Never really got into Elbow too much... so someone can make a mix of that Also if someone could make a Beirut mix that'd be great since I'm seeing them in like 2 weeks

^I agree... I also feel a lot of it has to do with intellect and the desire to learn. Like I don't want to stereotype, but I feel so much of the middle of the country is just so stubborn, uninformed, and ignorant that it kind of set backs the country. Like I hate to say it or sound elitist but I feel that the coastal states seem to be a lot more advanced in our way of thinking and I feel that it's more of the direction I wish the rest of the country would think... like more liberal ways of thinking socially, but hands off of government.

that's not such a bad thing ya know...haha the only thing that sucks about hosting a mixtape exchange is that I know who is making my tape already, which takes out some of the fun of wondering who your mixtape maker is. But I'm still really excited to see what songs I get :D

^I agree with the military aspect. I mean just look at this graph is that much spending really necessary? Also I feel it gives a bad impression of our country as well as our gun laws to basically show us as being a ruthless bloodthirsty nation. I will at least say that regardless of all these discussion of how the police takes over and what not I feel very happy to live here. Because I feel many other countries and people around the world don't get as many opportunities or freedoms as we do (especially poorer nations and dictatorial nations in the middle east)

^I've been really considering about bribing your mixtape maker to make a Radiohead only mix :lol:

^creeper :P

I agree with you a lot in terms of the fact that it is extremely wrong for those police officers as well as the government over the years to jail, beat, and kill innocent civilians for no reason other than to have a hold over people. However I feel that although the state can do evil things, that the idea of a stateless society at least in this part is ridiculous to happen. I mean I think at least the people in this thread from their opinions would be caring and look out for their fellow man, but I think without laws that a large amount of of people would make the world more of an anarchy, so I think that a state is needed for less civilized and educated people. I really agree with what you have brought up. Ideally a world without any government would be great where people treated each other with respect and knew right from wrong. But I do agree that there needs to be at least some form of a state, though I feel that the role of government should be very limited to let the people for the most part control their destinies.

very well put... I agree

hmm... I wonder who got me :thinking: :lol: also not to rush people or whatever, because there isn't really a rush but I'm going to be sending out mixtapes as soon as I get them in, so be sure not to tell people you just handed yours in. I think it might build the excitement to not know when you might get one!

sorry guys... just a lot of other people wanted to do it... so I decided to make one. but we can do another one soon again. also... all mixtape partners are sent out... so if you didn't get a pm from me let me know!

really? is it all the time? I hope that's not going to happen to me.

*rings bell* TIME IS UP TO SIGN UP FOR THE MIXTAPE! ...i'll be sending out pm's shortly

I might if it doesn't go away in a day or two

10 minutes left to sign up... then i'm finalizing the list and sending people pms of their partner

:awesome: :| I've had it for 3 days now :(

my left eye

^hmm interesting. I still have this twitchy eye thing, though not as often that keeps annoying me

I miss this show so much.

yeah that won't happen. It's funny because people are always for change, but when it's a big change they don't want it. We're creatures that get used to the same things over and over. But I hope at least from what you're describing it won't lead to riots like that. It almost sounds a lot like what German went through before WWII. At the same time do you then think that it was wrong to try and help out to bail out the banks? When in fact there's a good chance it may have made things worse by bank by bank failing.

I mean falling prices isn't such a bad thing, but it seems that people want to be able to resell their homes and make a profit. The thing that I personally don't understand with people buying homes is why would you get a loan for a house when you cannot afford it? Same goes with a credit card. I mean I can understand why people do it because they want want want, but personally I hate to buy anything that I know I cannot afford. So then you mentioned that printing more money only keeps the inevitable of a recession. So with things so bad such an unemployment and rising prices of things, how exactly do you see things getting better? Or what do you think the solution might be (since it seems you know alot about economics)

the deadline is in like 4 hours in 45 mins

yeah... stop being such a girly man... :lol: If you're worried about making a sucky mixtape, then make sure you don't do it and pick your favorite songs or something

yeah... I've also noticed that people around me have been getting a lot more parking an moving violation tickets. Good quote on that topic, which is true. but at the same time there's also a waste of jailing people such as with the so called drug war. I mean it seems like just a waste of time and money to worry about that when it can go to better things. I guess in some sense when they have the saying To Serve & Protect... they're really talking about the state. The only question I also have is if there are already so many rules and laws in place, to me it seems almost impossible to get rid of them. I mean people in power love power, so why would they lessen the amount they get?

Here's my song:

go for it dude!
