Just to clarify, it was supposed to say 'country or rap'. I was just saying in general. When I went to post it, Country did show up. I'm mostly a Thrash and Black Metal fan tho, which is why it is hard for me to admit I like this song.

@gigihein There are lots of worse things to worry about than his ability (0r his inability) to drink water! I don't care that he ordered a well done steak, and ordered it with keatcup.

@Rossy92 to each their own. Night's Blood is IMHO the best song ever written. Where Dead Angles Lie is great. No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep is great as well. But I'm not forcing you to pick which is the best. I think the somberlain was better than their final. That's just me tho.

When it stops by your bathroom, and it's in the middle of the night, you trip over it whilst half asleep! I've found Roomba under small tables, under chairs, in rooms that the doors should have been shut, and even in the basement! When you put it back on the charger, you need to reset the timer and at what time you want it to go. If you are tired, and don't feel like messing with it, you'll be awaken in the middle of slumber to hear something that sounds like a cow bellering. That is beyond annoying!

TheGreatShadow replies on May 30, 2018:

@Blindbird It helps in a placebo type way. It gives a lot of people a sense of purpose. That there is an all-knowing inviable man living in the sky that loves you, and you can always talk to him. It also helps people with death. I know he/she is up there now, smiling down on us... or even cope with the realization of their own mortality. The thought of just rotting in the ground for all eternity doesn't sound nearly as appealing as an afterlife. But to farther the negative side, it devolves us as humans. When I was in High School, they had to put a disclaimer saying that evolution is only a theory. So is gravity, and how we revolve around the sun. We have mounds of evidence to support evolution. Maybe the theory of gravity won't apply to them, and they will float away...

Church Burnings: Moral or Immoral?

@Stacey48 Yeah, I now live in a village of about 600 people. After 10 PM everything is closed. The bar might be open... When I lived there I had dozens of friends that would come over reguarly. Now, just 2-3 that come over occasionally that I went to HS with. :(
