Working on a consensus... an example

by Phantom Stranger in

over the last two days, i participated in two threads about the terror attack in spain.

while my motive in participating was to introduce a moderating influence (and i did start out by agreeing with yeru!

), in the end i became a part of the problem - reacting to name-calling, vicious verbal attacks, and general statements that may or may not have been aimed at me.

One of my biggest loves is politics. But I've learned that no matter how hard people try, conversations in the political arena end up devolving into adolescent name-calling matches. I do everything in my power to stay out of them (I'm not always successful), 'cuz all they end up doing is pissing me off. It's been a tough lesson to learn. I wasn't in the threads of which you speak, but I'm sorry (but not surprised) that this happened. I hope everyone can forgive one another and start fresh.

Do you have a favorite piece of music?

by MorpheuzX in

i don't know if this thread has been covered before; do you have a favorite song or piece of music or performer?

i know the question seems juvenile.

but, i'm curious.. mine, i think, is a tie between wladyslaw szpilman's performance of chopin's nocturne in c-sharp minor and angela hewitt's version of bach's goldberg variations -- the aria is divine!.

So many to choose from, but my all-time favorite is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Of course it was the best year, I was born then!

Now I feel ancient. I graduated from junior high that year.

Victory for Terrorism

by Yerusalyim in

the terrorists won a great victory in spain.

mind you, i'm all for the democratic process...it's great...and had the spanish decided to part ways with the us of it's own volition, great!...however, the socialists were project to not win a majority in this weekends election...that is until the terrorist attack.

now, with the socialist coming into power...and the promise to both withdraw the 1300 spanish soldiers from iraq and to part ways with the us on foriegn policy we can look for more such attacks in other countries.

I try so hard to stay out of political threads, but I can't help but pop in and tell you that you are right on the money again, Yeru.
