I heard a report on this in Germany where members of churches get tithed. A German Roman Catholic was complaining because when Lutherans get tithed, the money stays in Germany to be used for community projects, building work etc. but R.C. money goes direct to Rome and so German taxation was being spent possibly on…

Ha! I thought that was a picture of Mel Gibson.
The owners allow that cat to sit where they prepare food and eat? That's just nasty.
A psychologist would have had a field day with that woman. She wasn't a professional archaeologist and had been going on about this car park for years until the University of Leicester decided it was worth digging up. When it turned out she was right about location (good for her), she thought she had to be right about…
That makes sense. The second hand thing sounds necessary. Two things I still can't fathom 1) the buddy system; teenagers shouldn't have to be responsible for that, it's both unwise and unfair 2) People voted for Jim Bob? I mean *googles* he had 11 kids when he got elected, so arguably didn't have time to serve the…
This family are a phenomenon I just heard about from this article (foreigner) and I can't understand how the parents can possibly afford to support at any given time, about 15 children. It says something quite vague on Wikipedia about investments and rents. It must be very cheap living in Arkansas.
I got the impression the guy who wrote it had to have been drunk at the time. His grammar is not great, and he loses all sense of paragraphing half way through his rant. That's an expensive education to not know the difference between 'less' and 'fewer'.
I felt it didn't even dealt with his life outside of sexuality very well. There was a bloody great machine in a shed which whirred and clicked and had wires coming out of it, but the people who made the movie assumed those who had chosen to see a film about cryptography, couldn't possibly understand it. Cue actors…
I think you are right and I was being overly negative for a Friday. that was more of a Monday-morning-before-caffeine opinion.
You say that, but genetically aren't blinkered parents quite likely to have blinkered children? The kind who say their university performance being poor is not due to faulty primary and secondary education but due to the professors' politics.
It's not really a false distinction, but it seems that dividing History into US versus non US is not the best for students in the first place. Because then if you are not especially interested, the only thing you hear about is American history, and then world context can get lost. I had to learn British history in a…
I'm curious, what did Coach Herodotus deem teach-worthy? Did he just make you watch a bunch of WWII films without any context as to what caused the war? Possibly accidentally slipping a Vietnam film?
I once wrote a piece of coursework about how Macbeth was written to suck up to James I who was scared of witches and descended from Macduff. It helps you write things that for a teenager are quite insightful and from a selfish point of view, get you higher grades.
This is horrifying; shutting down debate at source. "The history of the state was all singing about Surreys with fringes on top, because I said so! What? You're going to ask your History teacher? Good Luck!"
This is what I don't understand about the bill. Syphilis is curable with antibiotics, so why would you have to prove that it wasn't in a communicable phase? Just get it treated. If this were 1900, provided you didn't have to disclose publicly, this could be considered a useful public healthcare measure. In this day…
I still think Cate Blanchett was robbed.
I thought Jessica Chastain's performance in Zero Dark Thirty was very good that year, and I quite wanted her to win, if only because she gave a speech about women in Hollywood when she accepted (I think) a Golden Globe.
The Boleyns were found to be behind the annual flowers which have been sent anonymously to the Tower of London for the last century addressed to Queen Anne Boleyn on her death day. So your relatives are still knocking around.
I think what the article doesn't get across is that this was long thought to have originally been a portrait of Jane Seymour. However, when Elizabeth I came to the throne, there were no portraits of her mother around, and wanting to be seen as supportive to the monarch, whoever owned the painting, had Anne Boleyn's…
I recently got a new phone with the same technology on it which shames me into walking, and now it makes me really angry when I walk anywhere without it, because it isn't counting my steps. From that point of view a fit bit seems like a really good idea.
