POPSThe myth of the self "WHAT is the self? One answer is that it is the diamond in the rough that is you, the unique, immutable and indestructible jewel that makes each person who they are, the being amidst the becoming, the unfluxable within the flux.Kant called it the Transcendental Ego, which stands behind experience as the condition of its possibility. An alternative view endorsed by Buddha, Heraclitus, John Locke, David Hume and William James is that the self does not exist."

POPSCome on, you know what he meant! All the bruhaha around Obama's special olypmics comment is ridiculous. You know he didn't mean to disrespect them and you know he didn't mean it the way it came out. It was a mistake and shouldn't have been said, but come on. Palin's comment that she hopes it does "not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community" is a cheap shot and stupid. She's knows damn well that's not the case and to suggest otherwise about the president of the united states is shameful.

POPSBBC: "Egypt women blog for their rights" Obsession with virginity Another blogger who wanted to remain anonymous, writes about her past as a drug addict and has criticised what she calls Arab society's "continuing obsession with female virginity. "My blog is a way to remind myself that I am not alone, Even if no one reads it, I would still keep writing," she says. Another significant way in which the blogosphere is being used to change Egyptian society is that it is one of the few public spaces in Egypt where men and women are represented more-or-less equally. It makes collaboration on social issues possible between men and women. Subjects that are taboo on the street can be discussed online. They discuss issues such as sexual harassment, which is often pigeon-holed in Egypt as a "woman's problem".
