For example, drug users or a diseaseless prostitute. Basically anyone who did not harm another or steal I think offenders of this sort should only be assigned lots of community service rather than be imprisoned.

Can anyone give examples of (preferably major) religious wars or conflicts that did not involve either Christians or Muslims? Any country is fine, and at any point in history.

Geometricly speaking a ray is an infinitely long line with a fixed beginning and no end. a line is also infinite but in 2 directions not just one. Does that make it longer? This is a philosophy question. But if you can answer it mathmatically that may help also.

she wears black velvet &
depending on her mood,
is Rubenesque
or slim as water

tapered black satin
on her tiny feet;
an imperial princess or
a charming tease

her lashes are the colour of dusk,
her eyes amber, emerald
malachite,
depending on her mood

she moves with grace..
if one expresses sadness or pain,
to gently touch one's face
& lingers long in quiet concern

but do not be surprised
at bursts of child-like energy,
pretending to seriously respond
to feathers, bells & fanciful games

she does not acknowledge compliments,
no princess would;
tell her she is beautiful &
you will see a small pink yawn

in her furry little face...
depending on her mood

[reflecting on a feminine feline]

So why did the most recent film "King Arthur" from Jerry Bruckheimer Films, say that he lived in 452 a.d.? Did Romans really patrol Hadrians wall in 452 a.d.?

Hey all!! Alright, for auditions for Urinetown in the coming semester the requirements are a ballad, an upbeat, and a monologue, each of the requirements can't be over a minute. I'm hoping for the part of Little Sally.
I'm a alto/mezzo-soprano with a pretty good range, but my strongest notes are under high e (e5), and I have a really well developed lower range.
- I think I should be fine finding a monolouge(I have three books to search through!!)
- I'm looking at 'I Know Things Now' from INTO THE WOODS for my upbeat. I think it displays youth and it's a fun song that cuts well. However, I still would be open to suggestions! - I've looked at a bunch of stuff for my ballad... but I can't really seem to find any ballads that make me seem younger... any suggestions at all?? Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!

i know how to write a regular trill that tells the performer to play a note embellishing up, but how do you notate a trill so that he embellishes down? for instance, if i wrote a trill marking on a B note, normally the performer would alternate between B and C but how could i tell them to alternate between B and Bb or B and A?

Life is illogical. All we do is get born, contribute to society for a bit, then die. There really is no need to keep living besides the joys of life, right? I think existance is illogical and therefore unneccesary. The only thing that makes life worth living is the emotions we share, right? Does that mean the people who don't have enotions have a pointless life? Does that mean the Spock should shoot himself?

Did any of that make sense?

What are the different shades of love?

Things that you have read in literature or have experienced in real life. Talk deep. Go beyond and come up with something profound. Why are some love relationships twisted? For example, she did not love him even though he loved her because he was a mirror image of herself, the person she hated.

I want to take up an instrument, but i really dont know what instrument to start up.

i used to play the violin, but never practiced at it. however, i have got older and realised that it would be a good stress relief and relaxing to learn an instrument.
