Pullman quoted in an interview that "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief". And also stated that it was his reply to Chronicles of Narnia, which of course are constructed on the very foundations he discredits. Is his attacks uncalled for?

Obviously thinking Wittgenstein...

Further, do the rules of the game and the playing of the game represent part of a greater whole?

(My suspicion is no - the rules are in the playing...)

***"World peace" is not an acceptable answer because, 1) that phrase has become trite and over used, and, 2) it'll never happen. I know, that sounds grim, but do give it some thought and you'll see why I say that.

Other than that, what do you REALLY want out of life? What would make you really happy if you had it?

You might like to say yes, given the freedom of asking that is here, but I would invite you to think again. Why for instance certain question that you answer, or ever star for their excellence, came to someone else where in the matter of their being they mattered so much to you?

a race. an animal. basic design:survive, any means necessary. secondary coding(design):limited means. Such are humans, who will lie, or kill for basically anything that has meaning to them. Which again takes us back to the basic design. from the very first human to the latest generation, we carryu the same traits, same qualities, slightly differing from another, due to the secondary design, whcih we can call family, or religion, society, or simply emotions. We are all driven by emotions. Soul is an emotion. Guilt is an emotion. want is a an emotion and we all want many and different things. endless is their need for want. and contagious is this need, if its one thing they want. Money, pleasure, luxury, food, shelter! there is no such thing as a need AND a want, theres only the need for want.

okay, just felt like asking opinions on this. i wrote this during our algebra class...hehe. be nice =]]

the look in your eyes
sends me to an abyss
where silence traps me
as i try to escape this hole

wishing to come back to life
hoping to find a way out
as i create my own battlefield
fairytale against what's real

as i long for a sanctuary
away from this puppet show
as i try to put an end to illusions
that led me to a labyrinth

as innocence drops a tear
which opened my eyes to revelations
that led me back to where i saw
the look in your eyes

This is the fully worded Q: If it is true that every person's experiences are different, does that mean agreeing on the general concepts of what is "real", or what constitutes "reality", are out of the question?

This is part of or one issue of many raised by the "problem of other minds."

side Q: From a philosophic POV, how do you deal with the diversity of opinions on the concepts of real and reality as issues?

I've got a Canon Powershot A570 IS

I've tried various apertures on the low end (larger opening) but I can't get the "blurred" effect in the background to improve the depth of field. Are there other settings that could come into play to improve this?

Not sure if this link will work, but using this "eHow" guide as a reference my best depth of field pictures are are below the quality shown in "step 1":
