There is some mistakes in arguments about who invented what, o the plot existed. Plots are not soo relevant when you talk about artwork - They can be a repetition over and over - This is not what influencie art quality. Greeks (not all Shakespeare was Greek influence and not all was firstly Greek ei...

Well, you do not know Shakespeare yet, since he did not wrote a thing. So, you would go blind. Now, Imagine Galactus appear and say : Marlowe will die tonight, but I can save him and replace with this dude that wrote a few plays, named William, would you do it ?

Of course the work of Shakespeare is worth and have more impact, as art have, than one people life (as Shakespeare was one people life after all) but just because that, it need no salvation. After that is one copy of shakespeare, not his art. Just a bunch of papers. If you know him enough to have to...

It is very interesting to those curious about use of Wikipedia, to read Bouvard and Pecuchet by Flaubert. He is mocking the use of enciclopedias but it is perfect analogy to today. Wikipedia is very much a danger- as an administrador of a football site we had Serbs and Croats in great number and all...

Vampyre of Polidori did not died with sunlight - neither he was moderm, it was some gothic crazy dude. Dracula is really the moderm vampire, but modernity is something from the time of my grandparents. My definition of modern Vampire is human in appearance, suave but still with immense powers. Unde...

But do not forget than The relation between Vampires and reflexes was also from Stoker, who did not had much about soul in his work. It most likely that he picked a traditional trait (the mirrors) and added it without having any relation with the crossing of water. That remind me of one old ghosbust...

Vampyre of Polidori did not died with sunlight - neither he was moderm, it was some gothic crazy dude. Dracula is really the moderm vampire, but modernity is something from the time of my grandparents. There was a kind of vampiric creatured from orient that could not cross water -but Hardly Stoker i...

Didn't the Dead Sea Scrolls basically deal with old know documents from hebrewish story, almost nothing or nothing about christianity or Jesus and the most interesting new material are daily stuff and apokalyptic stuff of the local sect anyways ?

C'mom, Wong, you know the answer; an anti-gay bigot who can not find another way to justify his ignorancy and pull that out because it is even worst than thinking there is a "risk group" or anything as that, he is just saying if you have a disease, instead of being a victim, you are immora...

Ok, then a JW special, change to Preganacy, after all a mother can transmit AIDS to his son, therefore, motherhood is immoral. And go home.

just repeat "Blood transfusion, that kind people do to save others, also can transmit AIDS.Therefore blood donation is immoral like homesexuality". And go home.

If you're suggesting the rather uninteresting fact that fishermen work in the water counts towards the historicity of a man walking on the same substance, all I can say is that if it makes any sense at all, its pretty thin. Historicity ? In no momment I ever argue about historicity of any deed of j...

THe fisherman : people living from sailing are more liked to develop feats related to water; as a man walking over the water is surelly special. Now historical miracles ? You mean, miracles like healing can be basead on a realistic act such a doctor and such ? So you classify "authentic" a...

Isnt a bit far fetched this notion that miracles can only be a few modest helpful thing ? Jesus himself did a good number of things who are just a show off such as turning water in wine in one party (that is just show off, people are not starving at all, they are in a party, jesus just saved the hos...

To be nitpicker, The Genisis is not made of several paraboles; they have some, but overal Abraham story is more a mythological epic than anything. And Faery tales are a style of writting that appeared much latter, they are more like popular narratives, not as the official religious texts, they descr...

Of course it would never be perfect when we compare Blair to Tatcher, but this last year a Brazilian was killed by the English police because he would be a terrorist (and the only thing he did was having a jacket and be dark skinned) when they started a "shoot to kill" style of action (not...

Not the end of the world, right ?

I am talking obviously about the First critics - i even said it. Before the TIME review.

While i agree the this image sucks and I have no hope for the movie, the first critics just have no idea what he is talking about and I can not figure anything bad about it from him - V is indeed not an hero, and an hero is not a guy who is kissed by the pretty girl. And V is a vile terrorist who do...

Ah yes, Metamorphosis and the giant cockroach Altough I think Kafka greatest work is the Hunger Artist- yes. If you ever read Kafka diary or mostly, his letter to his father you end with the impression that Dostoievisky created Kafka. and I can not understand the comentary given in this topic that ...

In my opinion Brothers Karamozov is the greatest work of Dostoievisky, followed by Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and Thed Underground Man (Not sure which english title for this one). Amazing works which give us the taste of the Future (Kafka).

Interesting note: Horner has apparently never proposed his "scavenger T. Rex" theory in any scientific publication. He's very much just making noise to de-wank Rex a bit. Yes, My brother and I are members of a emailing list of paleontologists (well, more my brother) and a few years ago so...

I hope this isn't used as an excuse to increase deforestation of the area. Brazilian politics did not even cared about it - in fact there 2 years that I heard this story about the caborn holes being smaller than we thought - and there is no difference at all. There is simple no political will and t...

If you have time, Search for Unfinished Tales and there is also serie of notes by Christopher Tolkien and the Atlas who can give you usefull information.

It basically stems from the ancient idea that words hold power. I'm not sure where it comes from, or when it sprouted, but it probably has to do with recignizing how important language is. There's alot of it in mythology; the concept of 'true names', or magic words. Simple from the fact that until ...
