You at the barricade listen to this
The people of Paris sleep in their beds
You have no chance
No chance at all
Why throw your lives away?Tom [Hooper] said to Hadley and I [Aaron], ‘Listen, you guys happen to be on different sides of this conflict, but you guys grew up in the same neighborhood. You probably grew up together, and now you’re standing in front of each other.’ And when Grantaire and I are standing there, I think that played out in Hadley’s eyes. He knows he’s doing his duty, but he’s killing somebody that easily could be him.

"LETTERS TO...": Ray Bradbury; Three Unpublished Poems and a Meditation on Science vs. Religion
In the last few years, I have found myself returning again and again to the problem of science and theology. This problem has thrust itself into the center of a series of poems I have written. I have for some time now thought that the conflict between religion and science was a false one, based,…
Let’s talk about how annoying people on Deviantart can be
Some artists there really can’t handle criticism like at all. And it is quite frustrating.
I asked this guy (who made a cross in ms pain to honor the fallen at Colorado) why the cross was uneven. He said it hurt. So I replied with “I’m sorry” and he wrote back “it’s fine, but still bothersome” but you know what angered me? He didn’t care enough to fix it, he just admitted his mistake and said I offended him.
He was just “I take that as an offense”. Why? If he really cared about his art, he would have taken much more time on it. He would have straightened it out if it mattered to him that much that I noticed it was crooked.
Then I proceeded to ask “why did he do art?” to try to answer for myself why he took offense.
I think he is way to sensitive. He typed back “that is like asking why does a bird fly?”
I don’t see why it is bad to ask an artist why an artist is an artist. In fact I think it’s important. To keep us in check so we understand who we are, why we do what we do. To legitimize who we are to ourselves.
But what really angered me was his inability to take criticism. Just, how can one improve if one is afraid to admit that others can see fault?
A spectacular new video from a night sky photographer has captured awe-inspiring views of the cosmos and some of Earth’s most scenic wilderness locales.
The video “Within Two Worlds” by photographer Brad Goldpaint in the Pacific Northwest combines about 7,000 photos of the night sky taken over the last three years into a dazzling display of both Earth and space.

There is not a simply “you believe or you don’t believe”. That is thinking in black and white. There is no scientific proof to prove either a God does or doesn’t exist. If a person could not be bothered with the existence or nonexistence of a God, then that person would be an agnostic.
I’m quite sure that if we could talk I could prove that you either believe or not. My experience is that often agnostics are just “afraid” to admit one or another.
Also, again, you need proof only to believe.-Scipsy
