Welcome to the Freethought Forum

The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus.

We're toast. According to internet security expert Dr. Peter W. Singer, a US representative negotiating cybersecurity with China actually asked that question, "What does ISP mean?". Obviously government officials went with the wrong person for this type of negotation, but then, what would you expect when many of them don't even use email. WTF?
