Hi, I want to save my photos onto CD. I want to rotate them all so I they are all vertical. Will this spoil the quality if I want reprints later? I though I'd read somewhere that if you rotate a photo it might spoil the printing quality? (I hope this makes sense?) Thank you in advance :o)

Before you reply, let me explain my thoughts. Many discuss, "When does the embryo become a human being?" These people are so obsessed with the idea that this is the only thing that matters. Then when I ask them, "What do you think about hunting, or the death penalty?" they reply they're all for it, or that's different. Killing animals is "OK, because we're a higher being". If anything, I think this gives us the responsibility of morality, to recognize that taking advantage over other species with awareness of their position is inherently wrong. The death penalty is simply the same thing as aborting a late-week fetus, except that the fully developed human actually has dreams, hopes, fears, loves, aspirations, feelings, and a capacity of knowledge.

My view is that morality should be questions based on whether or not someone or something is suffering. That is, after all, what it boils down to, is it not? So, the question is, to me, when does the embryo actually able to *suffer*?

On September 11, 2001, al-quaeda terrorists hijacked two commercial airliners (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) and crashed the two airliners into the New York City twin towers. There had been many good people who died on that day. This was one of the most memorable tragedies in History.

I am reading Stalin's speeches given at various times and places during the German invasion of the Soviet Union and he persistently emphasizes on the fact that Germans also have Italian, Rumanian, Finns and Austrian divisions at the Russian front. But were these divisions as decisive as Stalin wants us to think? Or is he just giving an excuse for the initial advances of the Nazis in Russia? I'm not talking only in terms of the number of divisions but also their combat skills and the quality of their military material etc

I adore quite a number of actors. However, I can never tell which are method actors and which are not. I am just in love with their performances. After browsing some sources, I can only say most actors that are regarded as method actors do always portray intense/neurotic characters. Is there a relation? And can u ever tell? If yes, how?
