...I find that I have nothing to say anymore. Funny how that works, considering how I think I had an opinion in everything in FYM once upon a time...hah. Oh well. I do have to say that once you move out of the U.S.--even if you're still quite literally next door and go shopping down there...

Not sure how many of you here will know who Nujabes is, but I really enjoyed his music, and I'm sorry to see him go. YouTube - Shing02 - Luv (sic) pt.2 Jun Seba aka Nujabes, Rest In Peace

In this rather dissatisfying political climate (and I'll be the first to admit that my disgust for the two U.S. political parties also extends to a disdain for the three/four [or so] political parties in Canada), there's been plenty of reference to the time of George Washington. But perhaps a...

A well-written article in this month's "The Atlantic" that echoes a lot of my thoughts about the "gloom and doom" being exaggerated, and I was surprised to see that it also echoes my thoughts regarding it being more the failure of government, instead of a foreign crisis. I strongly suggest...

Going south: militaristic, corrupt America increasingly resembles a Third World state. - Free Online Library Thoughts?

Will Iran's 'Marriage Crisis' Bring Down Ahmadinejad? - TIME Here's a country where "the gays" can't be blamed for marriage woes (after all, they execute theirs), and, yet, although we're dealing with some different culture issues here, I'd argue that similar woes are what's really afflicting...

Matt Smith becomes new Doctor in BBC show | Media | The Observer I'm starting to think that the Doctor has the same backwards-aging ailment that Benjamin Button has.

Priest: No communion for Obama voters - Faith I bring this up for a couple of historical reasons: 1) There's a particularly notable example, in the 19th century I believe, of there being a popular Italian political party being drained of complete support after the Vatican told faithful...

Maybe somebody has brought this up before, but I'd like to suggest that non-premiums be able to read/view attachments posted by Premium Members. Considering how many people there are in this forum who aren't premium, the function is pretty useless for those Premium Members who want to attach...

It's probably a bit weird for me that I'm writing a send off to an actress from the "Golden Age of Hollywood." But it's even weirder that I've thought she's been dead on and off for probably 10-15 years now, and then I'd wonder and discover that she was still alive. Well, this time, when I...

The Political Compass - Test I'll be honest. I hate the way the questions are worded, as I think that they are manipulative and lacking in nuance, and they are probably only worthy of a push poll, rather than a serious survey. Nonetheless, I think it is a bit interesting to see how/if...

I think. Nice new forum. ;)

It never ceases to amaze me what disgusting venom people will say, just to avoid admitting that their ideology and beliefs are wrong.

Plato's Republic postulates that an orderly society can only be maintained through a series of "noble lies." Plato describes an example of this through a fictional, stratified society, where it is believed that there are different types of metal put into the inhabitants' blood by the gods. 1)...

...well, I don't know what I am. Not that I'm one to want to join a bandwagon, but, at the very least, I think some of you might be confounded by some of what I've written here lately in regards to politics, so I'll be happy to clarify my positions to anyone who would like to ask. Or feel free...

It's an honest question, and since many FYMers are into him, I'd be interested in an honest answer. There are some conditions here, though. Your answer must not include: 1) Any mention of Bush or any other of the Republican or Democratic politician. 2) Any...

I should point out that I, increasingly, find myself not caring about Iraq, one way or another. Perhaps that is a rather unconventional, but when I read articles like below, I ask myself why I should? Increasingly, I find myself understanding why Israel looks at the Muslim world with a...

...even if I find that it is reasonable and well-thought out. In this case, I need a new computer--and one that can reasonably handle some high-demand processes like HD video editing, motion graphics/3D creation, and, yes, some gaming. For a while, I debated whether to get a Mac Pro or not...
