My favorite translation is Robert Fagles because it's accessable and retains a lot of the poetry. Much better than Fitzgerald although his translations of greek tragedies are excellent.

Man if i ever say or believe anything like that i hope someone shoots me. Just so you understand my point a bit better.

True, but i like brad pitt, and orlando bloom is playing paris...paris was a pretty boy, so who better to play a pretty boy than a teeny bopper? Although you are right most people don't care about greek history or literature which is sad.

Science is the study of the world around us and the search to understand it. I love science, I read a crapload of books on physics, and have taken more than twenty hours of physics classes, i know what science is. and 80% of physicists have some sort of religious beliefs. Don't insult my...

First of all the electron joke was badass. second and okay these are politcally incorrect, i don't care. a) What do you call two gay irishmen? Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald b) What is the difference between and irish wedding and an irish wake? One less drunk...

Wow that was wordy.

I"m a catholic, and usually pretty cautious of religious discussion with people i don't know. OFtentimes non catholics are pretty hostile and i often don't agree (but i do agree sometimes) with non catholics. Of course i know nothing about Preacher, granted. But he's pretty much right. MOst...

I'll grant that sometimes dreams mean nothing. But some dreams are the results of the subconscience. Most of your nitemares are pretty standard and you can find the meanings for them pretty easily on the net or at a library or what have you. Trust me , i have trouble sleeping and often have...

Okay, i may be a geek, but i loved the illiad. The illiad must be one of the greatest books of all time. Honestly the rage of Achilles is one of the best plots there can be. To hell with the rest of the Trojan War (I shouldn't say that. I'm also a fan of greek tragedy which a lot of deals...

Well i'm a decent typist. Have your people call my people. We'll do lunch.

Ripper, i like the glass idea. I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Wow, i was against the nukes idea. I said stop terrorism and get cheaper gas. Getting rid of terroism and terrorist states (as in regime change) will stabilize the area leading to cheaper gas. Instead of calling me a horrible person you should have tried to realize that. and the thousands...

I"m not sure about the carpet boming with nukes idea. IF we nuked the whole area, would it have any negative affect on the crude oil? Because to be honest I would love to have cheaper gas prices, they are ridiculous. So i think we should try and find a way to stop terrorists and protect the...

I may be horribly wrong. I am not a muslim, a mere catholic, but doesn't the qu'ran strictly forbid suicide? I'm pretty sure i'm right, but who knows. Besides a martyr is someone killed for their faith/cause as i understand it and always have. Saints like sebastian, cecilia, agnes, etc...

Hey all i have to say is that shit (killing innocents and smiling about it) is cowardly as hell. THat man will not see 1000 virgins in paradise as he is a coward. There is no honor in terrorism. Maybe there was honor in the guerilla warfare in ireland from 1916-1922, but i may be saying...
