[View from the Right] Reading list: All the Lives that I have read are good, but for some reason the life of Marcus Crassus (the member of the First Triumvirate who defeated the Spartacus slave rebellion) made the strongest impression. The spectacle of a successful, extremely weathy, powerful man, suddenly in middle age getting a brainstorm to win glory and empire and going off to Mesopotamia to fight the Persians and ending up defeated, humiliated, and dead.

He might change his point of view before such statements

[Listverse] Top 15 Greatest Epic History Movies - Listverse: All those in hotels must watch pay-per-view porn and masturbate and the fruits of thy masturbation are not wasted upon the hotel room floor but instead transformed into the juice which powers TRUE GOLF on TV, not the Tiger Woods Freak Show but pure WHITE MEN DOMINATING GOLF FOREVER, deny all the Harlem Globetrotters RACIST AGENDA and fight the evil motel pimps ever indulgent in eradicating your hotel stays in many places and what of the despicable terrorists trying to ruin you plane vacations to those hotels and it becomes plainly obvious that the TEMPLE OF GHOSTS is dedicated to destroying all hotels and turning the world into a vast haven of HAUNTED HOUSES FOR SICK GHOST CULT but what aligns against this atrocity is the sacred VISA/MASTERCARD ritual and make an SOLID DIAMOND PENDANT RENDERING ALL THAT IS UNHOLY AND UNSEEN INTO OBLIVION VIA THE HOTEL INDUSTRY!!!!!!

[Television Tropes & Idioms - Recent Changes] AI Is A Crapshoot - Television Tropes & Idioms: Sadly, modern cognitive science suggests that the impending robot apocalypse will be a fair bit less enetertaining than fiction has lead us to believe. It turns out that any cognitive system approaching human-like capabilities will almost certainly be emotional, prone to the same kinds of absent-minded mistakes that we are, and will even consider it inherently valuable to be like other people for its own sake.

[Listverse] 10 Most Decisive Ancient Battles - Listverse: Actium is definitely one of my favorite battles to read about, probably because I’ve always been so partial to the history of Cleopatra (and more importantly, to the musical representations of her and her life). I personally have always been more intrigued by her relationship with Julius Caesar more than Antony, despite the latter being the more famous and ‘romantic”

[EthioBlog] Ethiopia celebrates 112th anniversary of Battle of Adwa Victory: ETERNAL GLORY TO ATSE MENELIK AND HIS GREAT ARMY !!!All of you the TPLF thugs who insult the memory of this great emperor I would like to refresh your memory that the greatest generals and heroes of this battle are Dedatch GOBENA ,Dedatch BALTCHA and many others of Oromo origins along with those who paid great sacrifices.By the way it is Ras Mekenon who did liberate Mekele abandoned by your then governor Mengesha Seyum who escaped to Wello .Of course we pay great respect to Ras Allula Aba Nega who defeated Italian forces at DOGALY but your master Zenawi let the shabyan bandits destroy his memorial."..KENDEN ANDE ASAYECHECHAWALEW EMBI KALU DEGEME ASSAYACHEWALEW KEY BAHIR YE ETHIOPIA YETEFETERO DEMBER NEW !!!" as said this great HERO ,JEGNAW ALULA ABA NEGA !!!!

[In Defence of Marxism] Forty years since the death of Che Guevara - Part Two: In June, 1848, general Cavaignac had promised pardon, and he massacred the workers. The bourgeois Thiers had sworn by the law, and he gave the army carte-blanche to slaughter.

[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: Genre neuroses 101: In particular, I have to quibble with your statement, "This turning away from the near future is going to be remembered as one of the hallmarks of the post-9/11 decade in American science fiction, as the chill wind of change blows through the hitherto cosy drawing room of the American century." Life hasn't been particularly cozy at all here in America since the stock market crash of 1929, during which time we've had the Great Depression, World War II, a couple of brief years of post-war coziness, then the Cold War, Vietnam, riots in the cities, the recession of the 1970s, followed by the Reagan years. During the latter two decades, there was a widespread belief in America that we were in a decadent decline, and the Soviets had it together much more than we did, and they'd likely conquer us (see, for example, the movie Red Dawn, which actually is pretty entertaining).

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Suicidalism: Unless we borrow the logic of the above piece and say the KGB had a time machine and influenced the thought processes of “western suicidalists” of yore, Spartacus, the plebeians (or working people of Rome) formation of themselves into a people’s parliament (the Consilium Plebis), the Peasants Revolt, the Age of Enlightenment which provided a framework for the French Revolutions eh and the American revolution”¦.

[What Does The Prayer Really Say?] What Does The Prayer Really Say?»Blog Archive » PODCAzT 84: St ...: For example, since the 1500s the Holy See had moved time and time again to squash the slave trade in Catholic countries, but the Catholic rulers would ban the papal bull or encyclical and decree that it did not have legal force in their domains, and in the U.S. in the early 1800s we had bishops doing their own version of a 1968 rebellion against Humanae Vitae, audaciously claiming there were loopholes in the papal doctrine that made it okay for Catholics to own and sell slaves. Later on that century the U.S. bishops prepared the Baltimore Catechism to address the need to better educate Catholics in their faith, so generally they were doing a good job of teaching faithful Catholics what they needed to know, but even so the laity by and large weren’t reading encyclicals, as they weren’t expected or even necessarily encouraged to read them.

[Sean's Russia Blog] Reconcilable Contradictions: What I found interesting about the neo-nazism in Israel is not so much the racism and violence, but the fact that its existence opened up the question as to whether some Russians who came to Israel on the Law of Return and were given Israeli citizenship because they are categorized by Israeli law as Jews are now having their Jewishness questioned. Not only does this reveal how one’s ethnicity/race/nationality has no natural essence and is constituted by law and politics, but also, ironically in my view, the blood splinting that has occurred in trying to determine whether such and such Russian is or isn’t a Jew shares the very ideological foundation of Antisemitism.

[What Does The Prayer Really Say?] What Does The Prayer Really Say?»Blog Archive » M. Novak on ...: Obviously, comments on a blog post are not the place to try to develop a fully Catholic theological anthropology with respect to work, but I’m fairly confident that the Bible, the Fathers, and the Doctors all treat work as an important part of being human. Economic well-being that comes from work is a good thing.
