I ask this, as i had a question removed as "offensive" for stating that as an Assyrian (part of the Chaldo-Assyrian Ethnic group in Iraq) i was tired of my people being labelled Arab by the media. We are not Arabs, we speak Aramaic, use our own script, and predate the arabs by 2000 years in Iraq.

I also pointed out that the Arabs were either immigrant minorities, or non existent in many middle eastern and north africn countries prior to the Arab/Muslim conquest in 7TH Century AD. I also pointed out hat there was little or no conversion to Christianity (or any other religion), after the Muslim conquest, therefore most mid east christians oiginate from BEFORE the arabs. Also many christian peoples still use Syriac, Coptic Egyptian, Western Aramaic etc in religious services, showing that they acknowledge their identity. Many countries regard Maronites, Copts, Syriacs etc as DISTINCT ETHNIC groups. The UN, EU and Iraqi govornment acknowledge Assyrians and Chaldeans are NOT arab

I am and editor of writings at world social I have helped many writers like Simon K Hartfield ,Harry Sikanisari, Roberts M Winters, Salomo V M Pundai, Crrile R Q Pihap etc. Before commending anything or point to any writer I always go to the world , on of such is Yahoo, to know the truth about what authors say..I never allow imbecilities to be written to make sensations for some cents.By doing this I hope to be a guardian of moralities which can be corrupted in so many ways.

Just finished his sixth Women's Murder Club book and was checking out his website. ABC is making a series in the fall with the four original members of the club. I think it is going to be so cool, and I don't usually watch television but I sure will in the fall.

I want to get into acting.. what are the first steps that I need to take and help get this dream started? I'm about to turn 17 and I want to get out there as soon as possible (and by "out there," I don't mean I want to be in movies by the end of the year, I mean "out there" in the sense of auditioning or even getting started with this career.)

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not your average teenager and I have talked this out with my family.. I love acting and I don't want to be some "useless celebrity that just wants to be famous." This is what I really want to do, so if you have any negative comments about this because I am so young or "foolish," please keep them to yourself!

I'm reading the 7th one the day it comes out, but the last time I read the 5th and 6th ones were like a year and a half ago, I have the other ones memorized pretty much.

Where can I find detailed summaries of the 5th and 6th book so as to be in the loop when I read the last one. Wikipedia offers vague, short ones, I need something along the lines of chapter by chapter summaries. Thanks alot.

With anti-abortionism, fear of aging, keeping people alive as vegetables for years on end... and ultimately this overwhelmingly intense and illogical fear of death.
Everywhere on earth, in every species except for humans, life and death is a matter confronted daily. Each day is a quest to find food to maintain one's own survival, and often times that results in the necessity to claim another life. Simultaneously, one worries about their own life, and fears bigger predators. For all of the animal kingdom, this is a normal part of existence. So why is it such a big issue for humans?

And why do humans ultimately fear death at all? It seems that humans illogically fear anything that is unknown to them. It also seems that statistically, in cases where a person is fearing an unknowns simply because it is an unknown, there is most often nothing to fear at all. So then death, being the ultimate unknown, is simply feared. People so rarely consider the possibility that death is not unpleasant.

I'm not sure if there are people who want to get hypnotized for the same reason as I would, but anyway, the only reason why I want to get hypnotized is to increase my acting ability by taking my sister's acting ability. She's a really great actress, but she doesn't want to be an actress and I do, though I don't act as good as her. I got her full permission, she doesn't care, she's just going to waste her talent anyway. That's why I want to do it. Will it work?
