Vbulletin Forum Software
What do you think of it? How do you compare it to other software? Have you used it as an admin and/or user? What mods and themes do you like? Does anyone have links to some premium and free ones?

Invision Forum Software
How do you feel about it? How do you compare it to other software? What are some themes and mods you like? Does anyone have links to some free and premium ones? I normally post these links on these types of threads, but with Invision they're tough to find.

Can you sing?
I can sing some things, but if it's out of my range, it could be very embarrassing, lol. Well, I admire a lot of high-pitched songs, but it could be suicide trying them. Anyway, though, singing is not easy, so it's understandable why bands need a vocalist and why he might be doing that without playing an instrument. Do you feel the instrument makes singing harder?

What do you consider the hardest subject in high school, university, etc.?
Some people say it is Organic Chemistry. They might be right. What is your choice? Were you able to overcome the difficulty?

Physical Attraction
I rarely like blondes, but there's one I am stuck one. She is too young for me, though. I wouldn't be comfortable dating her, even if, like a lot of celebrities, I could get away with it.

Traveling US highways vs Interstates
US highways are usually way more interesting. Interstates tend to bypass the culture of the area and often the natural scenery. For instance, East Tennessee, my original home, is very beautiful, but interstate 81 cuts thru it, bypassing most of it, as well as anything of cultural significance.

Creative Art and Music vs Cynics
A lot of people don't like creative art, music etc. because they don't think the person has earned the right. In fact, if you go on Facebook groups, even with good stuff, you might run into folks tearing you down. Do you feel this is justified? Do you feel some people are too narrow-minded?

The Obsession with College Education
There's nothing wrong with a college education and I would advise it, just for the experience. However, it's not translating into jobs for many people. In fact, nowadays more people are going into trades than when I was younger (I am now 48.). Anyway, though, I think any major in college can be success, but it depends on how much is put into after-college effort. For instance, even a philosophy degree, something mocked as useless, can be something if you can build a successful blog about the subject (one example).

Do you feel being in the middle-of-the-road in politics is boring?
It seems everyone is into extremes, but well, maybe the middle-of-the-road just doesn't have that Pro-Wrestling flare to it, lol. Well, do you feel politics has changed in the US in the last 50 years? Has it changed in whatever nation you live in? Is this a good or bad thing?

Buying Land - Is it worth it?
I'm buying land from this guy who isn't demanding credit scores etc. My brother claimed it was foolish, but I'm in a situation with bad credit, so I thought, "Why not?". Anyway, so far it is working out. I have been paying for some mountain land (a small lot for around $50 a month) since this summer.

Country Music
What do you like in country music? Do you like the new or old? Some people hate the new cause they say it is generic and without heart. I agree for the most part, but a few popular artists are the exception.

One Theory on Satan Rebelling Against God
My take on the classic story is that Satan foresaw AI and nuclear weapons. In that case, why wouldn't he be cynical about humans and why would he want to bow down to them? Anyway, such a powerful argument would explain why a large number of angels joined Satan. That's something that's not well conveyed in the Bible. Note: my theory is not the popular view of why Satan rebelled, and I've never heard of it before.

Jazz Music
I am a jazz drummer and find jazz interesting. Has anyone else played jazz? What instrument did you play? Who has thought about getting into jazz music as a listener and/or a performer?

Do you feel western men are weak and western people are just weak, in general?
Well, nobody is the same. I don't go for this right-wing view that everyone is supposed to be the same (weight shaming etc.). However, though, an extreme amount of weight, or lack of it, can be dangerous to health.

Does Brain Injury Hurt Reading Ability?
One thing it does is cause nausea. I remember getting sea-sick on bus rides after this concussion I had last February.

Summer plans?
I own some mountain land (Well, I am making payments on a $2000 lot.) in Virginia, so I want to develop it. I figure that would take up a lot of the summer and should be fun. I am looking forward to it, but it will be hard.

Tattoo/Piercings Discussion Thread
My body is loaded with scars/deformities so I can't understand why people would purposely deface their body. Well, actually, I can, but I think if they had my situation, they would think twice. I mean, I had to spend my youth never taking my shirt off (for swimming).

Favorite genre(s)?
I look out for non-fiction about theology, politics, and online money making. I also like biographies about people I find interesting.

Wolt Lab Forum Software
It's probably a better deal than XenForo, IPS etc., but I could be wrong. Well, it depends on whether you just want the basic things people want with a premium forum.

Physical Attraction
I'm pretty open minded to women. I'm not particular. The fact is, I just get stuck on certain faces I find beautiful, but actually, a lot of women are more beautiful when you see the whole package, lol.

Do you feel western men are weak and western people are just weak, in general?
I think that's the truth and most of the phenomenon is due to progressivism and the corruption of the food and drug industries etc. Anyway, though, I do feel the Republicans go into overkill on the snowflake stuff. It becomes obnoxious.

Music Performance
I play drums, guitar, bass guitar, and piano. I used to play violin, mandolin, trumpet, and saxophone. Anyway, drums have always been my best instrument, followed by guitar and I made a lot of progress on violin when I did know it. I started piano lessons in 2nd grade. Unfortunately, I never got passed the intermediate level. I started guitar lessons in middle school. I started playing drums and violin in high school. I learned drums in a public-school setting. I took violin lessons along with my guitar ones. I studied classical violin and fiddle. I took trumpet and saxophone lessons in high school. I learned bass guitar and mandolin on my own. Anyway, the bass guitar has the same notes as the lower strings of a guitar.

Does Brain Injury Hurt Reading Ability?
I was beat up in the head really bad once and it was painful for me to read, but that lasted only a day or so. But it was weird to have pain reading. That's really scary. Anyway, I went to the doctor to get it checked out, but they said nothing was wrong. Yeah, right, lol.

XenForo and Your Favorite XenForo Themes and Mods
I like the themes of Doh Theme company. I also love XenForo, but I sold all of my 6 licenses cause down on money. Anyway, I sort of regret it, but, then again, they're more useful in the hands of people who can do something with them.

The Decline of Modern Western Pop Music
I play guitar and I find it quite easy to write new music on it. However, stuff that has words along with the music is a different matter, and, of course, that's what people really want.
