Discuss the icons that you love best!| Best Music of 2006 "Taking the Long Way" | | Many critics agreed that one of the best albums of last year was by the Dixie Chicks. "Taking the Long Way" is the group's answer to those who criticized them after lead singer Natalie Maines made a negative public statement about President Bush. She did so in two thousand three, right before the invasion of Iraq. The group said the comment and the reaction to it changed their lives and their music. One of the songs on their album expresses the importance of standing up for what you believe. It is "Not Ready To Make Nice."Another critics' choice for best album of two thousand six was "Stadium Arcadium" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In fact, Billboard Magazine reports that one of the songs on the album was the number one modern rock song of the year. Here it is -- "Dani California.""Modern Times" by Bob Dylan was also chosen as one of the best albums of two thousand six. Critics at Billboard Magazine voted this album the best of the year. We leave you now with Bob Dylan singing "Thunder on the Mountain."

| | | Cannibalism: The Ancient Taboo in Modern Times I just want to share this article | | Do you people eat human bodies? I just want to share this from a blog I read.
--The guy entered a native village and pointed to a quantity of meat, spitted upon long skewers, being smoke-dried over numerous smoldering fires. A native man said yes and asked the guy if he is. And a few minutes later, the chieftain of the village came forward with an offering, which consisted of large and generous portions of flesh, only too obviously of human origin. He seemed genuinely disappointed when the guy refused.--
Historically shrouded in mystery, myth, symbolism, fear and speculation, cannibalism remains in most cultures one of the ultimate taboos. There's a book called "The Man-Eating Myth" the first known account of cannibalism came following an expedition to the West Indies, led by Christopher Columbus. Columbus and his crew supposedly discovered that the Carib West Indies tribe participated in a particularly gruesome practice of ritualistically eating the flesh of other humans.
I heard that Cannibalism is also a practice that reaches across centuries and cultures that they considered atrocious and sacrilegious, whereas in another culture that it is a sacred and revered custom. Can... | |

| | Living Rizal in modern times | | His handsome profile makes the peso coin more handsome. In every province, town and there's a street, park or commercial establishment named after him.At the Luneta, his monument is visited by Sunday strollers, tourists, visiting VIP's and diplomats, with honor guard standing vigil. The monument in the park is replicated down to the last detail in china, and similar tributes of smaller size are marked by street names, markers and plaques in Japan, Hong Kong, France and GermanyAnd yet, the sad truth is that in provinces many of the less prominent monuments to Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero, are in a sorry state and badly in need of restoration. Their plaster is peeling off, the plants that surround them died seasons ago, the lights that are supposed to keep the symbolic flame burning have been stolen or destroyed, coatings of moss accumulated over the years speak volumes about a weakness of community spirit which may largely be due lack of funding. | |

| | Make Believe Story for modern times | | Yes, this is not true.Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama's house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood and where it's clear that all the residents make more than $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it's an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes. Obama asks Joe how much it will cost. Joe immediately says, "$9,500." "$9,500?" Obama asks, stunned. "But you said it's an easy repair!" "Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free," explains Joe. "It's always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It's known as 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.' Surprised you haven't heard of it, senator." In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there's no... | |
| | Why wasn't the bible written into modern times? | | What was the last recorded date mentioned in the bible? And why did the bible stop being written after a certain point in time? I would think that if the bible were a recorded history of Christianity then there would still be new works added to it even today, wouldn't there? Is it because God stopped talking to man? Are we forsaken? Is modern man lacking in divine inspiration? Or is it because no one would trust anyone who claimed God spoke directly to them? I'm not trying to sound flippant here. I'm actually really curious why the bible stopped being written. Can anyone shed some light on this? (Without doom-and-gloom prophesies, please. Historical fact goes a long way with me.) | |
