Every time a man or woman tells me the origin of good is not found in religion I have to laugh so hard. I promise it will be the end of me. Though I find nothing funny about religion or people's beliefs. I laugh at those who say evil does not exist. I laugh at those who say God is nothing more than imagination. I laugh at those who will cry when they realize they are no more and no less real than God. I laugh at those who make me laugh, because they say man is not evil by nature. I laugh because they say, man is good by nature. I laugh when you say, evil does not exist, but I know goodness does.

The world is a glass half empty and half full. Ignorance is no excuse for making me laugh so hard. When I move forward, I can take a step back, if I move left, I can step right and vise versa. It is illogical for you to say one does not exist without the other.

My favorite joke is, people said you can know too little, but you can never know too much. LoL. Sure. Water can never be 2 hot

Do you see around you and visualize hollow in all which is or do you just see with your eyes?
Though my logic appears to be deranged, why does it make logical sense?
That, that is, is not. That, that is not, is. Why are they possible to say, and why would think they are impossible to exist?
What is a paradox, and a parallel universe, so on, and so on? After all science is as logical as it's believer and it's creator. Man logical hardly, we created logic. We had to define the entire world around us, thus creating it into logical data.
The world was once thought to be flat, I am now telling you it does not exist and it does.
Ironically I cannot convince you that you are not real, because I am not real.
If you don't see what I mean, you are too far behind.
Look at all my questions, read and find clues to the puzzle which reveal the truth behind all that is in existence, including all that isn't.
Logic has become truth after years of questioning each theory in our existence.

If it's too hard for you, just admit you don't know. Those that answer I want to see your honest opinion, one that comes from your heart, and share with us your thoughts. What is a perfect existence?

Mine is a world which exists and does not exist. For all that is inside is make-believe and yet seem real to each other. I believe in one where everyone has choice, but cannot choose to be more or less than others. A world where every limit is limitless and yet it has a limit. A world that knows no evil, but evil itself. A world where "nothing exists" and "nothing, exists". A world where I am God of my existence, and yet where it is possible to believe in a God higher in power, truth, good, love, and all which I could admire, so that on days I felt meaningless or weak, he'd give me strength. A world where everyone I love could experience everything I could. A world of dark light. A perfect world, with an imperfect view. That is my idea of perfection. - anything less & we'd be puppets

There are many logical conclusions through reverse logic. A.K.A. every door / possibility has a key.
1. Every day has a tomorrow, tomorrow does not exist.
2. Today comes from non-existence and ends in non-existence.
3. Look at the big picture, when the world ends, what will remain of our existence?
4. Life is an endless cycle of perfection "a perfect circle" between realms of truth and lies. Thus a prison we cannot escape, for death might equal a fate far worse.
5.Everything we believe can be seen as make-believe. A.K.A. a world of sand. We build the world around us from nothing but grains of sand. A.K.A. from scratch.
6.Reverse logic proves: That, that is, is not. That, that is not, is.
7.Everyone alive believes in something. A.K.A. "meaning" to their meaningless lives.
8. What is logical about logic?
9. What proves us to have a good nature? A.K.A. make-believe A.K.A. lies give us life
10. If everything that is made up is questioned, does that not reveal an empty existence?

I'm not a photographer. I use photography as a tool for my work (painting).

I want to set up a part of my art studio for this purpose and I want to buy a small amount of medium quality lighting equipment.
I mostly use directional lighting as I like shadows, but a smaller secondary light source would be good too, so there could be some detail and reflection in the shadows.
Generally I like a warm highlight and a very dim blueish or cool secondary light source.
I haven't done this in a long time and I used to use transparency film, but now I will be working in digital.
Can anyone recommend some suitable lighting equipment for me and possibly give me an online link to a sensible setup scenario ? I realise I'm going to need adjustable stands to raise and lower the lights, which I have to be able to swivel around to get shadows how I want them.
Thank you, Lizzie :o)

I have some training in the use of the fabrics already. If I can simply purchase the fabric at my local fabric store, that would be great, but I'm thinking that I'll end up having to purchase the fabric through a company that deals with aerial acrobatics supplies. I just need to know where to find the fabric, and what type it needs to be. Thanks!

1. I am trying to find my family lineage. So, with only my surname (Bitzegaio), My grandma's maiden name (Law) and my biological father's name (Thomas).....and no money to spend on ancestry.com or any other service...I'm having to do my search to find what exactly is my heritage and to what degree I am of what.

2. There is a German candy bar...by name of the Bitz Bar....(it might be slightly different by name..but Bitz is still the title name to it) or at least there used to be this candy bar. I am wondering if anyone knows if they are still around and if they have a website.

3. If you can't help me on the other two...does anyone know what the hall of records contact info is in the USA or Germany (if they have national databases anyway).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (just please no smart assed "go to ancestry.com" stuff....I can't afford to spend money out on that site..so I'm going to have to do this a little more old school than that).

I’m Bahai. We believe an educator is needed.
Education is of three kinds: material, human and spiritual. Material education is concerned with the progress and development of the body, through gaining its sustenance, its material comfort and ease. This education is common to animals and man.
Human education signifies civilization and progress - that is to say, government, administration, charitable works, trades, arts and handicrafts, sciences, great inventions and discoveries and elaborate institutions, which are the activities essential to man as distinguished from the animal.
Divine education is that of the Kingdom of God: it consists in acquiring divine perfections, and this is true education; for in this state man becomes the focus of divine blessings, the manifestation of the words,..This is the goal of the world of humanity.
Now we need an educator who will be at the same time a material, human and spiritual educator, and whose authority will be effective in all conditions...

Also as the holocaust of six million Jews in World War I was eventually revised to zero, the Jewish magazine FORWARD, November 25, 2005 is continuing to revise downward the number of Jews claimed to have been exterminated in Auschwitz from the one-time figure of nine million, to not millions, not hundreds of thousands, but "thousands" of "deaths," not exterminations.

I'm not saying that after the world congress of jews delcared war on Hilter in the 1930's w/ 40 k protesting in NY alone, that Hilter in return, didn't declare war on the jews. He most certainly did. He rounded up any and all non oath taking people living in Germany, placed them in internment camps, and put #'s on their skin. I believe we all agree this is pretty factual.

However, I'm questioning the amount of jews that died in the internmint camps. I realize that the family of jews or something to that effect, receive a monthly (?) check based on the total # of jews that died in the camps. So...

Hi, I have a Canon PowerShot A570 IS. Recently I've been playing around with some of the different settings, and have figured out some cool stuff to do with slowing the shutter speed, however I still don't understand the aperture setting. What is the effect on the picture from increasing or decreasing the aperture? When should I use a high aperture, and when should I use a low one? Also, anybody with a similar camera (or familiar with this one), what other interesting stuff can I do besides "time lapse" type photos and messing with the aperture? I need some inspiration and information on how to do it...thanks!
