Arts & Humanities - 18 December 2007

& consider you naive & say if you don't know then you shouldn't experience it? Ex: I asked a question on here about politics & voting, & people said that if I don't know about voting, then I should NEVER vote. Also, the people here called me dumb & a conservative, mocking liberals, when I asked about comparing & contrasting them.

***Ex: People also feel like if I have to ask a question about pregnancy & childbirth, then I should NEVER have kids. If I don't know how to play a card game-Spades & wanna learn, then I should NEVER play. Why are people so narrow-minded & act like you don't have a right to learn, grow, & experience? & also, if I experience something new, like buying a car & get taken advantage of, then they call me stupid & say I shouldn't have ever bought that car & that I should NEVER buy or drive a car again. When I ask questions, people say, "Read the fine print" or "You answered your own question." I'm disabled with comprehension problems-why I struggled in school.

A revolutionist perhaps like Christ. You know, pardon me for saying such inane thoughts, but did Christ change anything? Has the Bible helped mankind in any way shape or form? Too many inane questions:
1. Was there goodness or free will before the Bible? Or was man a slave to evil men and women?
2. Does a man's sanity relate to the Bible in any way, shape, or form?
3. Does the Bible affect the world itself, including its value as well as the value of human life?
4. How long before the world remembers the world they live in is just a way of life made from our ancestors, then discover that its foundation is infinitely hollow?
5. We're surround by ageless inherited beliefs and inventions / technology. It has changed our life style, our fashion, but not the world. Not at all. So my final question is in a form of multiple questions.
Is change in existence?
Can perfection change?
Can imperfection change?
Can you change what is not there?
Can you change the world?

One of my close friends loves poetry, but I don't have a lot of money to spend on gifts. Since she adores poetry, I'm thinking of writing a poem and dedicating it to her. Would this be cheap or is it acceptable?

I base my gift giving on the line that "It's the thought that counts", but what should I do here?

Think about it... You are one person in a room... now imagine floating above your house, then your city... getting farther and farther away as more of, "existance" comes into view. Then you are above your country, then the earth, then a few hundred million miles away Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Sun are in view... Float faster, the solar system, the next closest star (26 trillion miles away), then the next, and the next, then eventually the universe. As you continue to get farther out into empty space even the universe gets dimmer and dimmer until it's no longer visible. Its just you in nothingness.

It makes you feel pretty insiginificant doesn't it? This hole planet could just disappear and it wouldn't even amount to a drop of water hitting the ocean.

i read something about the July 20th plot (how several main figures in the nazi regime tried to blow up Hitler) was a cover-up from Himmler because they wanted to get rid of him so he could 1. become fuhrer of Germany and 2. because hitler was messing everything up. the article backed up its theory by saying in a good conspiracy that all the loose ends were cut when they killed Rommel and Henning von Tresckow

I always hear this debate of evolution vs creation. I believe in creation, but the debates make it seem like creation can't evolve!!! So what's the deal?

2007-12-18 10:25:16 · 4 answers · asked by just me 2 in Philosophy

OK, two things:

1.) Does anyone mind sharing a fantasy story idea or two? I love writing and I'm good at constructing the plot, but I need a main inspiration to get me started. Thanks!

2.) Does anyone know what most people enjoy reading from fiction stories? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think most people like to read about things that are TOO out-there, like robot ninja queens or anything. I think they want a story they can relate to, and even though they know it's made up, it should be partly believable. Like Twilight or Harry Potter. They're more advanced then regular people, so who's not to say they couldn't really be a magic world?

Thanks, guys! Any help is appreciated! :)

Hi, I read the other day about a book which teaches you how to act and what to say, when someone is belittling you. I believe it had a red cover, does anyone know the name of this book?
