| well, it depends..... If you define "art" as something that is morally good or unambiguous much of the stuff in museums or on movie screens or in literary seminars would not pass muster. Consider Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto, which declares the very influential art of the Italian Futurists as devo... |

Usury is prohibited in Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and the Talmud, although there are differences of interpretation of what constitutes usury (ie, what rate ... |

| Love hurts. You think it's going to last forever, you think you know all you need to know to keep it going and then you find out you don't and it ends, whether she suddenly dumps you or you get so unhappy you walk away, it does hurt. You should play sad songs and walk around and cry for a week and t... |

| Since when do kids have to like their parents? YOu can't force affection, that only backfires. Aspie insecurity and inflexibility and dislike of change and forced interaction with others certainly explains your son's behavior but lots of kids without any diagnosis would act the same way I think.

| Don't worry, Tim. You are clearly still goal-oriented! You made a strategic retreat not a surrender! Also, if your goal is to gain skills and credentials for a good job after college you have to find a field that is a good fit for you, and you are making adjustments based on your experience of colle... |
