Polls / Do you think creationism should be banned in schools?

« on: January 03, 2008, 10:27:15 pm »

Today, I was watching ABC news and they were talking about banning schools from teaching about creationism and all the stuff that goes along with that.

I'm personally for banning it. I don't think that we should teach religious stories as scientific facts. Well, I guess I don't mind if evolution is also taught, then it's more fair. But then we should account for other religious and cultures and their creation stories (however similar or different). This most likely won't happen, and I sincerely doubt that they would cover all creation stories, and defiantly not with respect and sincerity that they deserve. I will vote for teach everything because I know that it would be a problem only teaching the two, because then you are excluding people who possibly have different beliefs! Actually, that would make an awesome class (I'm thinking college level though).

Also, what were you taught? I come from a small, conservative Christian farm town. I honestly don't remember being taught either way, but that's in part because everyone just ''knew'' that God created everything in 7 days.

Please don't start an immature fight, intelligent conversation is welcome from all sides!

Other Musicians / Reccomend me a new artist or 3...

« on: January 02, 2008, 01:33:22 pm »

WANTED: A new artist(s?) for me to listen to.

Vanessa-like... I would prefer it to have decent piano music, possibly with any classical instrument. Doesn't matter if it's a guy or girl.

I like... Vanessa (obviously). I like some Ben Folds, but he sometimes annoys me with all his cussing... I don't mind cussing, unless it's in excess where it's not necessary. I think my favorite songs by him are "Zak and Sara" and "Landed". I used to kind of like Michel Branch, but I hear she's headed country. Oh well, never a huge fan. I semi-like Graham Colton. However, a lot his music seems to sound the same... It's okay, he's new. I do like "Forget About You". I liked Sara Bareilles's "Love Song", but I barely enjoyed the rest of the cd. I liked old school Nelly Furtado. I've been trying out Regina Spektor, but I haven't made a full decision on her. I'm leaning towards no..

Can be upbeat or not... Poppy is okay, as long as the artist has more than just that... Variety is good. I don't care if they are popular or not, and I don't care what era. I have tended to like single artists as opposed to bands, but if they are good, I don't care. However, bands I have liked include (old) Goo Goo Dolls, Yellowcard, (a little) Coldplay.

I do NOT like R&B, rap, or extremely twangy country. I like music where people sing... Sounds funny to say, but I guess one must specify these days.

Anyway, I have been searching for a few months, but I just cannot find anything. (Why can't there be more Vanessas out there?)
Please help me! Thank you.
(yes, x posted, but I figure I'd get a bigger span of people.)

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa's DVD?

« on: November 25, 2007, 09:46:38 pm »

I was at the Chicago show, and they were taping for a DVD. I thought I read that they did the same for the NYC show. I know some fans, including me, got interviewed for the DVD.
Soo... Does anyone know anything about this DVD? Since they taped more than one performance, does this mean they will just keep the best performance from each place?
Keep us updated!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Harmonium songbook?

« on: May 25, 2005, 09:01:34 pm »

So I was just thinking... Since Harmonium is being cut, will there still be a songbook released? I mean, it would make sense that it wouldn't be... right?

Does anyone have an updated information about the songbook since she isn't releasing a second single?
