    hey who loves usher?

    Fair enough. Rather ironically you hate the things which he is most liked for, but hey thats life. ;) And to be fair to the man, he is a good dancer. :p As far as R'n'B music goes, I agree a lot of it is lyrically terrible-but it is the audience who by and large decide the lyrics or the...

    hey who loves usher?

    You misunderstand me, why do you hate Usher over other muscians of the same genre. Or do you hate the whole genre, Usher included.

    hey who loves usher?

    Oh nos! Not Usher! Will he spend his life making love to pretty women and making love to more pretty women until he dies? According to his songs it is all he ever does.

    hey who loves usher?

    Do you think the title of his album "Confessions" is a deliberate parody of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and St. Augustine's books of the same title, in which they talk about their sexual conquests. More importantly, will Usher now write a political treatise on the evils of private property, force...

    Roman history/fantasy book

    Could it be Salammbo by Gustave Flaubert? Could it be I, Claudius by Robert Graves? I doubt it is, but that is the only other (albeit unlikely) possibility I can think of.

    Don Quixote de la Arnor

    Don Quixote was (amongst many other things) a satircization of the knight-errantry stories which were prevalent in Europe and Spain at the time. The characters, or heroes, tended to be one-dimensional i.e. handsome, brave prince and beautiful princess. I say tend to be-knight errantry is neither...

    Do you read non-fiction?

    I frequently read non-fiction, both for my university course (politics) and just for fun. ( :eek: ) My favourite politics writers are Aristotle, Alexis de Tocqueville, J.S Mill, Ludwig von Mises, Freidrech Hayek, Milton Friedman and others such as Hernando de Soto who have published one or two...

    Most Disappointing Authors?

    Lord of the Rings boring and long? It was too short in my opinion! I was dissapointed with Jane Austen. She was just plain boring. There are so many other romance novesl which I enjoyed more, but each to his own eh.

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    You really should have included a smilie with the comment, of course. Then it clearly would have been a joke. ;)

    Magic Realism

    If it involves governments then it involves politics. I also never said it was wholly about politics, "all of them seem to have something to do with politics."

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    War and Peace funny? Brilliant, a classic and one of the greatest books ever written, but funny?
