I suspect fear of death as a finality is dispositional. I've posted before, and I'm puzzled that some non-theists fear death while others do not in the least. I suspect the fear of death as a human inevitability depends on the person. Why do you think some non-theists fear death while others do not? Why do some irreligious people die peacefully, almost smugly, while others struggle with it in a state of utter terror? My suspicion is that it depends on the sensitivity of the limbic system, which increases ones sensitivity to a particular reality.

My character is one of those shallow people who is always obsessed with what's in and trying to follow the latest trend. I need some help thinking up couple of different trends or fads for my character to go through, eg. Hippy etc. and I need costume ideas and the way she would talk etc.
Any help or ideas would be great!

After a long and lonely night with my horse, i feel the vibes has transformed from once prosperous to one of the worst brown vibes the country has seen since 67'. How can we improve the life of the bag heads, and their bag children who sweep my chimney?

look into your eyes, but i cannot for i will drown there inless pools of beauty

i look at into your hair, but i am blinded by the soft strands of silk glimmering into my eyes

i look into your face, i see a face of a goddes, yet i turn away for i am not worthy

such a beautiful person yet i cannot see you, but then i look deeper and deeper still, and i see something more magnifacent beautiful then your endless pools of beauty, something more magnifacent than your glimmering strands of silk, even more amazing than your heavenly face

i see a heart of gold, something kind and gentle, yet so strong and hard,

then my alram clock rings, the early morning sun shines into my eyes, and i wakeup from my dream that seemed so real, i think where can i find a person like that, someone with almost surreal beauty

i look behind me, to my left then my right, i search far and wide then i look in the most obviouos place

alas i have found the girl i have searched so hard with, but she was right infront of me all this time

I used to love this book in the 70's-80's that was a kids book about cars that would somehow pile up and I think there was an elephant in the story. They might have even been punchbuggies but I can barely remember the details. Sorry, if any of this sounds familiar and you know the name I would really appreciate it. Trying to track this book for years. Thanks

The West had the Enlightenment and it's still fighting for breath. Others were not so fortunate and are fighting each other and the West. But with Iraq dominating the headlines, and the mutual demonisation between Islamic and American fundamentalism - and climate change - are we asking the wrong questions, focussed on side issues?

Hey, I'm doing a humorous interpretation called "Almost Heaven" for my school speech and debate team, in which I portray one of the characters as a hillbilly. I'm having problems pulling off the voice and I keep sounding more like a "cowboy". A lot of judges have pointed this out to me and I got about a month to work on it before my next competition. If anyone has any advice, please post away!

-Thank you

What legal measures were taken against them by whites in California? What motives were given to justify exclusion of the Chinese from American society? Do these seem different from, or similar to the objections posed to other groups of immigrants?

Please answer this ASAP.

Best answer points for the most thorough and complete answer that is easy to understand. :)
