    Since we recently discussed gun control in the US and I just stumbled upon an excellent and thought-provoking article by Sam Harris, I thought I'd share it here-> http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the- … of-the-gun

    He attacks many positions of both the left and the right as being untenable, and makes several points that shows the complexity of the issue rather well.

  2. A transatlantic free trade zone is about to be negotiated between the EU and the US. That would meen no taxes on CDs od DVDs coming over the big pond any more. Happened to me three or four times.

    Interesting!

    However, this comment - "It is not clear how long the talks will take, but similar trade deals have involved years of negotiations" - makes me not want to hold my breath for a deal!

  5. Anyone Roman Catholic around here? Or has a Lutheran agnostic to anounce the new Pontifex to the score collecting world?

    The new pope looks fine and dandy, but why can't they choose a younger and more liberal one?
    I am extremely serious.

    It's a hardline Jesuit, mordically against same-sex marriage, euthanasia and abortion.

  8. Well, he is associated with Liberation Theology, so mabe that's a good sign. The Roman church has become less European tonight.

    That's not necessarily a good thing: most of the Roman-Catholic hardliners are from South America and Africa.
    I'm not optimistic about any more liberal course any time soon.

    I'm comforted by the thought that there is (probably) a universe out there where the Vatican city is full of libraries, hospitals, schools and museums as opposed to old men with silly beliefs and hats.

  12. You know - they can do whatever they please as long as everybody makes a clear distinction between a clerical sacrament and civil marriage according to secular law.

    I almost wish Jesus was real so he could come back and bitchslap everyone in the Vatican.
  24. Real as the son of God or real as a living historical person? The latter is actually pretty much out of debate biggrin

    I can see it now, he'd land from thje sky heavily shattering the floors then clap his massive hands together shattering every window in Vatican city then he'd bunch his huge and mighty muscles for one earth destroying effort as he brings both fists back behind his head and swinging them forth to hit the ground creates a 22.9 on the ricter scale shock wave that destroys all of the vatican and all the priests and god botherers fall into a hole in the earth never to be seen again.


    ... uhm

    The index contained 6000 books when it was finally abolished in 1966. I'm pretty sure a lot of these are indeed to be found in the Vatican library. For example the works of Immanuel Kant.
