Btw, I actually got a half-decent ham and cheese sandwich on a plane once.

I always get stuck next to the strangest people, when I fly unaccompanied. I remember this dude, all he did was stare into his Bible, never switching the page, just staring. And there was also a woman who must've been a preschool teacher, as all she did was plan out papers that had schedules like "nap-time" and "feeding time."

Well, either a preschool teacher or Dick Clark.

Sure, some people (a pretty small amount, to be truthful) find swear words offensive, but it's not gonna stop people from doing one of two things: "fudging them off" or violating the filter just to get their point across.

It's like having a two-foot-tall picket fence in front of a building that nobody's supposed to go into; there's no doubt people are going to jump over it, because not only is it easy, but people tend to want something more if they can't get it.

Well said, Beth. I wasn't talking about you, just people in general. Also, I'm sure that the people using "rape" so casually didn't really know any better, and it's become such a regular word in their vocabulary, that the actual meaning has become insignificant to them.

No, I don't mind you asking. She's doing much better now than she was 6 months ago. And in 6 months, she'll be doing better than she is now. The first few months afterward, she stayed with me and my family because she couldn't be alone. She slept in my bedroom, on the floor, in a sleeping bag. It broke my damn heart. This is a person I've known 25 years. Of our group of friends, she was always the strongest one, physically and mentally. Nothing rattled her. She could walk through the projects wearing $5 million dollars worth of diamonds and not be scared for one second she'd get mugged. She wasn't reckless, she just didn't scare easily.

She's living in a new apartment now with a roommate who's a really great person and she was able to go back to work and get the majority of her routine back. She's my hero.

Perfect examples. Casually using this term is of course a British thing which means something entirely different to Americans. If you called a woman that in America you'd be slapped or have a drink thrown in your face or worse. But it's just in fun right? Sorry, it's not funny. It's classless no matter who says it.

It's ridiculous, heck I know inflation has risen and cost of living and what not but c'mon, seriously, enough is enough! There is NO way tix should cost as much as they do!

I myself see little reason to buy an album made nearly forty years ago; the rationale for album sales is to support what the artist does financially, and this only applies if you're buying music that's been released in recent years. Buying music made in the 1970s does absolutely nothing to support what those artists were doing back then; if they're still doing it now, they'll still have album sales now, and if they're no longer active then there's no need to support their work.

So when I got into the band and started collecting their work.....they weren't out there making more albums and touring. So by your rationale, I shouldn't have bought any of the vinyl albums/CDs that I did, because they weren't making anything at the time and buying the older stuff is just a waste.

I'm sorry, but I don't think so. How else is someone going to start collecting an artist's work that they like unless they buy it? I'm not going to download something I want to physically have. I like taking the vinyl out and putting it on my record player -- you can't do that with an mp3.

I support Pink Floyd because I'm a huge fan. Part of that is buying their back catalog. It's not going to make a hill of beans difference to them financially whether I do or I don't, but it means that there's another person out there listening to and loving their music, the same as someone was when the records first came out.

Legality doesn't equate to morality. Legality comes from morality (or should, in theory); it doesn't define it. In this particular case, changes in technology have changed the effects of laws to bring them out of step with morality; this is reason to adjust the laws, not the moral code.

Regardless of if the record labels and big business are the ones who profit the most or if an artist is dead...
Some of my remarks are certainly hypocritical. I think some of us can say we have borrowed an album or disc from a friend and made a copy for ourselves which perhaps resulted in a soft loss of revenue. But to regularly over indulge in file sharing, in this instance is getting something of value without proper compensation.

Heh, I don't usually care about top lists, but it's always nice. I would have thought Dark Side of the Moon would be placed higher though... Isn't it one of the most popular albums of all time?

78 minutes is a VERY long album. Is it a double album or just single disc? Or am I asking a stupid question? haha

Yesterday, we went to the Guilford County Animal Shelter and got ourselves a new kitty, because they need homes too. His name is Beau, and he's a very classy and refined cat, as evidenced by his tuxedo:

I used to have a cat when I was 3. We were still in Canada back then. I used it as a couch, so it bit me and ran away. I never saw it again. My father and his exgirlfriend used to have a dog called Hind, but when they broke up, she took it. We bought two cats around 2 years ago. My father thought they were extremely annoying, and had absolutely no positive feelings towards them. I personally thought they were funny and cute...except for the times where they stuck their heads between the fridge's door when I was closing it. That was very funny. But, yeah, when they realized my step mother is expecting, they had to give the cats away, and they did.

Childishness?! Sir, you have insulted my honour.

You know what this forum needs? A good conspiracy to attract new visitors. Let's spread the rumour that Pink Floyd is reuniting to release a new album.
There, problem solved.

The official "Lady Floydian Gets a MacBook" day has been pushed forward to sometime this coming week, rather than later this month. So, so freakin' excited.

Cool, both my son's have Macbooks and must admit they are better than my present windows 7 machine but then I guess they use computers to the extreme with art and music etc. Enjoy the excitement because that alone is healthy.
