Generally the term refers to a certain school of thought, like the BIP would be Discordian teachings which in that case the people doing the teaching would be the people who contributed to its creation. You could use the term Christian teachings for stuff you learn from listening to Christian sermons for example, in which case the teacher would be the person preaching the sermon and to a certain extent whatever sources he/she learned from. I've also heard the term used by Christians... and I think Mormons so its not just a pagan term.
Speaking as one of the authors of BIP, I wouldn't call what we did as "teaching". The goal wasn't to tell people how to do something. It was more like shining a light on something for which the reader may have been in the dark. "Think For Yourself, Schmuck" isn't instruction. We never and don't tell people how to think for themselves. We just recommend highly that they do it, and the BIP gives some examples and evidence as to why that would be desirable. It really isn't instruction at all.
I second this.

If it didn't they wouldn't have held such prominent positions in society for as long as they have.

I used that bitch like a rubber fuck doll. AND SHE LIKED IT."
It's normal for people to fantasize about attractive celebrities. What straight dude wouldn't like a romp with Scarlett Johannsen or Halle Berrey? What straight girl doesn't get all fluttery once in a while thinking about Hugh Jackman or Idris Elba?
Totally normal.
However...
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I HAVE AN OVERWHELMING FEELING OF LUST FOR MEGHAN MCCAIN?!? I WANT TO PURIFY MY BRAIN WITH FIRE.

Disney Trademarks "Seal Team 6"QuoteIn a perfect example of a big media company looking to capitalize on current events, The Walt Disney Company has trademarked "Seal Team 6," which also happens to be the name of the elite special forces team that killed Osama Bin Laden.
The trademark applications came on May 3rd, two days after the operation that killed Bin Laden... and two days after "Seal Team 6″ was included in thousands of news articles and TV programs focusing on the operation.
Disney's trademark applications for "Seal Team 6″ cover clothing, footwear, headwear, toys, games and "entertainment and education services," among other things.
