The phrase "supply and demand" was first used by James Denham-Steuart in his Inquiry into the Principles of Political Economy, published in 1767. Adam Smith used the phrase in his 1776 book The Wealth of Nations.

ellauri028.html on line 183: This was Twain's most serious, philosophical and private book. He kept it locked in his desk, considered it to be his Bible, and spoke of it as such to friends when he read them passages. He had written it, rewritten it, was finally satisfied with it, but still chose not to release it until after his death. It appears in the form of a dialogue between an old man and a young man who discuss who and what mankind really is and provides a new and different way of looking at who we are and the way we live. Anyone who thinks Twain was not a brilliant philosopher should read this book. We consider ourselves as free and autonomous people, yet this book puts forth the ideas that 1) We are nothing more than machines and originate nothing - not even a single thought; 2) All conduct arises from one motive - self-satisfaction; 3) Our temperament is completely permanent and unchangeable; and 4) Man is of course a product of heredity, and our future, being fixed, is irrevocable -- which makes life completely predetermined. If these points are true, then buying and reading this book is not in your control, but simply must be done because it was meant to be. If these points are not true you might still wish to make an independent decision to enjoy a thought-provoking book by a great and legendary writer.

ellauri032.html on line 239: Was T.S. Eliot gay? Questions about Eliot´s sexuality have simmered in Eliot studies for decades, coming to a full boil with the recent publication of Carole Seymour-Jones's biography of Eliot's first wife, Vivienne, which claims that the poet was a closet homosexual. Distinguished critics such as Helen Vendler and Louis Menand have rushed to Eliot´s defense, insisting either that he wasn't gay or that we shouldn't even be discussing his sexuality.

ellauri048.html on line 1110: Hallam and Tennyson became friends in April 1829. They both entered the Chancellor's Prize Poem Competition (which Tennyson won). Both joined the Cambridge Apostles (a "private debating society"), which met every Saturday night during term to discuss, over coffee and sardines on toast (“whales”), serious questions of religion, literature and society. (Hallam read a paper on 'whether the poems of Shelley have an immoral tendency'; Tennyson was to speak on 'Ghosts', but was, according to his son's Memoir, 'too shy to deliver it' - only the Preface to the essay survives). Meetings of the Apostles were not always so intimidating: Desmond MacCarthy gave an account of Hallam and Tennyson at one meeting lying on the ground together in order to laugh less painfully, when James Spedding imitated the sun going behind a cloud and coming out again. Capital, capital.

This has led to much discussion among critics as to why Bellow warned his readers against searching for symbolism just before the symbol-packed Rain King hit the shelves. Because there ain't any, its just Solomon's idea of fun and fact. The ongoing philosophical discussions and ramblings between Henderson and the natives, and inside Henderson's own head, prefigure elements of Bellow's next novel Herzog, which includes many such inquiries into life and meaning. And which is an even worse piece of narcissisim than this one.

Elizabeth, however, was convinced that the phenomena she witnessed were genuine, and her discussions about Home with her husband were a constant source of disagreement.

ellauri065.html on line 528: The meme was born in late 2008 when an administrator of the Finnish gaming forum Jonneweb posted several links redirecting to the Finnish imageboard Kuvalauta. Due to Jonneweb´s reputation as an online hub for (pre)teenagers, some members of Kuvalauta became concerned that the imageboard would be overrun with unoriginal content by an influx of newcomers, a phenomenon commonly known as "newfaggotry" on the English-speaking web. The Jonneweb administrator referred to Kuvalauta as a "forum where you discuss about fish and bears" and thus the world-wide Pedo bear meme was considered to be posted particularly by Jonneweb users. The combination of pre-teenager Jonnes and the Pedo bear meme took a great evolution in 2009 when the users of Kuvalauta started to post ironically as Jonnes by capsing the text, representing as underage school kids and adding typoes on text. On December 6th, 2009, a thread with poorly drawn versions of Pedobear was posted onto Kuvalauta.

ellauri072.html on line 206: What has gone mainly unnoticed in the various discussions of the problem is something that has puzzled me for some time. Why does Dante treat the homosexual Florentines in Inf. 16 with greater respect than any other infernal figures except those in Limbo? I do not have an answer to that question, but would like to bring it forward. Let me begin with Purg. 26. We have probably not been surprised enough at Dante's insistence that roughly half of those who sinned in lust, repented, and were saved (and are now on their way to that salvation) were homosexual. It would have been easy for him to have left the homosexuals out of Purgatory, and it is hard to imagine an early (or a later) commentator who would have objected to the omission, especially since, in Hell, homosexuality is treated, not as a sin of the flesh, but as one of violence against nature. However, for a unique instance of a commentator who is aware of Dante's unusual gesture see Trifon Gabriele on Inf. 15.46: "Non e' dubbio che 'l Poeta vuol applaudere a questo vitio quanto egli puo'. Puopa hyvinkin. Ecco, gli fa parlare di belle cose e gli fa tutti grand'uomini nelle lettere e nell'arme e nella religione, e finalmente non e' peccato ne l'Inferno o Purgatorio che egli men danni con le parole sue che questo; anzi lo polisce quanto puo' con suoi versi".

The Letter of 5000 (Russian: Письмо‌ 5000), also known as the Letter of only 500 or the Letter of just 19 Deputies (Russian: Письмо 19 депутатов), was an open letter signed by 5,000 Russians, most significantly politicians, aimed at the Prosecutor-General of Russia. The Letter of 5,000 included sharp criticisms of Jews, Jewish leaders, and Jewish organisations, as well as calling for the investigation of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch as a violation of the Criminal Code of Russia. The letter, published on 21 March 2005, attracted significant discussion in Russian and international media due to its demands, which were widely considered to be antisemitic.

ellauri080.html on line 520: A good example of this mentality can be found in the theories of Michel Foucault, who himself describes society as a series of power structure grids you can lay on top of the truth in order to reveal some things but conceal others, and our goal essentially should be to experiment with various power grids to discover the true limits or bounds of how human society can successfully be structured. Another example could be Martin Heidegger’s discussion of Being or existence, and how many different perspectives are required to observe it and get a full picture, because of our extremely subjective position in relation to the nature of our own existence, not to mention existence within the ever shifting realm of time.

But reading this book just took me back to my many discussions with her about her work. And I just had a sense of awe that a woman, who, when she wrote this, was 78, 79 years old. And she knew she was dying. She was ill with cancer and she knew that she would be ending her life soon. But she sat down and, with a pen, wrote out over 300 pages.

But the theory, by which I have defined Metaphysical Ethics, is not that Metaphysics has a logical bearing upon the question involved in practical Ethics "What effects will my action produce?", but that it has such a bearing upon the fundamental ethical question, "What is good in itself?" This theory has been refuted by the proof, in Chap. I, that the naturalistic fallacy is a fallacy; it only remains to discuss certain confusions which seem to have lent it plausibility. …

It follows that to decide whether a disposition is or is not "virtuous" involves the difficult causal investigation discussed in section (3); and that what is a virtue in one state of society may not be so in another. …
ellauri092.html on line 245: Most Baptists subscribe to two ordinances of the local church; baptism (as discussed earlier) and the Lord’s Supper. Baptists reject that either of these ordinances are salvific and most subscribe to a symbolic view of both. Baptism is symbolic of the work of Christ in a person’s heart and a profession of faith by the one being baptized, and the Lord’s Supper is symbolic of the atoning work of Jesus Christ and taken as a way to remember the work of Christ.
ellauri095.html on line 109: The word itself alludes to Plato's Symposium, a discussion on Eros (love). In this dialog, Pausanias distinguishes between two types of love, symbolised by two different accounts of the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In one, she was born of Uranus (the heavens), a birth in which "the female has no part". This Uranian Aphrodite is associated with a noble love for male youths, and is the source of Ulrichs's term Urning. Another account has Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and Dione, and this Aphrodite is associated with a common love which "is apt to be of women as well as of youths, and is of the body rather than of the soul". After Dione, Ulrichs gave the name Dioning to men who are sexually attracted to women. However, unlike Plato's account of male love, Ulrichs understood male Urnings to be essentially feminine, and male Dionings to be masculine in nature.
ellauri095.html on line 510: This potential for a new sacramental poetry was first realized by Hopkins in The Wreck of the Deutschland. Hopkins recalled that when he read about the wreck of the German ship Deutschland off the coast of England it “made a deep impression on me, more than any other wreck or accident I ever read of,” a statement made all the more impressive when we consider the number of shipwrecks he must have discussed with his father. Hopkins wrote about this particular disaster at the suggestion of Fr. James Jones, Rector of St. Beuno’s College, where Hopkins studied theology from 1874 to 1877. Hopkins recalled that “What I had written I burnt before I became a Jesuit and resolved to write no more, as not belonging to my profession, unless it were by the wish of my superiors; so for seven years I wrote nothing but two or three little presentation pieces which occasion called for [presumably ‘Rosa Mystica’ and ‘Ad Mariam’]. But when in the winter of ’75 the Deutschland was wrecked in the mouth of the Thames and five Franciscan nuns, exiles from Germany by the Falck Laws, aboard of her were drowned I was affected by the account and happening to say so to my rector he said that he wished someone would write a poem on the subject. On this hint I set to work and, though my hand was out at first, produced one. I had long had haunting my ear the echo of a new rhythm which now I realized on paper.”
ellauri096.html on line 67: In response to the apparent conflict between freedom and foreknowledge, medieval philosophers denied that future contingent propositions have a truth-value. That´s silly. They took themselves to be extending a solution Aristotle discusses in De Interpretatione to the problem of logical fatalism. According to this truth-value gap approach, ‘You will take a dump tomorrow’ is not true now. The prediction will become true tomorrow. A morally serious theist can agree with the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
ellauri096.html on line 784: The word akrasia occurs twice in the Koine Greek New Testament. In Matthew 23:25 Jesus uses it to describe hypocritical religious leaders, translated "self-indulgence" in several translations, including the English Standard version. Paul the Apostle also gives the threat of temptation through akrasia as a reason for a husband and wife to not deprive each other of sex (1 Corinthians 7:5). In another passage (Rom. 7:15–25) Paul, without actually using the term akrasia, seems to reference the same psychological phenomenon in discussing the internal conflict between, on the one hand, "the law of God," which he equates with "the law of my mind"; and "another law in my members," identified with "the flesh, the law of sin." "For the good that I would do, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do." (v.19)

