What is it with atheists and metal, its almost endemic.

Metal isn't really my cup of tea. I prefer a nice acoustic melody.

I've mentioned it in other posts that there is a strong, proven correlation between high IQ and a penchant for listening to heavy metal. And also a correlation between high IQ and being Atheist. So the link between HM and Atheism follows. 

Well, it works for me...   :P

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

I love Metallica, new and old. And I'm 54. :)

Is it a rejection of the status quo thing?

My aunt got me into Metallica at an early age. I introduced it to one of my most intelligent friends at the age of 12.  I started him off light with a little fight fire with fire.  he has been known since then to play entire Metallica songs on guitar and not only sing the lyrics, but break them down as well.  Why did Master of puppets have a mellow period in the middle?? Because they rocked so fucking hard up till that point that anyone would need a break.  I love SOAD, slipknot, and early manson, but nothing will ever take the place of 80's Metallica.  Jethro Tull be damned!!

No, the farm raised mostly mink with a few foxes. I fed and watered the animals and cleaned cages and helped in other misc. jobs.

Cleaning animal poop? I would rather work in the cornfield.  I have never done either job so I guess I shouldn't really compare the two. But yeah corn sounds better than animal poop.

NO!!! look at my pic do I look anti fur? If they had mink on a stick I would eat that sh!t!!I meant to say something dirty when I saw fur farm, then I saw that budhorse is only 16.  So I backed off.  Can't get much dirtier than a fur farm.  Do they farm lightning bolts or landing strips? Giggity
