(OK, it's not exactly a history question as such, more a 'personal history' question)

Preferably in the U.S people. I have names of ones in Russia andthe U.K but none in America. I don't want performing arts colleges...just ones that specialize in dance.

If I refer someone I dislike, in private, by a slur that actually applies to their group. EX:Some black man acts like a stereotypical white jerk would, but I call him N-word while making fun of him. Am I simply overcritical, or a racist pig?

I am writing a list of 100 things to do before I die I only have 40 so far and I want to see what people would put on their list of things to do. It could be places to visit, new things to learn, things to say or do or whatever else you feel you need to do before you die.

Think about it, why is there reality, and not a nothing. In another words: Why does "something" HAVE TO be, rather than nothing at all. if there is no purpose then there shoud be anything, but clearly there is. So why must something rather than anything exist at all??
Appreciate serious answers.

Explain, please, your True/False answer. Where I refer to evil and good, I mean moral evil or moral good, so don't go off on the other senses or uses of the words 'good' and 'evil'.

Why is it that one man can see the senseless slaughter of innocents for what it is only when someone else is doing it? Is not genocide the systematic elimination or wiping out of an entire race? Such being the case, what is to become of the Race of Man?

Like The Call of the Wild, only "written" by Buck himself. Just a question I was pondering while trying to fall asleep last night...

I'm in a band with three people, me on guitar and vocals, jordan on bass and mike on drums. I would rather record songs with all of us playing at the same time, but can this be done and how?

I've always wondered this.
The same seems to apply to art of all types.
If you overwork it or overthink it, sometimes it's just not as good.

When it comes to what happens you die, I can accept two things:
One, is that your consciousness shuts down, which seems scary but if you think about it you won't be AWARE of it, sort of like before birth.
The other option would be that in some form you are still conscious, whether it be something as silly as floating as a ghost, or racing through the universe as now your consciousness is not behind the wall of our brains (http://www.near-death.com/experiences/judaism03.html is one of the few reports of NDE in which without the brain they were able to understand everything).
What do you think happens? What do you define as the human "conscious", and do you think it simply stops after death, or continues on somehow?
I would like to be conscious in some kind of way, because I do ENJOY being alive...but I've come to accept the fact that if I do just shut down - like I said, there will be no feeling of being sad about it, no worry or pain.
Please no "JUST CONVERT TO (religion)" replies. :)

I refer to black people as n i g g e r s but I don't mean anything insulting by it? And I don't say it to them, because obviously that's disrespectful.

I'm not saying that ALL rich people are miserable. I've met some great people that are wealthy and you wouldn't even know it. There are very nice people that have money but there seem to be so many more that are miserable, uptight, rude, inconsiderate, etc. I work in a field that caters to the wealthy....I just see it alot and am curious what the hell is wrong? They are miserable even when on vacation!

If you are rich then PLEASE provide some information if you agree or don't agree to it.
