You didn't get it? It was a refence to your statement "i knew
that was coming" or whatever the exact verbage was.
NeilI received a mix from a local AE a few days ago and I'm totally mind
boggled.
There are instruments and vocls placed outside the normal stereo
image...like 12" outside of the speakers.
I was wondering if any of you might know how this was done...he swears no
esoteric plugins were used in the creation of this effect.

ps. I'll try to get permission to post the song so you can hear what I'm

i did. its why im interested in this discussion.
a childish "i know 100% percent im right" attitude
isnt exactly helping, but at least in parts your
post gets over the standard stereotype attitude. it seems to
help that i repeatedly write about the things i dont
think, even though it doesnt fit into your arrogant euro pacifist drawer:
- i acknowledge the use of force as concept to end a conflict.
it often is the most peaceful way to go.
- i acknowledge the use of force as concept to end a conflict.
it often is the most peaceful way to go.
- i acknowledge the use of force as concept to end a conflict.

yes. too bad it wouldnt work because their religious
fanatic idiots. theres a reason why i talked so much
about the good timing of rabin. you gotta force religious
idiots into their own good. too bad the timing wasnt quite
right and a handful of steps at a time was still to
extreme of a dialog for some extremist idiots. it
wasnt even an islamic extremist idiot but a jewish one
who ultimatively destroyed it all - but it could very
well have been one.
> Why do you euros never demand a DAMN THING from the
>arabs and the palestinians, you hypocritical, arrogant fools?
oh we never demand a damn thing from the arabs?
thats funny. usually, especially where i live, its a tradition
to not ask anything from israel (obvious reason being
germanys history, were simply in no position to ask *anything*
from them). maybe you should study the people you want
to call hypocritical arrogant fools a little more before
you go ahead with it.
but ive had enough of the stereotype discussion. suit yourself
and bathe in your stupid clichees if it makes you feel
any better.

I think we Europeans knows that "being big" allways have made problems when
trying to be bigger than
big:-) Big with weapons in hands are often showing up these weapons as their
only "brain" when conflicts are coming.
Our worlds problems, that started the first worldwar, was already coming in
1864, when Bismarck made the big, German nation under the hegemony of
Preussen. It was the oldnordic traditions with the God Wotan (or Odin in
Norwegian) that then again was showing up in the people. It's showing well
in "To an unknown God" from 1864, from the pen of Nietzsche, one of the
greatest German philosopher and writers in those times. The feeling of being
big was setting the standard of human thinking hundred of years back in time
in those days, maybe thousands. So the next 50 years was showing up with
more and more problems, first of all in the southern region of Europe, in
Austria and Hungary, where their minorities was suppressed (as the german
minority in Austria, after the first worldwars ending, where Hitler was born
and grown up, knowing the suppression on his own body). So the fatal shot in
Sarajevo from a Serbian, that killed the Habsburger prince 28. June 1914,
was just the drop that started it all in "old" modern times.
I'm seeing exactly the same pattern in American behavings in our modern
times as it was before the first world war. American sivilians generally
don't know what a war is on their own body without their own civil war that
was overupheating from the south with South Carolina in front, when Abraham
Lincoln was being President in 1860. The American nation was splitted in two
in those days with 11 states in the southern part and the rest in the
norhern part, as far as I can remember in my readings about America. But I
think most of the Americans are knowing these badly story very well.
As far as I can understand in readings and seeing, the human feelings
haven't changed much since then in north and south, after observe what's
happening in the last two president votings.
As Dejj wrote about the observations to the indians, I can see a nation of
different nations that really have big problems

with trusting each other
after a long history-background. from their real homecountries that they
have travelled from. So maybe it's really understandable with their "shoot
first, then ask" menthality that's often showing up. The real American are
nearly nonexistencional(what a word, I don't know if it's correct written at
all) in America, as far as I can understand but I'm seeing Dejj have learned
to do some observations from them about the "new" Americans, that's just
seems to be German, French, Scandinavian etc. etc.
So, as far as I can understand, the only real Americans are the indians.
Hmm, I'm thinking too much when doing too much observations, it can be
dangerous when thinking so much too much:-) But never mind, I have had my
life, but our children and grandchildren shall take over the heredity and
environment from us in the coming world. So I mean it's well worth to do
something for them too, so maybe they can have real trust to other nations
too, for a better future.