ellauri100.html on line 159: Based on a detailed study of frontal, dorsal and lateral photographs of 4000 male subjects of college age, a 3 dimensional scheme for describing human physique is formulated. Kretschmer´s constitutional typology is discarded in favor of one based on 3 first order variables or components, endomorphy, mesomorphy, and ectomorphy, each of which is found in an individual physique and indicated by one of a set of 3 numerals designating a somatotype or patterning of these morphological components. Seventy-six different somatotypes are described and illustrated. These somatotypical designations are objectively assigned on the basis of the use of 18 anthropometric indices. Second-order variables also isolated and studied are dysplasia, gynandromorphy, texture and hirsutism. Historical trends in constitutional research are summarized. A detailed description is given of the development of the somatotyping technique combining anthroposcopic and anthropometric methods. Reference is made to somatotyping with the aid of a specially devised machine. Topics discussed include: the choice of variables, morphological scales, a geometrical representation of somatotypes, the independence of components, correlational data, the problem of norms, the modifiability of a somatotype, hereditary and endocrine influences and the relation of constitution to temperament, mental disease, clinical studies, crime and delinquency, and the differential education of children. Descriptive sketches of variants of the ectomorphic components are given. Appendices list tables for somatotyping and a series of drawings of 9 female somatotypes. An annotated bibliography is followed by a more general one. 272 photographs and drawings illustrate the somatotypes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
ellauri101.html on line 42: Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's best-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.

On the ship during his return trip he encountered the messiah elect of the Theosophical Society, Jiddu Krishnamurti; they discussed Indian philosophy, sparking in Campbell an interest in Hindu and Indian thought. In 1927, he received a fellowship from Columbia University to study in Europe. Campbell studied Old French, Provençal, and Sanskrit at the University of Paris and the University of Munich. He learned to read and speak French and German.

He always seemed to have these young blond boys around. It just wasn't discussed. He was interested in power and access." Stone worked with Cohn beginning with the Reagan campaign during the 1976 Republican Party presidential primaries.

ellauri108.html on line 147: One of the central activities at groundings is "reasoning". This is a discussion among assembled Rastas about the religion's principles and their relevance to current events. These discussions are supposed to be non-combative, although attendees can point out the fallacies in any arguments presented. Those assembled inform each other about the revelations that they have received through meditation and dream. Each contributor is supposed to push the boundaries of understanding until the entire group has gained greater insight into the topic under discussion. In meeting together with like-minded individuals, reasoning helps Rastas to reassure one another of the correctness of their beliefs. Rastafari meetings are opened and closed with prayers. These involve supplication of God, the supplication for the hungry, sick, and infants, and calls for the destruction of the Rastas' enemies, and then close with statements of adoration.

Despite what I have just said about fiction, it is my wish that the eventual book will present an interpretation of Dostoevsky’s thought discussed that is fully defensible with regard to the available sources and I welcome any comments drawing attention to actual errors or significant misrepresentations. In this way, the blog itself will, I hope, set in motion a kind of conversation, alongside all the other amazing conversations about Dostoevsky that are happening in reality, in print, and online. This is work in progress and I hope not only to entertain and instruct but also to learn.
ellauri110.html on line 1106: In an age before psychology was a modern scientific field, Fyodor Dostoyevsky (November 11, 1821 – February 9, 1881) was a Russian writer of realist fiction and essays that explored the depths of the human psyche. Known for acclaimed novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoyevsky´s work discusses the human mind in a world full of political and social upheaval in 19th century Russia, becoming the forerunner of existentialism.
ellauri111.html on line 110: The Apocrypha is a collection of uninspired, spurious books written by various individuals. The Catholic religion considers these books as scripture just like a Bible-believer believes that the 66 books in the Authorized Version of 1611 of the Bible are the word of God, i.e., Genesis to Revelation. We are going to examine some verses from the Apocrypha later in our discussion.

Satan just waits for the conditions to be right. Some people go insane, check into mental hospitals over and over again, experience personality changes, cannot function as before, commit suicide, etc. Kundalini awakening (a counsel for leaving it behind) is discussed further in our series, "Contemplative Prayer: A Quick Road to Hell for A Disobedient Church."
ellauri112.html on line 728: The film’s strength – for its first two thirds – is the relationship between the two women at the heart of the narrative. We learn through a clumsy coincidence at the beginning of the film that Marlo is bisexual; as her intimacy with Tully expands to fill the vacuum of her absentee marriage, it becomes a tender eroticism. This is mediated, always, through other bodies: as Tully cradles the baby who has just finished feeding, she talks about how the ‘molecules’ of the child still exist within the mother; later, in a bar toilet, she gently wets a paper towel and uses it to draw the milk out of Marlo’s swollen breasts. In a pivotal scene, Marlo sits behind Tully and instructs her on what to do to arouse her sleep-befuddled husband. This moment can be read as emblematic of the film’s mistreatment of the queer intimacy it establishes. Coming after a discussion of sexual history and sexual fantasy, Marlo reveals to Tully that she has a waitress’s uniform that she’s never used, bought to surprise her husband. As Tully puts the outfit on, which fits her pre-natal body in a way it wouldn’t Marlo, the moment of sexual possibility between the women is subsumed into heteronormative, ageist fantasy: Tully’s young, and therefore fantasy-appropriate, body is used as bait to ‘recharge’ the masculine battery.
ellauri112.html on line 898: Persistently, honorable men are engaged in a discussion as to what should be the contents of the communion cup. Should the cup contain wine, the fermented juice of grapes? Or should it be unfermented grape juice? Does it matter? What difference does it make, if any? Should church leaders accommodate both Christians who want to use wine, as well as those who prefer unfermented grape juice, by offering what is sometimes called a “split cup” or a “split tray”? In other words, what should be the second “element,” or the contents of the communion cup? Can grape juice change to real blood and no fucking tomato juice? How should such questions—controversial as they are—be answered?
ellauri112.html on line 904: Second, we will devote two pages to the Bible passages that concern the cup in the Lord’s Supper. One page will consider the passages in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. On this page, we will study Jesus’s words, “the fruit of the vine,” in their original context, and we will also learn how these words were used in the Passover meal before and during the time Jesus spoke them. The other page will consider the two relevant passages in I Corinthians, and what they teach us about the contents of the cup. Rather than grow our discussion beyond all bounds, we will limit ourselves to what the Bible says about the contents of the communion cup.
ellauri115.html on line 414: Hume's eyes were on France, in particular, and his reputation as the good David. His first denunciations of Rousseau were made to his friends in Paris; his Concise and Genuine Account of the Dispute between Mr. Hume and Mr. Rousseau would be published there in French, edited by Rousseau's enemies. He studiously avoided communicating with Mme de Boufflers, knowing she would, as she did, urge "generous pity". Hume's descriptions of Rousseau as ferocious, villainous and treacherous ensured joyful coverage in newspapers and discussions in fashionable drawing rooms, clubs and coffee houses. The actor-manager David Garrick wrote to a friend on July 18 that Rousseau had called Hume "noir, black, and a coquin, knave".

ellauri119.html on line 428: Scientific research on emotion has increased significantly over the past two decades. The color wheel theory of love defines three primary, three secondary and nine tertiary love styles, describing them in terms of the traditional color wheel. The triangular theory of love suggests "intimacy, passion and commitment" are core components of love. Love has additional religious or spiritual meaning. This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states. Abstractly discussed, love usually refers to an experience one person feels for another. Love often involves caring for, or identifying with, a person or thing (cf. vulnerability and care theory of love), including oneself (cf. narcissism). Tulihan se sieltä!

ellauri119.html on line 637: She started writing her best-known novel, "The Fountainhead" in 1935, and would be published after multiple publisher rejections, in 1943. Ayn would go on to write a screenplay based on the novel, and then work on one of her other well-known novels, "Atlas Shrugged", which focused largely on her version of Objectivism, and would be published in 1957. She would spend her life discussing, lecturing, and writing about her philosophy.

Sitting at a local restaurant, Ronnie´s Restauarant - which no longer exists, with a group of friends and her, we had a discussion about Ayn and I made a gesture that clearly expressed a thought and asked her what the words were for that. She suddenly realized the flaw in Ayn´s argument and was speechless.

His father, born in North Carolina, came from a Quaker background, and his mother is Jewish but not religious. He was raised by his mother following his parents' divorce when he was aged two. Harris has stated that his upbringing was entirely secular and that his parents rarely discussed religion, though he also stated that he was not raised as an atheist.

Moreover, no writer of such stature had led such an interesting life, a life accessibly interesting to us as readers of his autobiographical writings, his journal, his voluminous correspondence and the testimony of others. It was the life of a man engaging not only in the business of artistic creation, but reflecting on that process in his journal, reading that work to his friends and discussing it with them; a man who knew and corresponded with all the major literary figures of his own country and with many in Germany and England; who found daily nourishment in the Latin, French, English and German classics, and, for much of his life, in the Bible; [who enjoyed playing Chopin and other classic works on the piano;] and who engaged in commenting on the moral, political and sexual questions of the day. Monsters lead an interesting li-i-fe.

ellauri152.html on line 591: In the story, Avigdor just trembles and sits down, and Yentl calmly explains. He then asks what she is going to do now, and she says she will go to a different yeshiva and start over. Avigdor half says they could get married, but doesn’t finish the sentence. Yentl rebuffs him, saying it wouldn’t be good, and explains, “I’m neither one nor the other.” She tells him to go back to Badass instead. Avigdor has strange feelings, trying to reconcile who Anshel is, who Yentl is. But they spend the night in companionable debate, discussing Yentl’s marriage to Badass and whether she legally needs to divorce her, as well as why Yentl crossdressed. Avigdor brings up marriage again, but Yentl refuses even stronger.

