it was on the weird transition EP between kyuss and kwatsa. it was a kyuss EP entitled queens of the stone age, with half songs being kyuss ones, and the other half being queens. or what would become queens. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...10:uqf4zf0oeh3k

gretzky is still a bad example. child prodigy. how many of us here are child prodigies?? the exception should not become the rule. perhaps saying that is a cop out as well. who put a stick in wayne's hands? who let him skate at the age of three? my parents didn't put me on the ice until i was 5 or 6. who knows, i could've missed out on some pretty important hockey development time. had walter gretzky not played and enjoyed hockey as much as he did, do you think wayne would've been able to progress as much as he did? he may have had the potential in him, but growing up in any other situation, his talents wouldn't have been able to manifest. let's just agree to disagree.

you mean what record? or what

so maybe i donated as well, i just rememberred now, i said i would.

uneducated? i am aware that it is a factor of both. but to what extent? that is what i am trying to argue. i understand that the debate has its limits, but when you're trying to argue that someone is genetically predisposed to play hockey well, or is really good at video games naturally, that's a leap itself. i'm not denying that it's a mix of things. but when it comes to something like sports, or just in relation to what someone is good at, genetics can only take you so far. it reminds me of how some people try to argue that black people are genetically predisposed to be faster than any other race, that's why they do so well at track. in waynes case, i still hold that his talents are more a product of great parenting, a good attitude, and the fact that he practiced 4-5 hours each day. his genetics may have provided the potential for his success, but had he never applied himself, or if walter gretzky was a dead beat and never helped wayne with his hockey, wayne would not be where he is today. saying someone is naturally good at something means that had wayne never played hockey, and decided at the age of 30 to pick up a stick, he would've still been "the great one". existence preceeds essence. but let's use a different example. i'm a good writer. i was not a good writer from birth, and was never considerred a child prodigy like mr. gretzky. it took time and a lot of shitty essays to get me where i am today. did my genetic makeup kick in later? or was it my experiences that led me to where i am now?

Anyone Remember B.t.k.?

i remember BTK. i wish i didnt though, they were pretty bad. -
right out of the womb eh?
-
yeah i dont hear any similarities. okay, maybe new broken social scene to some of the arcade fires stuff, but still the BSS material is way more sprawling and self indulgent than anything the arcade fire have done.

it wasnt his "destiny" nor was he good at hockey from birth. he worked at it like everyone else. it was learned.

gotta love franklin

paul bethany sounds cool to me, he's got the right face for it. please no jake gyllenhal, he's too whiny to be harvey dent. i could be wrong though. i heard a rumor that they were considerring phillip seymour hoffman for the role of the penguin. i also heard that bob hoskins was being considerred for the same role, but apparently that's been changed to an "italian mobster".
-
broken social scene all the way... why do you ask?
-
no, that's what social constructionists say. as for you, i don't think you're in the best position to be preaching to others since your strength is in video games.

hahaha nice way to spice up the board a bit. so none survived?

there's no such thing as natural skill.
