  1. How about "Semi-charmed Life"? That song is excellent.
  2. So it hasn't been a long time since you rocked and rolled? Have you, like I have, sold your soul for rock and roll? (Bring back the 'yarr' emoticon)
  3. Is it superfluous to recommend you pick up the Led Zeppelin album with 'Stairway to Heaven' on it?
  4. Anyone remember a show called 'Toxic Crusaders'? It was cool. (None of these are as good as the 'yarr' emoticon.)
  5. Yes you can. All you have to do is think. This means you are an irrationalist troll. By your own admission, you are an idiot.
  6. Objectivism is not dogmatic. A dogmatist is someone who accepts ideas on faith and Objectivism does not. (This isn't as cool as the 'yarr' emoticon but it's still good.)
  7. In what way am I sinful? Am I sinful by nature? Am I tainted by 'Original Sin'?
  8. Hegelian Dialectics is an excuse to talk contradictory rubbish and reverse the meaning of words.
  9. The book ,which I have not read, is written by an anti-capitalist, anti-globalist feminist who I have never known to be in favour of anything and who can reasonably be considered a nihilist. Do not waste your money.
  10. The Incredibles was outstanding and it was the hardest I've laughed in years. That's all I went to see it for. The philosophy behind ity wasn't especially deep but Syndrome was an excellent villain and a classic second-hander and power-luster. Nothing beats gratuitous use of this emoticon.
  11. As for Angelina Jolie, I really don't think that she's all there: ANGELINA JOLIE’S TERRORIST FRIENDS http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadA...le.asp?ID=16225
  12. At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I recommend J.R.R. Tolkien for poetry. There are a few in LOTR plus the book 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil' which is part of 'Tales from the Perilous Realm' is excellent. All very cheering and heart-warming! ( I love that emoticon).
  13. Can I just recommend that the Objectivists here read J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord Of The Rings' and you will all learn how to spot a troll? ( I love that emoticon).
  14. Never read 'Les Miserables' but I can recommend 'The Toilers Of the Sea'. 'Ninety-Three' by the same author started off well but the ending and ethics involved had me wishing I had a time machine so I could punch VH's head in. I read VH for the same reason as you, AR's recommendation. It just wasn't justified in the case of 'Ninety-Three'. Stick with J.R.R. Tolkien. Did AR ever mention Tolkien, does anyone know?
  15. Don't know about 'Eye for an Eye' but 'Double Crossing is excellent.
  16. For a treat, look up the official site of the Finnish Band Nightwish and check out the fantastic voice of Tarja Turunen. MP3 samples are available and the site is in 3 languages. Also check out Dragonforce for lyrics that make Spinal Tap sound like Pink Floyd and some of the most entertaining trad metal ever recorded. (I can't post without that great emoticon.)
  17. I wonder what kind of life the shrink, played by Max Von Sydow, lived in the U.S.S.R. Stephen Rea was excellent as a man who relied on his mind to solve the case. Did you notice, like Donald Sutherland did, that Joss Ackland was particularly enthusiastic about arresting gays and put two and two together?
  18. Just finished watching this movie starring Donald Sutherland and Max Von Sydow. It's the true story of a policeman's attempts to catch Russia's worst mass killer and his struggles against the communist hierarchy that want the killer caught but make it impossible for him to do his job. The story was dramaticized but it is very well played and portrays the inner contradictions of Soviet Socialism superbly.
  19. Name your terms. If you are opposed to evolution then tell us what you are in favour. And does God exist? If God exists, then what is God? Show why you believe God exists. (I love that emoticon)
  20. That's not what my workouts told me. i trained for strength and gained mass in time. You have provided no reason to give it a try. I read HD I and II and understood them. I tried them out, they worked and MM described what I should be aiming for, i.e. strength. His description of what should happen matched what did happen so I stuck with it. You recommend the scales and calipers. That would mean waiting for weeks or months to see results whereas, with HD, I can tell straight away. You use the term 'science' a lot but you beg the question. I found that my method worked and stuck to it. Your method just says 'scientifically proven' and asks me to train away with only the scales and calipers to guide me and I will have to take this method on faith. That is why you are a mystic of muscle. BTW, I have unsubscribed from this thread so I will not receive notification of your replies.
  21. Missed this earlier. My training log does indeed exists. It is a notepad containing my results for the last few months. Why on earth do I need to show it to you? Unless you live in Falkirk then I'm not showing to you so get it right round you!
  22. Missed this earlier. This is the logical fallacy known as begging the question or assuming that which you are trying to prove. Any training program can constitute gross overtraining for someone, great efficacy for another and gross undertraining for another still because of the great variations in individual recuperative powers. That is why I need an objective method to tell me straight away. MM recommended training for strength. I did just that and gained mass in time just like MM said I would. This was EVIDENCE and not FEELINGS. Just using the words 'scientifically' and 'proven' does not make it so.
  23. Who said anything about it being linear? It's still a lot quicker than your method of scales and calipers. Who said that any gains would be linear? Especially since MM said that he found that they quite often weren't and that's exactly what I found as well. Except that it isn't scientifically proven. I have no way of verifying your studies. I am, according to you, supposed to give up the system that I found to be effective myself, using my own judgement, and start using this allegedly proven method because you say so and because you use these studies as an authority. You truly are a mystic of muscle. This is my last word on the subject. Your attempts at proof have not worked. You have still not provided an accurate measurement of progress since I am not going to waste my time with the scales and calipers method. Anything further that you have to say will not be read.
  24. I notice that you couldn't refute my point that Heavy Duty will tell me strtaight away if I am going wrong while, with HST, I could be going wrong for weeks or months before I found out. I'll cut through all the pseudo-science in your post and take that as an admission of defeat. BTW I can ignore all your studies precisely because of this reason.