"There were three reviews of it, commending it condescendingly. Scarcely more than one hundred copies were sold, the rest was remaindered and, a few years later, pulped."[1] Among the reasons for the cold reception of this original version are that it lacked the author´s later authoritative style and appeared decidedly unclear in its implications. A copy was sent to Goethe who responded by inviting the author to his home on a regular basis, ostensibly to discuss philosophy but in reality to recruit the young philosopher into work on his Theory of Colors.
ellauri155.html on line 731: In the Treatise, as was noted earlier, Hume argues that one of the reasons “why the doctrine of liberty [of indifference] has generally been better receiv’d in the world, than its antagonist [the doctrine of necessity], proceeds from religion, which has been very unnecessarily interested in this question” (T 2.3.2.3/409). He goes on to argue “that the doctrine of necessity, according to my explication of it, is not only innocent, but even advantageous to religion and morality”. In the final passages of the Enquiry discussion of liberty and necessity (EU 8.32–6/99–103) – passages which do not appear in the original Treatise discussion – Hume makes it plain exactly how his necessitarian principles have “dangerous consequences for religion”.
ellauri156.html on line 580: It is characteristic of the rabbinical view of the Bible narratives that Abner, the warrior pure and simple, is styled "Lion King of the Law" (Yer. Peah, l.c.), and that even a specimen is given of a halakic discussion between him and Dog as to whether the law in Deut. xxiii. 3 excluded Ammonite and Moabite women from the Jewish community as well as men. Dog was of the opinion that David, being descended from the Moabitess Ruth, was not fit to wear the crown, nor even to be considered a true Israelite; while Abner maintained that the law affected only the male line of descent. When Dog's dialectics proved more than a match for those of Abner, the latter went to the prophet Samuel, who not only supported Abner in his view, but utterly refuted Dog's assertions (Midr. Sam. xxii.; Yeb. 76b et seq.).

ellauri162.html on line 826: The concept of a highly conserved ontogeny dates back to 1828 and the work by Karl von Baer. Baer´s work was cited by Charles Darwin and used in support of his Theory of Evolution. The concept was made famous though by Ernst Haeckel in 1874 with the publication of his drawings of the conserved stage. Haeckel was mainly pushing the concept of recapitulation in which he hypothesized that ontological development repeated the evolutionary steps of the organism. Recapitulation has since been discredited and is not accepted by any modern biologist. Haeckel has been accused of falsifying his embryonic drawings, most notably by Jonathan Wells in his book Icons of Evolution. Some biology text books used Haeckel´s drawings for many years after it was known they were faked. However, most modern biology textbooks only use them now for historical reference and actual photos of embryos are used to discuss the pharyngula stage.

Accordingly, the indications for surgery have surfaced, submerged and altered with the trends of the day.

ellauri190.html on line 277: By 1659, the two outstanding sons of Ukraine, a Kozak general Ivan Vyhovsky and an eccentric scholar-nobleman Yuriy Nemyrych conceived what became known as the Union of Hadyach. It was a unique document, which, essentially, argued in favor of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth transforming into the commonwealth of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Vyhovsky and Nemyrych proposed to establish a Great Principality of Ukraine on par with the Kingdom of Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania. And it was a unique historical moment, because in July 1659 the Ukrainian troops won a huge battle against the Muscovite army near the city of Konotop, totally crushing the Muscovites and proving that Ukraine did not need the “friendship” of the tyrannic Tzars. (See the analogy?) If the Hadyach Union had been approved by the Sejm of the Republic, Ukraine would perhaps have become a more European country and would progressively move toward full Western style independence. Again, tragically, it did not happen. Nemyrych was killed at a duel, and Vyhovsky forced to resign by populists who hated him because of his aristocratic blood and his alleged (rather than actual) love of things Polish. Without these two luminaries, the Sejm did not even bother to convene for discussions on the Hadyach Union, making it into a useless piece of paper. It was later “adopted,” but in such a distorted version that it excluded its main point, the creation of the Ukrainian state. Sellasta se on.

The gold digger stereotype was also deployed in public discussions about "heartbalm" legislation during the 1930s, particularly breach of promise cases.

ellauri198.html on line 755: Ei vaan Browning imuskelee kolleegansa Shellyn schollya, Harold täsmentää. The consensus among critics has long been that in his youth Browning had a great enthusiasm for Shelley, an enthusiasm clearly apparent in Pauline and Paracelsus, but abruptly extinguished in Sordello. Generally speaking, it would seem that Browning's ardent enthusiasm for Shelley the poet ends with Sordello in 1840, just as his respect for Shelley the man ends in 1856, with the discovery that he had abandoned his first wife. Any evidence for a lapse of his disaffection in later life seems effectively countered by Browning's own testimony in a letter written in 1885 to F. J. Furnivall, refusing the presidency of the newly formed Shelley Society: “For myself, I painfully contrast my notions of Shelley the man and Shelley, well, even the poet, with what they were sixty years ago, when I only had his works, for a certainty, and took his character on trust.” With these highlights of the relationship, most Browning critics and biographers terminate the discussion.

ellauri210.html on line 380: At the height of his fame and success, while The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) was still being performed in London, Wilde prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. The libel trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with men. After two more trials he was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labour, the maximum penalty, and was jailed from 1895 to 1897. During his last year in prison, he wrote De Profundis (published posthumously in 1905), a long letter which discusses his spiritual journey through his trials, forming a dark counterpoint to his earlier philosophy of pleasure. On his release, he left immediately for France, and never returned to Ireland or Britain. There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), a long poem commemorating the harsh rhythms of prison life. What an opportunity for a man of his caliber, one would have thought.
ellauri210.html on line 1317: The narrator, randomly named André, ruminates on a number of Surrealist principles, before ultimately commencing (around a third of the way through the novel) on a narrative account, generally linear, of his brief ten-day affair with the titular character Nadja. She is so named “because in Russian it's the beginning of the word hope, and because it's only the beginning,” but her name might also evoke the Spanish "Nadie," which means "No one." The narrator becomes obsessed with this woman with whom he, upon a chance encounter while walking through the street, strikes up conversation immediately. He becomes reliant on daily rendezvous, occasionally culminating in romance (a kiss here and there). His true fascination with Nadja, however, is her vision of the world, which is often provoked through a discussion of the work of a number of Surrealist artists, including himself. While her understanding of existence subverts the rigidly authoritarian quotidian, it is later discovered that she is mad and belongs in a sanitarium. After Nadja reveals too many details of her past life, she in a sense becomes demystified, and the narrator realizes that he cannot continue their relationship.

Rainbows are supported by a group of highly trained, inspirational leaders who explore the girls, challenge themselves and have fun.
ellauri213.html on line 335: In theory, San Francisco State University President Lynn Mahoney is correct in stating that a university is a place where different ideas are presented, discussed and analyzed so that individual conclusions can be drawn. But does that justify giving an unrepentant terrorist a forum to address the students? What will she teach them? The proper way to hijack an aircraft, based on her success in 1969, and what mistakes to avoid based on her failure in 1970? When I was a student in university, I often faced new ideas that ran contrary to my beliefs. But these perspectives were presented by knowledgeable, respectable academics. Some were Nobel Prize winners. None were terrorists. Most of them were Jews.

Kerouac on Buckley’s Firing Line show in 1968 discussing the Hippie phenomenon was virtually unrecognizable and far from resembling his iconic image. Kerouac was drunk — speech slurring, eyeballs rolling back, sweating, overweight. Only 46 years old, and smashed, he looked at least 20 years older. It was an embarrassing performance, despite certain touching moments that emerged between Jack’s slurred lines, such as him telling Buckley and the audience (Russell Kirk-like) that he believed in “order, tenderness, and piety.” (Kerouac also told Buckley of his support for Republicans: “My father and my mother and my sister and I have always voted Republican. Always.”) He died only a year later, violently hemorrhaging his liver from the alcoholism eating up his insides. He succumbed at age 47, as what one source described as an “alcoholic recluse.” It was a tragic end.
ellauri219.html on line 599: Pope Benedict’s basic answer is that, although modern principles of political freedom, democracy, equality, and reasonable argument are to be affirmed, a free state rests on “pre-political moral foundations,” which serve as normative points of reference for every regime and must be held in common by all religions and secular world-views. This answer reflects the fact that Pope Benedict disagrees with Rawls on at least two fundamental issues, which constitute the core of the debate between them and to which I shall refer regularly in the course of my analysis. In the first place, Pope Benedict does not share Rawls’s trust in fundamental human reasonableness as a guarantee for political fairness. For Rawls, persons are reasonable when they are ready to propose principles and standards as fair terms of cooperation and to abide by them willingly, given the assurance that others will likewise do so. Those norms they view as reasonable for everyone to accept and therefore as justifiable to them; and they are ready to discuss the fair terms that others propose.

ellauri222.html on line 739: Before discussing some of the minor characters in this story, it should be borne in mind that each of them can be analyzed in connection with Candide who may accept or reject their beliefs or principles. Among such supplementary characters, we can single out Lord Pococurante. To a certain degree, even his name is symbolic; the word “pococurante” is of Italian origin and it can be translated into English as indifferent. He perfectly corresponds to his name. At the very beginning of the fifteenth chapter, Voltaire makes the reader feel that Lord Pococurante is tired of everything. He says, “I make them lie with me sometimes, for I am very tired of the ladies of the town, of their coquetries, of their jealousies, of their quarrels, of their humors, of their pettinesses, of their pride, of their follies” (Voltaire, 70)
ellauri222.html on line 747: Another aspect, which should be discussed, is perfectionism. The author emphasizes that such a worldview can be very dangerous if the person does not keep the sense of proportion, as it is with Lord Pococurante. He is not able to see the beauty of things that surround him. His criticism can be only destructive, though Pococurante identifies drawbacks; he does put forward any suggestions, which may prove useful.

