"Beatles" and "Zeppelin" are not good examples of 60's-70's rock. Beatles are exceedingly mediocre, and Zeppelin is exceedingly awful.

Me? Eh, what the hell. Here's what's on my library right now (favorites are bolded):

Akima & Neos, Alan Parsons Project, America, BeeGees, Bill Withers, Billy Joel, Boa, Bob Dylan, Boston, Boston Pops, Buffalo Springfield, Chicago, the Clash, The Commodores, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Dazz Band, Deep Purple, Depeche Mode, Dire Straits, DJ Hex (Sam Potter, for those of you who know him), Do As Infinity, Don Henley, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Earth Wind and Fire, Edwin Starr, ELO, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Foghat, Genesis, George Benson, Gerry Rafferty, The Guess Who?, Gundam W, Hall and Oates, Heatwave, Inkspots, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Jackson, John Cougar Mellencamp, John Lennon (NOT the Beatles), Meatloaf, Napoleon XIV, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Rush, Sir Mixalot, Steely Dan!!! (most definitely my favorite band of all time, and the best composers I've ever heard in my goddamn life so help me god [who doesn't exist]), Supertramp, Sweet, Tavares, Terror's Martyr (follow the link- but be warned, it's all... ...unique music :P ), Three Dog Night, Tom Lehrer (I LOVE SMUT), Tom Petty, The Who

EDIT: One of the bands above is most definitely in my profile. A cookie to whoever gets it right first.

By "over here", I'm assuming ef means Deutschland. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Most people nowadays that I know are switching to PCs due to price and the more open market- Apple parts are made exclusively by Apple, and a functional mouse for a Mac costs more than a functional mouse for a PC of some sort. Now, even the school I go to is switching platforms. (Of course, the Macs they had were old iMacs, and were hardly functional in any aspect of the word.)

(If you can, try to find someone with programming experience who can port it to either platform to you. You'll probably open up a sizeable market of buyers.)

Mandate of Heaven was more a reference to the ancient Chinese emperors who were allowed absolute rule in times of prosperity, only to be kicked out (and possibly slain) in bad times, under the belief that the gods were no longer smiling on him. It had nothing to do with Christianity.

I'd go after David's points, but Alorael got to them first.

My soccer playing is limited to pre-4th grade. One time in 7th grade during recess, however, I learned an exercize in pain. I was playing defender (aka "Bowl everyone over and kick the ball in their general direction with intent to cause injury"). Everyone else was offender (aka "Run like hell from the defender"). In a period of 15 minutes, I was nailed squarely in the balls five times, and only quit playing after the fifth.

About red wine- Alcohol is far from beneficial in those circumstances. From what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong), it's the anti-oxidants in red wine that help you live longer. Alcohol (as in the substance) is a poison, and in and of itself has no nutritional value.

Now onto your other points (however I probably will be repeating myself):
1) You mean to tell me that you (or anyone else, for that matter) think you have the mandate of heaven to tell me what I can and cannot put in my system? I don't see any laws on the books that forbid me from drinking 1,000 needles, but that's plenty more dangerous than snorting a teaspoon of powdered hallucinogens or smoking a fat blunt.
2) Who decides where this "mystical, magical cut-off" line is? Can you possibly comprehend how your definition can be construed to make every activity except for reading scripture illegal? How could you gague the "danger level" of certain activities?

(Again, I apologize for wasting more bandwidth, but it appears as if Sir David has refused to respond to my last post sufficiently, and unless he wants a case full of holes, he's going to have to answer my previous post somehow.)

I'm sure this doesn't address all of what you said, but I'm talking about the more harmful things. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that smoking a cigarettes is a bit more dangerous than eating a piece of chocolate (which reminds me, is chokolate a British spelling, or just a typo?)* . If you're going to use that kind of logic (yes I know it was sarcasm), then those who exhale should receive as much punishment as serial killers.
...exactly my point. I'm not advocating what I posted; what I posted was a mere extrapolation of the definition you gave of legally punishable acts or substances.