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
my friends you are surely missing the point.<br>
<br>
The idea that you should keep killing "them" before they kill you is is
pretty sociopathic I think. Please remember a few important things
about the "war".<br>
<br>
Let's start with "them". The dehumanizing of others is an important
diagnostic point in the evalutation of pathological personality
disorders. Underlying this is the idea that one is not harming a
"person" but a "thing" or "non-person". It allows the ego to remain
intact while performing otherwise unthinkable actions. <br>
<br>
But who are "them"?. For the most part they are normal, everyday
famillies like yours and mine. Shop keepers, TV reparimen, gas station
attendants, secretaries....who only want to live freely, in peace,
raising their famillies and living their lives. "They" are not, for the
most part, combatants. Or they weren't before the US got their.<br>
<br>
The US has done more harm in this region, to the people and their
country, than Saddam ever could have. The US, in it's quest for
middle-east domination vis-a-vis their oil supply, has turned a
thriving people (albeit with nasty leadership) into an empoverished,
toxic waistland.<br>
<br>
And for you who can't see the forest for the trees, let me make the
fairly-fucking-clear observation that if you have a natural resourse
that someone else wants and they decide to come and get it from you by
force (the Chinese could do this) You will be labeled "insurgents" and
you wives and children will suddenly become "enemy combatants". Oh,
what, if someone invades you you're gonna sit on your fat ass and let
them take you home? No, you are gonna fight them off, you nasty
terrorist scum...or so you would be labeled in the media of the nation
invading you. (quite likely in the name of God)<br>
<br>
Wake up you collective heads of knuckle. What the hell do you think's
going on over there? It's people deffending their land, their homes and
their lives from - Foreign Invaders! Fuck me, how dumb do you have to
be not to get this not-to-fucking-subtle point? If the shoe were on the
other foot you would react no differently.<br>
<br>
One of you nazis, don't remember who, said in another thread that they
thought it was "them" who were doing the bombing, not "us". Just as a
reminder, the US has been bombing Iraq into a god-forsaken moonscape
since '89. Over 500,000 children have died since then as a direct
consequence of US military, oh-so-compassionate, action.<br>
<br>
And please knock it off with the old "well they bombed NYC so we're
retaliating." chestnut. If you take the time to read the statements of
Bin Laden you will see that he's not a nut at all. The reasons he gives
for his actions are clearly backed up by all objective histories of the
conflict in this region, A conflict that does not, as someone here
falsely assumed, go back millenia. PS, it wasn't Iraq that did the
bombing, Saddam had nothing to do with it.<br>
<br>
The Arabs and the Jews were living peacefully side-by-side well into
the 20th century. This is fully backed up by historians, check it for
yourself. It wasn't untill the US decided to create a client state in
'48 that trouble began. Hey, stoopid, how would you feel if China
decided it was going to give Native Americans an offical homeland and
they decided to hack off a piece of New York or California and kick the
citizens out, putting the Natives in charge of the state and relocating
you "terrorists" to camps in outlying regions. It's pretty fucking
obvious why the Palistinians are upset.<br>
<br>
And as for Iraq, only the dumbest of the dumb are still parroting the
solidly discredited lies the were conjured up by the US gov't to
justify this invasion. The historical fact is that the US and it's
allies have been meddling in this region since the 1800's in order to
capture the oil supplies. <br>
<br>
See where I'm going with this yet? If you substiute terms you'll see
quite clearly that they can do no differently, just as you would do no
differently in their situation. A small, defencless nation, Iraq must
do what it can to get the US out of their country. Yet you continue to
cast their self-deffence as terrorism. Shame on you psychpaths.<br>
<br>
So, should we continue to speak dispicably, idioticly, inhumanly and
pathologically of increasing and sustaining human carnage and
suffering, as you have proposed? Or is this type of thinking actually
the fuel that fires these war crimes.<br>

