Any advice on how not to suck at writing songs?

oooOOOOoo...Maki can I!?

Stop writing about stuff nobody including yourself wants to hear about.

I've seen your poetry If you want to write sad depressing sappy love stuff you need to do it with more mystique, listen to some Counting Crows. Unless your talkin musically...then your in the wrong sub-forum.

Maki, will society, as a whole EVER move away from paper and coin based monetary system and make a move to purely debitted card / other like mode of transaction for goods and services? If you do think so, do you think that is the smart move? Will it help deter crime like muggings? Will we ever move to a utopian society not bothered by the persuit of monetary gain, but to the betterment of the species living equally, like in Star Trek?

that's gotta be at least 10 cents worth of answer potential, sorry good sir.

No. I see it moving more towards a cash and barter system. Something we're pretty familiar with being musicians used to trading and acquiring music gear. Star Trek would often set up utopian ideals based on different government systems or philosophical ideas. The society you describe sounds like a communist idea, and we've seen a few of those rise and fall in different degrees and scales. I think this idea works best in smaller groups, but even then it could easily be dismantled by a few greedy individuals. Read Daniel Quinn's take on Adam and Eve in the story Ishmael. My two cents. :)

Every time I hit a ball; no matter what club I use. The ball goes to the right. Any ideas on how I make them stop doing that?

If you're right handed that's called a slice. If your left handed it's called a hook. Eventually you can get to the point where you learn to play those when necessary. Without looking at your swing, grip, and the way you address the ball, I can't give you very much help. One thing that straightened out my drive was pulling the grip of my bottom hand over slightly. My two cents. :)

Doing away with paper money makes everything traceable...This would go a long way to curtail illegal activities, the drug trade ext ("Hurm why do people keep giving this guy 50 bucks day after day?"). Its completely doable, easy money transfer though some nationalized bank could allow you to loan cash to friends and such and pay for private dealings, the infrastructure is already there for plastic to be used for almost anything....

However for that to happen politicians have to give up their under the table dealings and corruption and we know that's not going to happen.

It's also a great way to slowly remove freedoms and enslave society...Uncle Sam knowing that you spent $22.50 last night at "Jims Adult Videos" can't be a good thing.

EDIT: Sorry your thread is so tempting to get involved in sometimes.

Man. I thought this died. Guess not. Can't keep username down I guess :hmm:

Anyways.... Did username noxious/***hole just post a reference to him fapping? Or am I just really dirty?

While username is poorly skilled at most everything he does, I would imagine that he is an expert at fapping. Thus, he wouldn't be asking for advice on this in my two cent thread. This is not to say, I wouldn't put it beyond him. My two cents. :)
