And Rolling Stone isnt trying to make a buck solely off the back of an underground community that for all intents and purposes does not like the status quo, does not care about making money, and follows a strong set of ideals that they hold true to their heart. So when a company or magazine comes out and claims to be the same as us, and then just exploits us for their profit I think we can talk some shit about them. Ive got no issue with Rolling Stone because they arent a wolf in sheeps clothing, they dont hide it at all while AP does.

I know how a magazine works, but Scott acts (and says) it is the greatest place in the world and that they can never do any wrong and if you ever bash them he gets bent out of shape. Case in point, a previous Alt Press thread where we all shit on them and he flipped out on us.

I know that Scott is just a editor and doesnt actually have any major control but obviously someone there cared about Slipknot considering they were plastered all over that mag for years and years. The music didnt get shitty all of a sudden, the songs are exactly the same, so either the mag never liked them and covered them to make money and jumped off the trend and went on to the next big thing (which is obviously the case) or.... well there is no or, thats the only case.

so you just cater to what you think will sell opposed to writing about actual music that moves you. Good to know.

Why was there no big article about the dude from Slipknot dying? You would think for the amount of press you gave them you would write a huge article on how losing such a key member to the band was instrumental in their demise.

quoting this because it is fucking awesome and true.

Being wet does not mean you want sex. She can be turned on and still be raped. Perhaps they were watching porn, perhaps she only wanted to do oral, none of that is an invitation to stick your dick in her vagina. She can beg to suck you off for hours, but if she doesnt want you inside her and tells you that, it is rape. Rape kits can show rape was done, but if you shower (which many women do to try and cleanse the memory) change/throw away clothes (which again is done often to forget about the event) a lot of the evidence is gone. Also, the whole lubrication, condom, spermicide etc thing can make it a mess to figure out. As far as the numbers go, it comes from direct work within the domestic violence work field. Here is a study that RAINN did that is very similar. http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/reporting-rates Needless to say, the justice system IS completely broken when it comes to rape.

Will Casey and I have to reunite to shit on AP again and again? I kinda miss my friendship with Casey and our mutual bonding over how shitty the company you work for is. Serious question though, Why dont you guys pimp Fred Durst anymore?

Amazing song, but this song actually picks me up and makes me laugh and realize how good I got things.

In what way does him going to jail get him to change his behavior? They dont have rape classes in jail, they dont automatically get put into some rape anonymous class, and still most of all, the odds of him being convicted are less than 1% and SHE will have the most damage done to her reputation. She will get more out of a public apology and a letter of admission than she would get from him in a court where he can be found guilty (which wont happen) and still never admit to doing it and saying sorry. She is less likely to have made this up than you are to make up the fact that you were carjacked last week.

Thats cause the Angels make all their big splashy moves off the bat thinking they are good, and then realize that they are still missing key pieces. The Yanks will be interesting this year, a lot of key players coming back from big injuries. These arent the nagging injuries that effect most teams but its all star players coming back from career altering injuries. From watching the Phils deal with this last year with Howard, Utley, Halliday, trust me, it could be a long painful season.

Also, food for thought. The number of false rape allegations is well below the national average of false allegations for every other crime. It is actually the lowest percentage of false reports of any crime in America.

Has any of his albums sold out before release? I dont even think any of the limited versions that were pressed to 300 even sold out before the actual street date. I dont get the idea of a pre-order unless you know it is going to sell incredibly quick. Ill just wait to pick this up in a store when it comes.

Have you ever been through the criminal system for being raped? In my state, less than 2% of charges of rape brought to the police end in the case being brought to court. Well less than half of those end in the perp being convicted. Not to mention that the victim gets dragged through the mud, everyone questions every decision in her life she ever made, and god forbid she has ever had sex before, because that alone will make her a slut in the public eye. She will have to relive it numerous times in court, to lawyers, have it picked apart by the defense attorney. She will have to spend close to two years in the legal system with absolutely no help at all on how to fill out the paperwork correctly, unless she hires a lawyer. If she is selling zines at shows, something tells me she probably isnt rolling in the money to afford a lawyer that can help her on this. So she stopped and wanted her coat back. People make odd decisions when going through a traumatic event. Perhaps she wanted to make things seem as normal as possible to try and survive the event and not end up with her head kicked in. Dont even pretend to know what it is like to be a rape survivor unless you are one, and even then you cant fault any of their decision making.

Just because she slept in the bed doesnt mean shit. That isnt an invitation to rape anyone. It means "Im tired and want to go to sleep comfortably as possible." I have slept in the same bed with many female and male friends. Some I had feelings for, some I didnt. None of those situations ended in rape or sex. I dont care if she was naked fingering herself in the bed, that doesnt give this guy any right to have sex with her if she said no/is asleep/has stated before that she didnt want to.

Il show you the money when you show me your genitals!

Really? I missed that, you remember where it was? I also am of the school of likes are to be earned, not given. I have never maxed out my likes for a day and probably never will.

Thanks for counting me Ry, I only mentioned it earlier this month and said I would do it and take part but yeah, just skip over me while I scream TAKE MY MONEY

It wont for the normal person, it is a huge upper, but when you have ADHD or ADD or whatever bullshit diagnosis you have for extra energy it makes the mind work a bit slower by having all parts fire correctly. Basically, instead of just getting the rush in one spot of the brain, it makes all parts have the equal chemicals and synapses firing and such that they are all on par with the average person.

I wanna fight everyone that makes a thread of "Im back". No one gives a shit you are back from your two week hiatus, just fucking post in a thread like everyone else. Are you that much of an attention whore that you need to announce when you come and go and have people acknowledge it? For fucks sake!

I am against adderall being used as a drug. Even though my favorite player (victorino) uses it as he has ADD (and has claimed to since he came into the league and well, look at him, he is a sure fire example of someone that has it) I think they should find another drug that can have the same effect. They are getting an extra boost from the drug and while it may not be huge, it can make the difference in a double header of a day game after a late night game that went extra innings. Now that player has an extra pick me up while the non ADD player with aging knees and a bad back is dragging out of bed. Yes I know that greenies and everything else has always been used to give players an edge but that doesnt mean I have to like it.

The stadium looks nice, just not really made for a baseball team. The huge sides that can open and have the air rush in knocking balls down is made for football not a baseball team. The view is nice I am sure, but not when it kills your team cause they cant hit it out of the infield. Though I will say i enjoy the aquarium too.

Glad I could help:)

Wow, Kriss NEVER gets into shit on here with anyone, usually says his piece and thats it. Cant imagine something getting under his skin. I want Dave as my manager and Ill fight Sean, in a TLC match. You are going down Sean, Im gunna bust your face like that pool busted your face last summer!

There is beef between Kriss and Scott? I also like how the hardcore title is for Madie and Dash. And to answer the issue between them, Dash secretly wants to bone Madie till she squirts, but doesnt know how to say it to her so he flirts with her like a first grader does, by constantly insulting her.