But then you're making them mad and breeding millions more of them. The
answer to this may be exactly what GWB is wanting to do...........give the
people a say in their own lives. Of course, this pisses off the religious
zealots who want to keep the population in lockdown, the Sunni's in Iraq who
used to be in power in Iraq and now are not and the those who think we are
exporting democracy at the point of a gun because they don't like our
policies. Funny though, I sure don't see the general population of
Afghanistan clamoring for the return of the Taliban. I also don't see a mass
uprising in Iraq in favor of returning Sadaam to power.

<pre wrap="">In a nutshell...
I think if there's room & resources enough for both Israelis &
Palestinians in the region they want to live in, I think they
should quit fighting & come up with a plan. HOWEVER... this is
essentially a 3,000 year-old family feud we're looking at over
there, and my point of view may be a little too simplistic to
deal with the situation. I am not very familiar with the
condition of the agricultural situation there, but I understand
it's not the best in the world - in that case, both sides
should realize that there may not be enough resources in that
immediate area to provide for as many peple as want to live
there... that's a problem, because you can't import everything
food-wise. Israel is our ally, and we should stand by them, but
I also hold the position that some kind of solution could be
arrived at if both sides want peace more than war. OK, now
this is the part where you rebut & tell me what a narrow-minded
American I am, and how wrong my opinion is because you're
Eurosuperior to me and have a much better world view because
you read about cowboys & rodeos in Oklahoma & the drug problems
in Miami in Der Spiegel & had a US soldier live next door to
you & he was a dick, and of course, all Americans are exactly
like he was.
BTW, the Israeli thing is VERY different than the situation we
face with radical Islam... they do NOT want peace more than
war, they only want to kill all the "infidels" and sing praise
& glory to their blood-soaked god Allah, while trying to knock
the rest of the world back into the 12th century, economically,
societally, and politically. So, knowing this, and seeing what
they've done beginning on 9/11 and continuing to this day, I
think a slightly "different" approach is what's called for.

Erling,
The *only* reason tht I posted all this stuff was that I was trying to make
two points that I don't think I made.
The first one was to try to give some small background of my life that was
relative to the idea that I had a lot invested in my hopes of how I thought
the world could be and so did these folks from Europe and all over the world
really, though most of them were from Europe and the US.
The second point was that I was absolutely floored when these things were
being observed and shown to me by people who were about as familiar with
Europeans and Americans as beings from another planet. I didn't like hearing
this. It certainly didn't fit my picture of how the world should be and what
is really scary about it it that no one but the Indians even recognized what
was going on.
I'm nothing special. Everyone has their own reasons for believing what they
believe. My post was well meant, but in retrospect, it seems sort of silly
to me and I shouldn't have even wasted my time or anyone else's time on
this.
Regards,
Deej

I honestly never followed Dan Rather enough to notice his bias. It's

thats a difficult question to answer. Rather's only involvement was doing
the news that day and commenting "That looks like what we've all seen when a
building is destroyed by well placed dynamite" a simple observation, one
which I have shared, and one which you are willing to dismiss due to the
source.
It's typical to shoot the messenger when they dont agree with you.Hmmmm..........OK..........NPR has some credibility with me..........crow is
warming in the oven. I'll check this out and try to keep an open mind.

nister Confirms CIA Involvement in 9/11"
Or this guy:
http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050613-102755-6408 r.htm
"A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing
serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former
chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's
first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse
of the WTC is "bogus""

Wow...........sorry to hear that Erling. That's sad stuff. What is it with
these Canadian girls? My girl was from Simcoe Ontario. We were together for
over two years. Of course, when we went down to Mexico she stayed at the
Canadian posada and I stayed at the American one.

