Anyone know the theories? Music is one of the things that feels higher than the animal human existence... in a way it inspires religious devotion....
Debating about whether someone is 'great' or not is futile. The definition of 'great' is almost as vague as 'good'. I believe that Alexander was...
Agreed. Fraggle is the man.
You've succeeded in confusing the hell out of me. Which one of us is obtuse? Nope. That's not what I said. I believe that the most powerful...
Yes, Alexander did claim to be a god. But whether he decided on the title of 'the Great' is unclear. So how does it matter? Every great man is...
I think, from an athropological point of view, the woman is put into a more vulnerable position. By bearing children she does a great service to her...

The Equal Rights Amendment has failed several times. I don't disagree, but for some reason it is controversial. Neither gender has the right to...
Oh please. You are no psychologist. Trust me when I say that if I got away with it, I would be happy. If you think that crime never leads to true...
I liked that last article. Is anyone else seriously reading this?
Humanism is neither. It's human life above all else. That's the most rational psuedo-theology around. The United States was founded under the...
What is your explanation of slavery, then? Oh, but it would make me very happy to kill some people. Very happy. I would also be very happy to I...
It's a fairly weak argument. First of all, the Declaration of Independence is not the Constitution. Slavery was instituted as it was written....
Indeed. Everyone is egotistical.
