In the sense that one could argue there is no such thing as truth, as i have heard many declare. Though I've also heard it argued that the evidence of fact is proof of truth's existence.

But are fact and truth synonymous?

Written by Sara Gruen, a novel on the New York Times best seller list. Looking for my book buddy from before.

If you haven't yet read this, it's a beautiful novel, a definitely must read.

When I was a teenager, I read a paperback book about child abuse (or at least I think that I read it). It was about a young girl that ran away from home and was taken in by an abusive family. They would tie her to the bed and spray her off outside when she wet the bed. On the cover of the book, there was a picture of a doll with a large hole in her head! The details of the book are too vivid to have come from a dream, but I can't find the book or remember the title to save my life. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have just finished His dark Materials and Harry potter before that. I am looking for somthing a bit more grown up now, although I do like my fantasy.

Having said that it might be nice to read about the real world for a change.

I just spent $40 on photo paper for my photo class, and without even thinking of the sensitivity, i freakin opened the pack and took out all the papers from the package. My room was pretty brightly lit too. The paper looks yellow. Can I still use it, or do I have to spend another butt load of money on more paper?

Warning not a question really.

Ok Im not against it. There are a few occasions I would use it:

1. when my eye sight fades and a diopter/glasses/contacts wont let me anymore

2. if i cant prefocus or do a "focus pull" - so in the event of shooting at speed where the subject wil take a direction unforseen - could be fashion or sports -

3. if i was drunk

4. if im lazy and dont really care about the image

People say why use manual when you have auto focus?

I answer if I spend 2 hours going somewhere, spend an hour setting up lights and maybe props or altering the scene, white balance, measure adjust the light, select the depth and shutter speed (taking into account flash etc) for the correct exposure - after all that why would I let the camera mess it up by using auto focus?

Why would i hand the control of the focus over to the camera?

Is it more artistic than people are?

Does anyone here me?

I want to take a photo for the front side of a mirror, but the camera image is reflecting inside the mirror which I do not want, so what can I do?

Today was the first day of my philosophy: focus on critical thinking class, and the professor opened with a question,

"If the most significant person in your life believed Santa Claus existed, would it affect your feelings in the relationship to the point of ending the relationship?"

It was posed to argue that what other people believe should matter to us.

Ever the skeptic, I immediately thought, NO. Thinking of my father, and that he is entitled to believe what he wants, and also that my relationship with him would never end, and if it did certainly not over something so arbitrary.

Anyway, bc it was the first day, i kept my mouth shut, and he went on to declare that he "guarantees" it would end the relationship. No exceptions, no nothing.

A hypothetical situation paired with an absolute truth? What! In a critical thinking classroom? That seems so illogical to me.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a trick, He seemed to sure of himself for it to be a ploy
