The off topic thread #2

[Cooldude]

The thing I learn most from West Wing is that Martin Sheen is a smooth mother****er

You know you can argue with someone and not fall out. We do it all the time in the pub.

Anyway, Cruyff aside who I no longer have any time for, it was he who abused me first in another thread and then asked for a thread ban in here. I've not argued with anyone else, you just choose to see it that way cos you are a sensitive type. That's not a criticism btw

That is a criticism because you mean it as a put down. You know exactly what you've done this morning and it's been plain to see for most people on here.

It's a pretty good summation but there's plenty more that could be included.

How they dealt with John Spencer's death was superb.

Then you have Donna's trip to the middle east etc.

I won't post too much more so not to ruin it for JD but you get the idea.

Yeah those were the first that came to mind, but there are so, so many examples.

The Wire is another great show that is a deep-thinking, insightful show.

Not at all, you choose the way you take the bait at the end of the day

We can't ban someone for being a negative nancy

Shame. Some on this site take negativity to a whole new level. Like depressing to read levels of negative.
What I'd give to have mod powers for just one hour.

 

[SM]

I asked him to justify it

And I did, and predictably you've ignored it because it doesn't suit your narrative.

So you agree it was bait, which is precisely my point.

I keep meaning to watch the Wire. Got Sons of Anarchy up next, I might have to finally watch it after that.

Yeah I've only watched a few episodes but have heard great things.

You'd remove the whole Hawthorn board haha.

Of the Wire? I don't know why but I'd thought you'd watched the whole thing.

The Soprano's is great TV. Although that's more a pure entertainment show, rather than focusing on larger themes.

What are you music tastes FT. I'm thinking prog rock?

Prog Rock? Yeah alright:



Still an awesome game.

Well, I did note earlier that aside from AR Rahman, I don’t have any loyalties to any musician, just whatever sounds good to the ear, which can span different genres and eras. I doubt you could find any real common link. For me, I do find a lot of joy in video game music, because well, I’m a fan of trying to match music to the current situation or mood (or trying to alter it if need be.)

I’m the kind of guy that would have any of the Cross Examination music from the Ace Attorney series or any of the Puzzle themes from the Professor Layton series whenever I’m working on something complex or studying.

Outside of that, I do take a liking to classical music (which again emphasises the ‘feeling’ and ‘atmosphere’ ) and I suppose cultural music tracks or world music (thank you FIFA and EU4), so I guess about… hmm, 75% of my music either is just music, or in another language (and there are some really beautiful and in some cases, meaningful foreign songs, especially once you understand what the lyrics mean in English (This might sound contradictory with the next paragraph).

So, the actual English lyrical parts, I’m not really one to go digging up philosophical holes (though there are certain elements that I might recreate for other purposes.) If the music and lyrics have got its own… well… ‘character’ about it, then its going on the playlist.

There is one common factor about my playlist, I will almost certainly have something for everyone, no matter their tastes.

Reminds me when my relatives came over, and I had to take them to Sovereign Hill for the day. I don’t need any talking, I just play the tracks to match the journey and conditions, and I’ll just go from there.

As for actually posting anything up here, I think most of it will be lost because well, as noted, I think I have more foreign stuff then I do English stuff. It’s not because I think the English stuff is lacking, I think its probably more because I’m harsher towards the material?

But as noted, if it sounds good to my ear, I'll give it a listen.

Wouldn't even get to them in truth (well maybe a couple )
When a team in a preliminary final has a thread on the coach with more replies than the Leppitsch, Buckley and Hardwick threads combined... well that's where I'd start.

Nah I've watched a bit for uni assignments as an analysis of US culture, which were really interesting, but haven't had the chance to watch more.

Yeah definitely have The Soprano's on the list too, it's coming up soon hopeuflly.

You've not seen the Soprano's?! Oh SM, I thought you were better than that

 

[Cruyff14]

Ah diddums I can't get my voice heard so I call for a thread ban!

Lol

No, you're acting like a complete knob. You know it, and everyone else does too.

Stop drinking and posting. It doesn't end well. As we all know.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

And I did, and predictably you've ignored it because it doesn't suit your narrative.

There you go again, throwing in a barb. Just leave them at the door and we might get somewhere. As they say don't hate the player, hate the game

hahahahahahahahaha.

You came onto the looking for an argument. You said so yourself. You've clearly got an antagonistic streak - which others have pointed out - in you which you can't shake, and obviously love having a go at people.

Whether you're having a bad day or just want to take it out on randoms on the internet because you think it's fun, it's kinda concerning either way.

 

[Cruyff14]

Sorry, I should look at you as an example. Because your behaviour is oh so exemplary!

 

[SM]

All you've done is throw barbs. I've responded logically and rationally and you've ignored it.

When I said argument, I mean a debate with two opposing views. Also, in England we believe Aussies have a thick skin, even more so than ourselves - so I post with that in mind. It seems to upset people though which isn't my intention. It's all just a bit of fun - well supposed to be

What barbs have I thrown?

I'm agnostic Catholic - I believe there is something/someone out there but I was raised a Catholic so my beliefs are that of the catholic views but if someone proved to me that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world then I would happily change my view.
