Holy crap, it could not have been more perfect.

[Darth Mandarb]

i thaught u cunadians weer suppossed too bee nice?

]).]v[.

[Andail]

Something really tells me this is a hoax...all this about "dumb americans" seems like something thrown out just to cause provocations...

If I'm wrong, listen here Punk:

Coincidently, you are member number 1337
1337 means leet
A leet person is someone who starts a topic with lots of caps, stars and then more caps and stars.

Now you do the rest of the maths, because I have to fetch my tea

[Ishmael]

Sorry for not being 1337 darth, but what are "cunadians"?

[Raggit]

Punk N,

Don't take offense at it!!!

It is just a joke, like Andail said, you happened to be member number 1337 so we're just being st00pid.  

[Darth Mandarb]

TK - duh??  Cunadians are those from Cunada haha!!  You know, the country do north of us "dumb" Americans!!

Sometimes my humor only makes sense to me

]).]v[.

[Paper Carnival]

(you must be dumb americans)

heh? that would be offencive to americans... we don't like that kind of attitude here. I am not offended, because I am Greek-Cypriot and not American, but I am sure that my best friend would be if he read this.

[Raggit]

Yeh,  I hears ya bubba darth man!

I guess we is gonna have to play cow boys and canadains.

[Ishmael]

Ah, sorry. I accidentaly mixed them with a tropical fruit which is written almost the same. You humor makes sense to me, at least for now...

[shbaz]

Hey feel like calling me a dumb American any time you like. I know a lot of dumb Americans so I can understand the generalization.

I've been responding to another post for awhile on an unrelated forum about how it's stupid to call ourselves Americans because we don't represent the whole continent. I don't agree, but I'm just a dumb American, so what do I know?

EDIT:
This has to be a joke, if you're fixing up your profile, why haven't you put a single thing in it. Kind of odd that you'd give up completely because you can't figure out your avatar has to be hosted on a webspace of some sort.

[PunK N PiE]

ya i have alot of american friends so im not trying to insult all americans,...
ive hitchhiked and train hopped all over north america and i have lots of american friends,...
i pitty the person who takes big offense to what im saying,,..
and the only reason i was typing with stars and capitals is so that some1 actually payed attention and responded to my post...and guess what?! it worked !!!

[Raggit]

Hehe, stars and caps work to get attention,  but naming it "Free Porn!!!" often works better...



(Don't really try that!)

[Scummbuddy]

yeah, fR33 pR0n works much more sufficently, especially on the games in production page.  

[remixor]

And especially if you're 1337!

[Pumaman]

i dont know what the fuck you ppl are talking about when you say 1337

Ok, calm down, if you can't say it without swearing, you probably shouldn't say it at all.

and the only reason i was typing with stars and capitals is so that someone actually payed attention and responded to my post

But what if everybody did that? There's nothing that makes your post more important than any other, so why try to make it so?

[TerranRich]

Ah, yes, he is now living up to his permanent label as Mr. 1337. He is now tarnished!

[Shattered Sponge]

i dont know what the fuck you ppl are talking about when you say 1337

But CJ!  If we didn't have things we were unable to articulate wihtout swearing, we'd have no excuse to swear at all!  That would be horrible!

Because you were user 1337... Alas, leet.

[Haddas]

I have nothing against americans. You know a lot of stuff... But it always seems that you know EVERYTHING about USA, and NOTHING about the rest of the world ?

[Matt Brown]

the reason for that is pretty simple my friend.
The American media has found it pretty profitible not to write about affiars outside of America. The BBC, for example, does a great job of reporting events outside its own country, and the English are much more about foriegn affairs then America. The only mainstream media outlets that report much outside of America are the New York Times and the odd AP story. The times is very expensive for people not living in NY, and AP storys only get published when they are huge enough of other papers to pick them up.

Thankfuly, the internet is helping to bridge this gap, and give Americans more foriegn news stories.

[Fuzzpilz]

and the only reason i was typing with stars and capitals is so that someone actually payed attention and responded to my post...and guess what?! it worked !!!

It didn't. People would have read it anyway. This isn't one of those huge forums with thousands of active members where there are hundreds of new topics each day and no one ever reads anything. Thus, trying to grab attention like this doesn't have any effect other than getting on people's nerves and quite possibly turning them away from reading your thread.

[Nacho]

Eeer... Why all that mess of the 1337 member? I´ve had understood that the figures of the membership change in the way that the onld members who hasn´t posted in 8 months disappear... So, nobody will really be the 1337 member many time, correct?

[m0ds]

Look, at the end of the day, all your base are belong to us.

[Meowster]

and the only reason i was typing with stars and capitals is so that someone actually payed attention and responded to my post...and guess what?! it worked !!!

Damn, so that's why nobody ever replies to my posts. Time to do some serious editing...

There have been some changes around here.

[Timosity]

I'm not sure how the numbering system works, but it is not necessarily in order anyway, If you look at the dates when people registered,

eg. member 5, "& Jongetje" registered 20 Sep 2003

and member 8, "Steven gaynor" registered 07 Sep 2003

and I looked around when I registered and it wasn't in any real date order. eg NTL aka Hosamov aka Kickme registered after me but is higher on the list. (but some were in order)

I thought that maybe when a member drops off the list, the next person to register takes their place on the list (kind of like the way a hard drive stores info), but if members dissappear after 8 months 10 months or whatever, my theory is flawed.

I think, it just puts people where it feels like, some in order and some not, just a bit of chaos. (or just CJ's hitlist order)

But either way, I'll sleep well tonight.

[Andail]

bwahahah

[Haddas]

Fruity Loops?

[remixor]

Fruity poops.

[TheYak]

I wouldn't mind one, how much are they?

I'd sell mine for $2.  

[Edit: Whoops.. the way the topic's titled I thought it was an avatar advertisement.]

[Haddas]

Puity Froops

[makri]

It's "Unitedstatesians"

[Nine Toes]

Being an American myself, it would probably be considered mutiny if I were to agree to this post, but I'm sorry... I agree.  We are very arrogant.

<American members of AGS contact George Bush and organize a lynch mob to hunt down Bodyart.>

<Bodyart: "Hey, look!  I'm on America's Most Wanted... Holy Crap! :o I've got more money on my head than Bin Laden!">

Another thing is, the term "American" is a very vague term...  If, for example, you say "American's are egotistical"... are you talking about Canadians?  Mexicans?  Brazilians?  I mean, there's South America and North America... I don't know about the rest of the "Americans", I'm just a citizen of the United States...  

Edit:  Damn, Makri beat me to my point...

[remixor]

I won't say my fellow citizens aren't arrogant, but it seems like people from non-US countries are pretty arrogant about not being arrogant.  Ha!  

*note: read this post with an air of arrogance

[Haddas]

* Feels sorry for all North-Americans, being so isolated on a deserted island  :


* Goes all arrogant... Hmph!

[Goldmund]

Yes, Americans like to think they are arrogant.

I also pretended a stick was a gun when I was little.

Those are all rock artists/bands (unless you count Roy Harper as more of a folk singer/songwriter, which would work).  I'm sure there are a ton more examples, but those are the ones that spring to mind for me, since I have them in my album collection.   Once you factor in jazz and particularly music from the so-called classical periods, longer tracks become much more common.
