Who do you think are the greatest band of this decade? I like Mastodon because they have old school sounds and resurrected the real guitar solo. Their work is more than just music as well, its the art and the story with each album that makes it a great listen!
I am suggesting to arrange social groups by categories. * sports * games/gamers * nations/foreign languages * history * politics * religion * arts * hobbies * miscellaneous This small improvement would help to overview and browse social groups. ------------------------------- Categories for social groups are coming in 3.8. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/blog.php?b=2329 It will be called Social Group Categories Social Group Categories Each Social Group now belongs to a category. Categories allow users to find groups that are relevant to them, especially on larger boards. The categories are predefined by the board admins. As well as providing suggestions to the users for the kind of groups they could create, this also allows admins to encourage users to create social groups that are relevant to the board as a whole. Categories are included in the advanced search filters, and can also be viewed individually. Selecting a category displays only the social groups that are in that category. When upgrading to 3.8, any existing social group messages will be moved into an initial discussion named after the group, and all groups will belong to the inital 'Uncategorized' category, which can then be modified by an admin. So here is the opportunity to suggest categories.
Richmond, Virginia 5 members: Randy Blythe - Vocalist Willie Adler - Lead guitarist Mark Morton - Rhyme guitarist Mark Campbell - Bassist Chris Adler - Drummer They're quite enjoyable. I've all their albums except the first one which was unbearable IMO. Wrath was OK, but bad compared to Ashes of the Wake and As the Palaces Burn. Favorite song - Remorse is for the dead (from the Ashes of the Wake)
Look at the title. For me it would be this.

Great, just great. Throwing more gasoline into the oil, Israel. Although I'm against both sides: Hamas plus the rest (Started the third intifada aka broke the armistice and attacking to hard) and Israel (For killing about 500 Palestinians and destroying their homes), this looks more serious. Anyway, why hasn't there been a thread like this?

TSKHINVALI, South Ossetia (CNN) -- Tskhinvali, the capital of the separatist Georgian province South Ossetia, lay in smoldering ruins Sunday after three days of fighting between Georgian troops and Russian forces.

