[QUOTE="Zoatebix, post: 1458081, member: 11401"] Why does 'argument' have to be conceptualized in agnostic and warlike metaphor in Western culture ('attacking' and 'defending' 'positions' and 'points'...)? That's it - I'm putting my foot down. We need to invent a new form of discourse and make up a word for it. ;) Anyways - I'm not sure whether we have an argument either, but was trying to build up steam to play Devil's Advocate...People do all kinds of stupid stuff that screw up their way to great adult life. The Judas Priest suicide pact kids, the EverQuest addicts, LARP addicts, D&D satanists and suicides... their problems originate not in their music or hobbies, but in something more deeply rooted. In England in the 18th Century, and into the 19th, the reading of novels was seen as a great danger to society's morals - "Purify your reading if you would guard your virtue!" And hey, if you know little tidbits like 'etc.' is a euphemism for female genitalia, [i]some[/i] of that 18th C stuff approaches the raciness of the 'sex on tv' people campaign against today. These days, the education establishment (as presented by the news media) seems ecstatic if a kid will pick up a novel of his own volition. Writers don't strive to be poet laureate anymore, they strive to write the Great American Novel. The 18th century cry against novels has shifted to our current popular forms. I don't know where we're going, but some perspective keeps me... I don't know what it keeps me. Skeptical, maybe? I'm not sure whether the above is bull or insight. Anywho, I've only heard a few tracks by De La Soul - time to listen to a whole album on one of my friend's computers. Yay for Itunes and Universities! I changed my mind - no hip-hop at the game table. april fools [/QUOTE]
