I really want to learn to play music from Riverdance, especially 'Reel Around The Sun', and songs with a heavy and fast pace that sound Irish. Anyone know anything?

Athiests: Do you think that it is amazing there are millions of people who believe in a book, written by uneducated people who does not know how to write.

You can tell by the sentences in the bible, these people were totally uneducated. Athiests if you can take the time to read some of the bible you would laugh so hard it is crazy. I don't want to start on which verses are ludicrous and stupid. These people were really uneducated. These uneducated, ignorant people write the same redundant sentences. It is like these people wrote the bible to make some money.

I wonder who came up with the idea to write the Holy bible.

One stupid book got people in a scared frenzy, because they think some rebel god is going to send these people for eternity.

Are people that gullible that they think they are going to hell after they die.

Just by these uneducated morons talking about hell you know that this book is a fiction.

Back when the Twin Towers were attacked, I remember hearing about a song_and hearing the song itself as well_which described the life of a magnate coming to New York City. Everyone thought_don't know about the singer himself if he believed as well_that the song was a prophecy about Osama Bin Laden. And whoever heard it got chills seeing the similarity.

Does anyone remember this song or knows a translation to it?

The Nazis took delight it seems in the ongoing humiliation of Jewish peoples throughout Europe. The slave trade around the world for generations, delighted in the humiliation of those captured.

How does humiliation affect the human psyche or condition?

I really do regret it. Because it is a bunch of crap. But then back then no one had an education. How did these morons know how to write? Who would be stupid enough to follow along?

How many people actually wasted their lives to write a cheap Holy Bible?

It makes me sick that I have to witness a funeral today. And humans are saying that a person is still alive in another place. When their actual body is laying stiff in the casket. Can humans be this stupid?

I lie dreaming when my father comes to me and says,I hope you write a book someday.
He thinks I waste my time,but outside, he spends hours over stones, gauging the size and shape a rock will take to fill a space,to make a wall of dreams around our home.
In the house he built with his own hands
I wish for the lure that catches all fish or girls with hair like long moss in the river.
His thoughts are just as far and old
as the lave chips like flint off his hammer,
and he sees the mold of dreams taking shape in his hands.
His eyes see across orchids on the wall,
into black rocks, down to sea,and he remembers that harbor full of fish,
orchids in the hair of women thirty years before
he thought of me, this home, these stone walls.
Some rocks fit perfectly, slipping into place
with light taps of his hammer.
He thinks of me inside and takes a big slice of stone,
and pounds it into the ground to ma

I'm not that familiar with American history. But I understand before the Civil War the Republican party was anti-slavery, more pro-immigration, pro-European, less socially conservative; and the Demo party was pro-slavery, states-rights (anti-federal), anti-immigration, and more allied with Protestant fundamentalists (socially conservative) and dominated the South. Sometime after the Civil War there was a switch in basic values between the 2 parties. I read that in the rural South until recently you had people who were still Democrats because their ancestors were and they simply hadn't gotten the new message (Clinton's bio said this & he benefitted from this). So when & why did the parties reverse?

I want to have an off-white, "peachy" white in my film BW pics. Instead of a blaring, harsh white.

This project is based on:
Process – a systematic series of actions directed to some end; a continuous action, taking place in a definite manner.
Semiotics – the study of signs and symbols as elements of communication. The signifier, or the object/image, leads to the signified, which is the associated meaning.

For this project, consider how you gather your source materials, whether they are actively sought out, deliberately chosen, found, or happen by chance. You may use ANY material (within reason), incorporation of other artistic mediums, documentation of an action, use of participants, etc. The process may also be a springboard for the imagery that you gather.
How would you tackle this project as a photography ma
Then, create a complete composition in Photoshop, using the idea of semiotics to communicate your interpretation of your theme. Consider the relationships that are created by the imagery used, the various types of interpretation, and how different viewers may read the image

Think about it. You wake up each day to hear that people die. Wars are fought because of beliefs, religion and ultimately power... People are judged, daily by societies and cultures, present long before we've been born...

We're born into a world of conflict... We rise every day to fight a new battle, knowing fully well that even when we're "happy", there'll be a time when another problem comes, when another challenge awaits... Another burden...

In eventuallity, we will all face death. And for those who believe that this world is only temporal, well... good for them. What of the others, what are we living for? Contention for happiness for just one day?!

Civilization has gone on for so long, millenium and it's just an endless cycle, one after another... The day we were conceived, we have been chosen to walk this path of despair.

And there is nothing we can do about it.

What's the point of it? Why do we even exist? If we didn't exist, we wouldn't even need to feel...
