The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Quite amusing to see what people do spend their money for...lol
I remember a few months ago I got a mail from a friend with a link to VOD when I saw something really aggressive "You OWE me!"...
You couldn't get 110 $ within a year, if you put aside each month 20 $ especially when you know that you have to pay that bill at a special time.
And furthermore all albums that are on your site can be found on any blog, as soon as any special alvum was up on the www you've added it to your site. So why should anyone pay you any money? Because you've posted his rip on your site??
And those who paid can't be helped....sorry guys. I'd rather buy any homeless a bottle of booze than to donate for any internet site that feeds itself with stolen MP3's.

If 'words are words' only and they don't mean much to you, do you suggest any better way of communicating and expressing our thoughts?

Hahahah, it looks like you are the one that has problems with the way people express themselves, not me. Maybe we should all shape our words to forms that would be more palatable for your sensitive eyes/ears?

Yeah, maybe you should do that, you know the world aint exactly cram-full of supah tough guys like you.

I don't care which way you'll choose to express yourself better. If you want to sing, roar or play the pantomime, it's fine by me...however by registering in a forum you know you'll have to use words, that's the way people communicate in such places. You can't write 'FUCK OFF AND ROT IN HELL' to imply that 'You are a cool guy', that's pretty clear I think, regardless of whether english is your native language or not..

Anyway, whether that's your sense of humour or it's something you believe in, to me it just shows who you are, don't have anything else to say.

Darksider, I'm pretty sure the majority of people, me included, donated because in the early 90s VOD was the one place where people with slow modem connections could log in and listen to some arcane gems. This nostalgic fondness was enough for me to spent several bucks. Because it helped me to discover some cool bands, and if it happens to someone after me, it is a worth enough cause to keep alive.

Now you're being overly dramatic ("to deem another human life inferior based on what you JUST now admitted", "Turn your back on a life because of a statement made about others" etc - I actually think that you might be even more sensitive than I am when I read those lines). I also don't undestand a thing about what you're saying in your post and in all honesty it sounds like total bullcrap to me. But it seems that you have drawn more conclusions about me than I and all the people I know on this planet did in the last 30 years of my life - and then you're talking about my complete conclusions on you.
Again, I will say that I find your sense of humour most of all disturbing and I don't give two shits if its considered original, uncompromised, extra cool or whatever. That's what I think of it and I chose not to remain silent when I first read it while I still have my doubts if you did not mean what you wrote. If that sounds hypocritical and biased to you then so be it.

Edit: The forum is fucked up. That was actually a reply to the post below.

Isn't it unfortunate that the world is instead crammed of "Supah" condescending, easily offended "Holier than thou" hypocrites such as yourself? I think so.

For someone who acts SO compassionate and understanding, it's strange to see the same person draw a complete conclusion of who I am; to deem another human life inferior based on what you JUST now admitted and now understand was my sense of humor (regardless if you find it tasteless or not), shows me that you're no better than the person you have just condemned.
At least I was joking when I was making my narrow statements, you seem to be authentically narrow minded. Well folks… There's human compassion in action, in all it's limitations and contradicting fashion. Turn your back on a life because of a statement made about others; others you were helping by doing just as much as before we started this conversation, and that's two things: Jack and shit. I don't see why you just didn't say the same joke I did from the start, it could have saved you the time and effort you've made of looking like an prick.
Your offense seems to be induced by what you're expected to think and feel, which leads me to believe, that even if you did have something to say, it would most likely be unoriginal, biased, and void of uncompromised emotion - so by that… You probably have plenty to say, but I imagine nothing of worth or merit.

I wasn't being sensitive. Simple lack of verbal comprehension on your part. The point i was making (as is stated in the first line of the second paragraph - let me paraphrase so it's clearer) "If you're so compassionate" which sets up the rest of what I said. Just showing the double standards of someone who I am assuming is a self-proclaimed "humanitarian". Now with that in mind, reread what I said with this new insight, hahaha.

More verbal comprehension problems: What I said was not conclusive, simply speculations, besides it's 100% irrelevant on my part since I'm not the one supporting the facade of being a "good guy" and admitted to this. All about double standards, nothing else. Double standards and double dragons.

And to clear up more comprehension problems, I never said what I wrote was original, or extra cool (<I like how I never mentioned trying to be "cool" or "tough" anywhere, but it keeps getting thrown in… Someone projecting their inferiority complexes?), I'm starting to think you just believe I'm cool! If you are seeking to falate my flaccid ego, you are doing a great job.

All in all, doesn't really matter what you or I say. I am in the vein of the narrow negative Atheist professing why everything sucks and why he hates existence, and you are in the vein of the happy narrow Christian, thinking humans should only spew out sunshine out of their dick-holes until their prostates explode. It's a dead end.

To conclude my point, I feel it's the suppression of words that gives them any value of shock or make them "disturbing" as you put. If you were exposed to the same joke on a daily basis, I have a feeling it would cease to disturb you.

Guys, this to and fro was pretty entertaining to begin with but it's just getting closer and closer to abuse and one-upmanship now.
I just don't think you're destined to find common ground on this subject.
Maybe you should just agree to disagree or carry on the back and forth via pm?

If I start quoting each line here, this will probably go on for hundreds of pages. Some of them are funny enough already (''self proclaimed humanitarian'', ''happy narrow Christian'' and so on) and I don't feel they demand any kind of response anway. So, to cut it short, it seems that you are the one who's having the inferiority complexes. In 2 posts you came up with like 150 adjectives and other theories for me because I found your sense of humour (?) disturbing. Let me remind you also that it's not the first time you consider someone as 'holier than thou' because he doesn't share your opinion (the world must be full of those right?), it has happened before, one time it was with me again, but you kinda took it back stating that you had 'misunderstood' me - that's really how far your contribution goes in this forum. I won't start practicing your silly verbal exercises at this age either, I'm old enough for this kind of bullshit. Done with this thread.

I'm a positive atheist suffering from depression. Any useful advice M'ungol?

Eat a freshly-slain infant. With Thousand Island dressing.

Haha, now THAT was funny

Thousand Island dressing is for wimps, poofs and falses. Only Paul Newman's balsamic dressing is true

Thanks for the tips guys, I shall try them both.

So VoD needs help killing babies in Africa? Heartless bastard.

Sorry, no.
Only the mighty Reggae Reggae Sauce compliments freshly slain infant to it's troo kvlt flavour pinnacle.
Balsamic Paul Newman dressing best goes with a newly disinterred Paul Newman, surely everyone knows this?
GJ, all of we positive atheists suffer from depresion at times, it will pass.
Until then, enjoy your "comfort food".
