    Sex, modesty and shame

    Honestly I have remarked that in the America founded by the Pilgrim Fathers, the culture of modesty is still predominant. It's normal, because culture shapes our brains. I have never had any kind of modesty or shame whenever it deals with speaking of sex because I was raised in a country where...

    Happy Saint George's Day

    This is a special day for Christians, but also for all the people who celebrate this festivity. The Genoese who love Saint George, and its cross is in their coat and arms and flag, identify with this festivity.

    "We need to make children to support the older generations"

    This is the mantra we have been hearing in the European Union...from politicians of any political hue. Which makes me really mystified. Not to say disgusted. I wonder if they are serious, or they are in bad faith. I'd say the second. It defies every logical reasoning of macroeconomics. Because...

    How fast do you talk?

    Really...I have noticed that the speed of speech, the talking speed enormously changes according to the people's language, cultural background, character, and so on. For example...I don't know whether I talk fast or slow...because these two are relative terms, that need a point of reference, so...

    All songs titled "Iris"

    What I have realized is that there are numerous songs called "Iris", which is a beautiful name, it's also the name of a flower. I guess this one is the most famous one, but I have seen there are many more. So if you know them, just post them. Thank you. ;)

    Abortion as method is too outdated to be discussed

    I believe that nowadays abortion has gained an oversized importance in the political debate, especially in the ongoing presidential campaign. After all, Trump has stated that abortion can be a solution to extreme and rare cases, and each state should determine those cases...

    Why people do what other people tell them to do

    What is freedom? Freedom is when you do what you want to do. When you are free to decide. Slavery is when you do what other people tell you to do. That is sad. Despite millennia of evolution people are just disoriented and imitate others, or repeat others' actions, like copycats. I think that...

    Pontius Pilate: a negative historical figure

    Pontius Pilate was the emblem of the Roman oppression in the province of Judea, existing since AD 6. He moved his court to Caesarea and disdained the affairs in Jerusalem. Or rather, like many corrupt and greedy governors of provinces (I can mention Verres, made immortal by Cicero's work), he...

    Barrators

    In Dante's Divine Comedy, barrators are those people who are invested with a public office, so they administer taxpayers' money on the community's behalf, or on the nation's behalf. But misuse it in a very sinful way. And so God punishes their misdeeds, because in Dante's world, Civitas Dei (the...

    Ukraine has become a dictatorship, it's official

    The presidential elections were scheduled for March 31st, but they will not be held. And please, spare me the martial law thing: a wartime can even last twenty years. That would make twenty years of martial law. And by the way, martial law is itself, dictatorship, because there is no democratic...

    Question about survival: you are stuck in a log cabin

    ...in the Alps...in a log cabin where there is no heating system. No electricity. Just a big bed with lots of duvets and wool cover. Outside there is a windstorm and a snowstorm and it's 14 degrees F. You need to share that bed with either of these celebrities. To pass the night, otherwise you...

    Spring: the triumph of re-birth

    I want to analyze with you all, what Spring represents according to many cultures, by starting with Paganism, and then seeing how the topos of Spring evolved in the Middle Ages and in modern times. Greeks and Romans had no doubt: spring stands for beauty, re-birth of nature through beautiful...

    Olaf Scholz: the NATO will not be part of the Ukrainian War

    That's what he said, here in this video: The NATO is not and will not be part in this war. And that will stay like that. We don't want the war between Russian and Ukraine to turn into a war between Russia and NATO. We agree on that with all of our allies. Which means: no participation of Germany...

    Feminism and objectification

    Someone linked this video, which is interesting, from a sociological point of view. Please, it's a short video: watch it first, to understand the point of the thread. Honestly I do understand her point, and the premise is good: women are not objects. They are thinking subjects, and they are...

    Christians' destructive rage against Paganism

    This thread is dedicated to all the damages done by the iconoclasm and the destructive rage that early Christians developped against all that was pagan and polytheistic. It was something that destroyed, I guess the 80% of the cultural heritage of that time, if we think of statues, temples...

    President Milei says that Government is a criminal association

    That's the video. And...I mean...this is the evidence that the liberal right-wing is light years away from the Social Right-wing. Because the latter does want the presence of a strong State that controls the economy and protects the small entrepreneurship from the sharks of the economy. Milei...

    Convince me that Putin is wrong

    So, after extraordinary and absolutely historic interview with Putin (made by T. Carlson), I have understood that: :) - In 2000 Putin had asked Clinton to join in the NATO, because he wanted perpetual peace between the West and Eastern Europe after 50 years of cold war. But Clinton replied him...

    Tucker Carlson interviews Putin

    I had always thought that Carlson is the best journalist in the world. He had the courage to go to Moscow and to interview the most controversial political personality, according to the average American. And I underline to the average American, because the average European respects Russian...

    Whataboutism makes no sense: it's illogical

    I mean, in a debate, so many people plead the fifth, that is, refuse to answer an interlocutor's question because they bring up whataboutism. Is whataboutism really an argument? I mean...it sounds like a desperate attempt to avoid answering. To avoid addressing the question. :) I give you an...
