and built a skatepark in the woods...began to build actually....
I left the project on hold for a while and today my wooden planks are gone and made into a little hut a little further away, a construction that could serve as a ramp just like I wanted to build. 6ft tall, well built, all you have to do is make a slope and you've got a great quarter pipe. I'm so troubled....what could this be? Could the villagers be making fun of me or something??

If somehow you were transported back 500 years in the past, during the time when explorers were sailing around and exploring North and South America, could you survive in the past?

Explain your answer besides saying yes or no.

1. Is it justifiable to kill, maim, or cripple someone to protect yourself or others? Why or why not?

2. What sort of treatment should be allowed to illegal immigrants? Why or why not?

3. How much compassion should be shown to people who knowingly and willingly act without care for other people, or with hypocrisy?

We as humans define our world by our beliefs and conceptions. If we believe the world if flat and the sun revolves around us, then it does, it will not matter what the truth is to us it will be as we believe. So if this is the case why then have we convinced ourselves that a fairy tale type (not mirror but type) love is impossible?

The fairy tales written down, not our modern sanitised children’s versions but originals, were based on the oral tradition of the previous generations, in effect on the legends of the generations that came before. All legends contain a grain of truth, at least one single fact that the legend is based on with the rest being an attempt to explain this fact. All creation myths are built on this, the fact - something exists, the legend - trying the explain why. All legends have some form of truth to them, a basic story line fleshed out with extraordinary things to make sure it is remembered. A fairy tale is based on a legend, in effect it is a legend.

So why then is it that we (or at least most) believe, if all legends have some truth and most fairy tales are legends, that it is impossible to have a fairy tale type love in reality? What is it about ourselves, as adults in this world, that makes us so cynical and jaded that we believe that it is impossible?

AND

Is there anyway to reverse this cynicism and ‘jading’?

Please explain your answers.

Thanks.

I am not LDS but live in the state of Utah and am really tired of this forum being used to castigate a group of people who are humans just like any of you. Its for genealogy not making insulting remarks about anyones religions. We all have our opinions about anything or anyone but this isn't the place for it. Go to the Philosophy forum to spout your vitrial not here. And before you mouth off about anyone or anything find out what your talking about before you make yourself look like a fool.
I am 81 years old and remember a man names Hitler and remarks like what is going on here scare me as I remember what he created for people that were of the "wrong"religion.

I have a question about my digital camera. Let me preface the question by saying that I am not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to digital cameras, but I can follow your response if you'll spell it out well.

Basically, the other night I was trying the trick with "Painting in the air" with a flashlight in the dark. I cranked the shutter speed to 20 secs. so that I could paint quite a bit. The pictures turned out perfectly.

Now. How do I slow down the shutter speed and do a similar picture in daylight? It seems that I can only take slow shutter pictures during the night. I tried to take pictures inside my house and oustide during the daytime, but as soon as I switched the shutter speed to a slower time, every picture I took was completely white.

What settings do I have to change to do something like that during the day. I was trying to take some kind of "Trace" speed blur picture of a car passing, but again - I just got an all white picture, nothing visible. Help please!
