When ever this subject comes up it makes me think of the same thing. What would a gender neutral world actually be like? Everyone wearing the same style clothing, no gender specific colors, hairstyles, etc... You would have trouble telling someones gender until they started to grow facial hair or develop other gender characteristics. Some wouldn't develop those characteristics until their mid twenties if at all while others would in their early teens.

No grown ups make decision like I do. I don't own a firearm because the cost of a safe to properly store one is more than I'm willing to pay for something I probably will never have a real need for. Although I do know people who live outside the city who do have them and have used them when rabid coyotes have gotten into their trash, barns, and go after their animals.

If you take a look at that list you will find a lot of those appear to be gang, alcohol, or drug related. Why pretend that guns are the problem when people will still find a way especially if there is money involved.

The closet thing I own to a firearm is a staple gun, so not trying to enhance my member.

When people take something and blow it out of proportion to make a point suddenly people are believing there is a war zone full of gun crazies running around, which just isn't the case. There isn't even really that many gun related gang deaths.

I'm sorry, what is it? According to the CDC influenza and pneumonia are a bigger killer than guns and nearly half of gun deaths are suicide. What mass shootings are you talking about the few that hit national news and are talked about over and over for decades, that one at the high school in Colorado happened 16 years ago?

Well Google, Microsoft, and Cox already signed up so CNS expects the same kind of deal with TWC.

Indie label also provide booking, promotion, and merchandise supply chains for artists but their contracts are not as all inclusive and the services are more limited than big name label's. My brother is in a band on an indie they got distribution and promotion for their album {commercial and college radio play} but nothing else they work with various booking and promotion services for live events and have a separate supply chain for merchandise.

Yes, I ain't no good at it english even though I grew up in the US and it's the only language I speak.

I would go for Mad Max vs Terminator in Jurassic Park...

This still goes on and every self important one of them has and calls my cell number as apposed to tier I or a self service option because after a five day countdown reminding them it's time to change their password they just let it expire anyway.

if all you do is play some local festivals, events, bars, etc.. have a few t-shirts and a home studio recording you can even be loved locally but you are not the person I'm referring to.

I'm talking about the guys that write songs, record albums, do or commission cover art, merchandise designs, promotional art, music videos, have supply chains, promoters, and administrative overhead, tour for months at a time, do crap music blog interviews, internet radio shows, college and commercial radio shows, magazine interviews.

They are on that list of things I wish I hadn't thrown out along with an unopened millennium falcon model I tossed when I went off to college. The alpha beta and unlimited editions appear to be fetching some good prices if you happen to have a hoard of them you could make out like a bandit.

To bad I didn't stop to think about what I was doing when I threw out my old magic cards I could of dusted off some of those alpha beta and filled up my check book.

Records are usually sold as a collectors item they can be very expensive to have cut, my brother is trying to find a good supplier that isn't going to break the bank.

That would be the part you didn't understand, music isn't a hobby for a recording artist. What you have are indie artists putting in full time hours plus working a regular full time job, sometimes their regular job is related to music but most of them just have regular jobs. They travel and sometimes a show doesn't even cover their costs even though there are 1k people attending.
