how is it we have so few coping skills in western civ?
In Western European countries like Spain and Italy, there is still a very strong family setup, so that in times of crisis, the family all pull together and help out. In the UK, this was really eroded away when the populace began to migrate from rural to urban areas, during the Ind. Rev. In the US, a mobile workforce, long work hours, wage inequality, and other economic factors tend to mean that family cohesion is difficult, and as a result there is far more marriage breakdown, child abuse and street crime than might be expected in other Western areas. So my answer to your question is: it is not really like that all over Western civilization, and where it is, the best that can be done is to change those factors that dissolve the family setup (political rhetoric and tough crime legislation is not the answer IMO)
Can literature really change anything in the world?
Not directly.
Has any piece of literature changed your opinions/views?
Of Course. (and for what it’s worth, I think that literature has changed, and continues to change, the world. I’m thinking of anything from the The Bhagavad Gita to The Federalist Papers)
What has had more influence on western thought/culture (that may be two questions): the Homeric Epics or the Bible?
easy... the Bible... its sold more copies and has a much greater readership... and people study the Bible their whole lives... not too many people study the homeric epics their entire life.
If you had a confederate flag, would it be worth the risk to lower it when neo-nazis like richard butler die? (just for a gag)... or would you rather not stake your reputation on this joke?
I wouldn't do it, who are you playing the joke on? It doesn't seem like a good joke.
What's the best practical joke you've ever played on somebody?
whoopy-cushion on the organist in an uptight small town Baptist church
which practical joke has backfired the worst for you?
This guy, we'll call him "Jeff" at work complained that he thought his cubicle was getting smaller (which it wasn't). So we decided to make it smaller, every couple of days we would inch the cubicle walls closer together, we made up a calender and sold days for a dollar and whichever day Jeff noticed - that person would win the money. Jeff is notorious for being oblivious to his surroundings at one point he leaned back in his chair and hit his head on the file cabinet half the people in the room had to leave as not to laugh in his face. Anyways we had to give the guy the money because he made though the whole calender without noticing. The last day he was on the phone and a couple people got on either side of his file cabinets and pushed them so the file cabinets blocked him in his cube then we gave him the money and told him the whole story.
Is it true that humans are the only mammals that drink milk after infancy?
Yea, I just read somewhere we are not meant to drink milk as an adult. But I can't live without milk. Even as a child I consumed too much milk and ended up a giant in my classes.
What are the skills you have that absolutely no one else has?
I can kill a conversation with swift ease... but only if i'm not trying...
Its not exclusive to me... but its rare.
I used to play first person shooter video games using only the keyboard... and be extremely good... I played Rogue Spear with two fingers on page up and page down and two on the arrow keys.... and the other hand on left hand shift, ctrl, alt and space...
I just found it easier...
what completely useless skills do you have that nearly no one else has?