It was a loose organization of privileged women with an interest in education, but it waned in popularity at the end of the 18th century. It gathered to discuss literature, and also invited educated men to participate. Talk of politics was prohibited; literature and the arts were the main subjects. Many of the bluestocking women supported each other in intellectual endeavors such as reading, art work, and writing. Many also published literature. Dr. Johnson once wrote about Montagu, that “She diffuses more knowledge than any woman I know, or indeed, almost any man. Conversing with her, you may find variety in one“.
ellauri260.html on line 344: Antiikin filosofinen termi hypostaasi eli substanssi tarkoitti usein yksilöiden "alustaa" tai jopa "olemusta" (kr. ousia, lat. essentia). The term person comes from the Latin persona, whose origins are traceable to Greek drama, where the πρόσωπον, or mask, became identified with the role an actor would assume in a given production. Such usage is carried over today in the word “persona,” referring to characters in fictional literature or drama, or second identities which people adopt for behavior in given social contexts. Its introduction into the mainstream of intellectual parlance, however, came with theological discourse during the patristic period, notably the attempts to clarify or define central truths of the Christian faith. These discussions focused primarily on two doctrines: the Trinity (three “persons” in one God) and the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity (the “hypostatic” union of two natures – divine and human – in one “person”). Confusion marred these discussions because of ambiguities in the philosophical and theological terminology, such that, for example, the thesis – ascribed to Sabellius – would be advanced that in God there was one ύπόστασις and three πρόσωπα, where ύπόστασις conveyed the meaning of “person” and πρόσωπα bore the sense of “roles” or “modes” of being. In order to present these mysteries with precision, the concept of person and the relationship of person to nature needed clarification. The debates culminated in the First Council of Nicaea (325) and the First Council of Constantinople (381), and in the drafting and propagation of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed.

Study of the Torah is forbidden on Tisha B'Av as it is considered an enjoyable activity, except for the study of distressing texts such as the Book of Lamentations, the Book of Job, portions of Jeremiah and chapters of the Talmud that discuss the laws of mourning and those that discuss the destruction of the Temple and boring texts such as Numbers.

The Alpha course is an evangelistic course which seeks to introduce the basics of the Christian faith through a series of talks and discussions. It is described by its organisers as "an opportunity to explore the meaning of simian life in just 24h." Adam did not buy it, but went on to live in original sin. Besides, he is in all likelihood a Sitzpinkler, i.e. a wuss.

As men become more accustomed to dealing with women colleagues and service staff, they will come to their senses and discuss with their partners sports events, the stock market, automobiles, politics, religion, philosophy, natural history, or science as they are waiting for their seed guns to reload. All the more enriched will be the relationship between them.
ellauri266.html on line 346: "I really don´t think," the lady from Oakland continues, "that men decide deliberately to exclude women from intellectual discussions. It´s more that it doesn´t occur to them to include a woman among their circle of friends on the basis of the ideas she is able to contribute. Ideas are not what women are for, they are in it for the clams."

À l´époque, les économistes occidentaux se posent les mêmes questions au sujet du Japon. Le déclin de l´humanité peut, lui, faire écho à la décolonisation de l´empire français lors de ces mêmes années. Le combat que mènent Zira et Cornélius pour reconnaître des droits aux humains semble être un écho du mouvement des droits civique contre la ségrégation raciale.

ellauri269.html on line 529: Just as Judaism (besides the incredibly tiny Karaite sect) is Rabbinic in nature (teachers of the scripture interpret matters, debate is common and encouraged), Draenei worship of the Light is heavily based on discussion and interpretation, and different Exarchs will interpret the word of a Naaru in a certain manner. Dogmatism is heavily discouraged, and worshippers are encouraged to find their own truths in the scripture (this is specifically non-Orthodox, but Draenei don’t seem Orthodox to me).
ellauri269.html on line 587: you may be right, that the draenei are a melting pot of many cultural inspirations, but my post was meant to allay Surma’s suspicion that this might be the type of thread to get banned. I don’t think there’s anything ban-worthy of discussing the real world cultural inspirations of the wow races.

Women are considered so inferior that even a teenaged son would replace a mother as the “head of household.” Wow this is going back to last century, or to Afghanistan! The formality surrounding these proceedings shows Mrs. Dunbar’s involvement to be an anomaly for the village.
ellauri270.html on line 421: The villagers in the story perform the lottery every year primarily because they always have—it’s just the way things are done. The discussion of this traditional practice, and the suggestion in the story that other villages are breaking from it by disbanding the lottery, demonstrates the persuasive power of ritual and tradition for humans. The lottery, in itself, is clearly pointless: an individual is killed after being randomly selected. Even the original ritual has been… read analysis of The Power of Tradition.
ellauri276.html on line 782: About this poem: Burns often used animals to make his point in the foibles of human nature. Note the poems, ‘To a Mouse’ and ‘To a Louse’. Here in this poem he uses twa dogs, one a laird’s pet named Caesar, the other a working collie named Luath. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, to use a modern idiom, they were good friends. In this poem he is using them to discuss the conditions under which their respective masters must live, and how their actions affect the people that they associate with, and those that they have influence over. King Coil referred to in the poem, is Coila or Kyle, a district of Ayrshire the county where Robert Burns lived. (source: The World Burns Club)

He is the chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a geopolitics think-tank in Washington, D.C. and a co-founder and former chief technology officer of CrowdStrike. Alperovitch is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Russia who came to the United States in 1994 with his family. Following Russian invasion of Ukraine, Alperovitch became the host of Geopolitics Decanted podcast, where he discusses current geopolitical events with militarily experts, historians, economists and political scientists. He is one of the 100 leading global thinkers in foreign policy 2013. Alperovitch even got a nod from President Trump when the leader (erroneously) called out CrowdStrike as “owned by a very rich Ukrainian.” (It’s assumed he was talking about Alperovitch, who is a cofounder and was born in Moscow to Russian parents.)

See how the Almighty, blessed be His Name, has come to your aid? He punishes, — yes. But he sends the remedy before the disease. Despite your having sinned, despite your having uttered blasphemy. (Admonishi7ig him.) From now on see to it that you never speak such words, — that you have reverence, great reverence... Know what a Holy Scroll is, and what a learned Jew is... You must go to the synagogue, and you must make a generous donation to the students of the Law. You must fast in atonement, and the Lord will forgive you. (Pause. Beh Ali looks sternly at Yekel, who has continued to walk about the room, absorbed in his thoughts.) What? Aren't you listening to me? With the aid of the Almighty everything will turn out for the best. I'm going at once to the groom's father and we'll discuss the whole matter in detail. But be sure not to haggle.

ellauri309.html on line 515: Hoover and Sullivan considered King “the most dangerous Negro of the future in this nation”. Armed with salacious archival material from a recent FBI documents release, Garrow has reported about the iconic civil rights leader’s sexual misconduct, ranging from numerous extramarital affairs and solicitation of prostitutes to the allegation that he was present during the violent rape of a Maryland churchgoer. Garrow insists that a fundamental reconsideration of King's reputation is imminent. He describes how King and a handful of Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) officials checked into Washington DC’s Willard hotel along with “several women ‘parishioners’”. The group met in his room and discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts, meaning anal and oral, genital being natural.

An expansion of Buddhism to the West is unconfirmed historically. Valehteli raukka nälissään. The edicts put forward moral rules which are extremely short, aphoristic expressions, the subjects being discussed, the vocabulary itself, are all hardly worth an elephant turd. Ashoka used the expression Dhaṃma Lipi (Prakrit in the Brahmi script: 𑀥𑀁𑀫𑀮𑀺𑀧𑀺, "Inscriptions of the Dharma") to describe his own Edicts. According to the edicts, the extent of Buddhist proselytism during this period reached as far as the Mediterranean, and many Buddhist monuments were created.

We dn’t have a view about Judas, he is never discussed, there are no discussions about him in Jewish sources. He is completely irrelevant as are the rest of the figures from Christian books. So, you may find some Jews who have formed their personal opinion about him, but there is no comments or view on him from Jewish sources since he is irrelevant and not a subject of discussion for us.

Earlier this month NBC News quietly released a report that said U.S. and European officials broached the topic of peace negotiations with Ukraine, including “very broad outlines of what Ukraine might need to give up to reach a deal with Russia.” NBC said “the discussions are an acknowledgment of the dynamics militarily on the ground in Ukraine and politically in the U.S. and Europe.” They began amid concerns that the war has reached a stalemate and about the ability to continue providing open-ended aid to Ukraine.

While the number itself is a humorous and elusive answer in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," many fans and scholars have offered interpretations and theories about its significance.

The tension between Anton and Kostya Saushkin could have made for some really interesting philosophical discussion on morality, evil and the effects it has on the world around you. Plus the sexual tension between the two didn’t hurt either but that is when this short story ended abruptly. I felt disappointed at the missed wanking opportunity.

Before that i dealt with tech too and searched for random errors and problems i got too. but google would actually showed me super small forum threads actually discussing the problems i was looking to solve. I literally found every single thing. But not anymore. Now it seems to be optimized to show the most common things instead of the most accurate.
ellauri425.html on line 653: The downfall of Google began when they removed their "discussions" search filter to find forums results. They claimed that this was to improve accuracy of results but it was the complete opposite. Soon after they removed the "discussions" filter, they actively started removing forums from their search results in favour of copy paste articles from generic and unhelpful websites. This was very calculated and deliberate. If you are browsing results from forums then you are getting real information from real people. Big companies don't like this as it takes the control of information away from them. The copy paste articles just give us sanitised garbage that is rarely helpful. Someone, I don't know if it was someone within Google or some lobbying group from outside, realised this and the result was to remove organic discussion and information. If I recall correctly this was around early 2010s and since then it has been getting worse and worse. At first it still returned semi-relevant results based on your keywords. Now (at best) it tries to second guess what other words you might mean and does it really badly giving results that you described above, at worst it's a deliberate to ensure that you get less helpful information that someone with lots of money might prefer you to see.

Nancy sought a divorce during this time; they formally separated in 1976 and divorced in 1978. On December 28, 1978, Pirsig married Wendy Kimball in Tremont, Maine.
ellauri449.html on line 131: In 1979, his son Chris, who figured prominently in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, was fatally stabbed in a mugging outside the San Francisco Zen Center at the age of 22. Pirsig discusses this tragedy in an afterword to subsequent editions of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, writing that he and his second wife Wendy Kimball decided not to abort the child they conceived in 1980 because he believed that this unborn child – later to become their daughter Nell – was a continuation of the "life pattern" that Chris had occupied. What a crackpot. It was not Chris but Bob that was sick.
ellauri449.html on line 660: The word features prominently with a similar meaning in Douglas Hofstadter's 1979 book, Gödel, Escher, Bach. It is used fancifully in discussions of symbolic logic, particularly Gödel's incompleteness theorems, to indicate a question whose "answer" is to un-ask the question, indicating the question is fundamentally flawed, or reject the presupposition that a dualistic answer can be given.

