Frenzied consumers trample Wal-Mart worker: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081128/ap_on_.../wal_mart_death

Recommend to me (and the site in general) some great books on ancient history to put on my shopping list.

And now that I think that everything that can be said has already been said, let me lock this thread, and let the memory of UNRV's most colorful character merge with the strands of infinity. May his soul find its way to his famed Italian ancestors in the halls of eternity. Requiescat in pace.

This does look like an interesting book. Does anyone intend to review it?

I have a degree in political science .... and I am in management for a Call Center. A liberal arts degree is designed to improve your appreciation of our intellectual heritage, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a job tied directly to your chosen interest. If you want a job tied directly to your chosen discipline, and one that will allow you plenty of employment opportunities, I'd go for accounting. In these tough economic times businesses and government now more than ever need someone to keep track of every penny.

And it might make for a really great book review/ author interview.

Hey, some things bear repeating, right?

3 UNRV members were born on the same day and year ?
Ursus replied to Caesar CXXXVII's topic in Hora Postilla Thermae
And they are all Texans. This is indeed a sign that the Anti-Christ will come from Texas. My fellow Americans, please don't put a Texan in the White House, or we can expect war, natural disaster, disease, and economic chaos to plague our great nation! Oh, wait ... never mind .... -
It's funny, but the toga makes him look more stately and dignified. More .. presidential, as it were.

Welcome to the forum. Please don't type in all caps. Bold caps are even worse. This site has as an "America vs Rome" thread every month. I suggest you just look through folders to find previous discussions. No one here can possibly add anything to the discussion that hasn't been said a million times before. I'm seriously considering just merging all related threads into one discussion and pinning it for newcomers.

I would have given him catfood for the cat. He looks like he might spend the money on drugs.

I can take snow. It's the Salvation Army bellringers I can't stand. They've started early on their annual molesting of passers-by at centers of commerce.

Roman influence on Christian doctrine?
Ursus replied to caesar novus's topic in Templum Romae - Temple of Rome
I think a religion that severs an individual's ties from the family and the public life of the city-state, as Christianity did, is not something that the Roman state really could have "used" for its own agenda. That early Christianity was so counter to normative Greco-Roman culture is why it was sporadically persecuted in the first place. Paulist Christianity subverted the Roman state, not vice versa. -

I'm waiting for the official UNRV bikini briefs.

The current issue of Archaeology Magazine has a nice article on it.

On the other hand ... I think this also sums things up nicely: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/89632...=embedded_video

I just want a President that doesn't mangle the English language. I think he'll succeed in that endeavor if nothing else.

George Orwell was a prophet in many things. Although I would have been less surprised if something like this had happened at Berkeley, California than in the UK.
