@KarlMckracken@OGRolandRat The only maps on which one would be likely to locate Wessex are found in histories of the Heptarchy and books about Thomas Hardy.
@D2Robot@cozy_squirrel@FarisFromArabia So your argument boils down to: Except for Greece and Rome, white people didn't accomplish much until after Greece and Rome. Fair.
@savageleftist @Momad0na Oh, you think you have the right to kill a baby, and you're mad that we stopped pretending the Constitution guarantees that grotesque "right". Funny.
@rottsbot @CathyYoung63@TianaTheFirst You probably don't grasp this, but whatever he decides, millions will disagree with him--so he should receive 'scorn' from someone no matter what? Have you thought this through?
@nothingsmonstrd@HeerJeet After all the violence of the left from Robespierre down the present day, you have to be either obscenely dishonest or fathomlessly ignorant to write such a thing.
@ChristophSouza @NothingButGravy@CathyYoung63 Adults are arguing about whether letting thousands of (among other things) potential terrorists into their country is a good idea. An argument worth having.
An adult would not describe this as an argument about whether someone is 'bashing' people or not.
@caro@Bershidsky@CathyYoung63@NewLiberalsPod I don't like the collocation 'culture and wealth' but at the very latest, we have to draw the line at the building of Chartres. Not "well past" the Middle Ages.
@joe_rigney@IVMiles From an allusion to people clapping "during a debate" to whatever ancient Hebrew practice the psalm is referring to? What a stretch.
@ToryPapist The Decline of Merry England is a good expression of the Red Tory point of view, had no idea Atwood would belong to that tradition. (I tried reading The Robber Bride years ago but lost interest....)
@hamaan23 @KaiserGrace1918 @BuyBookBuyBook Thank you. It's easy to speculate but there not only isn't proof of Franco's guilt in any of those cases, there isn't even very good reason to suspect him in the first place.
@LicenseToCat I have very vivid memories of the years 1996-7, when Bocelli was at the height of his fame. Wonderful songs.
Meanwhile, just made an amazing discovery: Caesar sung by a baritone! With Richter conducting and Beverly Sills singing Cleopatra!!!!

@KaiserGrace1918 @BuyBookBuyBook Yes, I see what you mean. Rather like everyone standing between Tiberius and the throne conveniently dying before Augustus.
@KaiserGrace1918 @BuyBookBuyBook The only plane crash I know about is the one that killed Sanjurjo. Never heard suspicion of Franco wrt that. I have heard all the theories about the death of Balmes, but they too seem to fall apart on inspection.
