Shit, that's more than they're charging here even (NZ$42) :/ Haven't decided whether or not to go see 'em yet myself as I'm pretty low on funds...
Personally I find Crass' music just as brilliant as their lyrics. It doesn't click with a lot of people but whatever, I fuckin' love it.
I just picked up this guy's book Distress as it was mentioned on another forum as a good hard sci-fi book with an anarchist setting. Will let...
Not really familiar with this branch of thought but if they're influenced by Max Stirner then I doubt I'd agree with them on much.
Choice as. I never got much into hip hop/rap beyond a few of the popular NZ artists when I was younger but I'm willing to give it a go if the...
I wouldn't usually link to something the Hoover Institution's put out but: http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/2912626.html Yep, he's a...
True. Maybe I'll bring it up, we've already got through a couple of quests though and I wouldn't be too keen to have to start over (I would still...
We started off playing 3.5 but there was some drama between people in the group so the guy who had the books for it pulled out (think it was his...
Kia ora bro, welcome to the site. I'm in Welly and there seems to be a big metalcore scene here but not as much in the way of proper hardcore or...
Yeah, as I said in my thread which got closed I'm playing D&D 2nd edition with a few mates at the moment. Always wanted to play PnP but only...
This is my plan too bro. I've stopped having meat at lunch now and once I leave home and am doing all my own cooking I'll try and go fully...
Haha, shit, if games were that cheap here I'd probably do nothing else with my time :P Fuck yeah, I love DA: O. Played it through twice...
Hmm, well straight edge is more a subculture, I'd say you're usually gonna be into the music as well if you identify as edge. I don't usually,...
All right, sweet as. Ha, yeah I spent a few months playing Oblivion as well, didn't get as much into Fallout 3 though, although I don't have the...
@ Anxiety: I kind of figured that talking about what RPGs people play didn't quite fit into a topic about the social ramifications of video games,...
Wow, I'm used to being called a coward for being a pacifist but not for being straight edge. And here was me thinking an adult was somebody who...
Haha! Nope :P I get what you mean, that's one of the reasons I don't play online RPGs like WoW, you can get obsessed with always trying to get...
What? Mental weakness because we don't want to fuck up our minds and bodies with drugs? Because we don't buy the idea that you need to be...
Okay, as this came up in another thread I figured I'd start a topic so as not to have it derailed. Not a WoW player myself but I love a good...
Back in the day me and my sister used to go to the video shop every week and get out some anime. Agreed on Neon Genesis being awesome. Haven't...
Labour are the party who have the chance of beating them. Sorry, I should've said; Labour and National are the two major parties here, Labour are...
Depends on your electoral system. For example, in the last election I voted for the Green Party because a) they best represented my own values;...
I approve of this change :good: It's nice to be able to see the full topic title at least.
If there was then I totally missed it. Will have to remember this next year.
I voted in the last elections here and I intend to keep on doing so. Because fuck, if we're going to have a state then I'm going to do my damn...
Oh, don't worry, I completely agree with you on that.
I never denied that. Women can be sexist against women too, of couse.
It's associated with religion, sure, (although I would say in Africa it was more a traditional cultural practice than a religious one) but it's...
What, you've never heard of female genital mutilation? That shit is prevelant throughout Africa and the Middle East. Either I'm misunderstanding...
Ah okay! I figured I was missing some reference. Ha, yeah I'm like that, both my sister and dad are quite olive-skinned though and we're 100%...
Oh, really? Didn't know that. M here means 'we would prefer it if you were 16 or over but we're not gonna stop you'. Hm.
Pale blue, what? I am so confused.
Australia does have an M rating, what they don't have is an R18 rating. So, any game that would be sold as R18 elsewhere will be refused...
That's one of those terms that really pisses me off because it gets thrown around a lot by conservative right wing fucks trying to assault...
I used to use Limewire, back before I discovered torrents. Think some of my friends still use it. Gutted.
Ugh, yeah for me the whole point of straight edge is doing what's right by yourself and living how you want, rather than how other people think...
I don't see how anyone could claim he was a sell out. The guy still charges no more than 10 bucks a gig even over here in New Zealand. He's...
My local MP was openly gay before he got elected but, er, that certainly wasn't part of his campaign. Haha. But yeah, I don't see how someone...
I've actually had very similar thoughts to this. So, yeah, I don't really get it either.
Huggy Bear's album Taking the Rough with the Smooch is one of the best riot grrrl albums imo, the rest of their stuff doesn't live up to it but...
Team Dresch! But yeah, Limp Wrist are pretty awesome, been thrashing them a bit lately.
To be honest I haven't read any Chomsky. Probably should. Maybe not, I do though. Kropotkin wrote about Tolstoy as an anarchist I think.
Well yes, but that comes under the anarchist umbrella.
Anarchist: Emma Goldman, Leo Tolstoy, Peter Kropotkin, Mikhail Bakunin. Non-anarchist: John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell, Thomas Pogge.
Athiest. I'm opposed to hierarchical religious institutions of course but I'm totally cool with any individual having their own religious...
I listen to a bit of electronic music, e.g. Minuit, Ladytron, The Knife, IAMX. But trance and that I just find incredibly boring.
I saw that movie and thought it was terrible, haha. But then I think Star Wars is pretty terrible too. Anyone seen Moon? Finally watched that...
The Evens are good eh, they played here a few years ago and I went and saw them, before that I didn't even know who Ian MacKaye was. It was such...
Yeah I read it last year. Need to read some more of Solzhenitsyn's stuff, that guy was a legend.
I'm usually either in or near the pit, depending how violent it is. I like to burn energy but sometimes it gets out of control yeah. Between...
