Arts & Humanities - 26 July 2006

My first question is why did Socrates refuse to have his family come and make a petition for aquittal before the court? What comes to my mind is that is it because he felt that it would be lowly of him to do so?
My second question is what did the people expect Socrates to propose as his punishment? What I'm thinking is that the people thought that he would accept exile.
My third question is what did Socrates ask his friends to do for his three sons in order that they grow up right? I'm stumped on this one.

I hope someone can enlighthen me on this topic

It's about these three woman who go on a journey. While traveling they find themselves traveling through time. I think it's set in the late 1800s. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

For some reason I have read very few books that I don't enjoy. And I read a lot and often pick books at random. It's weird.

I can only really think of one at the moment and that was Messenger by Lois Lowry.

Are there any books you really don't like? Why? Do you pick books at random?

In my dream my boyfriend and i was going to this cafe and all of a sudden it changed into a abandon apartment and we were running away from these mean half demon girls my boyfriend and i escaped from them and we were trying to exit from this apartment then i realized i had dropped my purse or something whatever it was it was valuable so he said he'll look for an exit while i go back and find my belonging. We parted i found my bag and i was going back to the way i came from someone blocked the ways i just passed so i couldnt get through but with my survival mode i managed and i got to this door on top of the stairs where i was trying to open and only to find out that my boyfriend was holding the door so i couldnt open it. I panicked yelled to open the door and realized that those girls and my boyfriend were both against me so as i turned away to go look for another exit my boyfriend peeked the door and threw these acid flakes that i knew that would blow up so i ran n woke up

The biggest fallacy of all--the claim that the civilizations of ancient Egypt were black! Ancient Egyptians were the forebears of modern Egyptians--an Arabic people. Yes, the Egyptians were African--they lived on the continent of Africa--but they were NOT black!
The Egyptians were in contact with a black people to the south of their realm--the Nubians, and made clear they were not OF these people, but were an entirely seperate people. The civilization of Egypt in totality has been 'stolen' by Afrocentric academics.

And don't get me started with the whole Jesus issue... he wasn't black! He was a Palestinian Jew, and so looked like the modern day descendants of the early Palestinians... olive complexion, dark to black hair, probably a heavy beard in the fashion of the day... in other words, a guy that could pass for Sicilian or Greek!
He wasn't a 'white guy' either--but then, no one but the nuttiest Christian really thinks he was a pale-skinned chap with straight, light brown hair!

How can 50 states and Billions of people live in harmony without wagging war on other states?

What is the political and economical elements that Unite Texas with Connecticut and Alaska with Washington D.C. and provide adequate representation for all inbetween?

How does the USA compare with Western Europe and the Middle East where war is an abundant part of their history?

who defined heaven as a place for good people and hell for the bad people?

but people who get to heaven cannot be all 100% good or true..
they must hv commited atleast some bad things...
and if hell is so bad , then why god is even allowing hell to even exist?
do u believe gods make no mistakes? just see our history since earth got created...there hv only been only wars , scams , blunders etc etc.......so u still think god makes no mistakes?

I think of evil as something humans invent to put bonds on practices that they find horrifying. Yet people believe in evil because of how they are raised. If made a young boy was raised killing a man everyday, he wouldn't see it as evil. Do you think I have any basis for my theory, or I'm just hehehe... Evil?
