Welcome to the site! Hopefully you'll bring your unique views to more than just the one topic in Chit Chat!
The student of English certainly explains how you manage to use uncommonly used complex words in many of your sentences...
And what's Iconoclasm, anyways? I've never heard of it...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconoclasm
| Quote: | Literally, iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives. In Christian circles, iconoclasm has generally been motivated by a literal interpretation of the second of the ten commandments, which forbids the making and worshipping of "graven images". It has sometimes been motivated by christological or even political concerns as well.
People who engage in such practices are called iconoclasts, a term that has come to be applied to any person who breaks or disdains established dogmas or conventions. Conversely, people who revere or venerate religious images are called iconodules. |
Hmm...Interesting.
Yes, how would you describe it, and why is it something you're interested in?
