Shakespeare's day: once always men as women, some of his plays explicitly require it even today. Japanese Kabuki and Noh: always been that way.

Apparently there was a point somewhere around 2010 when cross-dressing became not only objectionable but "grooming". The only thing t

Spenny really screwed those pronouns up. He told us we must use them because "thee" and "thou" and "thy" indicate more respect for God. But "thee" and "thou" are in fact the familiar forms, what you would use with your family or most intimate friends, whereas "you" and "your" are the honorific forms. He completely bungled

There's a difference between scientific and philosophical inquiry about the nature of reality on the one hand and, on the other, the nihilism of the sociopath. For the latter needs other people: they are the resources that enable him to live beyond his own physical, financial, and emotional means.

I know you are in retirement now and off chasing white and delightsome balls as the stroke count approaches infinity, but there are times when I wish you were a moderator here as well as that other website.

Why is it that Christian bigots think others will see their hatred and conclude, "hey, that's the religion for me and my kids?"

To the contrary. I'm happy! I'm rejoicing because once again Jesus (not to be confused with Jesus) has given the world irrefutable proof that Joseph Smith was a prophet. All those SEC and Big Ten football players who point to the sky when they score a first down must feel foolish now!

Don't think your irony goes unnoticed. Winning a single football game may not be enough to prove divine favor. But I'd bet BYU's win-loss record has been over 50% for decades now, and that--remember the Bell Curve you're always lauding?--cannot be random. It's just sad that you cannot see the implications of that.

I remember the first few times I spent extended times in East and Southeast Asia, where there is a lot of excellent Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto/Animist art. Before returning to my family home, I bought some inexpensive religious statuary as souvenirs. My parents were impressed. They are very TBM but they generally have a good sense of aesthetics, so they put the pieces up in prominent places aroun

I am not a fan of Oliver Stone in general, but as someone who has studied Nixon in depth I his Stone's biographical treatment of the former president is remarkably insightful. And yes, it gives Nixon's childhood environment and experiences the attention they deserve.
