In our desire to be politically correct are we destroying our ability to speak freely?

my poem doesn't make much sense but do u still like it?
My Selves

We’ll forget in time
the true deception
of appearance
when silver light dangled
under a secret sky.
Footprints of my former self
washed away
reflections of myself,
known only to myself.
Will I wake some morning
with the daylight of trust
filling til I feel fulfilled
with no mountains
mothering me in their breasts?
In a dream,
I’d awaken with poetry
pouring out of my pores
and never ask for more.
In this reality,
the rain of truth
makes my face cold
and a thousand lovers
cannot warm me.
I trace the difference
between trust and truth.
From the unborn pink sky,
sun slips away
into my eyes.
Misleading weather
turns to deliver tears,
mourning moments
murdered by caution.
For conscious thought cannot
coexist with emotion.
Only the strongest strands
strung together
stay to become our strength.

Ok, I am currently writing a story about vampires for my language class. Pretty much, the dude vampire bites the girl human, she becomes a vampire and blah, blah, blah (other stuff too complex to explain in great detail), They end up falling in love, and I don't know where/how to end it. I have a feeling someone should die or betray someone. I dunno. (also- this is not at all inspired by the book twilight. At all. I didn't read that till the story was mostly done.). Please, serious suggestions only. No making fun of the story (it is much better in story form) and no stupid type ideas. Thanks for the help and leave your name if you want me to credit you on the final copy that I turn in to my language teacher.

The difference in peoples lives between the years 1806 and 2006 is massive but would there be any such noticable change in say a villagers life between 1106 and 1306 ?

I've read all of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, V for Vendetta, and John Ostrander's The Kent's. Loved them! I'm looking for more graphic novels that are as deep, socially relevant, and thought provoking. Ones that tackle controversial topics. Any suggestions?

We helped to rebuild Germany after WW2?

Why do you think we did that?
How was it helpful for Europe as a whole?

Can anyone think of how? Let us all pay it forward even if in a small way. It's a start.

I am writing a story for my language class. It involves vampires and I came up with a name for the girl but I cannot, for the life of me, come up with a decent name for a male vampire. It needs to be old-fashioned but attractive. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey, I'm a young aspiring (and dreaming) actress. I've done theatre performances and such, but I want to maybe make it to the silver screen someday.

However, I don't have the foggiest how to go about that.

I've been reading books I've checked out from the library and they all give helpful advice, but they all talk about agents. I'm scared of an agent being a fraud.

So, my three questions in one:

- Any advice on how to improve?
- How do you tell if an agent is a fraud?
- Do you have any good references for finding open casting-calls (or something of that kind) ?

If so, what did you think of it? I read the book when it first came out and even though I'm not American I found it very moving and one of the best reads ever. Does the film live up to that?

You could do anything you want and just leave at any time, or pause the program like in the Star Trek holodeck. We are talking about a perfect simulation of present day earth. Think about it. What would you do differently? You can't really break any laws, because everyone is just a computer generated image.

I'm not quite sure if the pointe shoes I have a broken in or not. The shank looks like it's snapped in half and the box is somewhat squishy. Also, the fabric that was over the box has completly come off. What do you think? Are my shoes broken in?
