Arts & Humanities - 22 December 2006

I have recently been asking questions about the sorts of garbage that was fed to me by school and stuff as a child, and quite clearly everything that was said has been completely incorrect. So why are we taught these incorrect things as children, then we have to work stuff out for ourselves as we get older (I and the community around me had to anyway)... It's a bit worrying...

I've read the first four, out of boredom. I laugh when I read them, but not because they're funny.

Since nihilism basically states that nothing can be communicated and that exsistence has no objective meaning or purpose do they believe in nothing at all. So is nihilism or more likely nihilistic beilefs paradoxical.

I used to dance and took modern dance lessons for a few years when I was in my teens.

I also took a GCSE in dance and just missed an A. I think that I can choreograph and just wondered where to start!

Now I am twenty four years old and just don't know which dance style to take and how to realistically achieve my aims?

Has anyone got any first hand advice? And am I too old?

I'm always in disbelief everytime I see the Discovery Channel or National Geographic showcasing modern-day Mongols; to know that these simple, yet sophisticated nomads once ruled the largest empire ever with an iron fist.

Do you think they could pull off another campaign one last time, just for the good ol' days?

I understand that half of it was just Genghis Khan's leadership, but the other half is also the disciplin and simple, yet tightly organized way of life of the Mongolian people. They are truly a fascinating people.
