Pet is pro-Kushiel series in general. It takes a special person to really appreciate those books. You know that anyone who really likes those books has some interesting characteristics hiding somewhere.

You two are both evil, darlings. And now, my poorly-written paper! Please excuse the citations, sorry if you don't understand them. When trying to define evil, differentiations have to be made between evil acts and evil characters. An evil act, as generally defined by the Miriam-Webster dictionary, ...

Okay. Got it. When you said an evil person would have no choice but to commit evil, I thought you meant that was the only option available to them. What you mean is that they would have to be personally unable to choose other than evil. I'm still essay-writing, but I'll post in a bit. It'll be up by...

I don't follow. If someone chose to commit an evil act, how does that make them less of an evil person that one who doesn't have any responsibility? And why your hypothetical "truly evil" people absolved of responsibility?

Is an evildoer necessarily an evil person? Take into account the concept of "lesser evil," doing one small evil to prevent a greater one. There is no other option but the two evils presented. Sophie's choice, for example. In the concentration camps, Sophie is given two options: both her ch...

Nope. Fiona Apple falls into the same category as Tori Amos for me, and I don't like her either. I'm more a Sloan, Spoon, Plain White T's, Reel Big Fish kind of girl. When I'm in an indie mood, that is. Otherwise, it's classic rock or big band. I'm ecclectic. But not Fiona Apple ecclectic. Now, if y...

How could I forget Least I Could Do?! I love this comic! The art style has really changed on this one.

And if you like Questionable Content, you'll probably be into Something*Positive. It's a little darker, but a lot of the same humour. Boy-punching occurs.

I don't care what anyone says, a girl who can play poker, smoke a cigar and drink Wild Turkey whisky is a woman to be reckoned with. I succeeded in being a Sexy Thing.
