Do you think the reason Jesus Christ doesn't rise again is because we keep putting up crosses and he gets flashbacks on how that went last time?

I will never show empathy for a bigot or a man who believed empathy is a made up term. Simple as that.

@reiko You know, it's funny; the way you wrote examples of their exchanges are exactly how I imagined it going - just constantly belittling each other to the point where everyone else would think that there's actually love loss between them, but in reality it's just some weird, kind-of-sort-of-but-not-really friendship.
But that last one though. Had me like:

Pfft, I hope you won't take it personal when Jackson sailor tongues Alex to death(yes, I meant that to sound as sexual as it did in my head). But seriously, no personal feelings hurt here at all. Tbh, I see her and Jackson having quite the interesting relationship. Of course not really close buddybuddy at first because of the reasons you stated, but after a while - assuming we go the extra mile with these two, of course - I can totally seeing them having the kind of relationship where they dog on each other, insult each other constantly, say that their side of Seattle is better than the other's side of Seattle. Pretty much be those kind of friends that just find ways to insult each other as much as they can. Sort of like the relationship between Jackson and Ghost, which is gonna be the same way. They have that kind of relation where they dog on each other a lot, kind of like a friendly rivalry-esque thing.

The two of them will either become instant best friends because of their shared hometown or they will hate each other's guts. The optimist in me is betting on the former, but whose to tell when it comes to your Alex.

@Altered Tundra I now want to interact with Jackson. Just cause Alex likes to be in confrontations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They will have their time, and it will be glorious!

I always acknowledged Octavarium, but never really gave it enough respect until recently. I passed it off as being too mainstream sounding, which on the surface it was. It's not until you actually take the time (hurrdurr) to really listen to it that you start to understand how much more complex it is.
And yes, These Walls was one of the first tracks on that album that made me take notice.
Although, I gotta say, a lot of Dream Theater's latter day stuff didn't grab me at first. Train of Thought, Octavarium and Systematic Chaos took a while for me. So did Six Degrees (despite The Glass Prison being my favourite DT song).
My absolute number 1 is still Awake though. That to me is probably the most encompassing album, and the strongest in terms of songwriting and performances. It was heavy, it was dark, but it was still melodic and it pushed their sound further outwards.
Then it's Images & Words, and then Scenes From a Memory.
You and I are in agreement about Awake. It's definitely one of their strongest efforts. And I did happen to listen to Learning to Live earlier today. I agree with you on the point that it's beautifully written. Not sure I would call it their best written song, but that might just be me. Lyrically, I really like The Silent Man. And Glass Prison, now that you mention it, was really well-written, I must say.
Also, anyone here fans of Machine Head? I had mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't really into much metal(or good music) in my early teens, but I found them(along with a couple of other bands) through some friends and youtube. They are a band that I find you either love them or hate them In my case, I went up and down on that particular roller coaster. Some of their studio album efforts were great and others not so much. Unto the Locust is definitely my favorite effort from them. Track-to-track, that album didn't waver. To be quite honest, I think it got better as it went on. I am Hell and Who We Are are definitely the strongest tracks off that record for me.
