I know, I've mentioned this before. But the thumbs down routine makes no sense. Maybe the original idea made sense to somebody, but the way most people use it makes no sense, and is a useless gesture.

The desire to do anything is Divine...The mind the body and the heart and the soul have to be in full agreement for your vision to happen and your desire to come true :))

I am yearning to find the perfect book that has a great combination of horror and erotic. I have read HP Lovecrafts works and love it. Any great authors from long ago, possible something that made modern library's top 100. I have read a lot of authors , unfortunately none that are great writers. I would something that is a bit sadistic and boredline repulsive.

How would that have affected life these days?

In the past books have been written that the saying, "pen mightier than the sword" rung so true. Like during the Civil War, that book was written, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that started the culture to stand up and say, "That's it! No More!" That was the end of slavery right there. So my question is, where could I find a book about reshaping an ideal? It happens all the time and people gain better understanding about themselves. Like with Philidelphia movie with Tom Hanks. Things changed and have been that way since. I am working to help improve the greatness of people's lives, through their hearts with God's help. He wants me to do this.

I need to know of a book where I can learn to reshape the ideals of any non survival situation, as God would ONLY see them as ungodly and not in his name. That would be totally againist his love and word. I don't need religion texts. Just a simple book to help improve things. That's why I am a writer. Please just anwser this. Your's will be later on.

Under no circumstances should you allow anything that happens in your life to lead you to believe that life, with all of its challenges, is not worth living......

Hi, I was recently admitted to a fairly prestigious orchestra in my city. I have a seating audition tomorrow, and I keep messing up my piece whenever I play it for anyone--it's fine when I'm practicing, but I get really nervous and mess up even just playing for my parents. How can I avoid getting really nervous and screwing up massively in the audition?????? Help!

i think that those listed above are a sin. i do associate with some people who are gay but i highley disagree with it. if we were meant to be this way - some lesbian woman would have male parts and vis versa. it is unatrual. nothing against people who feel diffrently - but please share your views on this subject.

I've seen some pictures of different parts of it on the internet,and,many of the buildings appear to be abandoned and in a serious state of disrepair.

For those of you who don't know, Heritage USA was based in South Carolina.

Will most of those buildings be torn down,and the whole area used for something else? Or, just left alone?

To anyone from South Carolina,or even North Carolina,please try to answer this question.Thanks.

is there any way to bring about enough empirical evidence to state that we live in an objective universe as opposed to a subjective universe?

Like my question earlier about the angel. Will they praise that person or will they use that person as a specimen? And will they accept that person or will they label that person a mutant (like in X-men)? Again, what do you think?

We all know the question: are we nice or violent by nature? Or something like that...

Anyways, I think that we're violent by nature. Lets assume that we weren't civilized. Reproduction would increase the population upwards...if two adults had just one kid (which, they'd probably have more, anyways), there'd be three people instead of two. Apply this to, lets say, a million people. How would nature offset that? By making us violent. The stronger would instinctively kill the weak to get a better chance at food/the more dominiate females, and it would also speed along evolution.


I was just theorizing today in Chemistry class..


Anyways, tell me what you think.

It isn't a matter of vocabulary or grammar. Its more or less about not being able to formulate the pictures and ideas I have in my head into words.

I'm an extremely visual person. Thoughts come to me as pictures without internal narrative. I just 'see' it. So, whenever I try to write about what I see for various reasons (novel, game design document, script, etc.) the words fail to come. I can see the image vividly but whenever I DO make an attempt at describing it, it seems shallow and boring, nothing as epic as it comes to me.

I'd greatly appreciate any tips or sources that assist writers. I don't think its writer's block because its not a lack of idea, but just an inability to formulate the ideas to words.

Thanks in advance to anyone whom offers help!
