i was actually warming up to pewdiepie when he said "yeah, i did all the screaming and yelling for views and i regret doing this." that was pretty cool.

...and then this happened.

(also, the nazi thing i could forgive because that was part of an artistic expression. not quite the same as randomly using a racial slur in a stream.)

Do liberals here have a conservative on this board they like to argue with?

in this topic, not really.

on board 8, some. particularly foolmo. he's a total asshole and he certainly has his flaws as a debater, but he's a gazillion times better to argue with than any conservative regularly posting here.

FWIW, i think corrik is probably the best conservative in this topic - i don't think he's trolling so that makes him a lot better than most of the others by default. he's just INCREDIBLY stubborn - when someone explains he has something wrong, he'll sooner accuse that person of being a liar than consider the possibility that he's wrong. if he would be less hostile towards liberals and less convinced that his stances are undeniably correct he'd probably be a decent conservative to argue with.

getting your panties in a bunch over "the face someone makes" is another. That's very childish.

no, it's not. tons of adults do this.

The fact that you and many other liberals are controlled by your emotions impedes your ability to think rationally. And without thinking rationally, there's even less of a chance for you to understand complex matters such as geopolitics.

lol. yeah, all liberals are "controlled by emotions and irrational," while the arguments conservatives make are 100% rational and logical. just look at this gem, for instance:

http://usbacklash.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Pretty-Conservative-Women-Ugly-Liberal-Women.jpg

not sure why you're even debating me if that's how you really feel about me, btw. i'm completely irrational and controlled by emotions, so what's the point? you can tell me the sky is blue all you want, i'll just keep saying the sky is purple because i'm so overwhelmed by my emotions.

And I won't even go into other reasons, e.g. you not reading history or pre-20th century philosophy. Your preference for reading somebody's annotations over the cold facts themselves says all that needs to be said.

interesting that you're completely aware of how much philosophy and history i've read.

My observation stands.

no, it doesn't. disliking people is not "childish" (it's a fundamental aspect of adulthood), i'm not "controlled" by my emotions (whatever the fuck that means), and my dislike for people says nothing about my knowledge about geopolitics. so your "observation" is total bullshit.

Song of One Hundred Fifty-Nine Days Ago: The Torture Never Stops (from Hammersmith Odeon)


Taken from that same '78 tour as "Rat Tomago," this is a full version of "The Torture Never Stops." Frank's guitar solo here isn't quite as good as "Rat Tomago" (his playing is a lot more subdued here), but it's still good.

Song of One Hundred Sixty Days Ago: Rat Tomago (from Sheik Yerbouti)


We will also get a new "The Torture Never Stops" version in that box set (or maybe even multiple versions), and the guitar solo section will sound something like this. This Frank guitar solo is actually excerpted from a "Torture" that was played the following year, but the band is exactly the same, so it should be pretty similar nonetheless. I'm very much looking forward to this, as "Rat Tomago" is one of my favorite Frank guitar solos period. The firepower coming from Frank's guitar here is amazing.

Song of One Hundred Sixty-One Days Ago: Jewish Princess (from Sheik Yerbouti)


Excerpted from one of the six '77 Halloween shows that are apparently going to be released in the box set I discussed two posts ago, though this version (like most tracks on Sheik Yerbouti) is overdubbed to hell and back (there was no kazoo player in the original version). If we get the overdub-less version of "Jewish Princess" in that box set, that would be quite interesting! (I still have no clue who IS playing the kazoo in this version, BTW.)

Song of One Hundred Sixty-Two Days Ago: A Little Green Rosetta (from Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III)


This song mentions Steve Gadd, who was a major influence on Vinnie Colaiuta. Worth mentioning that Gadd played with Steely Dan. His drum solo in Steely Dan's "Aja" is great!

Zappa News:
- New album to be released on 10/13: Halloween 77. It's 3 CDs. Source: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0756BBL86/
- New "costume boxed set" (?) to be released on 10/13 as well: Halloween 77 (again). The contents of this are unknown. Source: https://www.amazon.ca/Halloween-77-Costume-Boxed-Set/dp/B0758BQPY7

Also worth pointing out that back in January, Adrian Belew stated on his Facebook that he was working on the liner notes for a box set containing all six shows from Halloween at the Palladium in 1977. That is probably the second item; obviously six full shows could never fit on three CDs, and only the second item is referred to as a "boxed set." The first item is probably a selection from the six shows - that would be the same approach as the one that was taken with Hammersmith Odeon. However, CDN$105 (the price listed on Amazon for the "costume boxed set") seems a bit cheap for a box set that contains the six full shows, so who knows. The official site has not mentioned anything about either of these releases yet, so we will have to wait for more info, I guess.

If you put something on twitter, and then get banned, yeah, that's you getting kicked off of a private platform.

But Google is not twitter. Google is a lookup system. Google is the lookup system. There isn't really competition (Bing is a hoax created by the Chinese). It's kind-of like if the dewey decimal system refused to list some authors.

uh, not really? there's tons of alternatives to google you could use, as evidenced by the list in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_search_engine

not saying all of these search engines are necessarily great (i'm not familiar with all of them) but at least some of them are fine. if you don't like bing there's always yahoo search, for instance. not sure how it's comparable to the dewey decimal system.

if anything, twitter is a better example of your point because that site doesn't really have any competition, to my knowledge. and they, too, have every right to ban people who post stuff they disagree with.
