Most people believe in history. For example Caesar. Now what is the best source of information for reliable history and why?

Two things (if you answer one of them, that is good enough)
1) What arguments are made from holocaust deniers?
2) What's the first statement that comes to mind when you think about holocaust denial? (true or false, does not matter)

my family is having a reunion, and i'd like to make a scrapbook showing our family tree, pictures, etc. Does anyone know of a genoeologist that could look up our family's background? (I mean like 100+ years back) If anyone has ever done something like this themselves, can you give me some suggestions?

(i'm not interested in hearing about self love; i have plenty of that, i can't make love to myself, thanx)

I have been keen in photography for a bit of time now, and take my photos with a Sony DSC - W70, however I have come to the stage where i would like to upgrade to a Digital SLR. It would also be good to have experience with a digital SLR as I am planning on taking up course in it in the next year.

I have been doing my research, and have come up with a little list of cameras that seem good to me, but it would be great if I could get the opinions of people who know!

My photos are mostly of close ups or landscapes. What lenses would you recommend are the best for this?

At the moment, I don't have a price set, but around £350 - £400 for the camera with a basic lens would be ideal.

The cameras I have seen are:

Olympus E 410
Canon 350D
Sony A100
Pentax K100D Super

My only concern with the above is the the Pentax only 6 megapixels. I am not planning on printing too big, however if i wanted to print at around 8" X 10" would 6 mp be ok?

Thank-You very much for your help!

Over the years, our world has changed so much. Is there really anything that could possibly happen in the new year, that could shock us anymore than things have in the past? What are your thought about this?

Happy New Year Everyone!

I was reading about the October revolution and would like to know how Lenin took power so quickly (it took him just 10 days). I'm guessing it started when Kerensky armed the Bolsheviks against an attempted military coup. I’m aware there is a book called "10 days which shook the world" and a summary would be nice.

As far as I know, World War 1 was mostly confined to Europe and the US entered only in 1917 after the sinking of the Lusitania.

World War 2 really did include many countries, but only the major powers where involved and once again, the US only became involved in 1945 or so, after the bombing of Pearl Harbour.

So what so we need to designate a war as a world war? Can we describe the ongoing hostilities all over the world as the beginnings of another World War, or are they too isolated? Also, can we call the growing tensions between the US and Russia a new Cold War, or are they fundamentally a continuation of the first Cold War?

The letter read, To whom it may concern
Red ink like fire, to the eyes they burn
Long words walk, following where they led
To the end of the page, I learn my dad's dead
A sunken heart cut, served at mid day
Supper's cooling down, I'm sick as I lay
Thoughts pour in as sudden as a dogs bark
Who will bring joy, swinging in the park
I sit down holding to the chains, rocks at my feet
Wishing for anything, I feel something at my seat
Soaring up screaming, I reach for his bright hand
There together in the sky, we look down at the land

I have been thinking about this question for a long time and the conclusion I have reached is that we are here to live and die confused.
What would be your answer to this question?

I was wondering what other people's opinions are on why nothing does not exist, and instead everything. I think its evident enough that nothing does not exist, as we are in an experience of something - otherwise, we wouldn't have an experience in anything. I've heard some people say nothing does not exist because for the very fact that it doesn't and that's all you need to know, but considering we have a definition to define what nothing is, why not a better understanding of why it's not? "nothing" is an actual term, so I would think referring to nothing as absolutely blank is just silly. By the way, I'm a little drunk right now, but all the better.

Assume that you found them to be wise and benevolent beings and that you gathered that their civilisation was very advanced and harmonious.Assume also that you are young say in your 20's or 30's and single or, if you are not, the question still stands.

So, are you like Elliot in E.T. (Stay) or Richard Dreyfuss's character in Close Encounters (Go)?

I read the Hobbit and didn't like it one bit (this was about 5 years ago, or so.) Everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is, I'm thinking of giving it another chance. I'm older now, so maybe my perspective of it might change. Should I read it again?
