The gas/convenience store that I frequent has a tray near the register. There is a note above the tray which reads 'take a penny - give a penny'. If someone takes a penny from the tray, is that person ethically obligated to give a penny back to tray at some point? Is it ethical to take a penny even if you don't need it at that moment, but think you will need it later? The tray occasionally contains dimes or nickles. Since the note doesn't mention those coins at all, can those be taken without an ethical obligation to return like coins to the tray in the future? If someone needs a penny but doesn't take one, have they contributed to the tray in any way?

I practice so much but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. When I draw, I press down very hard and when I paint I do the same thing also. I know that's not what your suppose to do with watercolors because you need the hiteness of the paper to show through a little. Also, what are some good techniques to just do a simple painting ?

I am currently an officer for my high school's dance team, and as part of my duties as an officer, I need to choreograph a dance to a song of my choice. I'm looking for something fun, and with character. Something that would be considered a novelty dance. Any suggestions of some fun songs to dance to? I'm looking for maybe some oldies, broadway songs, tv shows theme songs, movie themes, etc.

I'm having trouble writing the introduction to my book. I don't know how to start it. It's supposed to go into detail about the corruption in the United States government. It is supposed to talk about the idea of democracy being an illusion. And how the Roman Catholic Church is apparently loosing it's grip on politics, which leads to rebellion.
How should I say that?

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him.. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.
"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing.. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.
"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.

If you know alot about this topic, I'd love to hear. Especially about why and how it evolved the way it did. How it is different from post-medieval Islamic architecture and so on...

IF YOU CAN put up multiple links with pictures, that would also be great.

I'm not looking for any specific answer on this question, just an answer that teaches me--the more, the better.

I read today about the island of St Kilda in the Hebrides and its tragic breakdown in self efficiency. In 1930 those that remained on the island asked for evacuation to the mainland. If something similar happened now what would you take as a 'reminder of the past'?

Most of the wars in history was done by so called "Western societies". Yet we call ourselves civilized. Why? How civilized are we? In our country, people were enslaved, segregated: blacks; almost wiped out: Native Americans; excluded based on race: Chinese exclusion act. We have had so many wars and internal strife, as well as other nations. Are we civilized or barbaric?
