| Rock Band 2 Thrasher Expert Guitar 5* [720p]Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:30:32 -0800 by corporalgreggSo about a week ago I finally 5 starred this song. Until then, it was the ONLY song in RB1/2 and all the DLC I couldn't 5 star. I honestly thought I'd never get it. Ended up with 160k.Now that I can record in HD, I decided my first video should be a 5 star of Thrasher, though it was still a pain in the ass to 5 star a 2nd time and this run is only 153k, but who cares! I never want to play this song again!ooooh high definition! the future is now! Related: rock band evile thrasher guitar expert dlc five stars | |

| Israel's failure to learnFri, 09 Jan 2009 01:00:20 -0800 by ArchivesAlgeriennesWhen George Bush, the US president, first entered the White House as the commander-in-chief in 2001, Palestinians were being killed in the al-Aqsa intifada.Eight years later, as Bush prepares to leave office, Israel is carrying out one of the largest massacres in its 60-year occupation of Palestine.The US, then and now, strongly backs Israel's offensive, justifying it as being, in fact, defensive.An Israeli general recently threatened to use military force to set Gaza back decades in much the same language used before the invasion of Lebanon in 2006. But despite the Israeli devastation of Lebanon, Hezbollah emerged victorious and the Shia resistance and social movement emerged a hero to the Arab world.Israel is about to make the same mistake with Hamas. Its notion of a truce with Hamas was that the Palestinians would quietly accept the siege. Israel would deny them the basic means of survival, let alone the basic means to create a functioning society. If the Palestinians attempted to resist, they would be crushed. As in Lebanon, Israel should have learned years ago that military might cannot crush Palestinian resistance movements.While the Israeli military again bombs the starving and imprisoned population of 1.5 million Gazans, the world watches their plight live as Western media scrambles to explain and, in some cases, justify the ongoing carnage.Even some Arab outlets have attempted to equate Palestinian resistance - and homemade rockets - with the might of the Israeli military machine.However, none of this is a surprise; the Israelis just concluded a global public relations campaign to gather support for their assault, even gaining the collaboration of some Arab states.An American periodical once asked me to contribute to a discussion on whether terrorism or attacks against civilians could ever be justified.My answer was that an American journal should not be asking whether attacks on civilians can ever be justified. This is a question for the weak, such as the Native Americans 150 years ago, the Jews in Nazi Germany, and the Palestinians today, to answer.Terrorism is a normative term which is used to describe what the 'other' does, not what 'we' do.Powerful nations such as Israel, the US, Russia or China will always describe their victims' struggle as terrorism.However, they fail to acknowledge as acts of terror the destruction of Chechnya, the slow slaughter of the remaining Palestinians, the repression of Tibetans, and the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.Normativ e rules and what is legal and permissible are determined by the powerful. They formulate the concept of terrorism in normative terms and make it appear as if a neutral court derived such definitions instead of the oppressors.For the weak to resist becomes illegal by definition.This excessive use of legal jargon actually undermines the fundamentals of what is truly legal and diminishes the credibility of international institutions such as the UN. The law becomes the enemy of those who struggle.It becomes apparent that the powerful - those who make the rules - insist on legality merely to preserve the power relations that serve them or to maintain their occupation and colonialism.In 1948, when Israel was being established as a new state, 750,000 Palestinians were deliberately cleansed and expelled from their homes, and hundreds of their villages were destroyed.Their lands were settled by colonists who even today deny their very existence and wage a 60-year war against the remaining natives and the national liberation movements the Palestinians established around the world.Israel, its allies in the West and some regional Arab countries have managed to corrupt the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) and entice them with the promise of power at the expense of liberty for their people.This eventually neutralised and transformed the PLO into a liberation movement which collaborates with the occupier.The focus then shifted to Hamas, a movement which won legislative elections nearly three years ago and thus became a target for the Israelis.By enforcing an embargo and allowing Israel's siege of Gaza, the world has effectively told the Palestinians that they are unfit for democracy.

| (7) A Calvinist Examination Of Friedrich Nietzsche's PhilosophyThu, 08 Jan 2009 23:44:28 -0800 by RedBeetleHave you ever tried to define the term 'freedom?' It can be more difficult than you might at first imagine. Friedrich Nietzsche defined the term 'freedom' in a manner consistent with German anarchist philosopher Max Stirner. We'll have more to say about Stirner in later videos (his philosophy made Nietzsche's look tame).Nietzsche defines freedom, and the emphasis seen is completely his, when he writes:For what is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for oneself. To keep the distance which separates us. To become more indifferent to hardship, severity, privation, and even to life. To be ready to sacrifice men for ones cause, ones self not excepted. Freedom implies that manly instincts, instincts which delight in war and triumph, dominate over other instincts; for example over instincts of happiness. The man who has become free, treads under foot the contemptible species of well-being dreamt of by shopkeepers, Christians, cows, women, Englishmen, and other democrats. The free man is a warriorThe people who were worth something, who became worth something, never acquired their greatness under liberal institutions: great danger made something out of them which deserves reverence,--danger which first teaches us to know our resources, our virtues, our shield and sword, our genius,--which compels us to be strongFirst principle: men must require strength; otherwise, they never attain it.--Those great forcing-houses for the strong, the strongest species of man that has hitherto existed, the aristocratic commonwealths of the pattern of Rome and Venice, understood freedom precisely in the sense in which I understand the word: as something which one has and has not, as something which one desires, which one wins by conquest(Twilight Of The Idols, Roving Expeditions Of An Inopportune Philosopher, Section 38, pages 59-60)Dutch Calvinist Herman Hoeksema also knew the true definition of freedom. He writes:Freedom does not consist in this, that man emancipates himself from God and His law, that he declares his independence from the Lord of all, that he thinks as he pleases and wills as he pleases and acts accordingly. For this is not freedom, but licentiousness. In such a state man purposes to make his own God and determine for himself what is good and what is evil. But true freedom is the inner harmony of mans heart and mind and will and whole life with the law of God. That man is truly free who has the law of God written in his heart, whence are the issues of life, who has his delight in the law, whose thinking and willing, whose longing and desires, whose works and whose deeds are in perfect accord with that law. As the poet of Psalm 119 has it: And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty; for I seek thy precepts. Psalm 119:43-45. That man is free whose inmost heart is in accord with this law of God and who is motivated by the love of God in all his thinking and willing and his whole life.(Reformed Dogmatics, Chapter 4, Page 212)Friedrich Nietzsche was fond of maxims, but so are Calvinists. I will end this article by repeating John Robbins maxim: Freedom is the rule of Gods law, the perfect law of liberty!
