>the quality of the entertainment your culture outputs is indicative of the quality of your culture.

And how do you measure quality? Are you to suggest that the popularity of Honey Boo Boo and Dance Moms as an entertainment source is evidence of cultural superiority?

/lit/, what do you think of the use of the future tense in history books?

What's the best order of catholic priesthood? Jesuits of Ignatius? Salesians of Don Bosco?

Bin and Bang

I'm a capital 'I'
you're a lowercase 'l'
I was born in the sky
you were aborted from hell.
But who are you and who am I?
we often ask ourselves.
Well we're one and the same
as far as anyone can tell.

I'd feel so bad if I committed suicide,
that I don't know if I'd be able to live with myself.

Thank you for posting it so we don't have to give them page views.

> I remain unconvinced, but that may be because I’m one of those people who “childishly insist on confusing protagonists with their authors”.
>When a woman is raped, her fingers nail gunned to the floor, her tongue cut out and thrown to the wall, all while she is still conscious, it is a form of release for the reader. It alleviates the trauma of engaging with a satire on the dog-eat-dog world western men have created for themselves.

>all seem to focus more on saying something than creating an interesting piece of art

I don't usually use the phrase 2deep4u but you sound like you don't actually put much effort into understanding art, and are upset because things aren't as straight forward as the old pretty paintings you saw on wikipedia.

Not that all slam poets shouldn't be rounded up and killed en masse.

>People can be sexist if they want - it may be irrational, but that's not a reason for laws against it.

I'm not sure if you're referring to job discrimination or just everyday on the street discourse. If the former then top kek but if the latter then yeah some elements of radfem clash pretty harshly with traditional liberal notions of free speech.

If ideology is considered something an individual places above himself, if his ideology is something like Egoism, that is, involves placing himself above all, when he consciously devotes himself to that ideology, is he still placing himself above or is he placing the ideology above still?
