Re: English Language:Decaying?
Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have politcal and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer....Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation..... Pretentious Diction. Wor...

In the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, Behemoth is translated directly as hippopotamus. It has the same root as the general word for beast. It may also be related to the ancient Egyptian word for hippopotamus. Leviathan is not quite so straightforward. It seems to be related to the Hebrew word f...

Language develops, I understand that. But think about the original word for a moment... ...to miss the target... If the world decided to universally agree on that meaning once more, what would that mean? Well it might mean that people begin to ask just exactly WHAT the target IS... In doing that, t...

My take on free will is that it is the original sin. In the garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge. The serpent told them that if they ate from the tree they would be like God's. So right there, they had the choice to do good or do evil and they chose evil. thus, ...

I am nervous about the Eagles playing the Cardinals. They've been completely unable to play well consistently this season. They've had a few good games, and now I expect them to blow this one. Or it could just be that I'm a Philadelphia fan, and therefore expect to be disappointed (I still can't qui...

Re: Free Will
4. If, therefore, we conclude that people have free will, we must conclude that there is something non-physical, which can nevertheless influence the physical world. Ah, but how do you conclude people have free will? Whether you actually had free will or were "following the script," would...

Not sure exactly which section this belongs in, but it relates somewhat to religion, so I figure I'll stick it here. Warning: This is basically going to be a long ramble, just throwing some thoughts out there and seeing what kind of responses I get. So, recently my friend has gotten me thinking abou...

Hi Bob, I haven't been to see you in a while, I hope things are going well. I'm not sure what I'm doing with my life. At this point, I don't really have any ambitions, I don't really have any drive. I'm currently in training to get into a career, but I don't really have any plan, or clear picture of...

My Granddad was not only a brilliant engineer, who designed planes for the U.S. government, but was also a pilot in WWII. On one mission (I don't know the details of it) there was an explosion and he got shrapnel lodged in his skull. In spite this, he survived, fathered 12 children, and lived to be ...

I've got three scars. The most noticeable is by my left eye, from when my brother was trying to teach me how to swing a baseball bat... I got a little too close behind him, and he didn't realize... and he was using a metal bat. I had to get stitches for that one. I have one on my elbow from falling ...

There has been evidence on this board that Ender's Game has been ruined by having to read it in school... Let her know how awesome Shakespeare really is before some awful High School teacher ruins it for her. Even if you don't read it before being taught it, watching a good play or movie adaptation...
