Today's smut is tomorrow's fine art. The profane, with the passage of time becomes sacred. Having suffered under a reactionary ontological hermeneutics for the last fifty years, the extremist movement constitutes an emergent phenomenon which is more than the sum of the processes from which it has emerged. Interpretation theory rewarded by dominant culture would have us believe that history is objective when in fact its subjective nature is based on hierarchical systems of exploitation benefiting a global elite.
Nick Zedd
TV and the press have always functioned according to the same sets of rules and technical standards. But the Internet is based on software. And anybody can write a new piece of software on the Internet that years later a billion people are using.
Marc Andreessen
Donkey Punch is a very extreme, real-world thriller – it's about characters and events that are based in reality and it pushes them into very dark and extreme situations where they have to do things that they would never have imagined. The film shows all this quite realistically and doesn't pull its punches.
Olly Blackburn
It is generally acknowledged that the future of the European security architecture as an important element of global security should be based on principles of comprehensiveness, indivisibility and partnership, and, in the long run, on collective rather than unilateral action.
Leonid Kuchma
Every time I exercise, I do something different based on which areas need to get in motion.
Sharon Stone
But, based on my friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in 1966.
June Jordan
I create fictional narratives, but it's based on literal people.
Danai Gurira
Based on the Bible, I believe that all the land animals were made on day six, and Adam and Eve were made on day six, and people try to make fun of us for believing that dinosaurs lived with people, but there are a lot of animals living today that evolution says lived with dinosaurs.
Ken Ham
Creationists and evolutionists, Christians and non-Christians, all have the same evidence-the same facts. Think about it: we all have the same earth, the same fossil layers, the same animals and plants, the same stars-the facts are all the same. The difference is in the way we all interpret the facts. And why do we interpret facts differently? Because we start with different presuppositions; these are things that are assumed to be true without being able to prove them. These then become the basis for other conclusions. All reasoning is based on presuppositions (also called axioms). This becomes especially relevant when dealing with past events.
Ken Ham
You see, when we're talking about origins, we're talking about the past, we're talking about our origins. We weren't there, you can't observe that, whether it's molecules-to-man evolution or the creation account. When you're talking about the past, we like to call that origins or historical science: knowledge concerning the past. Here at the Creation Museum, we make no apology about the fact that our origins or historical science is actually based upon the biblical account of origins. When you research science text books being used in public schools, what we found is this: by and large the origins or historical science is based on man's ideas about the past, for instance the ideas of Darwin.
Ken Ham
Many have defined the neocon movement based on the highly intellectual, albeit warped, musings of Strauss and Bloom. Yet one could hardly call the current leadership intellectual or even capable of digesting this philosophy. Even neocon thinkers are jumping off the ship. Do you believe this is simply trickle-down Machiavellianism in much the same way that Communism trickled down as an aberration of its original intent?

. . . I have excluded the idea of the Fall of Man. . . man has made a long climb from the status of the animal until the time when he could recognize right from wrong. That recognition, at first, was based on behavior that paid, that avoided the retribution of the tribe and the gods, and that enabled the primitive society to function. Yet, however lowly in origin-and I am referring to a period centuries before right seemed to be worth following simply because it was right, or because man's dignity and status were sustained by doing right; centuries before right was conceived as pleasing to God because he was holy and righteous-that earliest recognition of a difference between right and wrong was an immense advance, even though wrong was chosen.
Leslie Weatherhead
Is there anything that one couldn't believe based on faith?
Matt Dillahunty
At the dawn of religion, all the knowledge of a particular community fitted into a spiritual framework, based largely on religious values and ideas.
Wolfgang Pauli
The hoary joke in the literary world, based on 'Dreams From My Father,' was that if things had worked out differently for Barack Obama, he could have made it as a writer.
James Fallows
I am well aware that many will dismiss this book as a hagiographical account of Modi's term as CM. To them I can only say, for 12 long years you have swallowed uncritically poisonous propaganda against him based on statements and testimonies which are being proven motivated, cooked-up, and plain false by courts and the SIT team. Let this come as a necessary antidote to that malicious smear campaign. I assure you that, unlike most of Teesta Setalvad's witnesses, none of the people who spoke to me used tutored language. All of them spoke spontaneously on video. Unlike Teesta's many witnesses, none of these people are likely to disown what they told me.
Madhu Kishwar
If we stay strong, then I believe we can stabilize the world and have peace based on force.
Edward Teller
I do not think that this peace based on force is, can be, or should be, an ultimate end.
Edward Teller
We are a violent society. Our foreign policy is based on violence. Barack Obama is out there, being this charming, incredibly warm human being, and you know as well as I do, that he represents a nation whose primary directive is kill. Kill, loot, pillage, take. You don't believe that? Then let me ask you something. Does Cuba have a military presence in 140 countries? No. Does Russia? No. Does China? No. Does-- go ahead, pick one! Go ahead! There's one country on earth that has a military presence in 140 countries. And it's us. And why do we have it there? Why do we have them there? This is a violent society!
Mike Malloy
The pain is legit. But Trump is a stupid vote. Because Trump won't solve any of those things, he'll make them all worse. You're voting against your pain. You're voting to create more. You're going for a kind of witch doctor of politics who is promising things based on magic.
Mike Murphy (political consultant)
Many unions have contracts with employers that are based on a multiple of the prevailing minimum wage. If the minimum wage goes up, union salaries go up by a similar percentage.
Neal Boortz
Anyone who is seriously interested in me would usually do a little more homework and realise that the extreme criticisms are almost exclusively ideologically based.
