Classical, especially music of the romantic period, choral music, and irish music, not the new aged stuff, but rather the folk songs, like danny boy and the scottish soldier, and joaquin rodrigo and manuel de falla.
Since we are talking about mass murderers, why doesn't anyone mention the English. They have had so many mass murderers in power, but no one says anything about them b/c we are a country founded by English settlers. However, they had murdered and raped the Irish in Munster Leinster, and...
If your principles are truly important, if you are a person of true integrity, you will act upon your principles first, even at the risk of death or imprisonment. THose are not ways out of acting immorally. I know that it would be difficult to make the decision of "should i compromise my...
The greek heroes wind up all screwed up not because of the war, but because during or after the war, they each violated codes of conduct that the Gods held sacred. Agememmnon sacrificed his own daughter (not electra, the other one whose name escapes me) before the war so they can get off of...
Privateer was a great game, man i loved taht game, privateer 2 however, what the hell was that? I was annoyed when i spent all that cash on htat game. It was frickin stupid. THey shouldn't have left the wing commander universe. I played that game just so i could see Christopher walken, but...
Also, the greek warriors were fighting to uphold an oath to protect Helen (b/c they were all former suitors), and upholding an oath wasn't pointless, especially in their culture. It was something that you would give your life for without question, after all Zeus was the god of oaths, and to...
Homer does glorify war. Read Diomedes Arestia, book 5. THat shows true heroism in combat. IT also glorifies the struggle to retrieve Patroclus' body through great heroic acts of violence. It may seem that war isn't as glorious from the Trojan perspective but that's natural, they were going...
Ye shall love peace as a new means to war, and love a short peace more than a long one.
And what is wrong with glorifying war? Much of the worlds greatest works of literature glorfy war. WHo can equal HOmer or Vergil? They both glorify war. These are two of mankinds greatest writers, adn...
Communism is a bad idea because it tries to make everyone equal. ALthough we all may be born with equal rights, that does not mean that we are equal. Some are better than others. Communism tries to demonize those who are better. It must bring the higher man down to the level of the masses...
For you people who are skirting around whether or not we were justified in dropping the bomb on Japan, we were. IT was kill 150000 people or a couple million US soldiers, not to mention the Japanese women and children who were drafted into the Japanese "homeland defence."
And aren't the...

BUt the communist party? Down to communism and all it represents. It failed and it failed because it is a horrid idea.
I am a huge history buff. I was wondering, do any of you see any resemblence (sp?) between the kilrathi and rome? In WC3 they do say something about "all roads leading to Kilrah." when discussing how to defeat the Kilrathi.
My main hobby is reading. Science and philosophy mostly. By science, i mean physics. By philosophy i mean political philosophy for the most part but i do like some others, which is evident by the name i picked...
My Passion
My passions are human liberty. What are our rights, why they are our rights, and how the purpose of the government in relation to our rights.
By the way, for you history buffs, do you see any resembalence (sp?) between the Kilrathi and Rome?
