I'm more of a lover than a fighter but I'll do my best to argue eloquently on matters of interest. I love the English language and speak fluent French.
In short, I'm a cunning linguist and a master debater.
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this." -.Albert Einstein
"I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal." ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object." -Albert Camus 1913-1960
"It may be that our role
on this planet is not to worship
God, but to create him." - Arthur C. Clarke
"When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest of times, and to the latest." - Thoreau
"Imagine a world with no religion. Imagine no suicide bombers, no 9/11, no 7/7, no Crusades, no witch-hunts, no Gunpowder Plot, no Indian partition, no Israeli/Palestinian wars, no Serb/Croat/Muslim massacres, no persecution of jews as 'Christ-killers', no Northern Ireland 'troubles', no 'honour killings', no shiny-suited bouffant-haired televangelists fleecing gullible people of their money. Imagine no Taliban to blow up ancient statues, no public beheadings of blasphemers, no flogging of female skin for the crime of showing an inch of it" - Dawkins

Black swan is a psycho-thriller and so the negative critique on the dancers and choreographers is mute-point. I liked it simply because it did the trick of leaving me feeling inexplicably disorientated. Which was exactly the intention of course. :)
Bedtime for me... on UK time. Laters.
