Maybe she didn't kill as mush as Hitler or Stalin, but she was far more sadist and ruthless (which is our modern idea of "evil") than both of them. I don't know if this is a good list, being so informative, or a bad list, which will give me nightmares for the first night of 2011... ... OK, just kidding, but still. Very, very, very disturbing, though very well-written.

Cuba has good things, like the FREE healthcare, but it also has bad things. Same happens with your little "idiotic american heaven", it has good things and bad things. In my opinion, both Cuba and the US have more bad things than good things. FAR more. And both suffer from the same thing: THE WORST POLITICIANS IN THIS ENTIRE PLANET.

Sums up about everything I think about the US. Also, it reminds me of a video I saw on the internet. They made a poll on the US for people to name countries whose name began with U. People said Hungary and exactly 1 guy thought about United States...

Sadly, true communism can't work in this world, where greed is treated as the biggest virtue possible, while it's the weapon that destroys society from within.

But, as I said, to SOME they were hard rock. They HAD the characteristics. As I said, they INVENTED it, obviously they had those characteristics. HOWEVER, on their prime, those characteristics weren't AS MUCH present as in "modern" heavy metal bands, so people have trouble classifying them.

No country has ever achieved a true communist status. Communism states every one is equal. So, there is no government, the country is supposed to live in a perpetual state of anarchy. People tried to bring communism but failed. When they reached their posts as dictators, the politicians didn't want to get rid of the power they had in their hands, so communism lever became reality.

There are systems that work and systems that doesn't, but no system is good. Is capitalism good? No. Many people die and are killed to make sure the rich get even richer. Is communism good? No. It fails to see that the seed of greed within every one is what moves society.

However, taking profit of that greed while ruining those that don't have the money to make profit from it is not a sign that capitalism is a good thing, it's exactly the opposite.

It's freaking christmas and it was wrote from such a selfish point of view... As I said to a friend: numbers 9, 8 , 2 and 1 are not exactly how you've put them numbers 7 and 6 are not necessarily something good number 5 is relative to one's position in society number 3 was dumb, that is a characteristic of capitalism, in a world with, let's say, communism, where everyone is treated as equals in everything (when it WORKS, not like cuban, sovietic or north korean communism) there's no need for growth, as it would have no purpose. And just to be sure, in case this REALLY IS a joke, it was written in a very non-funny way...

It's not that I like death grunts more than clean singing, much on the contrary, I prefer clear singing, there is absolutely no death or black metal among my favorites (though that doesn't mean I never listen to these styles). Besides, their cover of Disco Inferno sounded very nice, that rythm sounds nice on a guitar...

You can't say that a cover of Frank Sinatra from a death metal band isn't "genre-defying"... Besides that, it's a very nice list, I didn't know of about most of them. I especially liked that cover of Nirvana.

For left-handed people, the right side of the brain is the more analytical one. For right-handed people, the left side of the brain is the more analytical...

So those girls came, in fact, from the same picture.
