Arts & Humanities - 8 December 2006

for a better place. They are all so good and powerful people. But we continue to repeat the evils of the past...nothing seems to have changed except excuses and justifications. Everything is getting polluted and people are becoming worse and worse as days go by. What is this? Are we beyond repair? Who will give us a decent life that we like to have so much?

In a story I am writing, most of the events take place in an institution(or academy, or university, whatever) which aims studying alien civilization on other planets in order to deduce from their progress the main reasons that make all civilizations grow and then inevitably decilne. The project hopes to infer from that prolonged study the esoteric truth of the universe and its purpose.The events take place in the not so distant future.

What I want you to suggest is:
1- the name of that institution. My story is supposed to be a satire, so I'm looking for funny names and acronyms that mock the whole business of truth finding, scientific research, deep philosophical significances,and all that kooky stuff:)

2- I also wish you could suggest a name for the manager of this institution/project. I regard him as a thin man whith a shrill vboice, quick movements, and the mean and quick demeanor of a mouse.

Thank you and awaiting your suggestions.

British people have the history of making colonies and living in different countries and have made thier own home and empire after looting and capturing. Now when people have started coming to britian, why are they so much worried? They should fee happy as their ancestors must be neigbours of our ancestors in our home conutries.. lol

I've been studying Buddhism and it really jives with my view of the world, except for reincarnation. I'm trying to reconcile this idea with my scientific view of the world which doesn't allow for such mystical paranormal hocus pocus.

It is about my grandmother, who I never got to meet, but as seen through the eyes of a young child. There is a good bit of religion tied in with this poem (Talk of Heaven, mentions of Jesus, etc.,) but I don't think it will hinder the reader too much. I don't necessarily follow the beliefs mentioned in this poem (i.e., Being sad in Heaven), but I wanted this told with child-like simplicity. Please excuse any bad rhyming. This poem was hard to write because it hits so close to home. I don't really have a title, but.. yeah.

Hey Grandma, up in Heaven,
Are you proud of me?
Sometimes I have to wonder
Just what it is you see.
Do you see me when I'm good?
Do you see me when I'm bad?
I'll stop if you want, Grandma.
I could never make you sad.
I never met you, Grandma,
But do you know me just the same?
Do you know my favorite color?
Do you know my name?
Do you love my brother
More then you love me?
He is so very good
As everyone can see.

((Continued))

Okay. As an UN-attractive person, I will tell you...looks matter in EVERYthing, every aspect of life. Don't tell me "it's on the inside that counts" or "everyone is beautiful in their own way". That's bullshit and you know it. There is a natural pecking order and we're all slaves to it. When we're young, who do we have crushes on? Beautiful people. When we're older...what are we looking for? Beautiful mates. Personality keeps you there sure, but looks get you there in the first place. I am so sick of people saying it doesn't matter! Especially that stupid Dove campaign for little girls. I'm sorry, but not every girl CAN feel beautiful, because not every girl IS beautiful. They know, we know it...yet we're sitting there trying to convince them they're not ugly. Because, yeah it hurts like hell! But, don't lie to them! And, they don't call it "inner beauty" for nothing. It's meant to be on the inside. No one should have to use their inner beauty to make up for their outer

I don't want the dictionary explanation, or "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Your opinion would be nice.

I feel that every action I take is out of selfishness, even if I think I am doing it for the right reasons and out of pure love. The truth is, even if I don't expect anything in return, if people never reciprocated any sort of love, I probably wouldn't put forth the effort to love them. So I'm just wondering if anyone thinks something can be completely unselfish...?

I am just curious to know what if there is any special meaning or if it is just a design that people choose.
