WAR IS PEACE ,FREEDOM IS SLAVERY ,
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Write a poem that begins with the slogan followed by one or more "when..." statements. (For example: "Freedom is slavery when...") Your statements may be either specifically related to the action of the novel or may be more general statements of your own beliefs. If you have trouble thinking of these paradoxical slogans in a straightforward way, you may wish to experiment with verbal irony—saying one thing but meaning or implying another.

I'm interested in philosophy of law, largely from a 'continental' perspective.

This really drives me crazy! On this site, whenever someone asks what they can do with a liberal arts major (history, psychology, etc.), the majority of the responses always say things like "flip burgers at a fast food joint, retail Wal-Mart jobs..." blah blah blah.

That is such b.s.! Not everyone with a business degree ends up making bank, while that philosphy major next to you might ultimately become a millionaire!

Do what you love, and more often than not, the money will follow.

Anything important really, but uninportant things are alright too :-)

Thanks.

Can someone give me ideas on what to get him for christmas. He is very smart for his age. He has all the video systems except the models for this year and he beats everyone playing them. He has a new dell and alot of toys. I'm just trying to think of something different for this year. I love this boy dearly and he knows it and he is polite and gets good grades and he is NOT a brat. When we go to the store he doesn't even ask for things and I know it's hard at his age. He is such a good boy and he deserves a good christmas. Anyone have any ideas??????

For example, I want to be a pilot. Now if I take chemistry, when the hell am I going to use that? Or history? Math's important, but why should I learn something I'm never going to use in the future?

I just don't see any point... maybe you could give me the reason why? (don't say 'because that's what college's require')
