OT Do something or shut up. Damned foreigners.

>From: "angry troll [OT]" <thrash(a)justablip.co.uk> >America are the problem of the world at the moment >More dangerous than *anything* else >They don't realise it >Cos their media is brainwashing them with bullshit Please don't lump us all together. Right near half of us have our heads on straight. The other half are either fucking half-wits or jack-booted ultra fundamentalist Christian Nazis. You've got a point about the brainwashing. We have a culture that spends its time sitting in front of televisions or in cars. Only in a few major cities and college communities does the art of socializing still exist. The rest of the time they sit and absorb what the television tells them. For instance a lot of Americans now believe that all cops and firemen are "heroes" because of 9/11. The television told them that repeatedly and now they believe it. Firemen are people just like any other. They are wife beaters, pedophiles, nazis, klanmembers as well as good folks and the occasional hero. Cops, on the other hand, are almost all pigs: http://www.biotechimc.org/or/2003/06/552.shtml The 6th - 9th pictures are a good demonstration. A girl leans over to pick up her water bottle, a cop grabs her, hits her in the ribs repeatedly with a stun gun, then walks away laughing. Welcome to the New World Order. You can protest, as long as you're protesting protest. Maybe if you Europeans would start speaking up over here instead of standing there gaping and mumbling to yourselves we might be able to change this crap. People are impressed by well spoken men with accents (everyone thought Tony Blair was the tits even though he constantly used multi-syllabic words). I guess that rules you out, Thrash, but I'm sure some Brits can speak without saying, "oi" and "innit" every few words. I would never recommend killing the President. Al Gore's ok by me. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)

I have no response to this paragraph except to say that it's largely your OPINION and the rest is conjecture. >Anyway, this political bullshit that's been going on on this list (for >whatever fucking reason you guys care to muster) is meant for somewhere >else. Wrong! It belongs anywhere that people have discussions. If you dont like it, leave. One of the best things about this country is that you are free to discuss. Its one thing if you wanna state your opinions (as above) I have no problem with that. But please dont try and tell me that YOUR email is any less political, more on topic, etc than any of my or thrash's emails. Or that you have any right to moderate what is posted here. >I'm here to talk about the Orb, not to read all the mindless drivel you >people fucking spew to piss people like me off. I'm a fuckin' American, >and I'm fuckin' proud of it. You can be a proud american. I am proud of certain aspects of my country, and ashamed of others. Also, I would REALLY hope that nobody finds my posts mindless or drivel-like. Kris on the other hand... ;) Naw, I am convinced that kris communicates in a sort of cathartic pseudo-fugue mode. Its weird and unusual but sometimes very witty and sometimes even poetic. >At least I can get a fuckin' heart transplant if I need one - you all in >Europe have to take a number and wait in line. <ahem> if you have the cash. Also, there are WAY fewer such operations in europe because the people there are healthier overall and dont have as much cardio-vascular problems. There's just as many lines here as there. Thats just due to the fact that there are ALWAYS way more potential recipients then donors. Have you been to europe before? Have you read studies on heart transplant systems there versus here? Are you familiar with the types of and differences between all the different health care systems in all the countries of europe? So many assumptions you make, young jedi... You're also quite profane. Moderate your anger son. :) >Now let's PLEASE get back to the fuckin' music... Yeah, uhm, the orb. Anyone want my sealed ltd ed 2xLP UFOrb with the vinyl sleeve and art prints? :-P _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Canada!!!!
by C orb 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Heeheehee.. Good one.. Im moving out of this shitty country too in a few months bLiP will no longer be a UK label! It might turn french/spainish/italian or canadian I havent quite decided yet.. Thrash come to Canada where the grass is truly greener ; ) Only thing is if you don't support silly middle eastern conquests then the American government will punish you any chance they get. ONE isolated and likely spontanious case of mad cow and the border is closed to all Canadian beef exports. Indefinitely. Terrorisim of the economic variety, all in the name of "safety". And on topic: B&T not here yet and I am going mad waiting for this sub par release from the almighty. I have only listened to a downloaded copy once but what the hell happened? Alot of the tunes are sooo generic and have none of that Orb soul that I have come to love. Maybe I'll come around on this one as I did with orblivion but so far not so good. And for the record I really liked cydonia and most of the badorb stuff. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

RIAA
by Alan 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33442-2003Jun25.html ... "The public has been educated and re-educated and re-educated again. People now know this is illegal," said Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA. "People can no longer count on just getting a warning." Sherman said the RIAA has not determined what file trading will be challenged legally, but the group plans to go after the biggest offenders first. Still, he said, "even offering one file without permission is one too many." ... The RIAA said it would use the public directories of peer-to-peer software programs and issue subpoenas to Internet service providers to track down people trading music files. The trade group has a precedent in its favor: Verizon Communications Inc. was compelled by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia this month to give the RIAA the names of four customers suspected of illegally distributing music files. ... "I think this really suggests that the recording industry dinosaurs have completely lost touch with reality," said Fred Von Lohmann, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that lobbies on civil liberties issues related to technology. "Over 57 million Americans are using file-sharing software today. That's more than voted for President Bush." ... In addition to all that I heard the RIAA spokesman on the radio tonight say, "There are enough legitimate sources of music on the web that P2P programs are no longer necessary except for theives" ... well, that's a paraphrase but not by much. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)

>>I hate when i have to ignore 95% of the postings because they are totally irrelevant>> = 96% now! >>impatient people who paid entirely too much for the japanese pressing of the new album>> Talking about Japan why is it that so many young people there are meeting online and comitting suicide together? {Didn't want to bring this up originally cos it might put ideas in listees minds (mass orb listee suicide)}. By the way any other opinions on B&T? how about you lysergic?
