I've worked in so many countries in the Middle East and Africa. It seems that viewing life through a lens is making me realize that life is a cruel joke. Some days I wish I was blind, some days I wish I was dead. My photos capture the emotion and the pain... but now it's having a traumatic effect on my life. I have not sold any of my work. I just look at it and feel the pain and then put it away.

Is it time to cash out? If it is, I'd like to go out in style by getting the ultimate photo in Iraq or Afghanistan... how should it be?

Would you rather be gorgeous and talented even if you might never be well-off because of it, maybe even a little poor, or of average looks and no special talents but millions of dollars? And don't say you could have plastic surgery. Very few people can change their looks drastically with it and end up really attractive.

I don't see it as a mistake, like Vick says it is. He cofessed to over 6 years of dog fighting. Now hes caught so he's telling the police all, SNITCHING, which is good but he's coming out smelling like a rose after all said & done. But a mistake I don't think so.

I live in Fishers, Indiana, and I don't really here much about my state when I travel. Mainly because it's insignificant and there's not much to do. But just to soothe my curiosity--what are some stereotypes about the residents here?

Also, LESS THAN 50% of those displaced were African American.

Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to ask some questions:

1) People in New Orleans lost their homes and can't rebuild because they did not have insurance. Who's fault is that? Why were so many home owners without insurance? Isn't that irresponsible? Why should I pay for that with my taxes? And you just EXPECT the government to build and just GIVE you a new home?

2) People in New Orleans lost their apartments because the buildings were destroyed and they didn't have renters insurance. Why is that the tax payers fault? Is it MY job to support you because of your irresponsibility? And you just expect to be GIVEN a new apartment after they rebuild? How do you figure that?

Seems to me that all those displaced by Katrina were pretty much asking for it. And now you just expect me to pay taxes and just bail you out? I think not.

Thoughts?

I have a dying wish. After I die I want my body cremated and I want my ashes poured atop the huge booty of this girl I use to work with. I just don't know how to go about asking her.

I'm a full time single mother. I work full time and I'm looking to go back to school. If I had the extra time and energy and knew I couldn't fail I would become a physician assistant.

I am shocked and appalled by the way people obsess over the dead 'princess' Diana. Ten years dead, people still have not gotten over it.

Get a grip, sickos! She wasn't really even important, she never actually 'did' anything.

It seems to me that our national obsession with political correctness and "diversity in the workplace" is very overrated and frequently counterproductive. Am I wrong in thinking that until we are blind to people's differences, our efforts at social engineering will call more attention to what we are trying to overcome? What I would give to go back to a time when American didn't have self doubt and had never heard of EEO/harassment training. Any thoughts?

It's just funny to me how SO many members of society including adults are SO dysfunctional, do drugs, are conniving, shallow, materialistic, and hateable people, and they get off on it, when it's COMMON KNOWLEDGE to any 3rd grader, or psychologist/psychiatrist or anyone worthy of respect in society, that they're being total losers.

What is wrong with people, that they have to cast aside all that is right, and become total jerkbags?

I mean, they become greedy, violent, archaic, nasty, cut-throat, vengeful, all the nastiest things in the book, and some put on a facade of niceness but aren't underneath.

Are people just fed up with life? Don't they think of others, especially kids?

I don't get crazy/angry people because they act like everyone out there is an enemy or a target or whatever, when they're so obviously deluded.

Is it an IQ problem?

It's gotta be something, but I don't really know what.

All I know is, it's a H U G E problem in our society.

We are white and no one in my family are racist but my 2 year old daughter is afraid of colored people. I have an aunt how is panamaniam and she is darker skinned and my daughter is so afraid of her she will walk out of her way to go around her. When we go to the park she wont play with kids of color it does not matter what background they are unless they are lighter skinned that I dont think she notices. I dont want her to grow up thinking she is better than anyone. I want her to play with and interact with everyone the same. So has anyone ever heard of such a thing and how to I get her to start accepting different people of different races?

Corinne Maier, a French mother of two, has written a book called No Kid: 40 Reasons Not to Have Children. From what the interviewer says about the book, it sounds as though Maier is pretty fierce and truly feels her life was better before kids. In the actual interview though, she seems slightly more humorous (albeit in a dark way).

Maier believes the French Government promotes the idea of family in that country in order to keep the economy running -- more kids equals more consumers to sell goods to after all, and also ups the amount of future earners contributing to the country's pension programs.

But Maier also has plenty of personal reasons not to have kids, 20 of which are listed in the piece. They include:

You will lose touch with your friends.
Your child will kill your desire.
Children sound the death knell of the couple.
You will be duped into thinking there is such a thing as a perfect child.
You will be expected to be a mother before you are a professional or a woman.
Children are dangerous. They will take you to court without a second thought.

Its the world real? or just a physical constuct designed by the powers that be to generate a easier life for them? People work day in, day out for the latest fad, which we really dont need and isnt even permenant as we will eventually die. Is is fair that the world that we were all given, is controlled by the person with the largest amount of paper. Paper which i might add, that in a survival principle is useless except for fire lighters? Is it time for humans to seek more primitive lives as technology is clearly unforfilling?

My best friends brother is transgender, and he doesn't even look like a boy. And I know this sounds dumb, he has breasts naturally, like maybe between 38a-38b. Well anyway there is this guy who likes him, but that guy doesn't know that my friend's brother is transgender. And my friend's brother won't tell this boy. So what I was wondering is if u were to go out with this girl (who was a boy) and u never found out and u started to fall in love with this ''girl'', and then u found out would u stay with this ''girl'' even though it's a boy cuz u love them, or would u leave because u are more worried about others thinking yur gay? That's my question. PLease give me all yur opinions bad or good.
