Stratovarius Community

I noticed more&more people from USA are members here! :luv3: I always knew LOTS of StratoFans were in USA, but I always got ridiculed when I mentioned it on this Forum---NOW, the proof is in the Pudding! WEEEEEE'RREEEEE
HEEERRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!

If you want to, give where you are from&a short bio--nothing fancy!

I am Sherry, a divorced Mom of 1, living in a small hick town in North Alabama!


I'l write a tad more later-right now I'm busy-but, I'll be bacK!

That's great,

Now stay off the sherry, Sherry...

Cheers,

Damien

PS: I thought you were going to talk about the upcoming US elections. Who do you think is going to win this time around? It does not look too bright for John Kerry at the moment, with the Republicans' recent media offensive and the hospitalization of Bill Clinton, the democrats' biggest trump. Needless to say, we Europeans hope that arrogant little snit Dubya gets his S kicked right out of the White House, although the ironic reality is that the chaos engendered by both Bush senior and Bush junior's administration's actions in the past two decades almost necessitates the continuation of militant politics, if the USA wants to keep its citizens safe. And when you'll finally be rid of mister Bush in four years, there's always his brother Jeb to continue the mayhem.

But let's talk about brighter things, like a possible American tour of Stratovarius. I see a package tour with P. Diddy and Christina Aguilera...

But then again, I also see pink elephants in tutus on tricycles...

No, just kidding...

That tour will come, if Tolkki keeps it together and focuses on the music.

My secret identity revelaed:

I am Brandon Odom from Omaha, Nebraska. I currently am a full-time college student at Concorida University in Seward, NE majoring in Computer Science. And just for the record...

YES, I AM A HUSKER FAN AND I AM DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!

Awesome to see a USA thread, Always knew the fans were there, just had to look for em. heh Now if only Stratovarius would tour here

I am from Northwest Arkansas and I've been a fan of Stratovarius for quite some time. I recently switched schools but am finishing my Senior year and will be graduating May 20th of 2005. (From High School at least.)

what about me? ..I'm not AMERICAN... but I live here...
oh! Nashville, Tn ... and I don't know where Nebrasca is..Arkansas..etc... am I too far from all this people?
and I was expecting more action in here ..more bands and stuff.. well, I wanted to see Stratovarius but ... you know
in Chile all the action happens in the main city and I was too far from there... now I'm here and I AM FURTHER

Nashvile...that´s the Thunder road city!

Not willing to sneak where i don´t belong to, but i believe you guys should think real deep for the elections this year.

You forget theflyingfinn who also lives there now. BEG, beware, he might be lurking behind your door

Nahhhh, he'd hate it here in this narrowminded, uptight, sexually repressive, borderline Nazistic, gunloving country.
For Petes Sake, he lived in DK--a paradise, IMO!
What is he? An exchange Student, or something?

I'd hardly call a country with one of the biggest (if not the the biggest) porn industries in the world sexually repressive.

He swims. Studying and swimming in some university somewhere, I don't have a clue

Europe's Porn industry is 100X larger--don't you ever really surf the net?;) Don't dare argue--I can give you countries names easily!Even 1000s of websites which orginate from Europe--so do NOT even try to deny such things openly go on in some parts of Europe!

And in Europe, in many places, prostitution is legal-Amsterdam for example where in redlight district women peddle their "wears" in windows in public. There are many places like that in Europe.
But, in USA prostution is totally illegal--I think there maybe a couple places in Vegas where its legal--but, I dunno about that for sure.

LOL! During WWII most every US soldier got "broke in" in the brothels of Europe!;) It was a "rite of passage"! Truth is Truth--thats Life!

Sexual repression is one of this country's major problems, because it keeps people from being educated about smart sexuality. That's why we're so damn overpopulated with stupid people. Or ignorant people. Or ugly people, but that's the alcohol's fault.

*sigh* I'm marianne, i live in florida. I live in the exact opposite kind of environment Sherry lives in, but the same kind of closed-mindedness comes with its inhabitants.

I have two jobs. I work in a coffee shop during the day, and at night i pedal a bicycle taxi in the downtown area. My dad hates both of my jobs and really wants me to quit both of them. He doesn't know i'm paying off a loan.

I'm a year into college, dual majoring in psychology and lighting design. When i'm done i'm going back for Music and Sociology. When i'm done with that i'm going back for Linguistics and Egyptology.

I'm 22.

Could it be Yale?
Maybe he will be USA President someday!=P
Or, at least a member of Skull-n-Bones!

WTF! Don't get all high and rightous on me, no I don't surf the internet for porn because I'm not sad and perverted! I never said anything about Europes porn industry, i was stating how the fact that a place with ONE OF (notice i put the other commenti n brackets,indicating it was an unimformed guess) the biggest porn industries could be sexually repressive, I bet you've been outside of Alabama have you! yes I know that places like Germany and Russia have thriving industries, but remember that Europe is made up of like millions of different countries, and I wouldnt say that all of them have bigger porn exports than America. Don't think the USA is the only place where prostitution is illegal, its ileggal here in the UK too, and thats a good thing if you ask me!

Finn's at the University of Kentucky, as far as I know anyway. I guess he'll have to change his nick to thekentuckywildcat soon.

OMG--I almost feel sorry for him.
Of all areas in USA he chose the SOUTH?!!!Is he a masochist? Or did he get a scholarship to that University? I mean, Why? I guess he is gonna find out if all those Redneck rumors are true!

Yeah, he got a scholarship. I guess they have a pretty good sports program over there, so he could have done a lot worse, too. I heard he also wanted to be somewhat close to you without coming out as a total stalker.

Why? Not much of a choice this year

yeah, it's bad. i can't believe that people still think it's a two party system. you know there are over 50 people running for president? i wrote an article about it, i vaguely remember the figure at the time being 92 candidates or so. i haven't checked lately. scary though.

What the USA needs is a powerful opposition against the democrats and the republicans, perhaps a communist party.

to be the president of this country is the worst job of all ages ....
too much power, too much enemies...

Oh well... This is exactly why I said "I guess". I hope their swimmers are doing better.

I would like to see a communist run for presidency. That would take real balls. Maybe i'll do it.

There IS a socialist candidate this year. His name is Walter Brown.

The problem with challenging the democratic/republican regime is simply....money. corporations back these guys and they back the corporations and you have a chain that can't be surpassed, even by an extremist.

the other problem is the media. media coverage is the key to elections. simply looking at the immediate change in poll percentages after a candidate's tour is proof of that. And our journalists are idiots. They are told to be idiots by the journalism companies, who are funded and/or owned by the corporations. and then you go back to step one.

Somebody please glut the economy and bring about the collapse of the USD.
