    Children's Story Idea

    Now what do you want us to criticize? Your choice of the porcupine and the skunk as your main protagonists? if your idea is to use the imagery of the porcupine and the skunk, then I think you have a good start. Tell us more about your story so that we have more material to criticize.

    What inspires you?

    That's beautiful. Sometimes such events get more creative juices going than expected and I have heard of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws getting pregnant at, more or less, the same time.

    Key to be a good photographer?

    Yes, luck does have a role in catching a good shot. Like this photo here: No amount of preparation would have produced such a shot without some element of luck.

    Key to be a good photographer?

    No idea if that is an original statement. What I do remember is that I came upon the idea when I was with a couple of friends on the beach one dark and stormy night. We were trying to capture the flashes of lightning out at sea. Just for a change, we did some light sculpturing. What we did...

    What inspires you?

    I do it the easy way. I find a picture of something which I want and I put it up as the wallpaper on my computer screen. Since I am on the computer most of the day, that's what I see most of the time. It reminds me of what I am working for.

    Hatefulness is Harmful, Even on the Internet

    Are you sure that when you write an objective article for, say, Wikipedia, that there are no emotions involved? I would say quite a lot of emotions are involved. For a start, there is this feeling of wanting to make it as accurate as possible. This passion for perfection is an emotion. So...

    Cannibals Say Human Flesh Tastes Like Pickled Pork

    Looks like cannibalism hasn't really gone out of vogue then. A while ago, I read about the Japanese man who advertised a very special dinner party, where the main course was his own sex organ which he cut off and cooked for his guests.

    Cannibals Say Human Flesh Tastes Like Pickled Pork

    No, I don't think so. If human flesh were really meant for eating, by now, we would already have big farms producing human beings just for eating. The general idea is that animals do not eat their own kind.

    Hatefulness is Harmful, Even on the Internet

    Come now, we are not emotionless robots. Like now, when I type this post, I feel something. This post is a projection of a bit of myself. It's a manifestation of part of my thoughts. So if someone criticizes this post, how can I not feel anything? If I really don't feel anything, that means what...

    Cannibals Say Human Flesh Tastes Like Pickled Pork

    Taste like pickled pork? I doubt it. How it tastes like should depend on how it's cooked. If it's grilled with peanut oil, then it's likely to taste like barbequed hot dogs, depending on which part of the anatomy you are cooking. If it's boiled with potatoes and big onions for a couple of hours...

    Hatefulness is Harmful, Even on the Internet

    OmarFW No, I cannot agree with you that you cannot be affected by the internet unless you allow it to. Take, for example, what I am doing now. I am making a post. Do I think before I post? Yes, I do. Do I care if anyone reads my post? Yes, I do. Do I feel anything if someone responds to my...

    Key to be a good photographer?

    Ah, you hit the nail right on the head there. What are photographs if they are not paintings made with light? No light, no photograph. Just curious. Has anyone tried taking a light sculpture photograph? Like setting the aperture wide open and the speed to 0 in a place with 0 light, then using...

    Small breasts are best!

    I think it's not so much the flesh but more a question of the fatty tissue. Breasts, from what I have found out, are just masses of fatty tissue. So big breasts have a lot of fatty tissue. I would imagine that sensory signals get diminished when they have to travel long distances over fatty...

    What's your purpose in life?

    I live only for a very simple purpose. To leave this place a bit better than I found it. If I could, I would like to be able to make an earth-shaking difference to the world before I go. If I can't do that much I will settle for some little improvements, no matter how small. The very least that...

    Hatefulness is Harmful, Even on the Internet

    True, the internet exists in cyber space and cyber space is virtual reality. So how can things in the internet harm things in real life? Well, our minds also exist in virtual reality. And there is no doubt that whatever affects our minds will also affect us in real life. So when our minds are...
