Those of us who were fans of WWF understand the narrative twist from liking good-guys characters who kept the rules, said their prayers and despised Russia to rooting for heels who cheated and had bad manners. If you think about who made up the WWF fan base in the 80s and 90s it makes even more sen...

I say to blazes with the whole damned phenomenon. My idea is not to let loudmouth busybodies force their fads down our throats. I say this to ...

I'm not entirely sure of the difference between civilisation and culture. I assume there may be a difference in that civilization is a group of people and culture is...
