My thing about the moon landing has always been this--with how hardcore the space race was between Russia and the USA, if we faked it the KGB would have found out and burned our asses with it. Just like with 9/11 stuff--someone in the goverment would have had said something about it with proof if Bush did it, unless you A) Believe the Illuminati and Jews did it, or B) Honestly think that everyone who is right wing is a souless bastard who doesn't care at all about America and would gladly kill 5,000 people to make money (which doesn't make sense to begin with since the effect on the economy was a pretty big shock) and would keep this all under wraps--every single one of a conspiracy that would have needed at least 50 people in on it--most likely even more if it was some big X-Files deal. Guilty!

Nope. Theres TONS of Jewish musical artists, head over to www.jewhoo.com and look in the music section if you want a list, theres some surprising ones. Klezmer would maybe be the closest? I wouldn't call it contemporary, and it definitely isn't pop - but its very Jewish and its still being made.

THE ONLY CONSPIRACY HERE IS VALUE!

YES!

Play more rap!

I just got the new Eels CD, its pretty good.

I was just being a douche bag.

So a bin Laden walks into a bar... Bartender says "WE DONT SERVE YOUR KIND HERE..."

Oh man, I hope you're being sarcastic.

Modest Mouse are from Issaquah, WA, not Seattle. Duh. Portland, OR isn't a bad spot for music right now. Quasi, The Decemberists, Lifesavas, The Helio Sequence, UHF - they're all outta Portland. Also, we're the home of Everclear and The Dandy Warhols... and, uh, Quarterflash. If you could count a region, the Pacific Northwest is always amongst the leading regions, if not the leading region. K Records being located in Olympia doesn't hurt.

No, he is. It's just the sad reality that we live in a country where there are enough dumb fucks who would believe the absolute worst about someone, no matter how incredibly illogical and improbable it may be, simply because they disagree with that individual politically and philosophically. And apparently we have a few of those type of people on this board. You learn to deal with it. Like by taking up liquor or chain smoking an entire pack of cigarettes just to take the edge off of dealing with these folks. You must NEVER stop questioning events of this magnitude. The real sad reality is that people immediately dismiss this sort of thing as liberal propaganda and don't really look into it (thats not a statement directed at anyone in particular, because I know a lot of you do your research) In this instance, I don't buy in, but it happens all the time, this bullshit logic. If you question the legality of affirmative action, you're a racist, if you support the war you're a redneck - that sort of thing. I see it more coming from conservatives than anyone lately, though. Politics have become SO partisan that if you question the President you're just a bitter liberal. Probably not that pertinant to the thread, but I felt like bitching.

What about the people who never worked there who had their retirement funds invested in Enron, you giant douche?

DUDE THAT HAPPENED!

Timbaland is fucking rad.

My 2nd pick is gonna be Cherokee Parks.

Kevin Duckworth is MINE.

I said Portland and Utah would and Phoenix and Dallas would NOT make the playoffs this year.

Now... I'm not some Hip Hop elitist, but there is NO WAY Eminem is the greatest rapper of all-time. I don't think Eminem even thinks of himself as the greatest ever. For my money, as far as mainstream MCs go 1.Biggie 2. Jay-Z 3. 2 Pac 4. Nas 5. Here you could put either Ice Cube or Eminem

Not enough hip hop.

I think any Kobe/Shaq team is going to finish at least 8th, unless either suffers massive injuries. In any case, of course there are other changes besides Shaq, and they deserve mention. I would point out, however, that there are no examples of a Shaq team finishing below .500. This is true, but Shaq has never "gone at it alone" ala Kobe this year. He had Hardaway and.. probably someone else I can't remember in Orlando, Kobe and Jackson's schemes in L.A., and he has Wade and Jones in Miami. I'd like to see what a team that concentrated completely around Shaq and Shaq only would be like. Thats not really fair to Shaq... you can't name one team that has made any sort of real championship drive without a second, or even third fiddle.

I gotta say I like pretty much all the songs that have been mentioned already - except the British ones and Vanessa Carlton. I love pop music...

I don't know about you, but I would take a $2,500 scholarship in a second. Plus, there are FAR wealthier people who havn't set up anything of this sort - at least hes doing something. Considering how much he charges schools for speaking fees --- he isn't doing much. -=Mike Demand sets the price, you can't fault Moore for taking what he can get. You guys are clearly just grasping at straws to rip on the guy. Honestly... do you even realize what you're saying? You're talking shit about someone for GIVING $5,000 to college students. Straight up silly.

Yeah I'm so hurt. Seriously this is one of the most uptight boards I've ever seen. You guys all have issues. *yawn* Now I'm going to go cry because this dude on the internet doesn't like me. Seriously do you guys think that people care when you sit there behind your keyboard giggling saying "I'm about to own this dude totally!" Because really. It doesn't affect my life. Dama, I know you're hurt. Its because I have POWER.
