		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yuletide: The "size" of a group does not justify hating it. (Is it ok to hate the Chinese - they have the largest population of all nations?).
Also, note how "Mari" supports my comment. She can only "see" blood on the Christians hand, and Christians persecuting Jews. Well now, just pickup any newspaper, you can read about plenty of blood on Jewish hands.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Metal like all music is about feeling. I used to be an avid rock listener, but I got sick of the subject matter (he loves me, she loves me not, etc.). What first got me into metal was the fascinating subject matter. I'm a fan of fantasy and I love getting lost in a story. I also found metal at a point in my life where things like school and marks started to matter. I, for one, hate school. Blasting metal music was one of the few ways my feelings were free. The loudness swallowed my rage and the technicality kept me distracted. The beautiful orchestral elements kept me in touch with something when I was really down. Essentially, it did everything for me that rock did, but it did it better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To a certain extent, I blame the music theory courses I took for my appreciation of metal as it meant that I was exposed to the full orchestra sound for years. Really, it just made me used to a full sound. I have a feeling that listening to opera singers in my classes also endeared me more to that style of singing and to more technical singers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm also a sucker for lyrical references to fantasy, Classical literature, and anything exotic so even the oh-so-cheesy genre of power metal just connects with me in a ridiculous way. I like over the top.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But those are all of my own little personal reasons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All in all, I really have to agree with Chris Humphrey. The fact that metal is not some disgustingly mainstream genre that is embraced by everyone makes it a rebellious genre.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Why are you trying to turn metal into rock?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rock is a liberal genre. But liberalism has failed. It has made the USA into an egocentric mess, has turned its culture into mush, and made it ripe for corporate conquest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Plato tells us, liberalism empowers tyrants and oligarchs, and no one else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't "deconstruct" metal. Take it for what it is: a spirit, an ethos, in which reality and the beauty of nature and the power of warfare are more important than morality (a/k/a liberalism).&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You misinterpret ANUS because of your own political bias.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are nihilists, which means we see reality literally, without a moral filter. Science and history are our guides.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pay attention to this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.goodrumj.com/RFaqHTML.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is a biological component to race, as is obvious since grouped traits always have a genetic component.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is worthwhile to preserve the individual traits of every population, whether Aztec or German.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, we stand against bigotry in all forms. Bigotry in our view is assigning superior/inferior designations to different races; our point is that honest racial separation leads to preservation of culture, which is our only resistance to corporate existence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We do not own or operate the anti-humanism web site.&lt;/p&gt;

		<title>Comment on A National Socialist Rejection of Black Metal by Vijay Prozak</title>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Neo-Nazis are not National Socialist, either. They're bigots.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The NSDAP wanted ethnic nationalism for Germany, which meant excluding other groups. They took it too far (in my view) and became abusive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ethnic nationalism is a cornerstone of the Romantic ethos to which black metal ascribes, because Romanticism is the major force against modernity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At least, this is true for black metal from 1989-1995. Everything after that is against all sense: garbage music, scummy and stupid people, retarded aesthetics, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I didn't see anything remotely incoherent or confusing about anything said by ANUS.com. They may be pretty weird or angry but what they say makes sense. They want seperate cultures and races. So? If indeed it is racism why are we fixated on it anyway? These are the same bands that worship Satan and talk about disembowelding fetuses and sleeping with dead bodies, but we're offended by racism? For example:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Oooh, I'm going to start a death metal band about raping dead children but we won't be racist because racism is bad and mean."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the type of air-head liberal mentality found in the metal community today. They want to be rebellious but in a 'safe' way by embracing PC nonsense. Metal is about provoking and transcending modernity and if it offends someone since when was the metal community supposed to care?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;To reply to the above:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"As same goes for the fucked up eastern Europeans, iranians turkiens and japanese people etc. that worships hitler(There appears to be nazis all over the world, aparently, an army of people thinking that they are a part of Hitler and Himmlers so - called “race pure” people"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not necessarily. NS idealists were more concerned with preserving their own race and traditions and didn't necessarily seek the extermination of other races. Although there was undoubtly some conflict within NS Germany over the level of racism I don't actually see the Nazis as 'white supremacist' as they are portrayed. In fact, Germany was allied with the Japanese, Arabs, Turks, North Africans, and a plethora of diverse peoples.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now it is popular, especially within the idiotic 'neo-nazi' crowd to espouse immature bigotry and hatred towards other races. Like the NSBM scene, the retards over at Storm Front, NSM, Nat Al, etc are living by this stupid hollywood image of drunken imbeciles shouting white power and attacking immigrant stores. If NS ever wishes to be legitimate it will stop hating other races and religions and start being productive. But I doubt that will ever happen.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, I put it this way: I think the
Black Metal artist that forward nazi - ideas, probably would have ended in the gass - chambers very quickly. As same goes for the fucked up eastern Europeans, iranians turkiens and japanese people etc. that worships hitler(There appears to be nazis all over the world, aparently, an army of people thinking that they are a part of Hitler and Himmlers so - called "race pure" people). I just laugh at all these stupid people, that obviously dont have anything else to do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"There is nothing “National Socialist” about looking like a mixture between a flower power hippie and a homosexual leather fetishist".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You bet!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hello.  I am producing an educational documentary film on ADHD -and I'm looking for people open to sharing their experiences with the disorder.  Your essay is illuminating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The current direction of the film is an exploration of ADD/ADHD and how if affects the lives of children and families.  We are looking for personal stories that show the different psychological, educational and social implications of a condition that – though widely diagnosed - is so often misunderstood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know it is a sensitive subject, but an important one that needs more coverage.  If you or anyone you know that lives with ADHD might be interested in participating in the film, please call or email me any time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best,&lt;/p&gt;
