This entire country is based on lies and hypocrisy! The early settelers came here mainly for religious freedom, but killed and forcibly converted the natives to thier religions. The Mormons were persacuted for thier beliefs and killed. The goverment also promised the natives that they could stay on thier land as long as the buffalo were alive, then hired people to hunt all of the buffalo! In the present we deny the right for people to come here for better lives! Instead of sending them all back why not try to make where they are running from better for them? The goverment denys the right to homosexual marrige in most states. And we are spending all this money to destroy other countries and lose our own men and women in the wars. I just don't understand how this is a free country.

i am not too happy with a previous chosen preferred answer;
we know that the universe is (virtually) Empty and extremely hostile-repeat-hostile to at least human life.I am not saying"go
there and see"! i am saying that better people have made these facts permanent.For all i know the knowledgable people out-there may be able to add-to the facts about this universe
(as i think the original question/er had in mind).

I honestly can seldom tell, when I’m doing one of these surreal portraits, if it ‘works’ as a painting or not. The ‘moon’ matches her hair but isn’t consistent with the natural looking bricks. I like this ‘moon’ but ... mix and match is sometimes a bit tricky to pull off. It’s a hell of a lot easier to do some stupid ‘normal’ portrait than it is to play around with altering skin tones, etc.

Something is amiss with this Miss. So, what to do?

(She isn't really bad. She's just the intense type and she’s based on a photograph of an old girlfriend of mine.)

"People will watch this and say 'Oh my God thats Horrible' and continue eating their dinner."

Do you believe the quote is true?

Best i think would be A Time To Kill by John Grisham, best trashy novel would be Riders by Jilly Cooper which i have read twice, i have read all the books in the series, they are light hearted and just good fun to read. At the minute i'm reading Winter In Madrid by CJ Sansom which iam quite enjoying, except i have a bad habit of flicking to the end of the book to see what happens! I dont think i have a worst book as i never get past the 1st chapter if i dont like something. I also thought the Horse Whisperer was good, cant believe the ending though as i saw the film first, i was like oh my god they killed Robert Redford!!!

I'm trying to find the name of a ballet/piano song.
there's no words to it, though, hah. So it's very hard to find.
I've seen it many times in movies, when people open Jewelry Boxes. &It's at the beginning of a Hip Hop song by Nas.
Sorry to be so vague, but i really need to know, and it's a very common song.

For once, I would love to hear an atheist defend his/her view. I am tired of only hearing atheists critic the views of others. WHY do you believe what you do?

Is there some grand scientific evidence that shows there is no God?

Is there some philosophical insight pointing to a "no God" universe?

What is the foundation of your view?

What do you have? If nothing, would you kindly admit to being an agnostic instead? Just say, "I don't know if there is a God."

(Let me guess... you are about to critic Christians again?)

If our actions are dictated by our values at the time of action, and those we interact with also act on their values, is every interaction not already set?

It was about a little boy who grew up in the country and loved to run his garden, and when he moved to the city he convinced some kids he met to plant seeds on the roof of a building.
