STUDIO UPDATE: "WE ARE DONE!"
Dave Mustaine has issued the following studio update at TheLIVELine.com:
"I'm at the studio right now, Vic's Garage, and we are done! We're just right now finishing the last couple of notes on the new record, and Andy's getting ready to pack his bags and head up to Los Angeles tomorrow to get ready to fly back home on Thursday. Man, this has been a long, grueling, enduring process but it's been so worth it, and I'm so excited. I'm more excited about this record then I've been in any record since back in the 1980's. I would say, probably since, well definitely since "Rust In Peace" there's nothing that's excited me this much - maybe "Countdown", but this is just absolutely insane."

I'm shit with torrents but can bring the filesize down to 800Mb or so and then we'll host it here on Evo for a few days for any regulars to grab.

I think it is a sad day in this country that someone can have an opinion that doesn't support gay marriage and take this kind of heat. It's not like she was bashing, she simply answered a question...honestly.
Well to play devil's advocate what if she was asked about interracial marriage and she simply stated she didn't believe white people should marry blacks? Would you be okay with the outrage that followed? If yes, how is that any different? BTW I am saying this as someone who wasn't offended by her comments.
If she stated that she "didn't believe white people should marry blacks" she would still be entitled to her opinion, however this would certainly cast her in a different light. The color of your skin has NOTHING to do with a natural act, therefore she would be basing her opinion on nothing more than race.
The fact is she was talking about being against legalizing gay marriage, not crusading to persecute the gay community.
If a person can't defend their religious beliefs when ASKED, what is the point of freedom of religion and free speach?
Also if the state legalizes gay marriage under the very religion that condemns homosexuality then don't we have a HUGE problem in the seperation of church and state?
As for the sexual orientation issue, I don't think it is as black and white as people believe it is. I don't think people can say ALL gays are born that way or that they ALL choose to be that way. I think there are different factors that go into it.
Absolutely, things are very rarely black and white. The more I have grown the more I have seen life is most often "grey". In the end sexuality is STILL a choice however. There are many children who grow up under parents who smoke for instance. Many of these children are "genetically predisposed" to smoke. Still yet many choose not to. It's a CHOICE.
I do think that there are some, probably even most, that are born gay.
Noone is born sexual, period.
Really this isn't the argument I am trying to get in however. I'm simply saying I do NOT support gay MARRIAGE. Simple as that. Outside of this I have no desire whatsoever to interfere with those who choose this lifestyle. It's not my choice. Just don't try to "validate" the choice by having the state force the church to bend their beliefs in order to do so. Simple as that.
I don't support bashing nor discrimination. I simply think a person's choice is nothing more than that...a choice. This does not give that group of people the right to make it "acceptable" to a religion that denounces the act, by having a law enforce it. I mean no harm nor disrespect to any person of gay orientation...I am just very fearful toward the idea of giving the state this much power. That is my reasoning. It's not to hurt anyone in the gay community it's to protect the seperation that still exists between church and state.

When people get on the whole "it's a choice" argument, that's what they sound like.
"What they sound like.' Ok, so by offering an opposing view to "God made them that way" I sound like a racist?? WTF?
But the human body was 'designed' for human sexuality and it's gratification.
Not at birth. That kind of blows the "born that way" idea, doesn't it?
No, it's totally fun being an addict.
Wow, this surprises me. It is NOT fun being an addict, it is a disease.
I'm not sitting back and asking you to accept it. I have no problem with freedom of religion or speech, until it interferes with the law. That's when I step in, and say wait a second.
What about when law interferes with religion? By giving gays the right to marry (under GOD) you have a huge problem. Just because someone chooses the gay lifestyle in no way gives them the right to force a religion to "bend the rules" to accomedate their personal choice.
#118 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Miss California controversy » 852 weeks ago
know. All those negroes also need to take accountability for being crack smokers too.
This is below you Axlin08. You are too intelligent for this sort of crap. Don't try to belittle someone for an opposing view, I can assure you my intellect is not inferior to yours.
How wonderful is it to be gay? Isn't it absolutely fun! You get to go around, have everyone look at you weird, talk shit behind your back, fire you, not give you jobs altogether, not let you marry the person you love, tell you you can't have kids, and if that's not enough... you get people to harrass you on the street, as well as your parent(s) disowning you!!!
YAY! What fun, and a personal choice for it. Sign me up, it sounds absolutely fanfuckintastic. :umm:
It's not fun being an addict either. That doesn't mean you were born an addict (at least in most cases) nor does that mean "God made you that way". Free choice comes with responsibilities and consequences...not always fun ones.
Actually there's far more evidence to support "born Gay" rather than not. If you haven't found it in all these years, you haven't been looking hard enough, or you've got your head in the sand. It's all there. Tons of empirical evidence, and scientific study, that leans to it being orientation, not a choice.
Actually there's not. Before I decided to first go into Physical Therapy (later decided to get a MS in biology as my plan is to be a professor at my local university) I actually was pursuing what many beginning college students do...Psychology. We could go into the "Nurture vs Nature" deal all night long but in the end this is simply an opinion, not a proven fact.
Let me end my argument on a lighter side.
As I said before one of my best friends in my entire life was gay. Yes he did have a shitty life due to his sexuality, very unfortunate as I did love him like any other of my close friends. In fact I would say he was one of the best people I've ever known. My problem is NOT with those who are gay. My problem is with those who choose to hear one voice but drown the other. I am against legalizing gay marriage but not FOR punishing those whose choices and opinions are different than mine. I think tolerance is the key but tolerance is not snynonymous with acceptance.
#119 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Miss California controversy » 852 weeks ago
"Born gay?" There exists absolutely no evidence to support such a claim. At birth a person is not sexual and I've yet to see any "gay genetic precursors" in any of my studies during the pursuit of my MS.
This is a term that was manufactured by those who support the gay lifestyle and wish to make a personal choice free of responsibilty and consequence. All choices in life have some sort of consequence, especially those that step outside of what is considered the norm. By "victimizing" a decision the person/group involved attempts to rid themselves of the burden of the given choice.
Before you start waving the "bigot banner" I will tell you in all honesty that one of my closest friends was gay. I say "was" because he died a few years back from carbon monoxide poisoning.
I know his choice came from sexual abuse at a young age. I can also tell you that a LARGE amount of those who choose to be gay have this in common. Not ALL by any means but a large number.
I am AGAINST any kind of descrimination, bottom line. However I am also against gay marriage. It seems very strange to me that a gay couple would want to take part in a union that involves a religion that condemns the very act. I'm not trying to bash anyone who is gay but I think this point is a strong one. Why not take the Civil Union route instead? The couple would still have the same rights.
I think it is a sad day in this country that someone can have an opinion that doesn't support gay marriage and take this kind of heat. It's not like she was bashing, she simply answered a question...honestly.

There are a few fan mixes I have heard that I like (Silk Worms alternate mix comes to mind) but for the most part I'm not much into the remixes.
