(Debating Period)

The Lovely Love-Struck Lovers of
Olde Luton Towne

A slushy, sugar-coated tale of the romance between a nobleman and a serving wench set in 18^th Century England, this story is bound to appeal, not only to soppy old ladies, sexually-frustrated housewives and hormonal teenage girls, but also gentlemen of a homosexual persuasion as well.

Is Modeling Really an Art?

2013-05-18T12:55:32-08:00

(Voting Period) 1) Modeling is not an art because it does not involve any skill. Let me explain. Models are chosen based on looks which they are born with but they do not necessarily have to practice having those looks. Models have won a "genetic lottery" that fits the Modeling Industry's ideal of beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM4Xe6Dlp0Y 2) Merriam Webster defines art as: Noun a. The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in b. a visual form such as painting or sculpture,...: "the art of the Renaissance" Works produced by such skill and imagination. Models wear high fashion and pose for photographs, however, the models themselves have not created the clothes or taken the photographs. It is the photographers and fashion designers who are creating the art. 3) The Merriam Webster dictionary term for art uses the inclusive word of humans in order to indicate who can create art. The requirements that are needed to be me

Kanye west is better than any Greek tragedian.

2013-05-08T23:41:52-08:00

(Post Voting Period) In the case of the classical Greek tragedy, the objective of the playwrights was to evoke a CATHARSIS. Wikipedia states that a catharsis is a sudden emotional breakdown or climax that constitutes overwhelming feelings of great pity, sorrow, laughter, or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal, revitalization. Listening to Kanye Wests fifth LP "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", one can quickly get the idea that Mr. West tried to achieve the same thing - to make people feel. So let's go with that: If we throw away all bias and prejudice based on the fact that most Greek tragedy (let's say, for example, Sofocles' Antigone) is academically valued and appreciated and MBDTF(My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) is not, we end up comparing them on the ground of evoking emotions, a catharsis. Antigone may be relevant today as much as it was in the Greek times (and will continue to be for a long time) in field of motifs and ideas, but bringing

We should preserve old buildings instead of damaging them

2012-11-01T17:19:09-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Nowadays it became one of the most debateble thing. Most of the people consider that there is no need in old buildings, that they should be replaced by new, more modernized buildings. But old buildings reflect the history of each city, and to destroy them means to damage everything that our ancestors tried to preserve for us
