Lars von Trier (born Lars Trier, April 30, 1956) is a Danish film director. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective, although his own films have taken a variety of different approaches. Lars Trier was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was raised by nudist communist parents. Trier notes that he was brought up in an atheist family, and that although his stepfather was Jewish, he was not religious. His parents did not allow much room in their household for "feelings, religion, or enjoyment," and also refused to make any rules for their children, with complex results for von Trier's personality and development. The young Lars found in cinema an outlet to the outside world through which he could learn about subjects otherwise forbidden from his study by his parents. He began maki...

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (IPA: , but usually Anglicized as ; Listen (help·info)) 5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a prolific 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian. Kierkegaard strongly criticized both the Hegelianism of his time, and what he saw as the empty formalities of the Danish church. Much of his work deals with religious problems such as the nature of faith, the institution of the Christian Church, Christian ethics and theology, and the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. His early work was written under various pseudonyms who present their own distinctive viewpoints in a complex dialogue. Kierkegaard left the task of discovering the meaning of the works to the reader, because "the task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires...

Stephen Tyrone Colbert (IPA: /koʊlˈbɛɹ/) (born May 13, 1964) is an Emmy and Peabody award winning American comedian, satirist, actor and writer, known for his ironic style (particularly in his portrayal of uninformed opinion leaders), and for his deadpan comedic delivery.

On the eve of war with the Soviet Union, he flew to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate peace, but was arrested. He was tried at Nuremberg and sentenced to life internment at Spandau Prison, where he died in 1987. He has become a figure of veneration among neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. Because of the similarity of their names Hess is sometimes confused with Rudolf Höß, the commandant of the Auschwitz Death Camp from May 4th, 1940 until sometime in November of 1943.

Biography of Rubin Hurricane Carter
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (born May 6, 1937) is an African-American former middleweight boxer between 1961 and 1966, although he is better known for his controversial convictions (1967, 1976) for three June 1966 murders in Paterson, New Jersey, and his subsequent release from prison in 1985. The question of Carter’s actual guilt or innocence remains a strongly polarizing one. However, this much is certain: either the criminal justice system released a triple murderer from the punishment that two separate juries had recommended, or it imprisoned an innocent man for almost 20 years. Pre-boxing life Carter grew up in Paterson, NJ, a middle son among seven children. His parents had a stable, long-lasting marriage, provided well for the family, and raised their other six children without ... Add to favourites (3 fans)Biography of Louis Sarkozy

Add to favourites (33 fans)Biography of Socrates
Socrates (Greek: Σωκράτης, invariably anglicized as , Sǒcratēs; circa 470 BC–399 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who is widely credited for laying the foundation for Western philosophy, and is held as its most influential practitioner. The most important source of information concerning Socrates is Plato. Plato's dialogues portray Socrates as a teacher who denies having disciples, as a man of reason who obeys a divine voice in his head, and a pious man who is executed for the state's own expediency. Socrates disparages the pleasures of the senses, yet is excited by beauty; he is devoted to the education of the citizens of Athens, yet indifferent to his own sons. The trial and execution of Socrates was the climax of his career and th... Add to favourites (22 fans)Biography of Ella Fitzgerald

Lucrezia Borgia April 18, 1480 (or 79 depending the sources) - June 24, 1519) was the daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, the powerful Renaissance Valencian who later became Pope Alexander VI, and Vannozza dei Cattanei. Her brothers included Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, and Gioffre Borgia. Lucrezia's family later came to epitomize the ruthless Machiavellian politics and sexual corruption alleged to be characteristic of the Renaissance Papacy. In this story Lucrezia was cast as a femme fatale, a role she has been portrayed as in many artworks, novels and films.
