You could do 10 seasons just on the violence, deaths and negative impact which all religions have had on the world.
And that is probably only the tip of the "known" iceberg.

You have not heard of Kate Bush! how can this be? She is one of the UKs best recording artists and a fine looking woman.

Check out the Western Music Thread and you'll see why.


My wife used to tell me to go on Jeopardy.  I'd point out that I could run the category in 14th Century Renaissance History and then not have a fucking clue what the #1 song was for the prior year.

I've noted a new series on the BBC called "Napoleon."  I saw episode #1 and it was quite good.

Whoa, missed this thread. So Min, how old were you when you lost count?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
