  1. New person here. I play guitar! And love science. Played Pro when young, now just for fun.

     

     

     

    That is YOU? Seriously? That is awesome. I saw that years ago and was blown away. I wish I had thought of that.

     

     

    That's NOT me. I wish. Its just a video of the song im working on. Jerrys breakdown by jerry reed.

  2. I own a guitar and a bass and an acoustic. My guitar is a fender copy my bass is a peavey and my acoustic is a small sized nylon string amigo. I played mainly rock untill about 2 months ago when i discovered the hybrid technique. That's where you use the pick like normal but you use your 3 remaining fingers for fingerpicking. Please check this out. It's what im working on when i can put down my biology books.

     

    As far as giging. I just play at home now. I have very nice recording equiptment to work with.

  3. I have personally witnessed one of these http://en.wikipedia....angle_%28UFO%29 while stargazing in a field during my younger years, not under the influence of any drug or alcohol, so are aliens visiting or have they at least done so in the past?, i believe so.

     

    The one i saw was luminous blue, moved very slowly and rotated as it moved.

     

    I dont believe you need to be on drugs to have a hallucination.

  4. You certainly need a logical mind. A person with a logical mind could reasonably be expected to become proficient at other branches of mathematics (IMO). However, as an ex club chess player, other branches of mathematics don't seem to have much bearing on the game. A good memory is almost as important as a sense of logic. There are various ways of starting a game (known as openings) and you break away from a known opening at your peril. You will almost certainly have weakened yourself in a way that the player who has studied that opening already knows how to exploit. Similarly there are various known ways to wrap up a game (the end game) using, for instance, pieces in combination. The person who remembers these can play faster and set traps more easily. The middle game is where a sense of logic comes into its own but if you start the middle game weakened by a poor opening it will be an uphill struggle.

     

     

    exactly

  5. Just think of the technology needed. I don't think we will ever have the technology to be able to visit other planets revolving around even the closest stars. I think mankind will destroy itself before then. I believe this is probably the curse of intelligence; it will allow us to create technology we are not evolved enough to use responsibly. We have already done so, I believe, as I believe mankind is creating global warming. I believe this is the fate of all intelligent beings (not necessarily global warming, but self-destruction). I cannot support this possition, as it is untestable speculation, so don't ask me to.

     

    My question then is:

     

    So what makes anyone think aliens can visit us?

     

     

     

     

  6. Yes, Law Enforcement has tremendous power and the law should be quick to not only police themselves they should be held to a higher standard and get the maximum penalty when they abuse their power.

     

    I don't give a rats ass about professional athletes. Over paid little boys on steroids, the mistake is idolizing these assholes. Once you give them the power of being an idol then they have power over and above any reasonable means over anyone who idolizes them. We give them that power so it's as much our fault as theirs when they turn out to have clay feet.

     

    I apologize to the athletes who are good people, many of them are, but we give them too much power and glory and it goes to not only their heads but ours as well, in many cases and it makes them think they are above the rest of us in some way... The worst part is many people feel they are above us too...

     

     

    VERY well put.
