• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Yourself on the internet, eight or so years ago.

    Eight years ago, I wasn't on the Internet. Four years ago though? I was awful. I was reading posts from when I was fourteen and on here. Christ on a bike, how did you guys not just repeatedly defenestrate me or something.

    Where do you get your spiritual fulfillment?

    Part two could involve reading a newspaper and realising that not only are most people not enabling the Church but a lot of people have just turned their back on it altogether and those that haven't are mostly pushing for reform. There's only a tiny minority actually sticking by the Church as it...

    BREAKFAST SPREADS

    You have somehow neglected to mention Philadelphia, the greatest cheese spread known to man. I will forgive your offense on this occasion, however.

    Most Anticipated Upcoming Albums

    It's been out for a few days so I don't know if it counts, but Marilyn Manson's new album came out earlier this week and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Half-return to his earlier industrial sound, half-refinement of his metal sound, 100% fantastic production, very clean and tight...

    Voting USA 2012?

    He quoted you and then ranted about Europeans applying their standards to the US. Maybe I misinterpreted what he was saying, but it seemed to me that he was accusing you of being a European and applying European standards to the US rather than being a US citizen who actually has liberal views...

    Voting USA 2012?

    I think Danni and opal have made perfectly eloquent points against what you're saying, so I think I'll just round it off by pointing out that the person you're quoting is Cuban and lives in Florida.

    Should I buy a theremin?

    Probably because it's made of different parts, does different things and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to a Radio Shack modem in cost.

    Should I buy a theremin?

    Except it's not a modem, it's a theremin. The two are completely unrelated.

    What are you reading? II

    Read Catch-22, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, Superman: Red Son, Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Just started Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I'm hopeful because Anathem by the same author is my favourite book of all time.

    Voting USA 2012?

    But you can't know ahead of time that it will be irrelevant. When you make the decision not to vote, you're assuming it will change nothing, when you can't possibly know that. And yeah, voting is the continuation of an argument, but you don't expect your argument to be considered when you vote...

    Voting USA 2012?

    Of course your answer matters. According to your logic, indifference and opposition are the same thing, which is obviously a crock of horseshit. Also, most people will take an analogy as is, but if you want to keep pushing it, avoiding getting punched is successfully finding a third option...

    Voting USA 2012?

    If someone walks up to you and says "you have a choice, you can get punched in the face or the dick" and you say "eh, I don't care enough to make this decision", then you can't complain if they punch you in the face or dick. You didn't even try to stop them. But if you say "no, I don't like...

    Voting USA 2012?

    I don't get to vote since I'm not America, but you could be reasonably sure I'd back Obama over Romney if I was voting. And I would never and will never abstain on a vote. He who is offered the opportunity to participate in the making of a decision and refuses it for no good reason, loses the...

    Possible Worlds?

    By your logic, there is no highest truth, since as long as we can speculate that more and more exists, there is more existence which we have to take into account before we can speculate. It's a self-creating, self-sustaining problem that makes no logical sense. The only thing that we can...

    Possible Worlds?

    Since we can only know that which occurs in our world, a complete view of our world is the objective viewpoint. Since the whole point is that these other worlds cannot interact with our world in any way, then, yes, it is logically identical from an objective viewpoint. I don't even get what...

    Possible Worlds?

    Uh, actually, I'm sure you'll find I said they might as well not exist because they can't interact with us and vice versa. The point I was making is that even if they do exist, it doesn't make a difference, because they can influence or affect us or our world in anyway. Your "logical mirror"...

    Possible Worlds?

    Because you asked for other people's opinions, not for people to parrot your interest in the topic. My opinion on their ontological status is that if they exist they might as well not because there is no way for them to interact with us and vice versa, they are unknowable. If you can't ask for...

    Possible Worlds?

    Since they'd exist beyond the boundaries of our universe, wouldn't interact with or influence our world in any way and the concept doesn't serve any significant purpose beyond being a useful literary device (as far as I can see, anyway), if they do exist, they may as well not, since they're...

    If you had your own band/group....

    I've also been in a few bands but I've pretty much accepted that my control freak tendencies make me a bad person to be in a band with, so I only do solo stuff anymore. I've played keyboards and bass for a couple of bands, as well as vocals. Band names were Begging to Bleed, Underwater...

    Which of these should I go to see?

    What Watershed said, except for the bit about having seen Arch Enemy.
