Its really just another form of terra anyway. By the way, from the Wikipedia article "The two words Terra and Tellus are thought to derive from the formulaic phrase tersa tellus, meaning "dry land"; it may also be related to the similar sounding name of the equivalent Etruscan goddess Cel."...

People who get overly annoyed/irritated/angry at small, in the big scheme of things, completely irrelevant things bug me. I can't possibly know or adjust to every little thing that might bug someone... Also people who get annoyed and don't tell you why but just act angry/annoyed/irritated...

Oh I didn't question the fact that there is probably ultimately no way to know for sure if this is the "real" reality and not just a dream or VR. I simply questioned whether or not that was a useful philosophical assumption/axiom. That is to say, one of the fundamental assumptions of my...

I never quite got that argument. It seems to stem from some sort of superstitious thinking about soul or something. You are the particles that make you up and the chemical messages that are conducted via nerve cells. If an exact replica of you is made, that IS you by definition. Every molecule...

I have to disagree with you there. Some of us care about what is actually true/real. Though I highly sympathize with your argument I could never be enthusiastic about being completely detached from reality. To me what is real has an intrinsic value. Also, even if we were in the matrix there...

You don't :D But then again it is not a very useful philosophical assumption, Descartes ftw

Hahah, yeah I love eboks but I couldn't be without my normal books and my awesome bookshelf either. Those things will never go out of fashion q-: Plus the smell of paper... going to a bookstore But for me, I love both ebooks and normal books :D

Say what??? ?? Really!? That is the most awesome ting evar in the history of history!! Darn I hate all those CDs and DVDs... Also, yaaay eboks :D

Ha! Funny, that reminds me so much of the attitude that most knights took to the indroduction of archers and later gunpowder to the battlefield :D

Is it really tabu in our modern society? I never experienced that. Of course a a while after their death if you knew them it might feel wrong (though not necessarily) (or, duh, during the funeral say) but in general? I know that this is an old Roman custom/saying never to speak ill of the dead...

See, I disagree there. Violence against a kid shouldn't be any resort at all (unless the kid in question is about to murder someone or something). Where I live it is illegal... Spanking a kid sends you to jail if you are detected. Also, thanks about the avatar, I agree Luna is the most...

My opinion: Any form of violence as punishment for kids is abuse (that includes spanked bottoms) scientifically it doesn't work like people think it will either so...

I did not think I would say this but BLEW MY MIND I almost started crying...

I ask thou to CHECK EM for the fun has been DOUBLED! Oh, I realized I have some anti evolution book that some guy forced on me... I'd eat that so as to rid the world of its evil...

Really? I liked the crucible... I would probably say Crime and Punishment by Dostoevski... but then again it is pretty big q-: Hmmm.... Can't think of anything as terrible but small though XD
