The best video in my opinion about the decisive battle in Reconquista VS the Islam. Las Navas de Tolosa. (In castilian, but quite descriptive of the moments of the battle). EUROPEAN FORCES (70.000 to 100.000): Castilians, the soul of the army, 50.000.Portuguese, Navarres and Aragonese, 20.000French, (with massive retreats, although)30.000. And the legendary Órdenes Militares (military Orders): Orden ...

Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the host. The harm and benefit in parasitic interactions concern the biological fitness of the organisms involved. Parasites reduce host fitness in many ways, ranging from general or specialized pathology to the modification of host behaviour. Parasites increase their fitness by exploiting hosts for food, habitat and dispersal. ...
Hello mostly testing out this blog feature as I don't normally bother with such, though that could change. :D:thumb001:
I didn't feel like making a thread, because at the present moment my thoughts are disorganized. Perhaps eventually I will, when I am able to shift my thoughts to something more universal rather than just about me. In the mean time I thank those who will take the time to read. As we all know my beginnings at The Apricity have not been easy. And I understand why. Today I owe many thanks to those who from the start sided with me, and I thank all those who eventually accepted me. ...
What Has Become of the Classic Greek Nose? I've wondered this myself, no one alive today seems to have the classic "Greek nose," where the forehead and nose form a straight line.
Lady Gaga was detained by security staff at Heathrow Airport due to her wacky ensemble. According to MTV News, Lady Gaga literally set off alarm bells as her outfit of a leather studded playsuit and oversized bag triggered the security system. And it was a case of ‘don’t you know who I am?’ when the staff at the airport took to searching her thoroughly. But when they realised who she was, Lady Gaga was allowed to go. I've only heard 2 Lady Gaga songs ...
It occurs to me that freedom of speech (the freedom to speak without censorship and/or limitation), also known as freedom of expression, is not really positive creatively or culturally. Looking back on our artistic history, not just anyone could become an artist and be given a platform to express their ideas, to blurt out whatever mental diarrhea they wanted. Art and expression have been democratized and as a result dumbed down considerably. All of the greatest works ...
Here you will find portraits of people who sat with the Serbian artist Marina Abramović during her "The Artist Is Present" art installation at MOMA. She sat in the museum from opening to closing time. The people waited in line to sit with her. They could sit with her as long as they wanted. I think someone stayed with her the whole 8 hours. Most people stayed just some minutes. Observation: New York is average and homely looking. Ok, many of the people ...
I have always been aware of this contempt for civilization. I actually loathe the majority of the aspects of modern life in a civilized country. Everything we do, see, say, hear and think is fake and faked. This reality constructed around us like a cage without our permission is a mirage. You start to feel like a domesticated animal, like a hamster in a cage which is occasionally given just enough food and toys by its owner to keep it ...
***SPOILER ALERT*** PC Liberals love this movie and only can see the environmentalist/oppressed minority side of it, while most white nationalists/racialists dislike it because it makes white people the bad guys. Look a little deeper... Racially pure, physically superior beings called Na'vi defend their homeland from rootless, greedy, multicultural invaders lead by white sell outs to industrial capitalism who represent a 22nd century amalgam of Halliburton and Blackwater. ...
