Arts & Humanities - 19 October 2007

I am a diehard Imperialist, Colonialist and general right-wing British Nationalist but for this question I am keeping my opinions quiet and please don't let them influence your answer.

What I'd like to know, from as unbiased a perspective as possible, is did the good points of the British Empire outweigh the bad or vice versa, in the long run? From the perspective of Britain, the Colonies and her enemies.

Thanks!

I already paid. These photos are going on my portfolio. I look a hell of a lot better than this photo shoot snapped me.

I posted the question earlier, but forgot to put a link to the pics.

The first 3 in the set are from the photographer. If you notice, in the 3rd pic, and the first, I hardly have a chin. My forehead is large, and I have no cheek bones. I am pale. I look skinny, and I have no abdominal definition. What the hell is wrong here. The third done by the photographer was at least taken at a better angle, and made me look like a have a chin, but the light was blinding me. The rest of the pics I took on my little old macintosh. What's going on here? I look like a girl in my photo shoot. Don't even completely look like myself. Not masculine and undefined. I'm blown away. Can someone tell me what's going on. I mean they like some of the photos, but to me these are the best that came from the shoot. Do I need a different photographer, different light. I'm baffled. Please help. By the way, I'm not conceited, just blown away. And, I AM NOT TRYING TO SHOW OFF (believe me). Thanks!

This is for college. This student invited a few of us to practice something for school. The problem is that it's at his house and I already said that I would go. Now that I see that the majority of the people have canceled, I want to cancel too. I'm afraid that his feeling will be hurt. He is new to the United States so he is really friendly. I helped him out with a lot of the things, but I feel bad about going. Uncomfortable and I have a bunch of things I need to do. I feel sick to my stomach. What excuse should I come up with? I'm canceling last minute. Why do I care about others. It sucks. Advice. Excuse?
