Sure, you can express pretty much any concept from a foreign language in English, and vice-versa if the language is thorough enough. What you lose is the power and conciseness that comes from having a single word expressing a concept that w

Usually, the people who espouse such views are never the speakers of dying tongues. I'm not saying your view is the wrong one, or that it isn't rational. The sentence in the beginning of my post was spoken by an anthropologist who

If you're talking about contemporary literature, then maybe, as I wouldn't know much about recent stuff. If not, then you're... I don't even know what to call it... to dismiss the french, russian, spanish, italian classi

Well, if he said "If we want to lead our lives the best way possible, then you ought to read this and this, not that" it would still be pretentious. Is it really clear cut that one set from all of literature is the best for everyb

I have zero tech friends. Zero. Not one of my friends cares about privacy. Never have for as long as they have started using email in the late 90's. Me, I just gave up trying to raise the issue. So much so that I don't care anym

I don't get people who don't get this ;-) Imagine if it got to the point where the whole 50m fresstyle race was won by reamining underwater full time. Gone would be the frantic flapping of arms and legs making waves and splashes,

When I was a child in the 80's in Brazil this was still widespread. I remember walking over a relatively short friend of mine (we were both around 8 years old) and his grandmother physically made me step back over him to undo it, so

By the way, why would dentists be "cracked out" on amphetamines? Is it a very competitive field or are the hours terrible for a dentist in the US? (I also thought it was a bit over the top, but the dentist in the example stuck out

This is what I do also. I go for the 3-star. If I read a 3-star that seems legit and indicates the person really evaluated the product, I even look at their other reviews, as their 4 and 5 star reviews might be useful.

10,000 years is too much to make a valid comparison. Do we even know how kings lived that far back?
