| I suppose I am a bit of a photographic geek. I have two (pentax) film based SLRs with about six lenses, A (digital SLR) Nikon D50 with 3 lenses. I have a little Olympus for when I can’t be bothered to take a big camera with me. I also have a few collectable cameras but I don’t use these much unless ... |

| The thing is what ever you do it has to fit in with your personality. Like when you see a politician wearing a t-shirt you think they are a cringe worthy trying to be something they are not. What style and cool are depends upon your age and location. To teenagers and to a lesser extent the rest of s... |

It is like a pressure cooker where neither party has a chance to escape and consider their actions until ... |

| I'm worried about having so many doors locked from the inside; that's a fire hazard. Try talking to your local fire department. Explain to them the issue with your son and they will almost certainly have some one who will be able to come round and discuss how to make your home safer. The might also... |

| I think all this depends on how you define creativity. I think very few people are genuinely creative. Some people have a skill for an art, like painting, or composing but while what they seems to be new, it is nothing of the sort. It is simply a rearrangement of their influences. May be to an exten... |

Do the people here who support the death penalty support the killing of innocent people? If so what makes them better than a murderer? |

| On my Uni. Cource we have a system of peer review (a crit) where we present to the rest of the department. So I have developed a fair bit of strategy on it. As for receiving criticism, it all depends on how they say it. If it seems to be a personal attack on you, justify your decision making process... |

They use violence to get what they want, i.e. in a mugging. IT is far safer just to give them whatever they want rather than to fight them. Attackin... |