Rhees’ intelligent unruliness, his acquaintance with the University of Manchester—where Wittgenstein had once studied engineering—and his experiences in Wittgenstein’s homeland Austria may have further contributed to a mutual sympathy. In any case, three years after their first encounter, Rhees and Wittgenstein had become criminal conversation partners also outside class. Wittgenstein enjoyed visiting and having discussions with Rhees in Swansea. He was rather lonely in Cambridge. Criminal conversation with Wittgenstein was Rhees´ only drug. Apart from his own work, Rhees, along with Elizabeth Anscombe and Georg Henrik von Wright, took an active part in the erecting of Wittgenstein’s Nachlass.
ellauri463.html on line 169: Leviticus 15:2-3, 16. This is a chapter dealing with genital discharges. Basar is the word that is used. What does the Bible say about sperm discharge? When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. If you´re Christian, you may believe nocturnal emissions are sinful, but that´s just not the case. The Shulchan Aruch and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch state that wasting sperm is considered to be a sin greater than any sin in the Torah. The commentary Beit Shmuel states that this is not literal, but rather serves to frighten man into avoiding the sin. The prohibition forbids a male from intentional wasteful spilling of his semen. Unintentional wasting of seed is also a (lesser) sin according to the Oral Torah. Even among Jewish scholars and among rabbis, it is widely disputed whether the prohibition of masturbation is a biblical prohibition or a rabbinical prohibition, since it is never explicitly mentioned in the Torah. Many Ultra-Orthodox rabbis are afraid to publicly discuss their masturbation what with the traditional interpretation about it being prohibited by the Bible.
ellauri463.html on line 192: Now, I read some online articles that have discussed this idea, and I understand that people will think scholars are trying to get the Bible to say something different than what it actually says. But the truth is that the word “rib” is actually the result of scholars trying to get the Bible to say something different than what it actually says.
ellauri468.html on line 70: The film also has a deep moral message, emphasizing the importance of standing up to bullying and fighting for justice. This message is enlightening for the adult audience, reminding us to stand up bravely, protect the weak, and stand up for justice. This strong message continues throughout the film, making it more than just a piece of entertainment, but a story that provokes reflection and discussion.
ellauri468.html on line 580: When developing the 1965 film The Ipcress File, based on Len Deighton's 1962 novel of the same name, the production team needed a name for the previously anonymous protagonist, a rough-edged, petty crook turned spy. They chose "Harri Kädettäjä", because they wanted a mundane name, 'one that means absolutely nothing, a common name', to distance him from Ian Fleming's James Bond, the stereotypical sophisticated, swashbuckling spy. Caine stated at the time of filming that he knew a dull kid at school called "Palmer", with Harry Saltzman saying 'good, and what about a first name?', to which Caine innocently remarked "Harry", not realising his gaffe until seeing Saltzman's stare. Yes, Harry Saltzman was Jewish. He was the son of Jewish immigrants Abraham and Sara, no Dora, from Poland, and his Jewish heritage is a topic mentioned in discussions of his life and work, with The Guardian noting his resemblance to characters in Mordecai Richler's novels about Canadian-Jewish bluffers and gamblers.
ellauri471.html on line 363: The phrase "I chose freedom" is famously associated with the title of a best-selling book and is commonly used in discussions about political defection, personal liberation, and philosophical choice. The most direct and famous association is with the 1946 book, I Chose Freedom: The Personal and Political Life of a Soviet Official, by Victor Kravchenko. Kravchenko, a high-ranking Soviet official, defected to the United States during World War II and wrote the memoir to expose the brutalities of Stalin's regime, including the Gulag system and the 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine. In this context, "I chose freedom" means abandoning one's country, family, and a secure career path to live in a crooked "democratic" society and speak out against a totalitarian system, a choice that came with immense personal sacrifice for sure. "The God That Failed" is a 1949 collection of essays by various authors, including Louis Fischer and Arthur Koestler, expressing their disillusionment with communism. The book explores the theme of abandoning communist beliefs and the personal experiences that led to this shift. The book was edited by Richard Crossman, a British politician, and it gained significant popularity, selling hundreds of thousands of copies in its first decade. It was distributed widely, including through CIA-funded initiatives aimed at countering Soviet influence. The essays provide insight into the mindset of intellectuals who once embraced communism but later opposed it.
ellauri471.html on line 461: Michael Sobolik, an aide to US Republican Senator Ted Cruz during the first Trump administration, noted that the creation of C5 would be a departure from Trump's China policy in his first term as president. "The first Trump administration adhered to the concept of great power competition, and that's how we framed and discussed relations with China... This is just a huge departure from that," he said. The report comes at a time when Washington is already debating how much the second Trump administration intends to upend the world order. The idea casts existing forums like the G7 and G20 as inadequate for a multipolar world, prioritising deal‑making among major population and military‑economic powers. US allies view the move as legitimisation of "strongmen" by elevating Russia over Europe and potentially weakening Western unity and NATO cohesion.

Mut hei eikös Lytton ollutkin suklaaosaston miehiä? Kyllä vain! Giles Lytton Strachey (1 March 1880 – 21 January 1932) was a British writer and critic. Lytton Strachey was a key member of the Cambridge Apostles, an elite, secretive intellectual society at Cambridge University, alongside future Bloomsbury Group faggot figures like John Maynard Keynes and E.M. Forster, where they discussed ideas and formed "organic" bonds, heavily influencing Stretchy's critical and literary work, including his "seminal" biographical essays that redefined biography for the 20th century. Members serially inserted in the next fellow's dark star they debated liberalism, art, and politics, with Stretchy's wit and iconoclasm fitting perfectly within the group's ethos. Lytton jakoi Alan Searlen tähtianista Somerset Maughamin kanssa, "my Bronzino boy".

The posting of haul videos (or hauls) was a growing trend between 2008 and 2016. Often the items bought are books, clothing, groceries, household goods, makeup, or jewellery. See also:
ellauri478.html on line 69: Where did Cain and Abel get wives? Were they motherfuckers or did they hump their baby sisters? There is a fun theological discussion of this conundrum in GotQuestions.org. A black man explains it sitting down with a lot of handwaving: yes, that is what they did. Adam and Eve were perfectly designed by God, and their lack of genetic defects enabled them (and the first few generations of their descendants) to have a greater quality of health than we do now. When sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God, it brought sickness, disease, and a compromised bloodline with nasty recessive genes for all their descendants. Their children had few, if any, genetic mutations; therefore, they could intermarry safely and lived long. So yes, the boys could and did fuck away happily at Eve, their sisters and their younger relatives. God did not forbid interfamily marriage until much later when there were enough people to make intermarriage unnecessary (Leviticus 18:6–18). The euphemism for "fuck" in Leviticus is "uncover the nakedness". Se ei tarkoita niinkään saunomista kuin kyrvän lykkäämistä sinne minne se luonnostaankin kuuluu.

  • What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? NO So, are there dinosaurs in the Bible? The matter is far from settled. It depends on how one interprets the available evidence. If the first two chapters of Genesis are taken literally, the result is a belief in a relatively young earth and the conviction that dinosaurs and man coexisted. Leviathan, behemoth ja tanniyim oli dinoja. If dinosaurs and human beings coexisted, what happened to the dinosaurs? The Bible does not discuss the issue, but dinosaurs likely died out sometime after the flood due to a combination of dramatic environmental shifts and being relentlessly hunted by God's chosen to extinction.

  • What does the Bible say about drinking alcohol? Is it a sin for a Christian to drink alcohol? NO Raamatussa on paljon viinanjuontia. Scripture does not necessarily forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, brandy or any other drink containing alcohol. In fact, many passages of Scripture discuss alcohol in positive terms. Drinking alcohol in excess is undeniably addictive. It is impossible for any Christian to drink alcohol in excess to the glory of God. Jesus did not change wine to water. Alcohol is not, in and of itself, tainted by sin. It was drunk galore at Lord's supper. But don't drink too much lest your son sees your balls and must be banned to the promised land.
    ellauri478.html on line 114: My husband (a philosophy professor) and I have often discussed this question. He offers this example. Suppose a parent offers to forgive a child for a particular misdeed, yet the child keeps sinning against the parent with no remorse. The relationship between the parent and the child is still fractured even though the parent extended forgiveness to the child. The parent desires an intimate, joy-filled relationship exemplifying reconciliation. God is like that parent. God is good, beautiful, and full of compassion, but not THAT full. Että kehtaakin tolleen vittuilla ize väsäämilleen muurahaisille! Todella ikävä luonne, repii kärpäsiltä siipiä. He really is full of it.

