My BMI is apparently 19.6. How does this compare to my other BMI number? Versus y'all's other BMI numba?? How many albums and EP's have y'all made, ya...

This came up when I google-imaged "scene change" http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/004/242/scenewolf.jpg

Oh, don't presume I'm daisy-eyed here. I've been through this debate a thousand times. I agree, except for the fact that many people (although small-p...

ROFL, predicted my bullshit >:O
October 26, 2017 at 10:05
My BMI = 4 albums and 2 EPs. Not sure how that compares...?

To save is to prevent from "not-saved". The "not-saved" state is a negative state; death, harm, pain, etc. To save is to prevent this from happening; ...

That sounds like bullshit, which is right up our alley here in the music biz. Just post your email here publicly and I'll send you a 1/2 page legal do...

Agreed!
October 26, 2017 at 09:56
I am. BMI is only slightly more abominable than ASCAP, in the USA at least. So same difference. Join up, and you'll be adding your meaningless copyrig...

That doesn't follow from salvation being a willful action.
October 26, 2017 at 09:52
Yup, the motherfuckers who turn God's good creative urge into a motherfucking laundering money-making scheme. All hail capitalism. And also Jesus.
October 26, 2017 at 09:51
See above...

But one of several.

BMI is basically the devil.
October 26, 2017 at 09:47
Pretty boring.. Oh don't worry, BMI does that. I'll just make sure you register. >:)
October 26, 2017 at 09:44
No.

Who says I have to, other than you? Now that's more interesting; I would pick some form of liberal libertarianism (see Portugal) (practically), and an...

Neither; anarchism.
October 26, 2017 at 09:37
Sort of. Compassion is a state of mind; Salvation is an action.
October 26, 2017 at 09:37
Yikes. Doesn't sound applicable to me. I detest both.

Why did this thread get renamed?

I read that as a rap and it was perfect; you just need to complete the last sentence.
October 26, 2017 at 09:11
I'm all too familiar with all of that. (Y) Perhaps a topic for another thread.

Interesting; I had a really great percussion teacher, but other than that, not much. But I did develop a belief in my own musical genius. But it hasn'...

God, I'm starting to re-read all of my own posts in David Lynch's glorious, nasally, monotone voice. Actually, all of my arguments sound way better.
October 26, 2017 at 08:48
I didn't mean to be condescending there, but that theme of lacking someone who believes in you has been a major theme in my life, so I made the assump...
October 26, 2017 at 08:42
It's an interesting juxtaposition. I see salvation as the supersession of compassion. The will is the genesis of both. The will, divinely impregnated,...

It took that guy to make you realize that? (seriously). :s Will this be successful?

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, I was trying to highlight the subjectivity of depression. What's the point of posting the Shkreli video? Especiall...
October 26, 2017 at 08:31
I agree, but I wanted to highlight that depression is not always traceable to one specific cause. My depression, after long, detailed analysis done by...
October 26, 2017 at 08:23
So you mean to say: death. I know. I intuited that you meant something negative by saying "coping mechanism". But that's not always the case; sometime...
October 26, 2017 at 08:18
This isn't a counterargument to mine. Explain? On your own terms, not Schopenhauer's.
October 26, 2017 at 08:10
This doesn't follow. Rather, compassion requires stimulation of the will to help another, and salvation requires stimulation of the will to save anoth...

Where did you find this faith? I don't understand this at all. Yes, it absolutely is that. But how can you or anyone say that that is objectively wron...

I was literally addressing an apparent typo in your statement that I quoted which was confusing, but I'll respond to your post since it's interesting....
