Arts & Humanities - 21 January 2007

I've noticed a lot of 'what book should I read next?' type of questions here recently. I'd like to know if there are others out there who scream "NO!" at some of the suggestions. Especially when it's a classic you remember hating. Like Charles Dickens. I've often loved the actual stories, but reading his novels makes me want to scratch my eyeballs.

Imagine this scenario:
You either tell a lie and get lots of money. Or you can choose to tell the truth but in this case you will lose most of your money? The trick is can you explain why?
You may say this is can be expressed as the Euthyphro dilemma..

Just saw a question below about ballerinas' "ugly feet", and I want to set the record straight:

My girlfriend is a ballerina. Okay, her might not be perfect, but who has perfect feet anyway, and feet aren't meant to be perfect. It's enough that her feet are graceful, but I want to add that they're cute too! Yes, she has blisters and red spots all over her feet but that doesn't prevent them from being cute.

So let's dispel the myth. The blisters and bruises are true, but dancers DO NOT have ugly feet! And dancers, there's nothing about the blisters to be ashamed about: if anything, you should be PROUD of them!

I'm aware of his obsession with Gala, his female influences, and the death of his brother. Perhaps, is there any connection with his paintings and the philosophy of Kant and how?

i think the only way for world peace is if all humans became extinct because humans have different ideas/opinions and people disagree with everyone with a different idea/opinion which causes lots of conflict and without humans there are no ideas/opinions to create that conflict so what do you think? and like i said people disagree so maybe you will disagree with me and start conflict

Strive always for the GOOD; but not using the 'Standards of Win or Lose' ; Instead use the 'Standard's of Right & Wrong'. Do not use your opinions; rather, use the opinions of those who debate about what 'Right & Wrong' actually means, and consider the ethics of the solution, both now , and over time.

By that I mean, which 1st Lady has brought lasting change (of whatever kind) to the way America behaves and thinks? I just finished reading a biography of Nellie Taft that I found fascinating and thought I'd find out what you all think of our First Ladies. Thanks!
