That's a line from a song by Mumford & Sons (they're not really his sons) called "I Gave You All". Like most of their lyrics it really resonates with me. What do you think Mumford and Sons meant by this and do you agree with...

Is it better, do you think, to make your children's immediate personal well being as great as possible (wealth etc), for their future, or to leave behind a better world (environment, society and culture, economy) for them to live...

I have read an article on Yahoo about a certain Marine sergeant who posted derogatory comments about his Commander in Chief, President Obama. Some of the comments posted were citing the president to be a domestic enemy, a coward...

ShardAerliss The main problem here, I think, is that he said he would not follow Obama's orders. Would he say that to or about a direct commanding officer and expect not to be disciplined? As a member of the armed force it his job to follow orders. There is leeway,...

ShardAerliss *nods* As described by Robespierre... although he thought it was a good thing didn't he. Guess he would, being the one in power and using it to terrorise at the time.

So it has finally happened the State has decided that they are going to charge Zimmerman with a crime in the case of the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The media of course is going to Casey Anthony this whole trial. The public is...

ShardAerliss It's easier to sell "racist" as black and white, literally. Try to make people understand that a) there are more than two skin tones, cultures or continents and b) that racism is a problem for all races. It's nigh on impossible. I recently saw someone...

ShardAerliss As Florence said; this is completely political and has NOTHING to do with what is legal. Any power they can grant their allies in frightening the populace they will grant. They think that if they do enough to hurt a few people, all the others will fall in...

ShardAerliss I dunno, kings and queens were often removed from power by beheading... although generally after a lengthy civil war. No, you're right; that's not a good thing.

ShardAerliss Money simply stands in for very difficult to transport goods. If trading still exists then whatever you trade IS currency. It won't do away with scams, just make them more interesting XD If I offer to trade you a piglet for your box of apples, but give you...

ShardAerliss I'm not in the USA, so I have a very different perception of this incident. Mainstream media here isn't interested at all in a shooting in the USA so everything I've read about this case has been via the internet, and independent sources at that; Twitter and...

ShardAerliss I used to wear a lot of rings, but it got too much hassle having to take them off at night and for work, so now I only wear one simple little signet ring that my granddad made. I wear it on my ring finger simply because that's the only one it fits on _

ShardAerliss Interesting answer, thanks, and sorry about the wait on replying. It does run you round in circles. If a person commits a crime for some cheap thrill, surely there is something wrong with them that a caring community should attempt, for the criminal's sake...

ShardAerliss Great answer, thank you, and sorry about not replying sooner. Isn't not caring about the implications and consequences of their actions also a sign of mental instability though, or at least a lacking in their education that can be, as with a mental...
