It's a crude metric to measure fame, but Googling "George Solti" returns 870,000 results. Meanwhile "Mother Teresa" returns nearly 10 times as many with "8,170,000".
It is true that Solti wasn't the LEGEND that Mother Theresa was, but it remains bizarre to claim that he wasn't famous. He was one of the most famous orchestral conductors of his generation!
The 90s was a time before the meaning of this interesting word and concept had been corrupted to mean something very silly, so I disagree. The 90s were a better time for memes.
Definitely on the ascent. Not sure about the peak. The peak may have been sometime around 1997-1999 (and arguably up to 4 decades earlier), but I think it could have also been as late as 2008-2015. Depends on what factors you're looking at.
Should really be accepting dwarf planets or as someone said earlier, exoplanets. Just 'planets' is such a vague answer.
Also Foot and Mouth disease should work aswell for Mad Cow disease. Whilst they are different disseases both of them killed British cows in the 1990's, frustrated me that.
I am surprised that the downfall of Yugoslavia wasn't mentioned at all..., especially what happened in Bosnia. Every life lost matters, but aren't thousands of lives lost more memorable than 13?
Anyways, not a bad quiz. I guess it is hard to summarize a decade
She let people with curable diseases die in her hospices, because she thought treating those diseases was an affront to God's plans. She thought that suffering existed to provide a platform for compassion, to the point where she valued suffering so highly she would not allow it to be alleviated.
Any doctor who treated their patients as she did would be barred from practising medicine, and likely jailed.
and which definition for terrorist are you imagining that I gave that I did not give?
I honestly don't know enough about all of the activities that Mandela was involved in prior to becoming president for me to say he was or was not a terrorist. He may have been. He may not have been. Seriously, I don't know. But in either case, I still have not given a definition for terrorist in this comments section and you're the 2nd person who implied I had. Click on the linked quiz I left above and you can find a good (in fact, the best) definition for terrorism. By this definition, Yasser Arafat absolutely was a terrorist. And this is not controversial amongst serious persons who care what words mean.
I don't know about Mandela. I'd have to read more on the subject.
"In fact, the best." That's rather oxymoronic, don't you think? "Best" is an opinion, no matter how much it's supported with evidence/justification, and therefore can never be a fact. Whereas you may think your definition of terrorist is the best, it doesn't make it so. In your opinion, it's the best. In others' opinions, it might not be, no matter how strongly you think otherwise. Conversely, there's also not a "worst" definition of terrorist out there.
No, my definition is in fact the best. I could explain why at length if I felt like it, with logical proofs and mathematical formulas if you wanted me to.
It's one of my all-time least favorite Tarantino films, and as a teenager (when the film came out) I also thought it was very overrated, but as I grew up and matured I came to at least appreciate why it was generally so well regarded. If my development as a thinking individual had been completely arrested somewhere around sophomore year of high school I think I'd have a lot more in common with some of the posters on the site that disagree with me most ardently. That was when I was at my most religious and priggish, as well.
Wasn't it the 1995 Academy Awards where Forrest Gump won over Pulp Fiction? Both films were released in 1994, but the awards ceremony they competed in were the 67th Academy Awards. Schindler's List won in 1994.