The fighting had spread well beyond South Ossetia, with Russian airstrikes on Georgian cities and with thousands of Russian troops in the breakaway province of Abkhazia. The United States warned Sunday that "disproportionate" actions against Georgia could have a "significant long term impact on U.S.-Russian relations." The foreign ministers of France and Finland were both expected to arrive in Tbilisi Sunday evening to talk with Georgia officials about peace efforts, a Georgia foreign ministry spokeswoman said. President Bush on Sunday called French President and current EU head Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss the conflict, the White House said. Both presidents "are on the exact same page," and emphasized the need for a cease-fire, disengagement, and respect for Georgia's territorial integrity, White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe told reporters. Georgia began withdrawing its soldiers from Tskhinvali early Sunday, but Georgian troops remained south of the capital inside South Ossetia. Georgian troops and their tanks lined the road leading from Tskhinvali back to the positions they held before Thursday. Alexander Lomaia, secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, said the withdrawal was a show of goodwill, aimed at encouraging Russia to accept a cease-fire. Heavy shelling from Russian artillery also prompted the pullback. Lomaia said about 200 Georgian soldiers have died so far in Russia attacks. Video Watch report on latest violence in Georgia » Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said talks could begin if Russian forces confirmed Georgia has completely withdrawn from South Ossetia and when Georgia signs a non-hostilities agreement. The agreement, however, would have to include political changes for South Ossetia, Karasin said. "They no longer believe they can live safely in the state of Georgia," said Karasin. The fingerpointing over which side began the battle last Thursday intensified with Russia accusing Georgia of a genocidal plot to cleanse the region of ethnic Ossetians loyal to Russia. Georgia accuses Russia of executing a long-planned war with the aim of taking control of the pipeline that carries Asian oil to Black Sea ports. Russia's Black Sea Navy imposed a blockade on Georgia's coast, which it said was aimed at stopping shipments of military supplies into the country, according to Interfax, Russia's official news agency. Urkaine, a former Soviet republic like Georgia, said it might prevent Russian navy ships involved in the blockade from returning to their bases in the Crimea, an spokeswoman with Urkaine's foreign ministry said. "This statement is new to us and it requires analysis," said Russian Defense Ministry Colonel-General Anatoly Nogovitsyn. "It is a case of a third party intervening in the process, which is quite surprising." Russia's Navy leases the bases from Ukraine through an agreement signed in 1997 which expires in 2017. Russian soldiers in the breakaway Georgian province of Abkhazia warned Georgian troops to move out of their way as they intend to advance into Georgia's western region, Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said Sunday. The Russian forces plan to move into the city of Zugdidi, which is beyond the border of the breakaway province of Abkhazia, Utiashvili said. White House Deputy National Security Advisor Jim Jeffrey said the United States was urgently looking into the report, saying that it would be a very serious escalation for Russia to move into Georgia beyond the Abkhazia region. "We have made it clear to the Russians that if the disproportionate and dangerous escalation on the Russian side continues, that this will have a significant long-term impact on U.S.-Russian relations," Jeffrey, speaking to reporters in Beijing, China, on Sunday, said. Don't Miss * Russian warplanes target Georgia * Bush, Putin discuss Georgia fighting * Understanding Georgia's territorial turmoil * iReport.com: Send your photos, videos Russian forces launched an airstrike against a military airfield near the Tbilisi International Airport early Sunday, Georgian officials told CNN. The attack near the Georgian capital city came after a day of intense fighting in the former Soviet republic, with dozens of Russian warplanes bombing civilian and military targets in Georgia on Saturday. The situation in South Ossetia escalated rapidly from Thursday night, when Georgia said it launched an operation into the region after artillery fire from separatists killed 10 people, including peacekeepers and civilians. It accused Russia of backing the separatists. Russian tanks began rolling into Georgia on Friday night. President George Bush, speaking from Beijing where he is attending the Olympic Games, called Saturday for an immediate halt to the violence, a stand-down by all troops, and an end to the Russian bombings. He urged the sides to return to "the status quo of August the 6th." Bush spoke Saturday evening to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and Russian President Medvedev, a White House spokesman said. Video Watch Saakashvili talk to CNN » French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who spoke to Putin at the Olympic opening ceremonies, also called for both sides to stand down and for "the full respect of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity." advertisement The United States, the European Union, and NATO are working toward a cease-fire, and the U.N. Security Council met behind closed doors to discuss the issue Saturday. Georgia, a pro-Western ally of the United States, is intent on asserting its authority over South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Both have strong Russian-backed separatist movements. I was actually interested that there wasn't a thread like this. Why didn't Russia do this earlier? I actually wonder if Russia is helping S. Ossetia or willing to annexing them to N. Ossetia. I'll be supporting to the Georgians.
My rock interests have been changing and altering for about a year now and I find myself currently listening to music that scares children. Music that a year ago I would have hated. Here's a small sampling... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qtk9c6ZGcM I play stuff like this sometimes in my car when my girlfriend isn't arounds I am often told that it is "satanic", which it is not. As a matter of fact, those lyrics are kinda uplifting, not that you can tell, but they are... Shake it off. Pick yourself up, they say. Your life fell apart in your hands, and you’ve got the scars to prove it. It’s not the first time, and they’re getting deeper. Pull it together. Button up your shirt. Roll down those sleeves. Don’t let them see how you’ve coped. More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand. It seems like your giving up on everything you worked for. It’s pulling you under. It’s gripping around your throat. Life can be overwhelming, but don’t turn your back on the strongest crutch you’ve ever. They have always been there to brace your fall. Wave goodbye to the past. You’ve got your whole life to lead. It’s time to gain some ground :laughing-smiley-004
Is there an historical anime that doesn't really go into fantasy or sci-fi but more about war like themes: Like the Samurai aka feudal Japan or English redcoats or (maybe at bit farfetched) Napoleon's invasion of Russia?
For the love of your country please make from that picture a sig. Could you also add the line ''Wave goodbye to yer 'ead, wanker!'' plus my username? Already thanks, wanker (Sorry I couldn't leave that one out :laughing-smiley-004) ...................
