Yes. When anybody in the world can become a Tory Party member and thus enfranchised to elect the British Tory Prime Minister, the notion of democracy in Great Britain looks iffy.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 5:33 pm...as Monbiot points out, there may be a bit of a credibility problem there...

Re: Classical Music.
Autumn Leaves in the style of another 10 classical composers. UQfTkNmdv4c The Schubert and Satie variations were my favourites. Some subtitles are humorous too. For instance Haydn: "borderline rude" (2:20) "wholesome conclusion" (2:24) Schubert: "ominous line" (3:45) alluding to Erlkönig? Sturm & D...

Re: All things Boris: has it really come to this?
It doesn't matter who finishes up as the next Tory Prime Minister. It'll be a Tory Prime Minister, and all Tory Prime Ministers take their orders from the same mobsters.

Re: Classical Music.
Back to Mozart's Zauberflöte again. Specifically, Diana Damrau's renditions of the Queen of the Night aria. Nobody expresses the utter, unmitigated fury of the mother aimed at her daughter better than her. Just when you think she topped it she raises the performance with a fitting and convincing sna...

Re: Should Lecturers on Adult Campuses Be Allowed Affairs With Students?
Everything will change after the coming nuclear war and population collapse. Never said only one thing is gonna change. Also I think education is over-valued. There is biological intelligence. Those with it will ferret out info for themselves. In the interent era. Those without forever live in fear...

Jones says he can only pay $2m. Someone working with the prosecution says he has $270m. Maybe Trump can top him up with the rest.

Re: Should Lecturers on Adult Campuses Be Allowed Affairs With Students?
Much smaller population with much lower social velocity I think the ordinary patriarchal nature of society will return. A few decades of cultural marxism can't wipe out natural human relations. Um, Not having sex with the person who marks their papers will do that? You need to go into detail to mak...

Re: Historic Jesus, was he really an apocalypse reacher?
So a recent post round here reminded me that Jesus, insofar as he may bave been a historical character, is thought to have been an apocalyptic preacher... Now, I don't remember if that's really the image given in the gospels (I'm purposefully omitting the paulinian works and revelations) I'm wonder...

Re: Scientific Proof Of God
Only to serve a point about internet anonymity. As for your twisted sexuality, no one cares... ...except you. Tell me why closet gays are the most rabidly anti-gay.

Re: Should Lecturers on Adult Campuses Be Allowed Affairs With Students?
Much smaller population after the human die off and intellectual crunch by the loss of lineages that depended on caesareans to give birth to the nephilim who are like smart mules without modern technology which the collapse will deny them. You got to realise the scale of catastrophe for humanity on...

Re: Should Lecturers on Adult Campuses Be Allowed Affairs With Students?
Those who bring in the power dynamic argument forget life is not fair except in Communist countries where people pay a heavy price for the level playing field. So called communist countries were and are bereft of level playing fields. Why shouldn't pretty or handsome folks get a higher grade than t...

Re: Should Lecturers on Adult Campuses Be Allowed Affairs With Students?
I was in a position like this when I was tutoring a subject in uni. I could have shagged a student, but chose not to for ethical reasons. Fucking idiot. Missed out on a nice chick. If you were tutoring rather than lecturing, then presumably you would not have had the opportunity to give grades, so ...
