962 - "Yeah George W and the Bush Administration (ie. his cronies) tried to get it shut down."
But it was only reported on one news program in another country, and it wasn't even important enough for them to mention it on their website? I find that very hard to believe.
"And it wasn't that which I was referring to with regard to sharing an opinion. ... the concept of me sgaring an opinion was, to some, unacceptable.
It seems that that is unacceptable to you too."
Those comments were in the same paragraph as the rest of your comments to me...how was I supposed to know that you were talking about a conversation that I'm not even a part of?
It's logical to assume that you were talking about the same statement. The comments didn't make sense to me because that original statement wasn't an opinion.
I have no problem with people here having opinions. If you think I do, it's probably because of the misunderstanding I just mentioned.
"rather than just trying to lay down this "I AM The Law" shit."
You posted something that I didn't think was true. I looked it up on the internet and found absolutely nothing to back it up. I asked you for an internet source and you didn't have one. Those things cause me to question the validity of your original statement. At this point in time, I think it is false. I will continue to think it's false until I see a news item that says otherwise.
If you think that means "I AM The Law", there's something wrong... Should everyone blindly believe the words of everyone else, and not point out things they think might be partially incorrect or completely false?
"do you know of any good bass-tab resources where I could get some could stuff to teach a beginner?"
Stu Clone has a good point...it really depends on the student.
Does he want to play fairly simple "classic rock" basslines (Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, etc.)? Two-handed tapping like Stu Hamm? Funk? Reggae?
Get a beginner's book for the style that he wants to learn. You shouldn't have too much trouble because you already know how to play guitar.
I think it's important to teach songs from the very beginning...it'll make him want to learn more and keep coming back for the lessons. He should leave the first lesson knowing some part of a song, even if it's just the bass line to Wild Thing or something simple like that...
jazzzzzzzy - "you seem to be very easily offended everytime someone on this website seems to be a liberal."
That's not true. I agreed with some of the things 962 said. I had an issue with one of his statements.
"I know you are the guy who has been here the longest"
There are a few people here (michelle, for one) who have been here twice as long as I have.
"please cut off the "I am the law" attitude here"
Please read the last bit of my response to 962. If you think questioning false statements is the same as an "I am the law" attitude, there's something wrong.
cuthbert1776 - "I would think they would broadcast the future team's games out in the LA market ;-)"
LOL... We still get every Rams game on television here in LA. ;-)
I didn't know that the team might move out to LA. I mean, I know we've been looking for a team here, but I never would've thought of the Colts.
Don't they have high attendance figures? I never would've expected them to want to move.
ovation1 - Hi... It's always nice to hear from you...
SupaaDave - "The best trick he did was walking into Compton with a camera crew and not getting robbed."
LOL!
Well...I gotta go to class. I'll be back later.
Go Cardinals!
EDIT - I fixed a quote tag...
