In his book "Natural Right and History," Leo Strauss, who taught many of the men who taught me political philosophy, coined the phrase "reductio ad Hitlerum" meaning that a view is not "refuted by the fact that it happens to have been shared by Hitler."
I hope I don't ever have to see any more debates about whether Hitler was a vegetarian or not.

This is something I wrote that is too long for the comment boxes:
Sometimes guys will seek out to be friends with girls first and then get romantic, but then it seems like some females think that unless you try to shag them within the next 24 hours, you can only ever be friends and never have anything romantic with them, so then guys like Bill will react to that, and might try to date a Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-1076643141246218172004-02-13T13:32:00.000+10:002004-02-13T13:34:50.373+10:00NO MORE WHEAT, RYE OR BARLEY FOR ME!

It's about the Sims Online. Here's a quote from the article:
Alphaville, the game's fictional city, could have gone in any number of directions, depending on the arbitrary decisions of the online game players who make up its people through their chosen "avatars", or game characters.

I got my results back today, I got distinctions for all my subjects. I was a bit worried about one of them, the exam for it was rediculously hard and I wasn't sure if I'd passed, but it turns out I did well.

Ah...premillenial dispensationalism.

After a few different events, I recently realised something that I find terribly amusing.

One of my numerous email accounts is subscribed to a couple of self-help 'pop psychology' email lists.

Phew, that took me like a week or something. I'm glad I got that done though. Now I can get back to doing normal stuff. I probably should update my website too, I haven't done that for a while. Maybe I'll wack some more more stuff up tomorrow.Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-873016252003-01-12T21:27:00.000+10:002003-01-12T21:27:42.566+10:00Big Clean-up
Recently I decided to give my room a complete overhaul. See, my usual method is to place things on every available space forming huge piles, and when the piles get too big I take them and hide them in boxes under my bed. I do this all subconsciously of course, I don't realise that I'm doing this. Every now and then I wander into my room and wonder where all the piles of junk have Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-867830092003-01-01T20:59:00.000+10:002003-01-01T20:59:52.510+10:00January: Book-Writing Month?
I've haven't been as productive these holidays as I would have liked, so I thought I might use the rest of them to write a book. I've tried doing this before, but I think I know why I never finished them. Last semester for one of my subjects for an item of assessment I did what is known as a Motivational Pattern. It's a kind of psychological thingy that tells you (Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-866984042002-12-31T00:53:00.000+10:002002-12-31T00:53:54.766+10:00Scientific or Magical?
well I'm back again, I was very tempted to just stop this line of thought and go on to talk about something else, but no, I want to finish what I started. Now, I ended my last little rant-thingy thinking about what makes a "magical" expanation different from a "scientific" explanation. I've been thinking about this and have been quite surprised that I don't think there's Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-866241522002-12-29T00:00:00.000+10:002002-12-29T00:00:57.423+10:00Atheism and Aliens
Hello, today I'm going to talk about something I think about every now and then, and I think I mentioned briefly on a discussion list, which is Atheists who think that it is perfectly reasonable to believe in aliens but not in God (Notice that I said simply "God" and not "God or gods," which seems to be a rather silly habit that many atheists have developed.

Dick Larger was a gritty, hardnosed cop. He was so gritty
and hardnosed that tradesmen would often come up to him
and sharpen their tools against his face. Grind, grind, grind
they would go, in a pseudo-sexual kind of way. Of course
Dick was a very sexual man, he had a whole-lotta-lovin’ to
give. Not that he was a fairy-boy or anything. Oh, sure, he
might have sleptRhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-853723172002-12-02T21:50:00.000+10:002002-12-02T22:10:34.000+10:00Useless Trivia!!!

he is a Scientologist.

“Sk8er boi”
My sister really hates this song, so I immensely enjoying
turning the sound up when it comes on the radio, even though
I also find the song somewhat annoying. I also find this song
to be very confusing. Look at these lyrics:
He was a boy, she was a girl

This is not obvious at all!

that I failed my driving test? I'm not quite sure why though, I mean,
there were only six deaths, the rest were just seriously injured.

I've been kind of sick at the moment. I've got a dizzy, lightheaded head
and I start to feel tired after reading or looking at something for longer
than two minutes, which is annoying because that is how I spend most
of my day. It makes studying and staring at people who walk past my
house a lot harder than it normally is. I saw the Doctor Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-841696412002-11-07T23:15:00.000+10:002002-11-07T23:15:03.956+10:00I'm wearing pants at the moment
I just had some chick in Egypt start talking to me on ICQ. She started talking in French it looked like, and when I replied she switched to talking in English. I just realised I wrote the word "talking" when I should have written, "writing" or "typing" but I've decided I'm just not going to think about that. Anyway, she was wrting with that kind of English that Rhyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824995839701304137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874457.post-837528802002-10-30T14:15:00.000+10:002002-10-30T14:17:14.000+10:00INSERT HEADLINE HERE
I'm at the CHC library today and I've just borrowed a big pile of books I need for my numerous assignments. You probably won't be hearing much from me for the next three weeks. This computer's doing weird things. The mouse buttons are way too sensitive and it keeps clicking all the time when I don't want it too. No, mouse, don't click over there, I keep saying to myself.
