    Do Brits make the best breakfasts in the world?

    I always found the beans-on-toast aspect particularly comforting aspect of British breakfasts after staying out all night. Sweet, sweet pap! But the fried bread is nasty, sorry. but I'm fond of the Berlin "breakfast" - the all-you-can-eat, unhurried meal on weekends from 11-2 with a vast array...

    Youth (Sub)Culture Films/Documentarys

    Liquid Sky - about heroin addicts, 1980s androgynous fashion kids, and space aliens (okay maybe a bit fictionalized, but awesome anyway) which makes me think of Requiem for a dream - windows into several subcultures, including junkies, maybe, although it's a bit individualistic and also...

    Militant hip-hop?

    they are militant because they advocate armed overthrow of the government. You don't have to sound angry when you say "Tell him it's a boom in child prostitution When he show up at the stroll give him lead restitution You could throw a twenty in a vat 'o hot oil When he jump in after it watch...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    do you mean before Eli made him get on his knees in front of the congregation and scream "I abandoned my son!" and smacked him across the face a few times, or after? :) I love that movie!! I just saw Persepolis, which was truly lovely. Really a beautiful movie. totally satisfying.

    The Record Industry's Decline

    isn't it just that artists have better contracts with those groups - so they make more money (a higher percentage off the door or per shirt or whatever) than they do off copyrights? Or am I missing something (also read it quickly)?

    Is Ron Paul a Republican Ralph Nader?

    it doesn't seem reasonable or consistent with the general claim of libertarians, unless libertarians don't generally consider women to be full citizens or fully human.. which.. maybe I've answered my own question? (leaving aside the word "reckless" which doesn't seem to me to have much to do...

    Is Ron Paul a Republican Ralph Nader?

    I think Ron Paul is more of a 21st century Huey Long populist (with a weird obsession with Gold and a lotta religion) I know he runs as a libertarian, but the dude is not a libertarian when it comes to women's rights over their bodies, black people's liberties (dude says he would have voted...

    Anatomy of a Murder - rape attitudes

    yes that's what's weird about it. You (the viewer) are obviously not meant to empathize with the woman who is gang-raped or the woman who travolta attempts to rape. They barely register as people at all, and are basically used as symbols of his inner turmoil. it's kinda like the way Oliver...

    Anatomy of a Murder - rape attitudes

    Never seen the movie, but it sounds like Lee Remick is meant to be an ambivalent kind of character (meaning that's the way the audience is supposed to respond to her). Do you think she was intended to be a sympathetic character? Also, is she sexy/presented as sexy? Because that prevents the...

    My Fellow Americans - Dissensian roadtrip

    that is an interesting discussion, sometimes. But that is not at all how HMLT is using the term. but using that term as an insult (at least HMLT seems to think it reflects poorly on HC when applying the term that way) denies the nature of it as work - "goods traded for sexual services." Is...

    My Fellow Americans - Dissensian roadtrip

    The word "slut" is not so valuable, and may harm or obscure as much as it clarifies. The point is, using terms like "slut" even more than prostitute (although I think using that term to describe what you are talking about is an insult to real prostitutes whose job has nothing to do with...

    good record shops in laahndan

    There used to be a nice little record shop down the far end of Chapel Market in Islington. I forget the name but it's opposite a string of all-you-can-eat vegetarian Indian buffet places. (though if you're at Angel then Afghan Kitchen is it really). Berwick street and surroundings is pretty...
