Thin Black Line Kill'em all; let God sort'em out. "Arooah (invented 1968 by Marine Detachment, NATTC, NAS Jax, FL.)" Later converted to "Oorah" by persons unknown.

Art Eatman--Limits of Expression And your point is (I mean--besides the one on top of your shoulders)?

CAnnoneer You said: If it were all up to the robed hypocrites, we'd still be stuck in the Middle Ages herding sheep, shoveling dung, burning witches and dying young. Quite right. Moreover--substitute two words and the truth remains: If it were all up to the Muslims, we'd still be stuck in...

The Real Hawkeye You evidently know how to think critically; then you should know that there are at least 22 different ways to look at any one given topic. E.g.--Florida, CSA. When I came upon this thread, I chose one way that I thought was interesting and decided to run with it. Thank God...

shootinstudent and bouis I wish you guys long life. I am loathe to see the world bereft of Wisdom.

silliman89 Quite right. We are all Greeks. And I do see the entirety of history as a continuum. This thread centers on our similarities to Ancient Rome--but--no less are we Greeks. And--to the extent that the Bible is the center of our lives--we are all Jews. Even "Christians" are Jews...

bouls Uh-huh. And where do you suppose that the English got their legal system? Anything further--see my reply to "Shootin," above.

The Real Hawkeye Overstated or understated, the point remains. Ask the author of The Apocalypse. We are the Rome of the eschaton.

Tags I'd trace their tags; find out where they lived; then I'd either take them out, one by one--or I'd call Vern.

bouls bouls wrote: "The only reason the names of the writs are Latin is because of the church." Allow my correction: The only reason that there is an entity that we call Western Civilization is "because of the church." And: The Real Hawkeye: Yes, sub means under and poena...

Jesse James J.J. wrote: "We are just an extension of their legacy." Amen.

shootinstudent You may be studying law "now," but when (and if) you ever get to court you'll wish that you had studied Latin. I personally know at least one judge (and several lawyers) who will thoroughly disagree with you. Just goes to demonstrate the Liberal influence (and subsequent...

The Real Hawkeye Thank you for prancing around the definitions. Now--if you're through prancing around--deliver what I asked. E.g., analyze subpoena.

Fisi Our current crop of political leaders resemble no one so much as Alcibiades, who played all sides in the Pelopenessian War. Why do you think so many of them are going to the slammer? Alcibiades was a close relation to Pericles, arguably the greatest statesman of history; and he was a...

Silliman89 Sorry. They attacked me first, and I never back down from bullies or dilletantes (if there's a difference). It's sport to me. I'm also a fundamentalist baiter--but only when they have the truth (and God) in their back pocket.

Shootinstudent Define: subpoena duces tecum; habeas corpus; mandamus. And to show that you're not looking them up, I want mood, tense and voice for the verbs; and number, case and gender for the nouns. Since you know so much about language, it should be a breeze.

Tribute It's in the mail--as soon as the Pope so designates you. "All roads lead to Rome."

Empire One could also make the argument that we are the continuation of the British Empire. Given that "Empire" implies "central authority," just because that "authority" has been lost does not necessarily mean that the empire itself has--of a sudden--ceased to exist. I maintain that the...

The Real Hawkeye One mans "fall" is another mans "morph." "Prides goes before a fall." Does that mean "cease to exist?" And when I refer to Rome, it is to its culture and tradition that I make reference--to its mores (pr. maw-rays; from whence, morals). It would be specious to separate...

Shootinstudent Language is much more than a means of expression. It reflects an entire Weltanschauung, a cosmological understanding. Now, at the risk of sounding rhetorical or simplistic, I ask you--"What is the language of law?" Moreover, open a dictionary and randomly stick your finger on...
