I thought about deathy the other day when I added Russian Ark to our Netflix queue. I never would have known about it otherwise.

The Amazon review I'll link here touches on what the series is really meant to accomplish. http://www.amazon.com/U2-Philosophy-Popular-Culture/dp/0812695992/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7336356-4821532?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173324892&sr=8-1 ...introducing philosophy in the context of a popular music...

Actually, the book is very much intended to be Philosophy 101. (pax=Abigail Myers, co-author of the U2 and Feminism essay. Hi, y'all.) The book series of which the U2 and Philosophy book is a part was founded by a college professor of mine, William Irwin (responsible for the Seinfeld and...

Well, it sure would be un-classy of me to not post here and thank all you nice people for the birthday wishes, as a little birdy told me I had a b-day thread going. :) I celebrated by listening to the Scotland-USA match on the BBC and cooking chicken parmesan with Ewen, followed by an evening...

I'm not sure how I feel about wishing people hbd before the "bd" actually happens. :| :sexywink: Many, many happy returns to the lovely woman we know as beegee. :hug:

I beat you to the punch on that theory, Dread. :wink:

If I was the new s.o. in the situation, I would admire your loyalty to your friend and your consistency in giving the ticket to the individual to whom it was initially offered. It would say to me, "Here's a dude who respects his friendships, honors agreements, and who will do the same for me if...

I'm not sure that verte's characterization was incorrect. http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/local/12810756.htm On one hand, I suspect that a literalist reading of the Bible could, theoretically, in some folks who are already for various reasons prone to acts of violence...

I don't buy this at all. I'd have exactly the same problems with Miers if she were a man, and I suspect that even the rightiest of the right who are up in arms about her would be the same way. Their arguments, and I guess mine as well, are that if Bush really was keen on nominating a woman...

This has already been debunked elsewhere...no need to panic, everyone. :wink: http://forum.interference.com/t142581.html Fizzers, you want to close this one down to cut off the rumors at the knees?

The noted wild-eyed leftie weirdo Trent Lott also seems displeased. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-miers6oct06,0,1239845,full.story

"Scathing" is a word for it... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/04/AR2005100400954.html From the notable left-wing, anti-Bush, radical liberal columnist... ...George Will.

oh, der...sorry. :reject: I swear, I did not see that she had one already. Merge away.

Have a great one! :)

hbd to Martina. :D

I'm not sure that the question violates the FAQs. And it's something I myself have often wondered, particularly with the passionate embraces and kisses you sometimes see between Bono and the "dancing girls."

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The people's voice on gay marriage --Marriage between children and adults is already legal with the permission of the minor child's legal guardian. The age at which a minor is legal to marry with the guardian's permission varies by state; I believe it's anywhere...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant [/b] I feel smrt now.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The people's voice on gay marriage Well, no, the terms aren't equivalent, but Baptists are, in fact, a Protestant sect. The term "Protestant" covers any Christian sect that is not Roman Catholic or Orthodox (Greek, Russian, etc.)

:applaud:

In that sense, no, marriage is not a right. If you'd like to be married but don't have a willing partner, the government is under no obligation to provide you with one, nor can you select any schlub off the street and demand that someone recognize that person as your spouse just because you...

I imagine that you would have been in favor of putting the question of the African-American vote to a referendum, too. :down:

I think it's interesting that Ramadan and the High Holy Days (for persons of the Muslim and Jewish faiths respectively) fall around the same time this year. Anyway, wishing our Muslim and Jewish post-ers blessed and prayerful holy days. :up: Rosh Hashanah kicks off the High Holy Days today...
