Hello, Canadians! So, I'm planning to go to graduate school about two years from now, but my options as to where to go are very open. I am looking at schools in Canada particularly. I wonder if you have any advice about the Canadian eduction system?

Okay, so I've got a bunch of Marilyn Manson in my mp3 player now, and I'm just not getting what all the negative fuss is about. It's good jogging music, at least ^_^ Seriously, I'm curious. I hear all the time that Marilyn Manson's music is satanic, that it's a negative influence on kids...

I've noticed that one this forum and elsewhere there are a lot of assertions made with little evidence provided to back them up. This is especially lamentable in a history forum. One of the easiest ways of supporting your argument is to refer back to reliable sources. So, with no further ado...

Aw, poor Dave Obey (D-Wis). I guess he's more accustomed to midwestern politeness. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/06/21.html#a3557 Out of the videos linked, the five minute one gives the clearest view of what's going on, I think.

"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns. These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as...

"BERLIN - Russian President Vladimir Putin told a German newspaper that Allied forces can’t be absolved of blame for horrors during World War II, and he noted in particular the massive bombing of Dresden in the final months." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7749312/ Putin's a crafty one.

"I think it's high time that we remembered that we have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution. I think it is high time that we remembered that the Constitution, as amended, speaks not only of the freedom of speech but also of trial by jury instead of trial by accusation...those of us who...

So, I just watched Hotel Rwanda, and I'm feeling more furious than usual about politics and international relations...which I suppose was the purpose of the movie. I already knew of the situation, of course, and many others, but this viewing stirred it all up again. My question is this: what...