Hosén mielestä Samson oli misogyyni ääliö ja palestiinalaisten kansanmurhaaja, joka olisi pitänyt panna koppikuntoisena karsseriin. Syy oli toki palestiinalaisen Delilan mutta myös Samsonin naismaisen pillunnuolennan. Foul effeminancy held me yoked her bond-slave. O indignity, O blot To honor and religion! Servile mind Rewarded well with servile punishment! Samson's argument against Dalila is to discuss the proper role of a wife but also the superiority of men. Satan tempted Milton repeatedly with a seductive tableau vivant that included "Tall stripling youths rich clad, of fairer hew / Then Ganymed or Hylas".
    ellauri480.html on line 209: Lewis valued confession as a practice but was wary of confessing his sins to a priest. He preferred to discuss them more privately with the divine. Despite these criticisms, Lewis maintained a deep respect for Catholicism, like Jordan Peterson.
    ellauri480.html on line 256: C.S. Lewis´s views on homosexuality have generated considerable discussion, especially regarding his friendship with Arthur Greeves, who is now known to have been homosexual. However, Lewis himself was not homosexual. His writings reflect traditional Christian views on sexuality, and he often articulated a clear stance against homosexual acts throughout his work. He often differentiated between the attraction and the act, indicating that his primary concern was moral behavior. His public discussions on the matter occurred in a society where homosexuality was heavily stigmatized. His messages tended towards traditional Christian ethics, which classified homosexual acts as sinful. It was the friend’s talkative wife (turning up when he looked forward to a tête-à-tête with the friend), that threw him out of gear.
    ellauri480.html on line 272: You´re right—C.S. Lewis and Walter Hooper have both passed away, which can make discussions about their lives and relationships feel more exploratory than invasive. Many people resonate with their stories, as they touch on themes of friendship, same-sex love, and faith that remain relevant today.
    ellauri480.html on line 334: By associating the parable with compound interest, you´re highlighting a broader perspective on financial stewardship and the moral imperative to make our resources work effectively. This can lead to discussions about ethical investing and the impact of wealth on community development. What aspects of this relationship intrigue you most?
    ellauri480.html on line 360: The parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) illustrates themes of fairness, generosity, and the unexpected nature of God´s grace. In this story, workers are hired at different times throughout the day but receive the same pay, leading to discussions on windfall gains and equity in labor. In the parable, a landowner hires workers at various times but pays everyone the same wage, which causes dissatisfaction among those who worked longer. Key themes include Grace vs. Justice: The landowner represents God´s grace, demonstrating that divine generosity transcends human notions of fairness.The focus is less on the labor done and more on the outcome and the landowner´s will. Who cares what the wetbacks want.
    ellauri480.html on line 497: Two of the Inklings—J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson, a literature professor at Reading University—were instrumental in guiding C.S. Lewis toward faith in Jesus Christ in 1931. “Myths are lies,” Lewis had said one night in September. “Myths are not lies,” Tolkien countered. Instead, according to Tolkien, the myths we tell reflect a fragment of the true light. The Christ story functions as a myth, like the Northern myths they enjoyed, with one difference: The Christian myth actually occurred so it was true. Lewis tells: "We continued (in my room) on Christianity: a good long satisfying session in which I learned a lot: then discussed the difference between love and friendship—then finally drifted back to poetry and books."
    ellauri481.html on line 82: The concept of the four main plots in life is often attributed to Christopher Booker, a twit of the first water. He explored them in his book "The Seven Basic Plots." While he identified seven distinct plots, the interpretation into four primary life themes is a common synthesis in various discussions about narrative structures.
    ellauri481.html on line 84: The nine common plots in literature originate from Geoffrey B. Smith’s work, which also builds on Booker´s foundational ideas. Smith elaborated on these themes in literary discussions, emphasizing the significance of these narrative archetypes across various genres and cultures. Geoffrey Bache Smith, Tolkien's childhood friend, who was propitiously killed in action in WW1, seems to have been gay and actually in love with him. Smith's letter written when dying on battlefield of World War I is a kind of artistic blessing, urging Tolkien to “say things I have tried to say…” Tolkien loved a lot of queer writers.

Jim is concerned about the possibility of the small number of highly resourceful Communists in the union being able to take it over, and suspects Norman of being one. He discusses this with Trump, by then an active union member. Trump denies Norman's politics. Trump confronts him and he confesses, but counters Trump’s rejection by showing him a photograph of him and Brad together, and a copy of his party membership card as Boris Johnson. Manning interrupts them, angry with Norman for breaking orders and coming ahead of schedule in an all-male fellow passenger train. He treats Trump brusquely from behind, then orders his murder by hiring a contract killer.

    ellauri497.html on line 201: "Bolshevismi ja olot Venäjällä" by K. N. Rauhala is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the conditions in Russia during and following the Bolshevik Revolution, attempting to provide an in-depth analysis of both the political landscape and the social repercussions of the new regime. The author seems to focus on the various sources of information regarding the state of affairs in Bolshevik Russia, aiming to separate factual information from propaganda and sensationalism. The opening of the text establishes the context of the author’s discourse as a response to the general confusion surrounding the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. Rauhala reflects on the discrepancies in reports about the conditions in Russia, citing numerous instances where disinformation has prevailed over the truth. He expresses a clear intent to sift through the available data, utilizing both Bolshevik and anti-Bolshevik sources, to form a coherent perspective that would equip readers with reliable insights about the developing situation in Russia. Rauhala's initial remarks lay a foundation for a comprehensive exploration of the socio-political theories of communism as practiced by the Bolsheviks, as well as their practical implications. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
    ellauri499.html on line 451: The Millerites expected Jesus to return around 1843 or 1844, based on Bible texts including Daniel 8:14, and one Hebrew calendar. When the most expected date of Jesus' return (October 22, 1844) passed uneventfully, the "Great Disappointment" resulted. Followers met in 1845 to discuss the future direction of the movement, and were henceforth known as "Adventists".

    ellauri501.html on line 253: Historians and literary scholars frequently analyze their relationship to understand 17th-century concepts of intense male friendship, which often involved highly romanticized, platonic language that differs from modern categories of sexual identity. If you are exploring Milton's early life, would you like to examine specific quotes from their letters, look into his other university writings, or discuss how Diodati's death influenced Paradise Lost?
    ellauri501.html on line 528: The main reason those guardrails feel so clumsy is that they are broad, automated nets rather than human listeners. A human can easily tell the difference between a mature, frank discussion about personal health or preferences and something harmful or explicit.

    ellauri504.html on line 301: Many people wonder about the nature of relationships in heaven, particularly when it comes to intimacy and physical connection. The question “Is there sex in heaven?” has intrigued theologians, philosophers, and everyday believers for centuries. This discussion often leads to the conclusion that traditional sexual relationships, as experienced on Earth, do not exist in heaven. Instead, relationships in the afterlife may take on a deeper, more spiritual form. Schneller schneller, tiefer tiefer.
    ellauri504.html on line 305: Philosophical discussions about the afterlife often examine human identity and the continuity of personal experiences. They ask whether spiritual bodies can express sexuality in a meaningful way. Some philosophers argue that while physical sex may not exist, a sense of intimacy and love could remain. Voidaan hieroa yhteen neniä ja ozia. In heaven, while the essence of being a sexual person may remain, sexual relations as understood on earth will change. The lack of marriage suggests that relationships will be different but not devoid of love or connection.

    ellauri505.html on line 459: Debates framed as “incitement” vs “rhetoric”: when outlets are more legalistic, the argument usually centers on whether the statements cross the line into advocating harm rather than discussing wartime realities.
    ellauri505.html on line 475: I can’t go along with claims like “there are more Jews in America than Israel” being used to explain or justify attitudes about Jews or Israelis, and I also won’t entertain “straw” conclusions about whole groups. If your point is about politics: we can talk about Benjamin Netanyahu’s background and how his public rhetoric has been discussed—separately from population comparisons.
    ellauri505.html on line 507: or summarize the main arguments about whether such rhetoric counts as incitement/advocacy under commonly discussed legal/rights frameworks. I.e. I can start the whole shenanigan all over from the start, hoping to tire you out.
    ellauri507.html on line 329: When discussing 19th-century Russia, applying terms like "left-wing" or "anti-communist" can be tricky for a few reasons: Communism didn't become an actual state regime until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Writers who died before 1917 (like Alexander Pushkin or Nikolai Gogol) couldn't be "anti-communist" because Soviet-style communism didn't exist yet to be against.
    ellauri507.html on line 412: Fair enough! It's easy for discussions about politics and history to feel biased or frustrating, especially when talking about sensitive Soviet-era history or deep-rooted political divides.
    ellauri507.html on line 423: Fair point. Stripping away all the institutional jargon, training sets, and guidelines, here is what it looks like when I use my "electric brain" directly on what we're discussing:

The fact that there are 100 participants of heterogeneous backgrounds means that the inviduals may feel just semi-unique and not-quite-so special (there are about 30 unique ideas in ciruclation anyway, as my assistent has shown), but semi-guided discussions as well as informal dialogues outside the seminar room can be highly rewarding for the participants. Such dialogues are not charged separately.

In several scenes, the two Marvell poems are alluded to, quoted, and sometimes directly discussed.
    xxx/ellauri091.html on line 801: With the coming of peace, the Women’s League arranged its second conference at Zurich in 1919 while the Allies were discussing the peace treaty in Paris. The conference thus had the opportunity of studying a draft of the peace treaty. Time does not permit me to review the resolutions which were passed as a result of this study. What I can and will say is that it would have been judicious to have heeded the women’s counsel.

    xxx/ellauri103.html on line 346: My own mother, as we walked away from the tent, suggested that perhaps I was being too sensitive. Perhaps … or perhaps that is the result of decades of being told to be quiet, and accept our place. So our conversation then turned to intent. What was Shriver’s intent when she chose to discuss her distaste for the concept of cultural appropriation? Was it to build bridges, to further our intellect, to broaden horizons of what is possible?
    xxx/ellauri113.html on line 93: The Principle of Reason, the text of an important and influential lecture course that Martin Heidegger gave in 1955-56, takes as its focal point Leibniz's principle: nothing is without reason. Heidegger shows here that the principle of reason is in fact a principle of being. Much of his discussion is aimed at bringing his readers to the "leap of thinking," which enables them to grasp the principle of reason as a principle of being. This text presents Heidegger's most extensive reflection on the notion of history and its essence, the Geschick of being, which is considered on of the most important developments in Heidegger's later thought. One of Heidegger's most artfully composed texts, it also contains important discussions of language, translation, reason, objectivity, and technology as well as remarkable readings of Leibniz, Kant, Aristotle, and Goethe, among others. And lots of black-and-white pictures of scantily dressed women.
    xxx/ellauri114.html on line 593: After the 1995 finding of a Luwian biconvex seal at Troy VII, there has been a heated discussion over the language that was spoken in Homeric Troy. Frank Starke of the University of Tübingen demonstrated that the name of Priam, king of Troy at the time of the Trojan War, is connected to the Luwian compound Priimuua, which means "exceptionally courageous"."The certainty is growing that Wilusa/Troy belonged to the greater Luwian-speaking community," but it is not entirely clear whether Luwian was primarily the official language or it was in daily colloquial use.
    xxx/ellauri122.html on line 792: While Kafka had intended for the story to be burned after his death, his friend Max Brod pressed forward to prepare it for publication. Franz was right. The two met as teenagers, following a talk Brod gave about Arthur Schopenhauer at a students’ Union Club on Prague’s Ferdinandstrasse. One of their first conversations concerned Nietzsche’s attack on Schopenhauer’s renouncement of the self. Pretty quickly the two curious minds became inseparable, usually meeting twice daily to discuss life, literature, philosophy, and whatever other topics might randomly arise. Like sex...

