    Science Fiction

    "The Private Life of Genghis Kahn" is a great story, especially the ending with Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolongued. Btw, Gregor, have you read the Dirk Gently series?

    Reading List

    How about something by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). Also, perhaps something by Nietzsche, or "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, could be a good addition to the historical section. :)

    postmodernism creative

    I did mine in the form of a fictitious dialogue. I mean, I did opening remarks and all that and then a bit of a justification of why I used a dialogue before going into it. Is that allowed? I mean there are a lot of articles etc which are dialogues or even parodies (there was this great Matrix...

    American Idol and Autralian Idol

    Narrator, a truly inspired post. There's just one thing that you might want to change, the words. First of all, I have, perhaps naively, assumed that we were still arguing about what we were meant to be arguing about, alluded to by my comment about every 2-3 posts that your wandering off topic...

    Cyclic nature of powerplay?

    There's the general argument that one group having power creates an oppressed underclass, which then desires power, overthrowing the oppressor, this revolution ultimately "donning the robes of the tyrant it saught to abolish".

    Powerplay - Julius Caesar

    Does anyone know wether or not examining powerplay between author and audience is looked favourably on, or even relevant? :)

    American Idol and Autralian Idol

    MUS2, if you're going to keep butting in incessently, then at least have the courtesy to include pirates/ninjas/vampires in your posts. I wanted to know where they came from simply because I was curious, and I wanted to see the level of bias (you probably learnt about it in history). However, I...

    BNW BR Stuff

    This thread has some techniques http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14737 Here's a few others. BR: The owl is a symbol of wisdom, the fact that the owl is artificial alludes to the notion that the wisdom by which the conquest of the natural by the artificial...

    American Idol and Autralian Idol

    First of all, you didn't present the facts I asked for (argument 2.) and you didn't provide a source so I could check (srgument 1). The whole way through I had been telling you you had been attacking a minor argument of my major case (for about 3 pages), I just realised that the minor argument...

    American Idol and Autralian Idol

    Sorry narrator, just a few minor things to point out. 1. Could you please post the source of your facts (I don't particularly trust your word). 2. You've only provided quantitative facts for less than half of the artists listed (all who have been Pop Stars). You can't compare qualitative with...

    Using "+" instead of "'and"

    Narrator, if you want everyone to be nice and open minded, why did you attack my original post which really was none of your business. As for calling me stubborn, remember it takes two to tango. Anyway, sorry to hipsta_jess and anyone else who got bored stiff/irritated by the argument, in...

    blade runner and bnw

    I would say that it also reflects humanity's moevements between the extremes of nature and artificiality (contrast between the Savage Reservation and the New World, and to some extent the contrast between the Nexus and the rest of society). I'm not completely sure about this, but I also believe...

    Critical part of John Donne

    Minai, I'm pretty sure I've got a good balance now, but at the moment some of my analysis of Donne's actual work is done while looking at the critics. Is there any problem with this, or should they be kept separate?

    Using "+" instead of "'and"

    If you don't believe its bad bos English narrator, then why did you attack my original, completely innocent post? Also, contractions (which you apparently support) are pretty much the same as +'s for reasons I've already described. As for me insisting to argue about things I'm unqualified to, I...

    American Idol and Autralian Idol

    Narrator, stop telling me to find it for you and just look, I'm pretty sure its on the previous page. Btw, mus2, watch out for the Swedish bug, I heard they can also cause infected computers to crash. Its like they think we're virus beta testers or something. :)

    Using "+" instead of "'and"

    I to am sorry anti, I can't promise to give up being a pomosexual, but I can promise to try to avoid going off topic and speaking ghetto. As I explained earlier narrator, contractions are not in the interest of fairness, you even said yourself that they weren't endorsed by the BOS, which they...