* Chokolate is probably a typo.

FYI, Arabic spellings can be interpreted in any phonetically correct way, considering that English and Arabic characters are obviously different. (Hence there being two common spellings of Usama/Osama.)

And also, keep in mind that I was 12-13 when I wrote these.

Wait, wait, wait... You're saying that our repeating what she herself said is wrong? As far as I am concerned, she openly said these things to be fact:

* She was almost raped as a child, but her brother/father (I think it was brother, can't be sure) saved her with a gun
* She was burned while young in a barn fire
* She has a sickly father who she has to take care of
* She married a virtually unremarkable man in order to escape her father. She failed.

Others can add to this at their own leisure.

Anyway, I said "bad", not "addictive". LSD is bad for you, just because it's not addictive doesn't mean it's ok. Also, even though you are not addicted physically, you could be addicted to it in the way that some people are addicted to candy. And yeah, caffeine's bad too, which is why we have decaf, and which is why I said there should be research to discover ways to make caffeinated coffee less addicting.
So wait, you're for illegalizing anything that people might like that could possibly do them harm? Chocolate makes people fat and gives them more carbs than they could possibly need, and under your definition, can be addictive. Yeah, you're right; we aught to start hurling those choco-snorting hippie bastards into Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Arse Prison, for doing something to themselves that can be uner some warped definition be considered addictive and bad for them. Ignoring the fact that there will be a dangerous chocolate black market, which would follow the trend of there being a violent, muderous underground market every single time a substance has been legalized (Alfonz Capone, anyone?).

And again, you're using the theory that people should be able to do as much harm as they want, as long as it doesn't harm others. You are being an ignorant idealist. Treatment, outreach, education? Sounds good. Let them harm themselves? Sounds bad, and even if it were right to let people do whatever they want to themselves, death affects more than one person. Have you forgotten the little "family" thing? Or those stupid little "friends"? Oh well, as long as the person feels good for a minute or two, the years of anguish and suffering mean nothing.

I apologize for advocating the freedom to live one's life as one sees fit. Obviously, the state is a much better determining factor for how we live. It's ignorant to believe that I can live my own lifestyle, when obviously, doing what is best for everyone is a decision that I must make, and this doctrine must for the sake of all of us be enforced by law.
----
My god, how brutally totalitarian are you? If you're going to outlaw things that harm you, you might as well outaw everything under the sun other than cold showers and bible studies. Almost every single activity that mankind does has the chance of killing them, is done for their own pleasure, and can (under your warped definition) be considered addictive. By your definition, this makes it illegal. Why not just make an army of clones to work six days a week, and go to Church on Sunday? When I say this, you have no reason to be flattered: You utterly horrify me.

If you think harmful drugs are OK, then apparently they/we do know better than you. And again, if you persist in this belief that it's ok to harm only yourself, fine, but just please remember the family and friends.

So wait, you're saying that if a person wants to live their own life in a way you don't agree with and can possibly be harmful to themselves, then you know what's best for them, and should throw their sorry ass in prison and try to prevent them from ever doing something that might just possibly harm them ever again? You're saying that you know how to live somebody else's life? I'd sooner slit my own throat then let you (or anyone else, for that matter) tell me how to live.

On friends, etc- If it's the state's duty to prevent emotional damage, then you're inherently treading on every right imaginable (not that I think you'd actually care about civil rights, but just a thought). Why not make teasing illegal, because it might just give other children scary complexes? Your almighty God knows that the State cannot allow children to be emotionally damaged, and thus teasing must be punishable by criminal law! Children with complexes are unhappy, and one day, they might even grow up to smoke DRUGS!

Shame, losing a member who has plenty to say. I'd be leaving, but I'm fairly sure that SM can and will be banned. (Alorael just recently posted a topic on the mod board asking for his banning.) After this happens, I might end up leaving, but I'm hoping it will do some good changes to the boards in general, and maybe bring the discussion level of the boards up.
