At its core I always go with Aristotle. Philosopher kings that punish vice and promote virtue for the common good. This promotes communal living and the good life.

The Ottomans had one of the largest slave trading systems in the history of the world. It's been well documented for a long time.

Anyone and everyone that was serving in and around the SAS (or tangential units) around that time knew the guy was guilty and huge POS. The 17 SAS troopers that testified are heroes and now many can start recovering their reputation and that of the greater defense force. We should now be going...

Using the "The Big 5" personality traits does highlight some interesting differences.

How are you supposed to get a proper clean standing up? People that stand must stink.

Abe has died. Longest serving Japanese PM. RIP.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Brilliant things.

Morality shifts in the subjective winds.

The heat, when it comes, isn't much fun.