I've heard it said before, usually by United Statesians, that these
verifiable facts are non-the-less lies. I have not, however, seen anyone
actually put forth proof that what I am saying is incorrect.
So, DC, for you to say that I am lying you must put for some evidence
for your claim. Prove it!

es these doctrines
are proven bankrupt by the evidence it matters little,
because such beliefs are near religious in nature
— a secular creed that will brook no empirical
challenge.
These articles of faith apparently fill a deep psychological
need for millions of Westerners, guilty over their privilege,
free to do anything without constraints or repercussions,
and convinced that their own culture has made them
spectacularly rich and leisured only at the expense
of others.
So it is not true to say that Western civilization is at war
against Dark Age Islamism. Properly speaking, only
about half of the West is involved, the shrinking
segment that still sees human nature as unchanging
and history as therefore replete with a rich heritage
of tragic lessons.
This is nothing new.
The spectacular inroads of the Ottomans in the16th
century to the gates of Vienna and the shores of the
Adriatic were not explainable according to Istanbul’s
vibrant economy, impressive universities, or widespread
scientific dynamism and literacy, or even a technologically
superior and richly equipped military. Instead, a beleaguered
Europe was trisected by squabbling Protestants, Catholics,
and Orthodox Christians — as a wealthy northwest, with
Atlantic seaports, ignored the besieged Mediterranean
and Balkans and turned its attention to getting rich in
the New World.
So too we are divided over two antithetical views of the
evolving West — Europe at odds with America, red and
blue states in intellectual and spiritual divergence,
the tragic view resisting the creeping therapeutic
mindset.
These interior splits largely explain why creepy killers
from the Dark Ages, parasitic on the West from their
weapons to communications, are still plaguing us
four years after their initial surprise attack.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars/But in
ourselves, that we are underlings."

if it could stay in the general section i would be much less distracted and

at least i know i can expect such unbelievable BS in the general section.
i don't mean to offend anyone on any side of the "debate".

Here's a pedal that does it. I own one, and it KILLS. It sounds so
dang good I leave it on all the time (and I never do that) and it works for
everything from metal to country to jazz.
It also works terrific as the front end of a modeler or other guitar
preamp for direct recording.

Absolutely my favorite guitar processor of all time.
DCYou guys are right. I think both sides have been adequately
represented, I think both arguments have been well-made.
I think everyone has made their minds up at this point. Hostility
and name-calling is creeping in to what was a pretty darn
civilized discussion. It's quickly becoming pointless.
I am tracking a hard rock tune of mine and need to get back to work and this
really isn't the place for this discussion. If you want to
email me privately, I will discuss it further, but really, we've covered
the subject, don't you think?

erman and
U.S. governments began to institute a variety of measures intended to
destabilize and fragment the Yugoslav federation. These measures ranged
from economic ones such as denying loans and demanding immediate repayment
of outstanding debts to arming separatist (some with ties to the European
fascist movement) movements in the Yugoslav republics of Croatia and
Bosnia-Hercegovina. As for Kosovo, Serbia has indicated that it would
grant Kosovo the autonomy it once had. However, the KLA and others now
demand independence with the eventual goal of uniting with Albanians in
Albania, Macedonia, and Greece and forming a Greater Albania. This is not
acceptable to either the Serbs, Macedonians, or the Greeks and would
probably cause this war to spread to those countries along with Turkey (who
supports the idea) and perhaps the rest of Europe.

Don't forget that Bush Sr. gave Saddam the nod to go ahead and invade
them, then turned table and used it as an excuse to invade Iraq. I was
trading in oil back then and I remember a business associate of mine
telling me that when in Washington he'd been told a tidbit about Saddam
screwing Bush Sr out of 20 billion dollars that Georgie wanted back.

