Hell yeah, Manowar sounds really awesome, perfect for my playlist along with Rhapsody! OICW said: Which is kinda short list of bands: Tarja Turunen's era of Nightwish, Rhapsody and Guardian
Maybe Powerglove OICW?  EDIT: It's not really fantasy, but I find it interesting.

Nope, Manowar was just fine. The rest isn't really that great. I'm quite picky, especially in the field of metal since I don't normally listen to it. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

Pretty awesome that he misquoted then, isn't it? But then you knew that because it came up in the other thread and now you're just trolling. /glares at the moose for starting this crap again -- |

At the end of the day, do and think what gives you the best outcome for your life. If believing in a God motivates you to become successful, then that's all that matters. However, believing in a bleak, pessimistic worldview, only serves to demotivate you. So it doesn't matter if it's the truth or not, because if you don't view it in a positive light, it's going to sabotage your life. It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm 100% about what gets the results. Everything else is bullshit. Meanwhile, anyone remember about the GSXR Kart I proposed years ago? The 140 hp, three-wheeled roadster I was going to build? I have two days in Cookeville left, and then I go home to make history. -----sig: |

The saying, "God helps those who help themselves," came to us by way of Benjamin Franklin (1736). Franklin himself was a deist and so he believed that God did not play an active role in men's lives. In his point of view if man was not able to help himself, then man was hopeless. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Neil Black said: So you don't believe in God? I'm not exactly sure what your beliefs are. My beliefs aren't qualifiable with labels, generalizations, or a few concise sentences. I believe in the work that God has done in my life, and strife he has brought me through. I also realize all of the hardship he has brought my way has uniquely molded me into something powerful. I am going places in life, and I'm not going to stop for anyone. I adapt (my actions and my ideologies) to become whatever is necessary of me to accomplish my goals. Everything else is bullshit--a waste of time and energy. Here's a summery of the only things that I've found valid in life: Enjoy every second and every person in your life--you don't get a refund at the end for getting it wrong. Challenge yourself and take risks. Work hard, and with excellence at everything. Forgiveness really is the best policy, it keeps your baggage light, and allows friendships to flourish. Be genuinely interested in everyone around you. That's about it. [added two. 5 bonus "Who's Line?" points for the viewers at home who spot them!] Oooh, one more great one: "Believe in people. They'll always surprise you." --Randy Pausch -----sig: |

I'm not pointing a finger, just making an observation. I've had the same experience - but so has everyone else... It just does not add up

I've had the opposite experience most of the time. Rarely have I had any slackers on my teams and if I had they often paid the price for it.

Arthur Kalliokoski said: The ones who slacked off aren't likely to go shouting it around. How do you know this? People aren't rational. If someone feels stupid because of mistakes they make, they quite often (sub-consciously or not) build up versions where they are the victim (at least this is my experience). Arvidsson said: I've had the opposite experience most of the time. Rarely have I had any slackers on my teams and if I had they often paid the price for it. I've had mostly good experiences with group projects as well, but in the cases where it did not work, everyone had the same idea that the rest of the group was slacking off.

I found that the most effective method for group projects was to give everybody in the group the option to do nothing at all. I never cared if somebody did no work as long as he told me on day one that he wasn't going to do anything. I could get stuff done faster by myself anyway. |
