If I'm being honest I simply don't "get" the Vegan thing. I can fully understand why someone would choose to be a vegetarian, but vegan is just...
I agree. For some classical pieces reading music and knowing theory come in very handy. However, it's not imperative. As a Jazz guy myself, I...
Guitar here too...a little fiddle and mandolin thrown in for good measure. I'm a Jazz guitarist; but primarily play Avant-Garde, Free Form, Gypsy...
Actually association football (soccer) had the chance to become the biggest sport in the United States at one point. It was actually played by...
I grew up and spent significant amounts of my life in both the middle of America (bible belt, prairie, small town American football loving people)...
That's correct to a point. When Constantine created the Council of Nicea he didn't really intervene in what the bishops were allowing in the...
I don't see the noted "truths of white nationalism" in the original post as anything outlandishly ridiculous. Taken purely for what they are,...
I grew up Christian and remained so until I was about 22 or 23 years old (I'm 31 now). I distinctly remember walking to church by myself, from a...
Never had this problem in school either. One reason was because everyone knew who my dad was...we'll just say he's not exactly the type of guy...
I apparently just don't understand the outrage here. First, if it's live feed there's not much one can do about it, and I'm sure Fox News will...
I'm not sure what exactly California has enacted on a state level for ADA laws, but the restaurant owner should have fought it. I do ADA...
Sometimes you just have to laugh. Cancer rates in America (and in other places the world over) can be attributed to multiple factors, and...

Shabazz and most of these "new" black panthers are idiots of the highest order. However, those people attenuating the claim that this somehow...

Believing polls reflect true voter numbers at this so-called effectively "early" stage in the race is just not reliable. Personally, I think...
Is WanRen just trolling? It's like he's having a two way agreeable conversation with himself, and not paying even the slightest bit of attention...
I majored in History with a few minors thrown in. I don't really use the degree other than just "having a degree" for certain job positions, and...
Excellent point! I would be more than curious to know what the original Hebrew texts said, as the examples I listed come from the English...
Just going with the Bible alone, I'm pretty sure Adam and Eve were not the first humans. If we take into account that the first couple chapters...
I agree. It had more to do with marketing and propaganda than anything else, but the original intent behind the pledge was as a rallying cry for...
Agreed...just as most Nazi symbolism has ancient roots. The point was to show that there was a modern pre-Nazi equivalent of that salute in the...
Separate names with a comma.
