Homosexuality is not 'normal.' On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm; therein rests its eternally revolutionary character. Note I do not call it a challenge to the idea of the norm. Queer theorists - that wizened crew of flimflamming free-loaders - have tried to take the poststructuralist tack of claiming that there is no norm, since everything is relative and contingent. This is the kind of silly bind that word-obsessed people get into when they are deaf, dumb, and blind to the outside world. Nature exists, whether academics like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single, relentless rule. That is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction. Penis fits vagina: no fancy linguistic game - playing can change that basic fact. However, my libertarian view, here as in regard to abortion, is that we have not only the right, but the obligation to defy nature's tyranny. The highest human identity consists precisely in such assertions of freedom against material limitation. by texas holdem poker

The banality of evil. by poker stars

Philosophy, beginning in wonder ... is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. Its mind is full of air that plays round every subject. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices....A man with no philosophy in him is the most inauspicious and unprofitable of all possible social mates. by partypoker

Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense - nonsense upon stilts. by party poker

Let anyone try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming. by free poker online

I think that the Bible as literature should be a compulsory part of the national curriculum – you can’t understand English literature and culture without it. But insofar as theology studies the nature of the divine, it will earn the right to be taken seriously when it provides the slightest, smallest smidgen of a reason for believing in the existence of the divine. Meanwhile, we should devote as much time to studying serious theology as we devote to studying serious fairies and serious unicorns. by poker tournaments

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. by empire poker

Crito, I owe a cock to Asclepius; will you remember to pay the debt? by casino online

We have long convinced ourselves...that the existence of even the most subtle of the 'invisible' things postulated by the scientist is verified, in principle, in exactly the same way as the reality of a tree or a star. by texas holdem poker

Philosophy removes from religion all reason for existing...As the science of the spirit, it looks upon religion as a phenomenon, a transitory historical fact, a psychic condition that can be surpassed. by online gambling

Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backward. by casino

There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it. by casino

So act as to treat humanity, whether in thine own person or in that of any other, in every case as an end withal, never as means only. by internet casino

Great site, thank you for sharing it.

your page is inspirational

I personally prefer the translations in (some) fansubs over than the licensed ones. And plus, fansubs have those cool animated karaoke OPs and EDs =)

Ah, yes, foreign language subs. I once downloaded the French version of an anime episode because the English subbers took forever to release it. Good thing I took 8 years of French.

I think a fan would do both. Keeping the free versions around is like evangelizing. That first link I put up in the post is actually only the subbed French version. Haha. I'm d/l the boxtorrent one now. 16 more hours until I can watch FMA...

Though a true "fan" would really just buy the DVDs, no? ;-)

ah, irc is a good hiding..i mean, distribution place. most bitt links (besides the bundled sonchou ones) were taken down.

but even if both groups stopped...another one would probably form; as one did when wolf's rain was commercially bought.

a fan's dedication is a beeooteefull thing.

Rumours have it that Sonchou-Fansubs will keep subbing it. Don't know the group, nor do I watch FMA.

You might try baka-updates.com, they usually have links for licensed anime, but mostly on IRC not BitTorrent.

OOOOH the PAIN! darn fansubbers and their morals. both subbers pulled their bitts offline. only 20some episodes left...and i would've bought the dvds...really.

Try the series PlanetES (just finished, so you can find a batch torrent somewhere). A more serious anime, but good storyline, which a lot of anime lack these days.

Also, Midori no Hibi is quite funny. Absolutely ludicrous storyline, but addictive to watch.
