my pevious post got a lot of controversy so ive gone back to my notes

the idea of the "pro-life" side of the coin is that the fetus is alive

what is alive

at 8 weeks the heart beats (true) but heart cells beat by themselves outside of the body in a petri dish

the fetus at 12 weeks i belive starts to move its developing muscles slightly, again even the muscles of a corpse will move with stimulation from an electrode

cogognition? well base emotions such as fear and joy only appear after the child is born (usually in first day) and just because the developing brain shows brainwaves this shouldnt be confused with thought, to determine whether a brain is active and thinking we would need pet cat and emt scans

what im driving at is at is that a lot of the actions performed by the fetus are just biological quirks that dont recquire the presence of a functioning mind or incorporeal soul

what is life

answer that then we debate the ethics of taking it away

I am considering pursuing acting or singing. I have a pretty good voice, but like I said, I have no training (in acting either).
My question is, is it to late to seriously consider a carreer in one of these things??

Im all for it. I think we as humans should never cease, but id like to hear from other peoples opinions on the matter. Should there be more spending on it or less?
I mean should we spend more?isn't it immoral to spend it doing that than using it for a more immediate need like, medical research or getting food to the poor?

This is basically and open philosophical/moral Q to you all......

does anyone know what soldiers did in the time when they were not on the frontline? or where to find the info? Did they get punished if they returned late or did they not have enough time not on the frontline? any info would be useful, since i cannot find it anywhere! You see i'm writting an essay on the conditions soldiers had to face and why they continued to fight, so i need the information

thank you!

thanx!

Alot of people talk about how the electronic age and computers are destroying the fabric of socialization. Kids don't play outside because they're playing video games. People don't talk, they 'e-mail' and 'blog'. Even advertising is addressing this question as in a recent 'Applebee's' ad campaign.

My personal opinion is that the electronic age has opened up the world to communication between people that would otherwise never have contact with each other. I also feel that too much is being made about the importance of physical interaction simply out of a sense of nostalgia.

What do you think?

Has anyone noticed that george orwell's perception of 1984 is slowly becoming a reality . with new slang reflecting "newspeak" and the new facial recognition CCTV and records the government are planning reflect the telescreens and the Ministries.He may have been a little of date but who isn't nowadays.

It seems that every theatre wants something different, so I'm trying to get myself prepared for auditions next year. What do I need?

Contemporary Comedic: 1 minute, 1 1/2 minutes, 2 minutes
Contemporary Dramatic: 1 minute, 1 1/2 minutes, 2 minutes
Classical Comedic: 1 minute, 1 1/2 minutes, 2 minutes
Classical Dramatic: 1 minute, 1 1/2 minutes, 2 minutes

Am I missing anything? Should I prepare some shorter pieces?

I want to have some solid well-rehearsed monologues under my belt, so I'm not scrambling to find something that fits the audition at the last minute.

When I'm painting on canvas, what do you add to acrylic right out of the bottle to thin it and slow its drying time? I love painting with them, but it dries so quickly.
