I mean seriously, what the hell?
I don't like Michael Oakeshott or Hegel either, sons of bitches use too much mumbo jumbo philosophical jargin in their works.

I've only come across Foucault by brief association, but how can anyone be worse than Hegel?!
My brother is a junior lecturer in political theory and even he can't help me!

Though, to be fair, Hegel's esthetics has some very interesting insights. I had to wade it through it all to write a paper about a composer who was a bit influenced by Hegel's philosphy of art, so to speak. It'd be boring going into the details.
I'm told by a friend who teaches History at a fine University in the U.K - I can't say his name, unfortunatelu - that histoire de la folie à l'âge classique, despite its flaws and the fact is somewhat outdated, still holds water. He went through the footnotes, then he went through some criticisms of the book and made a research project and found much evidence that bears out many of Foucaul't claims. Though he's skeptical about the philosophical spin of the work. The history, he tells me, is sound.
I read the book cause I had to present it in a seminary, but, that's all.
I've been following some discussions on the books, and they are quite interesting, though. I guess his work, at least this one, was an important one, wasn't it? Regardless of what he did afterwards or whether one disagrees with him. It seems he set out a lot of fine research projects, and the discussions about his work and the researches made either to debunk it or bear it out, helped me have a better picture of this part of history. Some researchers have been arguing that the large internment of sick, mad or poor people that Foucault talks about is overstated and misguided; there are others who say that Foucault actually understated it all and that the confinment had a bigger dimension than Foucault actually thought, and some agree on his conclusions, and the controversial last paragraph, and some don't.
And there's the classic Derrida's critique to Foucault's reading of Descartes Discours de la Méthode. lol I find it interesting, though nowadays it's just music, music, and music, and maths and physics too. I want to graduate so badly...lol. Can't stand spending the whole day here anymore.
It was helpful, at least to me, but it's just my silly opinion on a topic I had to study but don't know anything about, just a tiny, tiny portion of the huge bibliography on this.
I don't think either - Hegel and Foucault - are all that bad. lol They had some interesting writings.
[admitedly ignorant on it all, though, just my opinion)

Discussions here which are started about a particular sound file, without a link to the file. Extremely annoying.
I can't get behind parents who tart their daughters up - those psycho achievemnent-whores who fill their kids head with junk and turn them into fucked out piles of narcissism before they even turn 15.
I CAN'T GET BEHIND THAT >:(

I hate when trailers for 'comedy' films give the viewer a false impression that the movie is actually funny. The amount of times i've went to cinema disappointed realising that the trailer just crammed in the three or four funniest jokes into a minute advert.
I'd like a comedy film that actually had enough funny jokes for a three minute trailer.
I can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

You're right, lack of good comedic films these days....think the last one i liked was Superbad.
Just as well for South Park, they give me my required dosage of humour!
