Exposure means leaving a child to die outside somewhere. On a mountain outside of the town, for example. The baby died due to the elements, due to wild animals or due to hunger/thirst. A lovely practice.
As for Sparta, I don't think it's viable to look back on their culture from 2010 and just condemn their militaristic culture. If a society wishes to protect itself, it needs people who know how to fight. If a society wants to wage war, it needs the same. Spartan society became rich and powerful in part because Spartans knew how to fight. Even if you might think that a bad choice from your modern viewpoint, it was a choice that worked for them and we should try to understand it, not condemn it. It's ancient history, after all. Condemnation serves no purpose. Even today, you would not condemn a German that you met in the street for the Holocaust. And that was but a few years ago.
Uh, pure speculation. There is no way to know how their music sounded. You cannot reproduce the instruments. We may see illustrations in Sumerian artwork but we have no real way of guessing what sounds they made.
I guess some people have to make a name for themselves somehow, even if it's all make-believe.
What's even more fun is watching news programs whose producers think that election nights need panels of pundits who are all of the same political persuasion. Makes for totally hilarious commentary as they deperately try to spin for their side despite results that prove that their side are the losers. LOL They can't even have opposing viewpoints on the panel with them or they'd catch cooties and die. LOL
NO, this is just in bad taste! A piano as a place to sit and **it? Heaven forbid! Totally not appropriate. I can't imagine any music lover I know who would think that is funny...
Don't see what his being a Marine has to do with anything. He was a writer. But he did not write all the episodes of Twilight Zone. He did have a very particular voice and manner as presenter, which added something to the mix, for sure.
My favorite (the one that still makes me cringe the most) is the one with the earwig. Yikes!
Don't know why people try insulting Americans over fast food. Every country I've ever visited has fast food of some kind, even if it's not national chains of them.
Many people I know have found themselves in far away places, unable to stomach the local food (food poisoning, etc) and have seen a McDonald's and known they had found at least one meal they would eat with no worry.
Heck, even the Romans loved fast food. We didn't invent it.
As for fat Americans, well, why does that bother YOU, someone who is not American and, I suppose, not fat? It's our problem. And if you think being fat makes you somehow inferior, I'd like to hear your reasoning as to why that is so.
The earth's climate changes all the time. Sometimes it's warmer than others, period. It's not about cars or how many kids we have. It's the SUN.
Scientists are hyping their fake theories because they make HUGE money off of it - grants, etc. And people like Gore are doing the same, making MONEY spreading doom and gloom.
Climate change is logical and normal and not MAN's fault. Deal with it.
How does having a daughter who is gay make her a hypocrite? Just because she has a daughter who is homosexual doesn't mean she HAS to be pro-gay marriage or pro-gay anything. She's her own person and would have the right to believe what she wants, after all. It would by no means mean that she didn't love her daughter or accept her.
Way to go with the Right-bashing, as per usual, Neat.
As long as feminists attack women who do not share the exact same beliefs and desires as they do, the movement will never regain credibility.
As long as feminists continue to act as if an unborn child's fate is much less important than making sure girls believe that sex is a game and that they should play it all the time, the movement will never regain respectability.

Sigh.
As for the product, I'm not sure why you need to cover your face to take a nap. Weird.
Still love the books, no matter what.
