At one time a deep, earthy, and universally respected genre of folk music embraced by people from all walks of life, and performed by heartland poets who wrote touching melodies and thought-provoking but subtle messages about life, love, and loss, country music has now grown into a dim shadow of its former greatness.
Record companies have appropriated it for their own profit as they will with any great artistic movement. Insipid, voiceless dandies with the depth of wading pools have been propped up as the new "idols." Irresponsible and uninformed political rhetoric has usurped the lyrical foreground, alienating many fans and completely betraying the music's original status as art for the everyman, while mediocrity and uniformity sum up the musical direction.
If we can ever be blessed again by another visionary, a Williams Sr., a Cash, a Cline, or a Miller, maybe things will change. But for now, country music remains a brutally raped and distorted picture of art stolen from the artists.

You call that country music? Toby Keith is nothing more than an obnoxious, pre-packaged pretty-boy masquarading as a country artist! Shut that crap off and play me some Johnny Cash!!!

A first person shooter originally made by a man called Gooseman in 1999 as a modification to the game Half-Life. The game consists of two teams, the Counter-Terrorists and Terrorits. Each team purchases weapons at the start of a round and tries to either kill every member of the opposite team or complete an objective.
The game has become an extremely popular FPS over the years, and despite running on a 7 year old game, is still played by many people.
However, many people have hatreds toward the game because of it's popularity and will insult it given a moments notice. Even people who have not played the game or only played for a short amount of time have very biased opinions towards the game.
Despite what many people say, the game is very fun with a good community. There is a reason why it is so popular after all.

Get the Countryhumans mug.Chelmsford County High School For Girls, otherwise known as CCHS, is an all-girls grammar school in the South East of England. Despite most classes being rowdy and generally unproductive, it somehow gets extremely good results.
CCHS girls typically spend at least half an hour every morning at the bus station or outside KEGS, where they get their only taste of boys.
There are many cliques within the years, and generally one "outsider" in the class, who make no effort to talk to, let alone make friends with anyone else in their class. There are often disputes within these cliques, and in this situation everyone in the class has to 'choose a side'. These arguments usually include a few people in tears, while others comfort them while bitching about the others.
Most girls in the school attempt to bend the uniform rules, however the teachers are especially harsh about the length of the skirts. Typically, a conversation between a teacher and a girl with an apparently short skirt (these teachers really want to go to Duke's if they want to see a short skirt) goes like this:
Teacher: Is that skirt rolled up?
Student: Ummmm, no.
Teacher: 3 infringements.
The rather queer method of lying about whether your skirt is rolled up or not is very popular at CCHS, however almost always fails.
At the beginning of a new year, all girls feel superior to the lower years. This leads to younger students feeling completely alienated. Stereotypes of the years include:
Year 7 - Huge blazer, skirt past knees, bag the size of Bancroft, awful haircut
Year 8 - Just discovered KEGS, pop socks, shorter skirt, too rowdy for their own good
Year 9 - Too cool for school, dragged away from the boys at discos by teachers, sometimes try smoking, stressed about IT GCSEs
Year 10 - Just don't care, really bad fake tans, stressed about exams, hated by most teachers
Year 11 - Oldest in uniform, very intimidating, shout at younger years if necessary
Year 12 - Sometimes get lost, which brings much amusements to others, very enthusiastic.
Year 13 - Never want to leave, no one ever wants them to leave.

Get the Chelmsford County High School For Girls mug.The country girl effect states that when a hot girl from the country moves into the city, and is unaware of just how attractive she is, she may be prone to dating males of significantly less attractiveness.
Some studies (read: me guessing) suggest that after the move to the city, the hot country girl assumes that few people talk to her because of any reason but the actual one: shes really hot and thus intimidating.
Also, the effect consistently makes the country girl's values significantly different than her urban-dwelling counterparts; the country girl tends to care less about appearances and more about other things. What is found attractive may be different than what you may be accustomed to when dealing with urban girls.
Guys that bank on their personality: rejoice. The country girl effect is absolute law. Catch them before they find out they're hot!
