For geat pop music but no coolness factor whatsoever, you can't go past the Electric Light Orchestra and the Wombles. Come to think of it, I never saw them together; could they possibly be (gulp) one and the same?

'Good was my interpretation, and based upon the statements and the article, I stand by it. ' Good for you. And I'll stand by my comments.
' Terri Nunn, lead singer of Berlin, meets with an ex-boyfriend in the lamentable "Metro."' Do you really mean 'lamentable' (synonyms: deplorable, pitiable etc.) here? I suspect you mean just that it is a lament. Two very different things!
'Umm, perhaps you may want to read the article and not just the comments? In that instance, I was responding to the comments, and I made that clear. Is this no longer allowed? Besides, I DID make a point about the article, which you appear to have overlooked. You state 'Kurt Vonnegut has decided tha
'Kurt Vonnegut has decided that ... the Terrorists must be good people!' ... 'Vonnegut goes on to proclaim them heros: "I regard them as very brave people, yes."' So who is it who's 'not smart enough to know the difference'? There is a clear indicator here that you guys have trouble arguing against
'--Lucas (Added) Oh, just in case *you* go ahead and assume. I'll make it much clearer. I took heed of your guy's words.' It would have been much simpler to have said this on the original blog. And then no one would have continued 'assuming' anything. Der.
WARNING: This is not a response to the current thread. It is a response to your previous thread, because you have disabled commenting on it. Ok, lets straighten something out. Yes, let's. People on JU don't trust you because you have lied to them in the past. You tell them they have a responsibility to s
'Aboriginese' That would be people from Aborigina, i guess ...
2 LIES #1 About me being a Dr.,etc... #2 About saying i repented, but didn't come completely clean Thats IT. Lucas, please read my post again. I have no issue with how often you lied. (Even if your description of what you claim to be just ONE lie concludes with 'etc...'! <img src="../images/
'But its up to each and everyone one of you guys to start (if you want to) to believe me again. I will try as hard as i can to earn back the trust, and respect,etc... But, I can't do it without your help.' Lucas, you may be being 'honest', but this is certainly not 'thought out'. The reason you lost the
'Sex Pistols? Weren't they the ones who everyone thought sucked ... until Sid Viscious died and made them international punk stars?' Everyone in the US perhaps, but not so in the UK. I saw them in 1977 and they were phenomenal. Indeed, many felt (and still feel, I should imagine) that it was when Vicious fi
'I'd suggest you become a teacher. I think you would stand head and shoulders above at least half of your peers in this career field.' LW, you're thoroughly rotten - to Lucas AND to teachers! And Lucas, you never said you were tall!
Roger Dean? Rush? The Moody Blues? What a bunch of old hippies! The cover of 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' - now THAT is art! (And I'm not posting a thumbnail here; if you honestly don't know what it looks like, I suggest you go and buy it immediately!)
'But, hey, it's there atm and i'll take the half hour break given to me.' Met a lot like you in my time. Whinge about paying union fees, but never refuse a union-negotiated improvement in pay or conditions. It's one of the many things that make me proud to be a union member - my union supports ALL its member
'Paul Roberts, lead singer of The Stranglers' I think you mean Hugh Cornwell. Paul Roberts didn't join the band until after Cornwell left, several years after this song was recorded. Incidentally, the song has an interesting history. It was on a demo tape the band touted around various reco
'I went to a union meeting at work the other day, largely as it was paid and I wanted a break from work.' Go ahead and celebrate John Howard undermining the rights of workers if you must. The irony here is that you wouldn't have even had the opportunity to bunk off work like this in the first place had there
My favourite from this part of the world is as follows: 'Captain Cook circumcised Australia with a 200 foot clipper.' (I guess the result was probably Tasmania!)
'I define intelligence as it being, what the student knows.' That, to me is obviously knowledge (know-ledge), NOT intelligence. I like the biologists' definition of intelligence; the ability of an organism to adapt to its environment. I think that covers all bases without getting into the more contentious ar
'I remember all this now.. i learned it in HS...in several science classes...' Wow! And all I was really trying to do was to articulate MY understanding of how it works! I'm flattered that you recognised it, Lucas. I guess I must have been taught it too ... <img src="../images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 ALIGN=
'Well....let me go over this... the sustanence in science is in the process.....and the fact that at the moment, the process will always be reliable in finding out new things, whether or not it is the intended thing... out of an experiment......?' As succinctly as I can, the way I would probably expre
'What if = idea, Science = testing tool ? (Did i get at least 9/10?)' Hmm, not bad. But as I said earlier: 'With science, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating'' </
Furry, you are to be commended for your patience. Or are you perhaps just stroking your own ego in order to amaze yourself with your superior intelligence? Thanks LW. I sincerely hope it's the former rather than the latter, although I wouldn't feel comfortable claiming there was no ego involved. However, I
'Perhaps the better word is tradition... ' 'Not all faith *has* to be based with out proof...., i disagree with the definition...' So which word do you mean to use, what do you understand it to mean, and how does your definition differ from that found in the dictionary? I do hope this discussion isn't going to descend into a meaningless Clintonesque "It depends what your definition of the word 'is' is" debate! <img src="../images/smiles
'Any science includes faith, faith in that its process will continue as it is...' I imagine you must mean one of two things by this: 1) 'Faith' that scientific findings will be unchanged. Not so. Science allows for disproof and change. 2) 'Faith' in scientific method. M
'Not necessarily...' Yes, necessarily. The faith (I am loathe to say gullibility) of those who pay for these 'services' is the only thing between the practitioners and poverty. Whatever there may be in what they do, there is no science in it. This is my whole point, Lucas!
