My mom is a total religious fanatic,(sorry, but she is.)She doesn't let me do anything. Like read books like Harry Potter, because there witchcraft and it's "Evil". Well, today I realized my mom took 4 of my Harry Potter books and hid them. She took one before, and I asked for it, but she wouldn't give it to me. Even after my told my dad about it, which he didn't really help but say I could have it the next morning, she still didn't give it back. I found it in her closet the next day but..
You would have though I'd be more careful of where I hide my books. But I'm not sure when she took the other books, as they were spread around my room, hiding, but probably not very well.I know my mom has the books, I asked her -nicely- but she still says I've been "disobediant" and says "she'll think about it." I know she won't give them back, but I need some reassurance, or what you think. She can't just snoop around my room and steal my books right? What should I do? Im 13, btw, sorry i'm whiny..

also, can the science that scientists produce be separated from the other aspects of their lives? Can we monitor discriminatory behavior without restricting academic freedom?

This is a fabulous one-shot story written by someone at muggle net fan fiction about Ron and Hermione at the wedding and how the got together. Although I thought the way the got together was cute, I wished it would have been like this. Please tell me if you agree.

I don't know why, but I am pretty bored with everything. I am not motivated by anything. I am not unhappy, but I think there has got to be something more. I have a good marriage and kids. Any ideas?

Namely, humans. For example, if all humans were dead, if all life were dead completely, would the concept that 1+1=2 exist? If nothing existed, would 'nothing', the concept, exist?

My father and I had tickets for Beauty and the Beast on Broadway for July 18th at 8. When we finally got into Manhattan, we were turned away by police officers at 57th St., and they were directing traffic away from Manhattan because of the steam pipe explosion. We missed the show, and when my father called the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre the next day, a woman he spoke to told him about 50 other people missed the show, and they would call us back with the manager's decision on what to do. So far, they have called back and told us they will not be compensating any of these 50 people in any way, and we should dispute the charges with our credit card company. Is there anything more that we can do? Is it even possible to find out who the other 50 people are and do something jointly?

America has been stifulling alot of nations freedoms for centuries, Its just karma. We have to be mindfull of others, I believe, or else we will suffer in the long run! Is there some truth to this senerio as to what is happening in America today!

Protect Me, I'm Fragile

Kiss me,
And tell me it will be okay.
Stop the blood,
And wipe away the tears.
Come into my life,
And never leave.
Promise me
To be here forever.
Be there
Every time I call your name.
Tell me you love me
And mean it.
Look past my faults
And see the good in me.
Hold my hand,
And walk with me.
Light my path,
And point me in the right direction.
Lay with me
And remain until I fall asleep.
Protect me,
And keep all of the bad away.
Observe me,
And make sure I don't stray too far.
Stay behind,
And catch me when I fall.
Break down with me
When I descend into your hands.
I don't want to
Feel so alone inside this world.
Can you find
The reason I feel so depressed?
Make it go away
And put my pain to rest.

Aren't You Missing Something?:

My hands slide down your back
In an expecting manner.
Confusion falls upon me and I ask:
"Aren't angels supposed to have wings?"

It's not emo or dark really in any sort of way. It's expressing my fear of being forgotten when I leave the world.


Immortalize Me, My Essence:

Make sure the words on my epitapth are beautiful.
I want to be remembered by them.
I want those words, that line,
To immortalize me,
My essence.
Time won't forget me,
But everyone else will.
Promise to remember me,
To never move on.
I am not afraid of death,
Just to be forgotten.
Lick my lips,
And tell me they're sweet.
Tell me that taste
Will reside in your mouth forever.
Make me more than a memory.
Make me a part of you,
And make sure death will recognize my name.

Actually, its just a paradox, but it goes like this.

There is an infinite amount of numbers. Which means there is an infinite amount of odd numbers. The amount of odd numbers in existance is EXACTLY equal to the amount of numbers in existance, because infinite = infinite exactly. If the amount of odd numbers is EXACTLY equal to the amount of numbers, then all numbers must be odd.

Same can be said about Even numbers.

So, actual question: Is this paradox idea original? And, Do you like it? Does it make any sense?
