Even though I don’t do these usually because I dislike to be constrained by popular, pre-set parameters and definitions, I took the Jung Typology test [...]Selfish and Full Of It.
Do you want to be Selfish, Narcissistic, Loaded, Greedy, Full Of It and yet … still come out on top of the game after it’s all over? Don’t screw your face and squirm in your seat. Its not like this is the first time you’re being asked an existentialist question. Think fast, cut to the [...]
The myth of Muslim support for terror
Ballen writes:
Only 46 percent of Americans think that “bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians” are “never justified,” while 24 percent believe these attacks are “often or sometimes justified.”
