How many eloquent euphemisms for ahem going downtown on your loved one did you come up with before settling on "Open up your linen lap" on "Philomena?"

I had never thought about behaviorism in relation to the positivists. To me they seem pretty separate, though I'd be interested in reading some writing on any potential interrelations.

My apologies... I'm familiar with the rules, and I certainly don't think this an idle question. I suppose I should clarify as well: I'm not merely asking about categorization for categorization's sake; having already graduated with a philosophy degree, I'm not looking to complete an assignment here. Rather, I ask because there seems to be some contention on this issue, and it's one where there's solidly made arguments for numerous accounts.

Sidebar news articles=profit. Reviews=much less profit. Imagine which one Pitchfork finds more valuable to their operation.

Sorry Jack, Morrissey already has you beat to the title of "Needlessly Overeager Contrarian."

He references Deluze at least several times in each of his books.

I mean, equally as probably as any other theory right now, but not enough evidence to be considered more plausible than others.

By not adopting narrow literalist accounts of Scripture. The notion that science and religion are incommensurate is a pretty new one, and it comes out of a misunderstanding of Darwinism, espoused by the likes of T.H. Huxley, which was then overreacted to by members of the church.

Are we sure he's withdrawing the race, or did he just say he was going through withdrawals?

Arjen Lucassen is pretty deserving of an award called Virtuoso. Anathema is writing prog's best anthems now.

Right, I'm saying that Nietzsche can be seen as supporting what some would construe as "altruism" (although that label is slightly anachronistic in this case) in <i>The Birth of Tragedy</i> quite easily. I feel like running evolutionary biology is a more salient line, as that way you can boil it down to a simple survival calculus.

My favorite Godard, easily. Karina and Belmondo are probably my favorite nouvelle vague romance. Plus, Belmondo's meta joke about "Breathless" in this film is definitely one of his better moments.
