Indeed, there was tons more ground left! The racists had only JUST moved out of "well Trayvon WAS a criminal, so profiling him was just fine" arguments into "African-Americans have a self-destructing culture" territory.* There was still loads of room to move into full blown calls for genocide.

*Sadly, the second of these is an actual quote from the thread.

The Zimmerman thread should not have been closed so early; there was still far more ground to cover, especially as the ongoing civil trials begin to heat up.

At the point it had gotten to, I'm not sure much good would have came of it. I'm honestly really sick of hearing about this case, it has all gotten so blown out of proportion (not saying that murder/manslaughter is something to be taken lightly), with people on both sides of the political spectrum exploiting it for their own agenda.

Not to mention the whole "Trayvon was a homophobe" tirade by that one moron.

Well I did post in that thread a few times, and I was really interested in it when the trial was going on and just after the trial was finished, but now I'm just really tired of hearing about it. I mean we have quite a few people on the right acting as if Zimmerman is a champion of the second amendment (he's not) and quite a few people on the left saying that his acquittal is a symbol of racial inequality in America when the real reason he walked is because Florida has stupid laws regarding self defence. The only reason I posted in the latter pages of the thread is because I really disagreed with some opinions being shared. I dunno, while the case is certainly tragic, I think something like the PRISM scandal would be a more important thing for everyone to be talking about right now.

I agree. Put WHITE light in and get COLORED light out? Prisms are a reverse racist conspiracy!

Don't forget to move around. I was so nervous at my first gig (vocalist for a blackened thrash band) that while I sang pretty well, I didn't really do anything onstage and some video my friend shot had me looking hilariously rigid and unenthused for our set. Every subsequent show was much better; it just takes that first gig to really shake off the stage fright.

Whenever I'm practicing in the jam space or in my room I love to be all dramatic, throwing horns up, stomping around and such so hopefully that won't be a problem! Never know when nervousness could arise though, definitely good advice though. I think what I'm worried about is the silence between songs. I could just be absolutely silent, I think metal (especially black metal) fans would appreciate that with the type of music we're playing, but that's somewhat risky. I'm not the most verbose guy around so I'm predicting that to be the worst part of my performance - though maybe I'll be good at it since I'm so worried about it :P

Shoalwater Bay Training Area, a wonderful place full of wonderment and the largest military excercise Australia stages.

The most fun part is trying to dodge all the bushfires lit by incendiary rounds. <3 HAPPY DAYS!

Actually kind of annoyed I missed out on Talisman Sabre this year, but oh well.

Just noticed that some dude in the rec forums is looking for atmo sludge mixed with alternative metal/melodic metalcore. One thing he mentioned is Cult of Luna mixed with modern Underoath. This sounds like possibly the worst combination ever conceived, I'd rather listen to Christian rap or something over that.

The US government won't be happy until they've dropped bombs on every square inch of this world you know that. I bet that pilot gets labelled as a hero for dopping the bombs and making it back never mind the reef who cares is juat a coral reef. Go team America!

Or, most people will just go, "what the hell was he doing over there. why were we carrying bombs over reefs". Because most Americans, unlike what outsiders (and even way more fucking annoyingly) smug "self aware" Americans say, are decent, sensible people.

How's the new Baptist material coming along, Frog? I remember you saying a while back that you had like 4 (or 6, I can't remember which) hours worth of audio done for it.

That album has taken a bit of a toll on me. The first "Disc" is done ~2 hours of drone/ambient noise. BUT, the hard part is finishing the story that goes along with it. I'm essentially rewriting the Bible using fringe characters and who'd thunk that'd be horrendously exhausting :lol: but it'll be out soon.

I put it on the backburner for a more immediate death-pop/techno-noise/ambient-80s synth project called "Leather is My True North"

It's not without some ground - but obviously the proponents of the argument in this case aren't coming from even the remote area I am. But, during my involvement with various black rights groups in Cleveland, I met a massive amount of socially conscious brothers who hated rap music and the rampant misogyny, homophobia and gun culture proliferated within the black communities. The self of self defined by outsider values and artifices of success didn't help either. Of course, this is all perpetuated by a white hype machine that quite physically supports this type of behavior, but poverty is a slippery slope, and there is an immense amount of cultural forces in place that I (and quite a few Black Panthers I worked with) came to agreements on that would fall under "the self-destructive culture". Of course, I would argue that capitalism itself is a self-destructing culture...so who knows.

I took Seroquel once and it promptly triggered a panic attack and I had trouble thinking straight for a while after. Did not take it again after that.

No. I would just like to think that whoever is in charge of the missions or exercises or whatever would make it a priority to make sure that the planes have enough fuel to make it all the way. It isn't unreasonable to expect accountability from people. :thumbsup:
