From what I've heard, the grammatical theory behind Japanese isn't
|
||
that bad. BUT, not only are there huge problems learning the different
|
||
pictographs (I know about fifty -- and that's tough), but also
|
||
the spoken Japanese is extremely colloquial. In other words, they have
|
||
and use a lot of expressions. (They've had some three thousand years
|
||
to do it in... unlike English.)
|

I'm sticking with Spanish, German, and maybe (in the future) Arabic.

I don't think we would end up with something with significantly
|
||
better sound reproduction and higher resolution, actually. By today's
|
||
standards of digital recording they /aren't/ that bad, and the
|
||
difference between, say, the sampling rate of CDs, DAT and a NeXT
|
||
computer looks much better on paper than it does in practice, which was
|
||
my original quibble. I don't think CDs are the be-all and end-all of
|
||
sound reproduction, but I expect them to be around, in basically the
|
||
same form, for the same length of time that LPs were. The difference
|
||
between the sound recording on a 1989 LP and a 1959 one was significant,
|
||
but they were essentially the same format, and you could take a '59
|
||
LP and play it on an '89 turntable without a problem (or, in fact, a
|
||
'39 LP), and for the most part, you could take a '89 LP and play it on
|
||
a '59 turntable without many ill effects (you'd lose some of the
|
||
fidelity and the record would wear out faster due to a larger stylus);
|
||
the same will probably happen for CDs. In fact, it already has; there
|
||
are audiophile CDs, like Mobile Fidelity's, with higher repro quality
|
||
than the original specs for CDs maintained was possible, and there are
|
||
CDs out there running around with 80 minutes of music on a medium whose
|
||
original specs said 74 was the maximum. CDs have the advantages of
|
||
being flexible, "upgradeable" in the way LPs are, and, unlike their
|
||
nearest competitors, already in wide use. If you wanted better repro,
|
||
you could be using a reel-to-reel with metal tape, but don't look for
|
||
the new Billy Idol album on a 2400-ft reel at Camelot. (Not that I
|
||
have anything against reel-to-reels; if I had the money, I'd probably
|
||
get one to make the masters for silly mixed tapes I like doing.)

Not really. You cannot, say, offer greater frequency response from a
|
||
standard-format CD, because the bits just aren't there. Conceivably
|

you could develop a new format for storing data on a CD and then create
|

a player that could distinguish between it and the older format, but

such a disc would be unplayable on a conventional CD player.

Actually, heavy metal really started in the late '60s. There's
|
||
always several kinds of rock on the scene. And you'd better believe
|
||
they're going to get stranger and stranger.
|
||
My crystal ball is broken, though. My best guesses for the music of
|
||
2030:
|
||
By 2030, the basic structure of pop music will have moved on,
|
||
finally. (Basically, believe it or not, all rock music is based on
|
||
18th-century composers -- changing the instruments, of course.) It'll
|
||
have finally caught on to the ideas of Debussy and Ravels, and there
|
||
will be at least one group aflame with ideas from them.
|
||
Instruments: I'd say the electric guitar is here to stay. (Though
|
||
it will be even more warped -- and finally a decent electronic one
|
||
will be around and used.) Keyboards will become even more warped.
|
||
Perhaps they'll be adding quarter-tones -- or just intonation -- for
|
||
more neat dischords. I'll say this: ere will be at least one completely
|
||
new instrument by then that doesn't exist now -- and it'll be
|
||
popular.

socializing when my daughter started. The thing I have a hard time with

is when she does something at home (ie- makes "those" faces and sounds

when you ask her to do something she doesn't want to do..) and you
|
||
reply "Is this the way you act at school?", to which she replies "No!".
|
||
To which you reply "Why do you act like that here?", to which she
|
||
replies "If I acted like that at school I'd have to go to the principle
|

to get a paddling", to which you stare at her going "Huh?!?!?!?" because

you know damn well she KNOWS that you're getting ready to "paddle" her

I've heard this argument before as it relates to the elderly driving.
|
||
It's Manifest Bullshit (tm). You wouldn't give a license to a 14-year-
|
||
old, or a blind man, or anyone else, because that person is "used to
|
||
being independant." Allowing an elderly individual who is obviously
|
||
incapable of driving to drive on the grounds that he/she "needs his
|
||
independance" is a crock--and a dangerous one. In Cape Coral about
|
||
three years ago, a nice elderly gentleman ran over and killed three
|
||
small children and kept going--he believed he'd hit some trash cans.
|
||
He was blind. He had a license. He "needed to get around." What utter,
|
||
complete, unmitigated, ghastly bullshit. If you are capable of driving,
|
||
you should be allowed to drive. If you are not, you should not. No
|
||
mitigating circumstances. No exceptions.

Kinda interesting thing happened to me the other night: I was talking
|
||
to a friend of mine, and she said something along the lines of "God only
|
||
knows." I said "I don't believe in God," and she replied "Neither do I,
|
||
but I know there's a Goddess" with the sort of absolute conviction you
|
||
normally see reserved for statements like "I know you hate this cough
|
||
syrup, but..." As much as it's refreshing to see someone who knows,
|
||
absolutely and surely, that there's a diety that's non-Christian as
|
||
someone who's a Xhristian claims to "know" that /his/ god is real, it's
|
||
still kind of disturbing. The nature of religion is such that ain't
|
||
nobody can /know/ diddly-shit. Otherwise, there wouldn't be more
|
||
religions than Oral Roberts has ill-gotten goods.
|

Her arguments were more convincing than anyone else's I've heard so far,

Of course! I've forgotten about our resident playwright! I'm
|
||
not really sure what kind of music the band "JonBoy and the Biohazards"
|
||
might wind up doing (though the name has a vaguely heavy-metalish
|
||
sound, I've only been involved in jazz and medieval bands before.)
|
||
As it stands, all we have is a name -- and which instruments people
|
||
play. As far as I know, no one showed up for the first meeting (due to
|
||
the animation festival in Tampa...) We'll have a second meeting
|
||
sometime. If we play well enough from written music (and we decide on
|
||
a style -- like jazz, maybe? -- that requires it), I'd be more than
|
||
glad to ask your advice on songs.

I'd love to have heard them.
|
||
|
||
Ya know, the problem with proofs about God's existence is that
|
||
most of them can be twisted into the proof of gryphons' existence...
|
||
or into a proof of the supremacy of Bob. <Aack! Pphthp! Bob-ism: JUST
|
||
SAY NO!> I've been convinced -- even when I went to a Christian high
|
||
school and they were spewing these proofs left and right -- that the
|
||
existence of God could never be proven; otherwise She would not be
|
||
separate from the world; She would be a part of the creation.
|
||
(For those wondering why I sound like a feminist with referring to
|
||
God as a She: two reasons. Neither gender really applies to God. God
|
||
neither has a penis nor breasts. The Bible even mentions: "God made
|
||
them in His own image: male and female He created them." Because
|
||
God has neither gender -- and it seems horrible to me to call God an
|
||
"it" -- in this message, I refer to God as "She." Secondly, women
|
||
(especially mothers) are traditionally associated with love, while
|
||
males (especially fathers) are traditionally associated with justice.
|
||
I'm trying to use that assumption. Now, back to the religious debate.)
|
||
|
||
Anyway, you've never met a person who is as convinced of their
|
||
beliefs as most "born-again Christians" are? Tell me: have you ever
|
||
met a Muslim? Many of them are willing to die for their beliefs; and
|
||
it looks like many of them will get their chance. I would say that in
|
||
every religion, there exist fanatics who are convinced it is the "only
|
||
way." Then again, in every religion, there are reasonable people as
|
||
well who are fascinating to talk with. (I once had a fascinating
|
||
conversation with a Hare Krshna. She had a doctorate in Indian cultures,
|
||
had become fascinated by the worship of Krshna, and eventually joined
|
||
the movement here. She got ten dollars -- and I never give to cults.)

Going back to the knowledge of God, even though I firmly believe

Mostly due to love of the Bible -- though I get sick when I see people

I think the biohazard symbol is fine (it kinda fits in with the name),
|
||
but what's with the crossing swords?

Public transportation. Yes, it's not as convenient as being able to
|
||
drive anywhere you want, but people who honestly are unable to drive --
|
||
regardless of age -- shouldn't be allowed to "inconvenience" others by
|
||
behaving in a hazardous (and sometimes fatal) fashion in the name of
|
||
personal freedom. Somebody's going to get the short end of the stick
|
||
no matter which way you choose (their independence versus protecting
|
||
other drivers from the danger their independence may cause), but there
|
||
is at least a potential for them to find other ways around. There is
|
||
no potential left for someone killed in a traffic accident caused by
|
||
someone who has forgotten the rules of the road, has no defensive
|
||
driving skills and who expects everyone to bend over backwards to let
|
||
them continue being behind the wheel without so much as a refresher
|
||
course on the grounds that it's "age discrimination."

On the big french fry box, the contents are listed as Idaho russet

potatoes and nothing else. I have heard a lot of rumors about McD's

using inferior supplies, but from what I've actually seen, they use the

Eh eh eh. We are not talking about a feminized Christianity, we are

talking about a different RELIGION. You can't prove what sex the
|
||
Christian god is -- in fact, you can't prove he exists at all. The same
|
||
argument can be made for the Wiccan Goddess, or, for that matter, for
|
||
any other religion. There's nothing to say that the ancient Greeks
|
||
didn't have it right and the only reason we don't all worship a pantheon
|
||
led by Zeus is because Christ had better public relations people.

For the most part, McDonald's fries are very good. Occasionally, some
|
||
bonehead screws 'em up by sticking them in a fryer that isn't turned
|
||
on or some other such mind-bogglingly stupid thing, but that isn't the
|
||
fries' fault. When cooked /correctly/ they're about the best fast-food
|
||
non-curly fries in existance.
|
||

...McDonald's is changing their shortening formula at the end of the
|
||
year. I'm highly skeptical...

I don't see any need to do anything of the sort. I simply stated that
|
||
people who can't drive shouldn't be allowed to. It's that simple. You
|
||
can't drive safely, don't. No ifs, ands, or buts. Your "need for in-
|
||
dependence" has no bearing whatsoever on your ability as a driver; if
|
||
the ability isn't there, you don't drive. Hey, it isn't like everyone
|
||
who can't drive a car withers and dies because of it. On the other hand,
|
||
people /do/ die when incompetent assholes take to the road.

It isn't really fair to compare battered fries like Checker's to plain
|

fries like McDonald's. Fries in batter generally taste better than fries

without, but McDonald's fries are top-notch in the realm of plain fries.

TS> God is male. Goddess... what bullshit!
|
||
|
||
First and foremost, define "male." To me, male means the presence
|
||
of penis and scrotum. Though Jesus was undeniably male, it remains to
|
||
be seen whether God, as a whole, is male. (Because God has no physical
|
||
body, I doubt he has either physical attribute.)
|
||
|
||
I see no fault -- nor anything in the Bible -- that contradicts the
|
||
statement "God is sexless." Because of this, it is equally inaccurate
|
||
in our language to refer to God as He than to refer to God as She. I
|
||
will switch between the two whether I wish to refer to God, the father-
|
||
like Divine source of justice; or God, the mother-like Divine source
|
||
of love.
