Teeny weenie string bikini! Or not. :D

I'm not sure. I live in South Carolina, which is really conservative part of the country, and I love it here. But I've often considered moving to another part of the world because I don't like the direction American politics and economics is going. I think the gay community sabotages itself by being too promiscuous and silly, and the religious community is incapable of seeing things from other peoples' perspectives. So there's plenty of blame to go around as far as I'm concerned. Then there are so many myths about being gay that simply aren't true. "When did you decide you were gay?" warrants the response: "When did you decide you were straight?"

omg they talked about the SONGS instead of Chris Martin's personal life! Still the obligatory Radiohead reference (which doesn't make any sense because Lost! sounds nothing like a Radiohead song) but at least we're making some progress!

Well my mom is very religious and I know she would like for me to meet a cute girl and have a family and all that. I don't really have too much of a close relationship with my dad or his side of the family, so I don't really care much about that aspect of it. The hardest part of it would be trying to get people to believe that it's not a choice. Honestly I would much rather be straight than gay. But until science discovers a cure it's much less stressful to quit trying so hard to fit in.

omg aleja... lol You're hot. Maybe that wasn't so off-topic after all! lol

Hi Ireentje, pleased to meet you. I'm bi (leaning gay), and I think there's at least one other active member here who's also gay. I haven't come out to anyone yet, but I'm sure it wouldn't be a huge deal to my friends if I would (family is another story). I look/sound/act pretty straight so it's probably going to be sort of shocking for them.

lol that's fun. I bet you were planning on painting that whole wall white anyway.

Mel's got two Jamies and a Jay. There's got to be a joke in there somewhere!

Now we're getting handjobs?! The perv unit is getting better by the day! :D

Dude lay off the anabolic steroids.

Chris is a millionaire? Check. Chris is married to Gwyneth Paltrow? Check. Something about Radiohead? Check. All these reviews are the same formula. And ironically enough, they criticize Coldplay for being formulaic!

You have sex with gurls? That's sick! Plus you're only 16 and you've got a bikini girl avatar... something's amiss. Methinks he doth protest too much!

Sounds like Radiohead? I'll grant them that the middle of 42 sounds slightly reminiscent of Radiohead, but seriously... I wouldn't be listening to Coldplay if they sounded like Radiohead, because Radiohead is ass.

If you're Heidi Klum, topless, or Rachael Ray - you're in.

This is ridiculous. You could have Bozo the Clown up there on stage and Chris would still manage to steal the spotlight. Guy and Will are just slightly more introverted, that's all. Introverts are more interesting people than extroverts, imo, but that might be because I'm one of them. ;)

I think we need "Coldplay Pride" parades that are less tacky, sexually overt, and disgusting than gay pride parades. Society should be aware that we are loud, proud, and... "aloud"!!!

Sorry people, I'm just such an Eno-freak... I've seen his interviews posted on Youtube, so I know his voice pretty well. You can all bow down to me now! ;)

Please don't assume things about me - I'm a deist, not a classical Christian, although I think the New Testament gives some particularly insightful ideas about what the natural God is actually like. The dilemma proves that neo-darwinists are making massive assumptions about the mutation/uptake rate among populations of higher vertibrates. This is a scientific question, not a religious one. I'm not trying to prove God, I'm just pointing out that there are many questions that haven't been answered. Intelligent design isn't Creationism, and it isn't fringe science.

Anytime someone blabs about evolution being most plausible, just say "Haldane's Dilemma" and the debate is over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane%27s_dilemma

Best: Chinese Sleep Chant/Lost!/Life in Technicolor Worst: Violet Hill/42 I guess.

Sticker14, Alot of depression results from feeling like you don't have control over your environment. So you fail to get the girl you'd like to date, you fail to make the grades you need, and you fail in your relationship with your parents, etc. What you need to do is write down on a paper what you want in life, in detail. Then come to realize that you're capable of making it all happen exactly as you want it to, and not dependent on other peoples' approval for your happiness. You need an "internal locus of control". Once you've got that, your happiness is just a choice and you can ask yourself "Am I going to be happy today? Of course."

Brian Eno. I recognize the voice.

chuck, fantastic post. "But to honor truth, above all else, is closest to Godliness." This is absolutely correct, and it is the pillar of science. Look past the hype, question everything, seek the truth - not what you hope or WISH to be true. Have you heard of Haldane's Dilemma? It's a mathematical critique of the theory of evolution, and it tears down the Darwinist arguments far better than Intelligent Design does. I also wonder about randomness... it seems true randomness could be found at the quantum level. Perhaps DNA is somehow influenced by quantum mechanics in an undiscovered way...

Not to get into a huge debate, but let me correct a few things: ~ Intelligent Design is only a theory. Not to burst the Darwinists' bubble, but you're not the only folks who are allowed to hide behind the "it's only a theory" shield. As such, Intelligent Design doesn't claim to have all the answers - unlike Creationism, which it is often conveniently confused with. ~ Intelligent Design doesn't speculate as to the nature of the designer/s. It's simply pointing out that some DNA transcription errors aren't really errors after all, but are intentional. Is the designer conscious? Not sure. Are there more than one designer? Not sure. How do we differentiate between simple natural selection and complex intelligent intervention? Not sure. ~ There are certain aspects of the evolutionary record that are best explained by Intelligent Design, yet the scientific community aren't willing to admit it. Punctuated equilibrium is one. It's my belief that there is a healthy mix of intelligence and randomness involved in the evolution of life on Earth. I'm not sure that God really cares what we look like or how our vestigial organs once functioned as much as how we use our time here... whether that is in service to God, or to ourselves depends on your belief system.