What do you call what the US is doing to Them? As a point of clarity,
the US, by illegally invading Iraq is, according to the Geneva
Convention, murdering people. How do people deffending their land from
Foreign Invaders became murderers? Arn't they defenders of their homeland?

The US is pretty corrupt and it's policies are entirely one-sided. Let's
not forget that these people are like Menonites compared to the average
US citizen. No drugs, no liquor, increadibly harsh on crime, no
promiscuity...not unlike the tenets of the Bible that the 80% of the US
espouses but fails to do. USians are hypocritical/fanatical in the
extreme and they don't want what they percieve as US ultra-sinnfulness
polluting their nations.

This writer is monumentaly ingnorant. They don't envy us, they hate us.
It's not, "Geez, Trish, I hate you buying that top..I wanted it."
It's more like, "Geez, Trish, I hate you for buying that top that
reveals so much. You should be ashamed. I'm going to kill you for this."

Oddly enough the same thing is true about Canada, but I don't see how

So, a middle class atheist is the same as a middle class Baptist? So
they're middle class and educated, many of the activists of the world
are. But the idea that they covet our high-speed internet and SUV's in,
well, retarded at best.

Because they are Christians, like the US, who is killing them anyway.
The Islamic Jihad is an opposing system of morality. The US never went
to El Salvadore and said that they were evil, and that the US war was a
war on evil, a crusade, as they did in the middle east. They used
religious language to make a point demeaning the very underlying premise
of the Jihad. Bush + God = We are Rightious. Islam + Allah (who is
Satan, right?) = You are evil and must be smote.

China never invaded them, bombed their country into a moonscape, took
them prisoner and tortured and humilliated them against the GenCon or
forbade them to fly over their own country. ..remember the no-fly-zones
of the '90's?

Just as the US cares more about bombings IN the US than in other
countries. Also, you have a charter that says the state must keep out of
religion. Can you imagine a headline that reads, "US Invasion to Free
Christians".
Muslim is a religious word. Defending "Muslims" per se is not what Bin
Laden is atttempting to accomplish, but the ousting of US invaders from
the countries of the middle east.

I'm not certain what the point of this, and many other of Hanson's,
statements is, but it's irrelevant.
The fact is that once the doors to overthrow were opened by the US, ever
faction who believed that their way is the best way stepped up to the
plate. The Wahhabi are so extreme that even Bin Laden sits up and takes
notice when they speak. They are Way more fundy that he is. He took US
money; the Wahhabi never would.
But here's a substitution of terms look at all this. If the US were
invaded and society were disrupted to the extent in is in Iraq, or not
even so, do you not think the disparate, extremist factions here at home
would step up? There are many well armed factions in the US who would
not hesitate to attempt to claim the leadership; Arian Nation,
Republicans, Democrats, all those well armed Christian movements, not to
mention the millitias and any other clutch of nuts with guns. It happens
in every country where the gov't goes down...all the rats vie for the
cheeze.

Conquering other peoples nations and transforming them into US

I agree. It's like tying a battered wife to a chair so she can't hit
back while you punch her in the face. (Now, I'm not a wife beater,
should you wonder, but the US acts very much like this common type of
sociopath.)

I disagree that these truths of modern history/politics is in anyway
scued to the Postmodern. Although, having read Lacan and that ilk I can
say without distraction that the rightwing ramblings of Mr. Hanson quite
closely resemble the chock-full-o-nuts gibberish of the Po-Mo world.

Morality is relative. There is proof of God and there is proof of the
human origins of the Bible. So, this being true, then all morality comes
from humans and is therefore arbitrary, regardless of your place on the
US political spectrum.

Perhaps not, but the underlying motives are the same. Still, a torture

and it's still wrong.

Why should he come to the table? It's his table and the US isn't
invited. The idea that we should, for some reason, forget all the harm
the US has done over there underlies everthing Hanson writes. Doesn't
matter that the US spent more than 20 years decimating and interfereing
with their countries, including Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria to name a
few. Oh, no, it's all about 9/11. No it isn't.

