Now I'm confused. If you merely agree with me, why are you convinced that the concept is an oxymoron??? Because I think what I'm saying nationalism is and what you say it is are different. <TD class="m
And let's face it Dabe, even if you DID garden professionally, how does that make your contributions to this (or any other) debate less valid? The way I see it, ED's comments must derive from one of two possible motives: 1. He can develop no counter-argument to your position other than to insult you personally; or 2. He
And here's the key. LW appears to see two distinct strata of citizenship - (1) her use of 'we' / 'our', identifying supposedly bona fide citizens, and (2) immigrants. The former (however they might actually be identified; maybe we should ask the native Americans or the aboriginal people of Australia) 'invite' the latter to come a
I approve. I'm an avid watcher of those "Nanny" shows. There seems to be no shortage of worthless parents and their animal offspring. ZAP THEM ALL!
wasn't referring to one people ruling over another but specifically to one people in itself. Any other peoples in the area would not be part of the resulting pan-nationalist entity. Pan-slavism is nationalistic because Slavs are of the same bloodline. It has nothing to do with culture. In fact, I tried to explain that a culture
As for the article being enjoyable, I have tried to point out that the subject isn't. I said the article was enjoyable. Never said anything about the subject.
Why do you appear so scared of diversity, LW? There is a huge richness to be found, both in the similarities within and the differences between the various languages of the world. Imposing a monolingual culture in any particular corner of it is ostensibly forcing a specific, restricted, culturally dictated view of the world upon its members. For
The idea is oxymoronic because the idea of one people of one culture having political hegemony over another people of another culture to be contrary to the concept of nationalism. For example, what can be considered nationalistic about Pan Slavicism, regardless of who dominates it? With the exception of the Serbs and Croats, they all have their own languages. Each nation (which I distinguish from "state" - a poltical entity) has its own history and t

One of the things that I have been playing with this morning is Microsoft Terraserver. At that website, you can type in an address (in the US), and then you can get an aerial photograph of that place. I looked at an aerial photo of my neighborhood from 1991. The area certainly has changed (as well as my house.) </TABL
Enjoyable article. I just find the idea of pan-nationalism to be, well, oxymoronic.
This is interesting. The only exposure I get to the White Sox is the 15-20 times that they play the Twins each year. If you have WGN on cable it is possible to watch a few more games a year. WGN plays Both Cubs and White Sox games. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=

Hey this reminds me of my very un-PC gay guy joke. What's the number one pickup line at a gay bar? May I push your stool in - ha funny and gross. Sorry to lower everyone to my level but I couldn't resist. Well, to bring everyone a lot lower... What do gay men and and St. Louis Card
Being of yellow origin, it wouldn't have had the same impact since the west has it in their heads that asian life is cheaper than white man's life. Apparently the Yellow Man feels the same way about his own people, considering they've killed many times more of their own than the white man ever has.</fon
Or she altered your face perhaps? Just kidding. Ha! It just dawned upon me that I'd rather have the grand prize than a thousand consolation prizes.
Camel Toe Annie Speak of the devil - I was just mentioned Camel Toe Annie to my wife the other day. Take a guess which two word phrase I used to describe the character?
hmm what makes you think that all gay males are polygamous? This article has nothing to do with homosexuality. It's about the male ego.
well there goes my nomad theory. lol Keep in mind I'm only 35. I also see a move sometime in the next few years. Possibly back into the Chicago area, or to Indiana.
Two possible reasons I could see why a heterosexual male could be nervous around a homosexual male, in no particular ranking: 1. The straight dude really does think gay men are attracted to all men. 2. The heterosexual man is nervous that if a homosexual man mistakes him as one of their own, women might also make the same mistake. For the record, I've actually heard a trio of gay men looking at straight men (some were hand in ha
NJForever, I just revised the article to include the original article. But looking over your response, it wouldn't seem to make a difference.
Comments?
I just looked at an article that criticized heterosexual men for being upset thinking that homosexual men were attracted to them (personally, if what I've seen and heard is true, the perceptions of heterosexuals aren't always unwarrented). While this has nothing to do with homosexuals or homosexuality, I thought it made an interesting point about the male ego: <

Well, Jamie, it looks like the Sox are kicking ass and taking names-so far, at least. I've got to call you on your Frank Thomas thoughts. think that it is interesting how well the White Sox seem to do whenever Frank Thomas is on the shelf. He started this season injured, and the White Sox are among the hottest teams