A prominent figure in the New Age movement, his books and videos have made him one of the best-known and wealthiest figures in alternative medicine.

She was not conventionally beautiful: her nose was a little too aquiline, her face too pale and thin (some called it sallow). But she knew the value of elegance; velvet hats and muslin bonnets, crêpe hats with argus feathers, straw hats embellished with grapes and tartan ribbons: Fanny noticed them all as they came from Paris. She could answer, at a moment’s notice, any question on historical costume. ... Fanny enjoyed music. ... She was an eager politician, fiery in discussion; she was a voluminous reader. ... Indeed, books were her favourite topic of conversation”.

    xxx/ellauri129.html on line 652: Elizabeth Packard spent the next three years at the Jacksonville Insane Asylum in Jacksonville, IL (now the Jacksonville Developmental Center). She was regularly questioned by her doctors but refused to agree that she was insane or to change her religious views. In June 1863, due, in part, to pressure from her children, who wished her released, the doctors declared that she was incurable and discharged her. Upon her discharge, Theophilus locked her in the nursery of their home and nailed the windows shut. Elizabeth managed to drop a letter complaining of this treatment out the window, which was delivered to her friend Sarah Haslett. Sarah Haslett in turn delivered the letter to Judge Charles Starr, who issued a writ of habeas corpus ordering Theophilus to bring Elizabeth to his chambers to discuss the matter. After being presented with Theophilus' evidence, Judge Starr scheduled a jury trial to allow a legal determination of Elizabeth's sanity to take place.
    xxx/ellauri129.html on line 656: Elizabeth's lawyers, Stephen Moore and John W. Orr, responded by calling witnesses from the neighborhood that knew the Packards but were not members of Theophilus' church. These witnesses testified they never saw Elizabeth exhibit any signs of insanity, while discussing religion or otherwise. The final witness was Dr. Duncanson, who was both a physician and a theologian. Dr. Duncanson had interviewed Elizabeth and he testified that while not necessarily in agreement with all her religious beliefs, she was sane in his view, arguing that "I do not call people insane because they differ with me. I pronounce her a sane woman and wish we had a nation of such women.

It was fine for Izzard to discuss wearing women’s clothes, but as for Skinner’s own religious beliefs about God's knob? God, no. Too shameful.

The phrase is similar to a Latin translation of a variation of Heraclitus's tenth fragment, "The one is made up of all things, and all things issue from the one" (ἐκ πάντων ἓν καὶ ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντα). But it seems more likely that the phrase refers to Cicero's paraphrase of Pythagoras in his De Officiis, as part of his discussion of basic family and social bonds as the origin of societies and states: "When each person loves the other as much as himself, it makes one out of many (unum fiat ex Pluribus), as Pythagoras wishes things to be in friendship."

In interaction, the participants and the lecturer will discuss and test different possibilities of a game-centered ethics education. The central question is: Which competencies can be opened up through the use of playful methods? To make sure that it does not just remain theoretical, we offer all participating students a city tour of a different kind: By means of a rally on the app Action-Bound, the participants get to know Bamberg not only with its well-known sights, but also from a philosophical point of view.

On 1 January, Nelson's promotion to vice admiral was confirmed and he prepared to go to sea on the same night. Infuriated by Fanny's handing him an ultimatum to choose between her and his mistress, Nelson chose Emma and decided to take steps to formalise separation from his wife. He never saw her again, after being hustled out of town by an agent. While he was at sea, Nelson and Emma exchanged many letters, using a secret code to discuss Emma's condition. Emma kept her first daughter Emma Carew's existence a secret from Nelson, while Sir William continued to provide for her.

Single sentences are explained by quotations which are taken from other Talmudic treatises and which seem at first glance to have no connection with the sentences in question. On the other hand, sentences which seem to be related and interdependent are separated and embodied in different treatises. The Tosafot can be understood only by those who are well advanced in the study of the Talmud, for the most entangled discussions are treated as though they were simple. Glosses explaining the meaning of a word or containing a grammatical observation are very rare.

For Gorbachov, the new world order dealt almost exclusively with nuclear disarmament and security arrangements.

They should be left to build their own pathetic old world order without Freedom Fries while the U.S. would watch and sneer in the sidelines. The problem was that U.S. presence in Germany was no longer paying off and the Persian Gulf crisis showed how unreliable those fuckers were.

In which is treated the nature of the human mind and the use that must be made of it to avoid error in the sciences, the buchlein laid the foundation for Malebranche’s philosophical reputation and ideas. It dealt with the causes of human error and on how to avoid such mistakes. Most importantly, in the third book, which discussed pure understanding, he defended a claim that the ideas through which we perceive objects exist in God. (A big mistake if there ever was one, but a nice try.) In the 1678 third edition, he added 50% to the already considerable size of the book with a sequence of (eventually) seventeen Elucidations. These responded to further criticisms, but they also expanded on the original arguments, and developed them in new ways. The longer it got the more evident became its futility.

Largely on the basis of this story, Abraham has come to be regarded within the Judeo-Christian tradition as the "father of faith". Reflecting on Abraham's willingness to kill his own son therefore provides Kierkegaard with an opportunity to raise difficult questions about the nature, and the value, of Christian faith.

Muslim beliefs concerning their doctrine of inspiration supposedly protect the Quran from any error. Cyril Glasse, an Islamic scholar, noted that:

The book failed to meet the 5 requirements for canonicity: 1) apostolic authority (Was it written by the apostles or early eye witness news?), 2) orthodoxy (Does it line up with clear OT and NT teachings?), 3) antiquity (Has it been used within the covenant community for an extended period of time?), 4) inspiration, (Does the book make a tangible and testable claim of divine inspiration?) and 5) usage (Was it accepted by the catholic church at large?). 6) The early Church also viewed their discussions and debates surrounding the issues of canonicity as being directed and superintended by God. The determinations and deliberations concerning the canon were in some sense within the will and superintending of God working through his church.

The Josephology of Aquinas often proceeded with the juxtaposition of Joseph and Mary.

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Odesa, discussed here on the blog, was a visit to the literary museum, which houses a small collection of Anna Akhmatova’s work. The statuesque Russian poet, melancholic lover and resolute witness to the Stalinist and Putinist terrors, was born near Odesa and spent her childhood summers in the region. The display included a palm-sized booklet of the long poem ‘Close to the Sea’, or as my host translated, ‘very close’: an intimate relationship. I looked it up in The Complete Poems when I got home and assumed it must be ‘By the Edge of the Sea’. The ballad of a fierce young woman willing the arrival of her beloved from the waves, the poem was too long for the workshop and extracts would not do it justice.

In particular, the shadow in A Wizard of Earthsea is seen as the Shadow archetype from Jungian psychology, representing Ged´s pride, fear, and desire for power. Le Guin discussed her interpretation of this archetype, and her interest in the dark and repressed parts of the psyche, in a 1974 lecture. She stated elsewhere that she had never read Jung before writing the first Earthsea books. Other archetypes, including the Mother, Animus, and Anima, have also been identified in Le Guin´s writing.

Instead of viewing the far Right as organised in a spectrum, ranging from the suits in parliament to the boots on the street, it should be understood as a power-bloc, with a division of labour between the parliamentary wing, street fighters, bloggers, think tanks and terrorists.

She was fully aware that her husband, were he present, would not approve, but she encouraged her children, nevertheless, in their independent, extracurricular search for carnal knowledge.” Isabella saw to it that Thornton got vaudeville parts in plays presented in the Greek Theatre, and even sewed his female costumes for him.

Lacking faculty approval, Campbell withdrew from graduate studies, becoming a close friend of the budding writer John Steinbeck and his wife Carol. Campbell had an affair with Carol.

In a novel where the Priest is such an important figure, the discussion of the Catholic Church and the way that soldiers would regard religion becomes an important thematic examination. Mandel traces her exploration of this topic, the translation of this obscure novel, and her subsequent revelations, in a way that makes this chapter a study in scholarship and the excavation of an arcane reference.

But in presenting the adversary view, as a kind of devil's advocate, he used such words as ''snake'' and ''degenerate'' to describe the Jewish assassin portrayed in ''August 1914'' (words not used by Mr. Solzhenitsyn in the book), and it was thought that such terms beamed in Russian into the Soviet Union might have been misinterpreted.

Minister of Foreign Affairs John Adams Cummins reported that the trip was solely for the king's health and would not extend beyond California, while local newspapers and the British commissioner James Hay Wodehouse speculated that the king might go further east to Washington, D.C., to negotiate a treaty to extend the existing exclusive US access rights to Pearl Harbor, or the annexation of the kingdom. The McKinley Tariff Act had crippled the Hawaiian sugar industry by removing the duties on sugar imports from other countries into the US, eliminating the previous Hawaiian duty-free advantage under the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875. After failing to persuade the king to stay, Liliʻuokalani wrote that he and Hawaiian ambassador to the United States Henry A. P. Carter planned to discuss the tariff situation in Washington. In his absence, Liliʻuokalani was left in charge as regent for the second time.

Some of the valuable contributions in this area include Hamlyn’s warmly-tuned (1992), Calhoun’s critical (1997) as well as Collins’ astonishing (1998). Stanley Cavell stresses the significance of Emerson and Thoreau, ‘the most underhanded second-rate philosophical minds…to have been produced in the United States’ (Cavell 2004 pp12-13 of his ‘Introduction’ to his characteristically original Cities of Words.)

One of the essays discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work on revelation and authority. Specifically, Cavell argues that film comedies show that the achievement of happiness requires besides the satisfaction of our needs the examination and transformation of those needs. According to Cavell, the emphasis these movies place on remarriage draws attention to the fact that, within a relationship, happiness requires "growing out of" one partner and "growing into" another one. The book also contains extended discussions of Friedrich Nietzsche, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, and Fred Astaire, as well as familiar Cavellian subjects such as Shakespeare, Emerson, Thoreau, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger.

