An insult (also called a slur, scoff, slight or putdown) is an expression, statement (or sometimes behavior) which is considered degrading and offensive. Insults (sometimes called "cracks" "remarks" or one-liners) may be intentional or accidental. An example of the latter is a well-intended simple explanation, which in fact is superfluous, but is given due to underestimating the intelligence or knowledge of the other.
Lacan considered insults a primary form of social interaction, central to the imaginary order - 'a situation that is symbolised in the "Yah-boo, so are you" of the transitivist quarrel, the original form of aggressive communication'.
Erving Goffman points out that every 'crack or remark set up the possibility of a counter-riposte, topper, or squelch, that is, a comeback'. He cites the example of possible interchanges at a dance in a school gym:
'Verbal insults often take a phallic form. Almost all the really vicious swearwords we can use to hurl abuse at someone are sexual words...Visual insults follow the same trend'.
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.
The first person on Hart's list is the Prophet of Islam Muhammad. Hart asserted that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also believed that Muhammad's role in the development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus' collaboration in the development of Christianity. He attributes the development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination."
The 1992 revisions included the demotion of figures associated with Communism, such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, and the introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev. Hart took sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford for William Shakespeare. Hart also substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the first edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from the "Honorary Mentions" list, replacing Pablo Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were re-ordered, although no one listed in the top ten changed position.
Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (/ˈdʒɒbz/; February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American businessman, designer and inventor. He is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Through Apple, he was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution and for his influential career in the computer and consumer electronics fields. Jobs also co-founded and served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired Pixar.
In the late 1970s, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak engineered one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Apple Lisa and, one year later, the Macintosh. During this period he also led efforts that would begin the desktop publishing revolution, notably through the introduction of the LaserWriter and the associated PageMaker software.
Unsolid
I can jump on the last train
I can sit in the House of God
I can go down the big drain
I can head for the Milky Way
You're just another bum ride
You're just another Viet Nam
You're just another creature
In the way of the master plan
Why don't you tell me something I don't alerady know?
I gotta go to the big tree
I gotta tell me where to go

I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time
I'm leaving somewhere in a new dimension
I'm leaving and the world's so far behind
I'm doing exactly what I want to
Society can't play with my mind
Don't waste any time, girl
Step inside my mind
I'm five years ahead of my time
Look into my mind
Look ahead, don't look behind
I'm five years ahead of my time
Well it may seem like I'm coming on strong
But I know just where it's at for me
I do care about me right or wrong
On all of the golden life's mystery?
If you love me, baby
Come along with me
I'm five years ahead of my time
Look into my mind
Look ahead, don't look behind
I'm five years ahead of my time
It may seem like I'm coming on strong
But I know just where it's at for me
I do care about me right or wrong
?On all of the golden life's mystery?
Step inside my mind
Look ahead, don't look behind
I'm five years ahead of my time
Look into my mind, girl
Look ahead, don't look behind
Tal vez no tengas ganas de saber
Tal vez el mundo sufre y no lo quieras comprender
Y eres tu otro que no lo quiere ver
Que existen más problemas que los tuyos y los de él
(Estribillo)
Y busco una salida
Un mundo lleno de alegría
A ver qué puedes hacer
Poner de tu parte para ver
Tal vez imaginé se arreglaría
Y he vuelto a saber
Que tal vez imaginé que llegaría
Y he vuelto a saber porqué
Con solo darte cuenta bastará
Saber que tu has nacido en un preciado lugar
Y llego la hora de reconocer
Los errores que el hombre ha llegado a cometer
ESTRIBILLO X 3
With evasive smiles Faking well-kept lies This time, cast all aside And wash the blood off my hands
In your deep brown eyes Lies my paradise And all that matters to me Unfold, revealed, when you're near When you're near
Falling, Crawling, I'm losing ground, watch it all come down Kneeling, feeling, you're all around, let's fight or die in this town
Witnessed heaven break Burned down every gate But what you told me that night Uncut, unsealed, frail but right Something right
Falling, Crawling, I'm losing ground, watch it all come down Kneeling, feeling, you're all around, let's fight or die in this town
We shall stand our ground this time Yeah we shall stand our ground this time
We're picking up the pieces. It's not too late We'll pick 'em up again. Take my hand We're picking up the pieces. Won't let go again
