an excuse for failing to admit that you can't cope with your own shit.

    Being fat is a choice 99% of the time. Don't go all "big bones" on me when it's plain visible. Godzilla and Moby Dick have big bones; when you're hyperventilating from going to the mailbox and back then you're fat.

    I hate most kids. I see them as a necessary evil to keep the human race running, but they should stay out of my face if they know what's good for them. I don't know what to say to them, and they don't interest me.

    This and only this.

    I write poetry too, and I'm probably the polar opposite of what emo stands for.

    Actually, it's that what makes you emo in my opinion. Not the way you dress, not your hairdo but the way you think and feel.
    So yes, all emos are like that, in order for them to be emo.
    At least that's how I see it.

    Omfg!

    Yeah, I'm working on some now. Me trying to multitask often leads to awkward mix-ups like that.

    Hmmm...No, I don't have that. When I see a weird unfamiliar word or name I try to come up with a pronunciation that I find suitable and hold on to that throughout the entire book.

    I read the first stanza paragraph, then I predicted the punch line.
    You high school kids get an A for Unoriginal Problems.

    Makes sense. I didn't read the OP because it's an ugly text wall but I see what you mean now. The OP doesn't even specify if they'd make Earth a better place for us or for them.

    And yet, out of all the things she could have done with that, she chose to milk the most generic, overplayed, pre-chewed, brainless kind of pop music there is to an extent not seen since Britney Spears.

    Yeah, I shamelessly stole CtR's idea and am making my own thread about it now. Thing is, there are some areas and genres that I'm very inexperienced in. CtR has mentioned a couple of them (hip hop and country), but that's not where it ends (yeah, I know, a Music section mod who doesn't know anything about music, it is a disgrace). So would you guys mind helping me out here?

    My point of interest (and lack of knowledge) that I want to work on first is electronic music. I don't know if there are many fans here but I'll give it a try regardless. I'm mainly interested in these:
    • Dance
    • House
    • Techno
    • Ambient
    But suggestions from other genres of electronic music are welcome too.

    There's a second main genre that I'd like to delve deeper in, and that would be folk. I'm especially interested if you happen to know bands that mix folk music with rock (yes, I know Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, but thanks anyway) but pure folk or mixtures with other genres are welcome too.

    Much obliged, people. :)