Panama? Evil that needs to be violently smashed? Huh? Let's not forget

the world. Why do you think that when asked about whether Bush was going
to bomb the gov't said they would not because, "it's not our mission" to

like so many USians, such as the wealthy who are intollerant of the

Which brings me to an interesting point: the US is the most religiously
fundamentalist extremist bunch outside of the Mullah's of Iran, and are
hugely intolerant of Blacks, (no bigotry isn't dead), Atheists, Gays and
Liberals. The US is the bigest bunch of bigoted wackjobs on earth.
Nothing personal, it's just my observation.

While this is emphatically true of writers of the Right such as Coulter,
Limbaugh and Hanson, and it's been clearly deliniated point-by-point by
they intelectual superiors, the same cannot be said of most of the
neutralist and centerist writers.
The right never "proves" anything, it just makes up things as it goes
along, forgets the fact of historic and policital documents and proceeds
with a string of bad logic and ad hominems that add up to nothing but
blusterous rantings.
I've read a great deal from both sides and, though I'm a centerist - if
you need a term to grasp - I find that the left at least is interested
in the truth and the facts whereas the right is mostly fiction and
slag-offs. I have never seen a rightwing document that had the numbers
right, the facts right or was anything but a screed, although I enjoyed
it for it's Lewis Carol-esque-ness.

Guilty over privilage? I've met a lot, I mean a real lot of privilaged
people (my wifes familly is amoungs the upper crust of NYC, so I've met
people as diverse as Noam Chomski and Donald Trump and some of the Bush
familly who were at our wedding), and I've never met one who felt guilty
because of their privilage. Oh contraire.

See, I told you so. So, literally, it isn't the East who war against our
civilization, it's the "half of the West", the violent and insane half,
that is fighting against "the dark ages of islam".
And there you have it folks, the real reason for the war - the overthrow
of dark-ages Islam.
The nice thing about writing from the right is that people with mental
illness will invariable show their hand. There pre-disposition to
crazyness can lead them to do no less.
And that's what Hanson has done.

It's an AWARD Bios. I took your advice and made sure I got AWARD. That's
what I'm used to anyhow. It also has this Gigabyte "Dual Bios" thing with
two copies of the BIOS, so that if you flash it or get a virus and corrupt
it somehow you can just switch to the backup BIOS. :o)
I'll get Paris running tonight. She seems pretty quick though. Boot time
is about 4 x quicker.
And there's something wonderful about seeing 1,048,576 come up as your ram
count. :o)

What, that XP couldn't handle the change, or that I did the dodgy and didn't
re-install cleanly?
I'll be buying new HDD's in about 4 weeks so I can't be bothered re-installing
everything and then doing it all again. I know I should, but right now I
just want to get it up and running and check it works.

fresh install would really help with the new computer feeling, but most
importantly rule recycled windows out as a problem should you encounter
something down the road.
just messin though, I've done the same thingDeej that doesn't really seem to be worth it, but have you considered adding
a hamster army spinning a bunch of wheels? Might want to put it in another
room and run some cables, cuz that shit can be loud.

oh yo youre holding me a lecture about how not to jump to conclusions? heh
:-)
sorry btw that i didnt reply - was quite busy doing a
film score. im still not done but while the bounce is running,
let me say this about your numerous tactical scenarios:
see, the point is, you talk about potential losses,
losing parts of western germany and what not. im sure
you will agree that from a german point of view, the
stakes were even much higher, cause for a german it was
the own country that would fall.
with that in mind, it was germanys call, it was out decision
to make. germany chose the deescalation and diplomacy route.
long before reagan and gorbatchov started cuddling btw.
and what do you know, it didnt go too bad.
thats where we go back to the "both can claim it was their
approach that made peace in the end"-part, meaning,
thats where we start going in circles and ill leave it at that.
i really better stay out of this for now. i just discovered
that "im ready for nukes" thread...this is no place for me anymore.
it probably hasnt been for a long time.
