a woman. I see nothing about it that would justify all the hype we hear so much about it. There are many paintings of women in this world, many just as well done, any with one or another expression on their face; so what is so special about this one?

How were individuals affected during the tumultuous era of political change in which the Revolution of 1911 brings an end to the millennia-old imperial rule in China. How did Chinese citizens perceive change in their everyday lives? There are many themes of continuity and/or discontinuity at the turn of the 20th century-- many involve imbedded Chinese customs. It covers seemingly familiar subjects such as child abuse, foot-binding, abortion, female infanticide, human trafficking, opium smoking, prostitution, concubinage, funerals, weddings, and official corruption.

Would it be wise to argue whether politics were the main force affecting most peoples' lives? That is to say, did political changes in China during the late imperial period, or early post-imperial period, affect Chinese lives more?

The perfect image, the perfect body, the perfect person. It would appear that our society will only accept the perfect.

I asked a question a while ago about whether people could accept someone who was different (as in not your perfect kalvin klien model with the personality to match but not violent or disagreeable) as a partner and 80% of those who responded said that they would try for or wait for something better.

Does this mean that our society is fixated on the perfect? And if I remember my history correctly is that not the time that civilisations in the past have fallen from power and into the slow steady decline of ruin (i.e. Rome)?

It is said that history repeats itself and that those who fail to learn from it are doomed to repeat it, if this is true then is this a warning from history? A warning sign of social decay? And what does this mean for us if it is?

Please explain your answers.
I thank you in advance for your insight.

I'm looking to get nude photographs done of myself as a kind of erotic gift for my special someone. I need to find a good photographer that will do this and don't know where to begin. I don't want someone that runs some sleazy business out of their apartment--just a real photographer that will act professional and be ok with taking some very provocative photos. I'm talking Playboy style by the way--not Penthouse! Any thoughts or ideas?

I was looking through Romeo and Juliet's character list and it mentioned a person named Rosaline. It stated that she was the women whom Romeo is infatuated at the begining of the play. But I can't find the scene where she is mentioned. In what act and what scene was Rosaline mentioned?

Or is it them? I was in an ethics class and we were talking about "what would you say to the imprisoned Hitler".

Everyone was talking about trying to debate him or reason with him. When it came to me I said I'd put a gun to his head and do away with him. People just looked at me like I was insane.

I mean come on the bastard killed like 12 million people and millions more in a war he started. If one person has to die for something like that not to happen, especially the one responsible for it, then it's a small price.
