What part of yourself do you tend to hide more than any other part? Could be hiding out of fear, it could be hiding out of spite? I would truly love to know..

(Please, My question is straight forward, please answer it with the same reguard)

A significant number of people point to evolution as the source of morality. Here is a representative statement:

"There is a strong desire to help when we see someone in need. This desire has been developed in our brains over millions of years of evolution. This desire to help is the basis of morality."

My question is this. We know that mindless evolution doesn't "care" about the individual, only about gene survival. Evolution has created this desire to help thus sometimes sacrificing our own self interest. Shouldn't I put this desire to help to a rational test? Why ought I to allow myself to be pushed around by this irrational, evolution-designed desire? BTW, I think most people do put their initial desire to help to a rational test. And if we place a rational test on the desire, then that desire is no longer the standard. The real standard is self-interest.

Ladies! If you aspire to be an actress, are you prepared to do nude scenes? Do you think it is only right to be expected to do nude scenes? Will your bf allow it?

After 21 years of war between the North (Arab) and African Sudanese in the south peace agreement called CPA was reached in 2005. The south has over 200 or more tribes with different dilects (languages). We are currently facing the problem of "tribalism", cattle raiders and "lack of the rule of law".
I feel we in the south Sudan are facing the same problems the people of America faced after their war of independence and their civil war. Iam proud of how the United States of America is today because they were able to established a firm democracy and the rule of law. My organization called "Human Moral Care (HMC) is interested in participating in the work to bring about "rule of law" in the southern Sudan. How can we do it? We want to know how the American people had done to reach such a high level in protecting democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the United States of America, Can we get a humanitarian org. to assist us do it in Sudan.

A New Year
For every year I have survived,
There's one event stands out.
The ringing in of every year,
Where people cry and shout.
We wonder where the old year goes,
And what will come anew.
We wonder if the one to come,
Is good or all askew.
Will we get rich or maybe poor?
Will we be nice and proud?
Our hopes and dreams are floating there,
As if upon a cloud.
Our thoughts go forth to things anew,
They dwell not in the past.
We hope that all will be just fine,
That happiness will last.
We pray for peace around the globe,
Wherever young ones fight.
And pray for leaders everywhere,
To finally see the light.
To hunger in our own back yard,
We wish to make an end.
The rift between those black and white,
We wish that we could mend.
We start out each and every year,
With plans that seem so grand.
But every year it seems to us,
We built upon the sand.

Do you tend to stay with what's safe & familiar or take a risk and go out on a limb...?

It can be a little scary but very rewarding...

It's all new to me but I'm going to dare to put myself out there...

I've changed my avatar (from the little red-haired cartoon version of me to a real photo), did a 360 page and I'll be posting my music soon on myspace, artwork on ebay etc...and maybe I'll check out this facebook everyone's been talking about...

Finally entering the 21st century...tee hee...

Goodnight...
:)

I'm looking for some new books to read this Christmas, fiction mainly (no war books).

A break from the mainstream circuit of the classics e.g: Orwell-Stephen King-Catch22- Catcher in the Rye-War and Peace-Dan Brown-Ludlam-Clancy is the main aim.

Can you recommend any good reads? The main theme I'm looking for is Michael Marshall-Smith kind of books, and a friend has mentioned that Dean Koontz is a good read also.

Cheers

Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is what you see everyday on your tv.
Why are we content with "democracy",
when all it takes is you and me to start a ripple in the sea?
Democracy's another form of monarchy.
So you tell me; are we headed for anarchy,
or just another hierarchy that leads to more bureaucracy?

My friend this on his space and wanted me to comment on it but I don't know what to say. I think it's kinda dorky but I like the way it sounds. What do you think of it?
If you think it's dorky too, what should I say?
