not really...goths tend to dance rather slow. There had to be some adjusting here and there. I would usually be having too much fun to even notice..or too drunk. Ahhhh the good old days...

I fuckin' hate the goths with their dramaticly flailing slow ass dancing. Dancing = Stomping and punching invisibl ninjas

No offense to you or the Norwegian people...


but I can't take that shit seriously.  And I think it's he dialect of the language.
Hip-hop isn't much a scandanavian cup of tea.  :/

For that, some fish smelling gangster's gonna pop some caps in yer ass!

I was a vegetarian for about six years, but then I realized I was being a total retard for trying to live in an unnatural way. Oh my flying spaghetti monster, those ribs that represented the end of my self-imposed idiocy were DE-LICIOUS!

"Trying to live in an unnatural way"?  Anything you do is by definition natural.

Yup,  but I meant "unnatural" as in the common natural fallacy kind of way.

Unless being a vegetarian is supernatural? 

Haha, James Randi keep your $1.000.000 ready! No, but for an omnivore like a human being, going veggie is to toss part of your nature out the window. Because meat eating is part of your nature, vegetarianism leads to both discomfort and poor health. Hey, we actually have taste buds that taste the amino acids in meat!

Here's some great Norwegian hiphop for ya. Kevin from Warlocks and Mae, usually known as Opaque. Smalltime gangster anthem from Groruddalen, Oslo:

Here's some more Norwegian shit, Tungtvann with "Ubudne gjæsta". They broke through to the mainstream with this song in the late nineties or something. Great lyrics about crashing parties you're not invited to, drugging and fucking hoes, and giving Norwegian celeb chicks what they deserve:

These guys are communist, but they're good at what they do, and they're friends of mine. And they were the first band to rap in Norwegian on records.

Here's Don Martin, the solo shit of the DJ from the last group. He's the last remaining survivor of the britcore genre of hiphop:

I've always found the idea that electric cars need a infrastructure similar to petrol cars redundant.

It takes a fair while to charge an electric battery for a car, and where do cars spend a long time nearly every night? Peoples driveways and garages.

The vast majority of car travel is in day to day activities, people making multiple day journeys in cars makes up a tiny proportion of car travel, and as such it would not be economical to have a entire infrastructure just for these journeys.

An electric car charging network? It's called the national grid.

Well, there are a lot of cars who are rolling practically all the time. You have your pizza delivery cars, mail cars, taxis and a whole lot other cars whose mileage exceed your average Joe's car. You also have people with long commutes. I think there will be a market for battery changing stations, but maybe just in the population centers. I'll have to plead to authority, I think Agassi and his lot have done the math thorougly

The Polling Pit / Re: Fear of Death in Different Cultures

« on: May 07, 2009, 06:25:23 AM »

I see fear of death as one of the highest virtues, BTW.  Thus this poll.  Fear of death is the most rational emotion, especially if it drives an individual to do rational things to avoid / postpone death.  As a cultural attribute, it will tell how willing a culture would be to overcome tradition and other irrational attachments, and strive to fight for every second of human life through science.

There are some unfounded blanket statements in what you just wrote. Look at the US, where the percentage of very religious people are way higher than in Europe, the fear of death is very strong. But at the same time, religious people fear life. They fear their urges to live their life as is human, because they have this weird idea that they will be punished for it after death. They also fear science, especially science that leads to longer lives, because they think it is wrong to fiddle with what they think their god made.

The real virtue is love of life, love of life is what will help you on the way to live your life to the fullest. Fear of death makes you fear life.

I've heard the claim that Americans are more religious then Europeons. I doubt it. Sure a great majority will answer yes to believing in a god but I would estimate that only about 20% are actually religious. Maybe less.

One of the reasons Americans would say yes to god belief in a survey is because they think it is the right answer to something they have never really given much thought to. While a larger percentage of Europeans have obviously given the matter some thought and have arrived at atheism. Keep in mind one truth that a very large percentage of Americans are is stupid/ignorant. If it ain't pro sports, the newest electronic gizmo's or Dancing with the Stars it is just not on Joe or Jane America's radar. They are sheep and sheep don't worship.

All of which is IMO.

The stereotype of the stupid/ignorant American is just that; a stereotype. Your random Norwegian, Swede or Japanese is just as ignorant as a random American. People know and believe what they are taught. Over here it's marxist economic ideas, over there it's belief in god. If you approach one or the other with ideas that are contrary to what they are taught, neither the American nor the Norwegian will believe you for a second no matter how good your arguments are, not even if you can produce smoking gun type evidence. A good 80% of the population in Norway will answer to a survey that they are christians, which is what they are taught to believe. But if they're asked if they believe in a god, only about 30% will answer yes.

I think the question of belief in evolution is a great marker on how religious people really are, because it adds another layer of complexity to the matter other than just "Do you believ in god?". Americans don't believe in evolution, Americans believe that some kind of magic being miracled the universe and the world into existence. I think that if you're so religious that you actually believe in that story, then you're likely to believe a whole lot of the other stories in that book. And presto, you have a population that fears both life and death because of their religious beliefs.