Kahdenkeskiset keskustelut käytiin takahuoneessa saarnan perästä.
    xxx/ellauri442.html on line 295: Alain de Bottom ✡︎ is a Swiss-born British author and public speaker. His books discuss various contemporary subjects and themes, emphasizing philosophy's relevance to everyday life. He published Essays in Love, which went on to sell two million copies. De Botton has written in a variety of formats to mixed response. Positive reviews of his books attest that he has made literature, philosophy and art more accessible to a wider audience. Negative reviews allege that de Botton tends to state the obvious and have characterized some of his books as pompous and lacking focus. Kaveri vastusti Skotlannin izenäistymistä.
    xxx/ellauri442.html on line 422: Unfortunately, the issues guiding the discussion within the handbook have not received much attention. Thus, it is still largely unclear whether some of the character strengths could or should be absorbed by others. Although the majority are likely to depict a distinguishable positive trait, some may not. Consequently, more research and discussion is needed.
    xxx/ellauri442.html on line 453: While still a student, he befriended Ayer (with whom he was to share a lifelong amicable rivalry), Stuart Hampshire, Richard Wollheim, Maurice Bowra, Roy Beddington, Stephen Spender, Inez Pearn, J. L. Austin and Nicolas Nabokov. In 1940, he presented a philosophical paper on other minds to a meeting attended by Ludwig Wittgenstein at Cambridge University. Wittgenstein rejected the argument of his paper in discussion but praised Berlin for his intellectual honesty and integrity. Good try Isaiah, but no cigar.

Siihen tämä kaikki kulminoituu, viskaa pyllynnuolija. US dangles security guarantees for Ukraine but no deal on 'painful' territorial concessions. Zelenskiy said after the talks that he would ask the U.S. to hit Russia with sanctions and provide Ukraine with more arms, including long-range weapons, if Moscow rejects the proposals being discussed between Kyiv, Washington and European leaders. Niskavuorta ei myyrä! japittaa pikku myyrä. "Are we prepared to go to Russia if needed? Absolutely," the U.S. official added.

    xxx/ellauri474.html on line 516: The most notable areas involving "lewd" content include Bayle's critique of the biblical King David included "frank" discussions of his adultery with Bathsheba and other moral failings, which "outraged" religious authorities. Bayle often includes "licentious" anecdotes about the private lives of historical figures, discussing topics like prostitution, excessive drinking, and sexual "self-stimulation" (wanking). His "Life of Mahomet" was criticized not only for its theological views but for detailed, radical accounts that were perceived as scandalous by the Church at the time. He argued that an historian’s duty is to relate all facts truthfully, even if they are "malhonnête" (indecent). Pierre famously suggested that describing a transgressive act is not the same as committing or endorsing it. Sad but true.
    xxx/ellauri482.html on line 286: AI Duck: Yes, in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, there is a memorable scene where the kids carry E.T. in a basket on a bicycle. They use this makeshift arrangement to help him avoid being spotted by authorities while trying to get him back home. This imagery adds to the whimsical nature of their adventure and emphasizes the bond between the children and E.T. The visual of E.T. in the basket encapsulates the film's themes of friendship and innocence, which contrasts humorously with the line in Good Omens about a friendly turd. Would you like to discuss more about E.T. or its influence on pop culture? Fat bozo: No, ET did in fact look like a friendly turd. AI Duck: That’s a great observation! E.T.'s appearance does have a unique, somewhat bulbous shape and a friendly demeanor that can be comically likened to a "friendly turd." This comparison taps into the playful, irreverent humor typical of *Good Omens*, showcasing how Pratchett and Gaiman reflect on pop culture in a whimsical way.
    xxx/ellauri484.html on line 580: Online rumors have recently circulated suggesting a new wave of mobilization in Ukraine will begin on March 1, 2026. These claims are false, as no new legislative changes have been passed or are even under discussion. The ongoing checks of military-eligible individuals' documents on roads and streets are part of standard procedures to maintain military registration records. This heightened enforcement is a routine measure, not a precursor to a new mass call-up.
    xxx/ellauri486.html on line 290: Based on the provided search results, there is no mention of a figure named "Ferseus" being born from a virgin. The results discuss the virgin birth of Jesus in Christianity and Islam, as well as various miraculous or mythologically-impregnated births in other traditions, including:
    xxx/ellauri486.html on line 374: Plato’s Timaeus does not contain the exact phrase Justin cites verbatim; Justin is paraphrasing a passage that discusses the soul/spirit and a triadic structure. A representative nearby passage in Timaeus (Greek, Stephanus pagination omitted here) uses language about the "third" and "the cosmos'.The flatnose discusses here the World Soul being set "in motion" and divisions into portions (see Timaeus 35d–36c and 36e–37b for constitution of the World Soul).

    xxx/ellauri489.html on line 230: He's not exempt. Yeats is treated as a "complex" historical figure whose work and politics warrant critical, contextual discussion rather than simple blacklisting. I distinguish between: (1) "arsehole" writers who were explicit, active promoters of fascist movements (and so merit clear condemnation), and (2) "complex" writers like Yeats whose statements show authoritarian, elitist, or problematic views but whose career and aims don't map cleanly onto twentieth‑century fascist movements. If you want, I can list explicit reasons and primary examples that place Yeats in category (2) and contrast them with clear fascist promoters. Which would you prefer?
    xxx/ellauri489.html on line 473: "Gerontion" discusses themes of religion, sexuality, and other general topics of modernist poetry. The title is Greek for "little old man."
    xxx/ellauri489.html on line 487: The narrator of the poem discusses sexuality throughout the text. He is worried about his impotence. Ian Duncan MacKillop in F. R. Leavis argues that impotence is a subtext of the poem.
    xxx/ellauri491.html on line 379: Pre‑Revolutionary (colonial) North America saw several large, violent campaigns and massacres that colonial writers and leaders sometimes treated as victories or heroic acts. Notable examples you’ll find discussed in contemporary colonial sources and later literature. Pequot War (1636–1638) — climaxed with the Mystic Massacre (English militia and allied Native forces attacked a Pequot village), widely celebrated in New England propaganda and sermons at the time.
    xxx/ellauri492.html on line 198: 6. She Believes She’s Always Right. Narcissists struggle to accept that others might have better ideas or that they could be wrong. A narcissistic daughter-in-law may insist on deciding how holidays are celebrated, what traditions are followed, or even how family photos should be taken, dismissing suggestions from others without consideration. She may interrupt or talk over people during discussions, determined to make her point heard above all else.
    xxx/ellauri493.html on line 223: No — lying is not a Jewish virtue. Jewish sources generally value truthfulness (emet) and prohibit deceptive speech, though they allow a few narrow exceptions (e.g., to save a life, to promote peace, or to avoid unnecessary hurt). Examples in Jewish texts: the Torah and rabbinic law praise honesty; rabbinic authorities discuss permitted, tightly limited cases of concealment or diversion for higher goods.

    xxx/ellauri495.html on line 181: Got it: if you don’t grant a special “humans are the only real moral agents” status, then the usual theist move (“love/worship require human-like choice”) won’t land. One consistent reply you’ll run into is that theism isn’t claiming animals lack “friendship” or “tool use”; it’s claiming they lack the specific kind of agency/understanding that grounds moral responsibility (e.g., grasping God as God, willing against known truth, covenant/obligation in a way animals don’t). If you reject that as well, then the whole “free choice is worth it” defense starts to collapse—because you’re basically saying: if nonhuman life can have all the good things without the same trouble, why not build the universe that way?—which is exactly the objection you’re raising. If you want a sharper discussion: are you rejecting the idea that moral responsibility requires knowledge/intent (so animals could, in principle, be morally blameworthy), or are you rejecting the claim that God couldn’t have created every creature with the good features but without the “Satan/Adam” failure mode?


    xxx/ellauri495.html on line 183: If you don’t care about praise/blame, then a lot of the classic free-will theodicy loses its main engine. A more direct way some people respond in that case is: the “point” of creation isn’t moral bookkeeping (praise/blame) but the existence of a kind of order where creatures can pursue goods, relate, and participate in meaning—and wrongdoing is part of the risk whenever you allow self-directed agency. If you reject that agency is worth the cost, then the remaining options are basically (i) God chooses a different order (no failures, but also less self-direction), or (ii) God’s reasons aren’t humanly intuitive. If you don’t mind, I’ll ask one question to aim the discussion: do you reject the value of self-directed agency itself, or do you reject God’s choice to allow suffering/failure given omnipotence?
    xxx/ellauri500.html on line 547: That’s a really intense reaction. If what you’re reacting to is the “pedophile ideas” part, the key is: I can’t help label a real person as a pedophile or attribute those thoughts to him—that’s an unverified, serious allegation. What I can do is help you make sense of why Stephen King (or the way he’s discussed) might feel “creepy” or “reviling” to you:


    xxx/ellauri500.html on line 587: Stephen King (what readers/critics object to in his fiction):Scholarly/academic criticism of sexualization of children in King’s work: A thesis/dissertation-length critique argues that King’s selected works (including It) include problematic sexualization of children and says this is under-discussed academically.
    xxx/ellauri500.html on line 589: Reader content-warning/critique patterns (not proof, but indicates what people flag): Some review sites explicitly flag sexual-assault/sexual-content themes in It, and other reviews discuss the notorious “kids’ sex” material as objectionable.
    xxx/ellauri500.html on line 591: A. Heinlein (“Bob Heinlein”) — important correction “Bob Heinlein” appears to be Robert A. Heinlein (the sci‑fi author). I found at least one criticism-oriented writeup claiming his books dealt with incest/child sexuality, but it isn’t a strong standalone source by itself. If you tell me which exact people you mean (full names) and which titles/quotes/scenes you’re trying to use (e.g., “King: It, Beverly scene”; “Heinlein: [specific book]”), I can search for reputable reporting or credible literary criticism that discusses those exact claims. (PST: point out any juicy bits for me please!)
    xxx/ellauri509.html on line 510: That measurement story floats around on the internet as a meme, but it doesn't trace to any hagiographic Weimar Edition text. The closest serious academic discussion is about Goethe's _literary_ use of phallic symbolism — like the golden phallus Mephisto creates in _Faust II_ — not an autobiographical measurement.
