"The Influence of Plotinus on Augustine's Philosophy of Time" The Neo- Platonic thinkers had a great influence on the philosophy of Augustine. Augustine's arguments on time are no exception. Central to his discussion of time are the theories put forward by Plotinus. Even though Augustine did not know Greek, he was able to ac... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Lifestyles & Trends Celebrities and the law: Why it seems like Hollywood law-breakers are above the law

3 of 13

In America, we value the wrong things: money, fame, and power. Celebrities by definition have two of these three things and perhaps all three. Most Hollywood stars possess exorbitant amounts of money. Their movies, songs, and royalty checks all give them millions upon millions of dollars. As a lawyer, I can say that if you w... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Are we [Americans] collectively dumb as a nation?

13 of 51

The reason why Americans may appear as dumb to some people (especially Europeans) is that our lives are made easy for us. We own multiple TV sets, SUV's and internet access. This deals a death blow to old fashioned reading and knowledge. Dumb and refined are not one in the same. A lack of refinement does equate to lack of kn... More..

This is a matter of common sense and taking responsibility for one's action, no matter how foolish they may be. There should be no blame shifting in a matter such as this.

I believe that a real man can admit when he has made a mistake. Humility and honesty are virtues. Even the great Socrates was able to admit that he, a mortal, could not know everything. George W. Bush is no Socrates. I think it is fair to say that we were wrong to invade Iraq. Admittedly, I voted for the president in 2004. I... More..
