I have always wondered on what basis society can differentiate between the killing of a dog and the killing of a bug. Why would it be acceptable to kill a bug, yet when it comes to a dog or other more "intelligent" animals, we find it wrong to senselessly kill it. Any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

This is exactly why I never want a job. "Be here by this hour" "do this by that hour"
Money money money money
Then they start treating their loved ones (Wife, husband, friends, etc) like they were nothing but things, this is especially a big problem with husbands towards wifes.
Even the nicest people worry more about their money, cars, etc.

Who invented this way of life? And why?
Howcome we can't just cooperate with eachother rather than letting a higher order control our lives?
Why dont we value inner peace instead of materialistic possessions? Hasn't a lack of inner peace destroyed a large portion of the world?
I know darwanism talks about how all humans are savages with no feelings. If all humans are like that, then why was anarchism and communism invented?
Howcome very few of us humans, especially young ones are capable of living peacefully without authority, and why are these few people frowned apon?

For those of you that think I'm 55, I'm not. I'm actually 17.

Hi! I would like to take photos of the jewelry I make and post them on my website. I have taken photos before using a the MACRO function and have experimented with light--both natural and flash. Problem is, the slightest scratch on silver or spec of dust is magnified 100x and one sees the inconsequential imperfections better than the piece as a whole.

What simple techniques can I use with a digital camera to get a flattering photo of my work? Thanks so much for your help. Please keep your answers clear and succinct...like in Photography for Dummies, and you will earn that 10 points! :-)

The shark starts dashing hear and there,
Waiting for my life to drop from the air.
As soon as you write back,
The shark starts to attack.
My body broken to bits,
But its not as bad as your hits!
The shark starts feasting on me,
And no one lives near the sea!
