    Saddam is gone!

    And so a tragicomic farce of a trial that helped erode the arguments and aims of the coalition to restore a just legal system as the basis of the new Iraqi regime ends. Though the outcome could never have been conceivably in doubt, and originally I was hopeful for the initiative; the...

    Islam is the best

    Well... Maybe. *smiles* The real question is, best at what? ;)

    Is critical thinking part of religious belief?

    I think that critical thinking is an integral part of religious belief, or at least general religiosity; of course one certainly need not be religious to hold or identify with a religion. By questioning, I accept. By accepting, I question. One leads towards t'other, and flows to the next...

    Liberals need to get off the road!

    Alas, we have no big statues near by where I live. It's hardly the most cultured place one could visit, our village hall had to recently put up a sign expressly forbidding farmers from using parts of it to store their cattle over winter. *smiles* I could, of course, pile up several cows...

    Liberals need to get off the road!

    Inspired by this wonderful thread: http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43668 I come before you all to beg, to plead, for action. For too long we have allowed a scourge of liberals to hog the highways and byways of our towns, cities and villages. Where once children joyously...

    Libras Need To Get Off The Road !!!

    Curses! I first read the thread title as: I came here hoping to sign some form of petition; it would have made my driving test somewhat easier... Looks like I'll have to make my own. ;)

    What religion would you be...

    But my religion doesn't exist, and yet I still follow it. Heaven and earth share the same root, as do I and my faith. Were it to exist, it would be real and I wouldn't be able to follow it. Were Taoism to be wiped away, I suspect that my abstractions of my faith would change and develop...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    *smiles* A fruball-worthy action if ever I saw one! ;) I'd disagree. Fascism certainly was the cause for a lot of 'negatives' for Italy and the Italian people, but for much of the regime's existence it was largely popular and it did bring about a number of benefits and improvements. For...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    If I recall correctly, Corporate economics is/was focused on subjugating the private sphere towards fulfilling the aims of the state as well as recognising it's ultimate authority, but without direct government interference. This is/was partly attempted through the establishment of state-funded...

    What can we learn from Fascism?

    For the record, in this thread when I type about Fascism, I'm referring to the Italian model from the 1920's, which is generally acknowledged to have created the basic template for a modern Fascist regime. Think trains, marshes and short bald men. ;) I'm not particulary concerned about National...

    *clears throat* (tiny announcement)

    Ooh, I hadn't thought about that. Tempted as I am to write under a pseudynom in order to include fiendish riddles within it, I suspect I'll just use my regular name. Thank you! I may well take you up on that offer. :) If I actually manage to get anywhere with this, youll be among the first...

    *clears throat* (tiny announcement)

    Y'all are wonderful! :o I can't tell you, or perhaps y'all, how amazingly amazing these responses have made me feel. I'm half tempted to pour champagne and orange juice down my modem in the hopes that some will reach, erm... Y'all. ('Tis the perfect breakfast drink) An excellent piece of...

    The Annual RF "Santa Is Evil" Thread!

    Actually, it's far more likely to signify the re-formation of the Communist bloc, and with it the emergence of a second cold war. Let's look at the evidence... Where do most of our toy's come from? China! What is China made of? Communism! What other country sounds suspiciously like China whilst...

    NordicBearSkin skis past 20K!!!!!

    Huzzles! :D *cackling^, Nordic wields the dark power of Fruballation* I'm in a make-up-words mood today, by tiggory! :) ^And apparantly that is how one spells it.

    *clears throat* (tiny announcement)

    Thank you for your kind words, and your advice. As a matter of fact, ever since I can remember I've always wanted to be a writer. When I was much smaller I even took to carrying around folders upon folders of ideas and drawings for various imaginary stories of mine. I earned a few colourful...

    *clears throat* (tiny announcement)

    After months upon months of dithering, dathering, and a good spot of lathering (bubble baths are fun :)), I've decided to finally get started on writing a story I've been playing around with for a while. I doubt it'll go anywhere further then my hard drive, but it should be fun none-the-less...

    A question of roles; or perhaps rolls...

    (I checked, 'tis the former) How should the state be defined, what roles should it fulfill and how should they be accomplished? In particular, should a particular morality have a place within the governance of a nationstate, and if so how should that morality be determined? As a wise old owl...

    "an open letter to taoists"

    Entering, grass retains grass, water ripples through, trees stripped, rain falls; A white bird flew, worn clothes worn around this snail, unmoved. Doggerel for doggerel. *smiles*

    Soy will make you gay?

    Bah; this was entirely the wrong thread to be a serious sausage in... :mad: (:D)

    Soy will make you gay?

    Perhaps I should have been a little clearer. By 'large quantities' I wasn't referring to, say, eating disorders or a diet containing naught but soya, but any diet that contains soya as a significant part of it. (Which would be more then first thought, given that roughly 60% of all processed food...
