Look creationists, it's not that hard: We see things the way they are because we are here to see them. Sounds like a simple statement, but it is actually much deeper and you need to reflect on this. You use the Anthropic Principle every time you invoke the word 'God'. Your problem is the ABUSE of this concept. It should not be used every time you can't explain something. Your inability to explain something should compel you to try and understand it in a more detailed way or learn its mechanisms, not cop out and invoke some ambiguous concept. Bottom line: CREATIONISTS HAVE LAZY BRAINS...

I am going to a festival that has children's author Tomie dePaola as the main guest author. I would love to take some of his books to have signed, but have heard rumors that he doesn't sign books. Does anyone have knowledge of this?

Consider celebrities who are viewed as examples for
minors and other easily influenced individuals.

Some of these celebrities obtain their "coolness" from
drug use and irresponsible behavior. Media tabloids
give the celebrities the publicity that the celebrities require.

What are your thoughts on allowing publicizing a celebrity
in drug rehab as an example that irresponsibility has
consequences? If only a celebrities enjoyment of
irresponsibility is publicized then isn't that reinforcing
irresponsibility for the media viewers.

The main controversy in this question is as follows:
Is it more socially beneficial to prevent drug use before
it happens?
OR/Both?
Is it more socially beneficial to make current drug users
comfortable with seeking rehab?

Obviously this a multi-dimensional controversy. Some people
develop drug habits due to sincere life crisis while others
develop drug habits for unreasonable casual reasons.

...the closest I can think of is masochist but I don't quite think it fits the bill. I'm looking for a word to describe someone who will put themselves in a potentially hostile situation with scant regard for their own wellbeing, and not neccessarily for a good cause- some one who will get in to a fight with a dozen other people and simply not care, or not even register, they don't stand a chance.

What's the word? something-ist, maybe?

And please don't just say psycho or maniac. Thanks!

I absolutely love 35mm photography, everything from the focus, to the color and to the texture of its photos. I know how dreadfully expensive 35mm film is, so I am wondering if there's any way to take 35mm style photos with a digital camera (or if anyone knows any low-cost digital cameras that do this, or Photoshop techniques)

The average person believes so.
There is a lot of evidence towards it.
I'm researching the philosophical resoning to lie.

But I'm interested in anyone who strongly believes that lying is not selfish other than in situations in which the lying is used to get SOMONE ELSE out of trouble.

I am a teenager. True.
Outside, I am young a restless.
Indestructable and sometimes a bit cruel.
I am a hypocrite of the men who make mistakes.
I am. Yet I am human, and therefore I think.

Multi-question.

I do not know my destiny.
Its impossible to figure out at this point in my life.
But why am I here?
Why are WE here?

I am sure there is a begining.
I know there is an end.
The meanings of both??
I do not know.

Preach to me your theories.

I am a teenager.
Adulthood is soon enough.
Until then the inner part of me is curious.
Thirsty for knowledge and the meaning of life.
She doesn't want to go on a do the wrong thing...
She wants to do the right.
She wants to be a hypocrite no longer.

I am. Yet I am human, and therefore I think.

Your theories on the meaning of life please.
Your theories on the meaning of time, the idea that there may be none left.
Your theories on death...heaven hell and the afterlife.
Your theories on feelings of hope and grief.
