Dance...why is it art?

Ballet is art. The dancers use the line of their body to create a flow; they create a story solely by using their bodies as the medium.

Art abd the human condition


Salvador Dali's "Mae West" is a wonderful representation of the human condition.



Her eyes are paintings, the red mask is a wall, her skin is the hard wood floor, and her hair is curtains.

Firstly, we all play a character, we are a different person to different people. For example, one does not act the same around your apouse as one does with one's parents. One doesn't act the same at work as one does on the weekend.

Also, the aspects of the room used to depict the parts of her are revealing as well.

Her hair as curtains, representing the "beautiful" hair a woman is "supposed to have". Next, her red mask hiding the area around her eyes demonstrates humility. Lastly, her skin is hardwood; this shows the need for thick skin in life, regardless of gender.

I'm having another catharsis




I'm absolutely appauled at the fact that some people who want children with every fiber of their being can't have them, while other cracked-out couples who can't take care of a child, don't want a child can.




The children end up neglected or abused...it's sad and pitiful!

I'm having a catharsis





I get so upset that they call certain diseases "uninsurable"!!!!


I have Type I Diabetes, insulin dependent


without insurance my medicine alone is $500/month, that's not including medical bills for lab test, etc!!


And insurance companies tell me that i am UNINSURABEL?!?!?


Other than this, I am a perfectly healthy 19 year old female.


I can't get help, the fact that I work full time, pay my taxes, attend college full-time, and live a good, honest life doesn't mean anything EXCET THAT I GET SCREWED!!!


UNINSURABLE?!?!? you've got to be kidding me!


Kaiser's "Live well and thrive" slogan is a bunch of crap. They told me no.


So much for living well, and there will especially be no thriving.


And with the economy the way it is, you might as well check me into the hospital!

Now, I don't blame the war, but this is pretty true!

PPL NEED TO GET THEIR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!

Diorama Drama


"This diorama was very creative"
I liked this one because the artist made their views very clear in a creative, fun way.





"I have something to say about this diorama"
Initially, this looks like pure hate, but i think one must look at why people say these things. Religion has taught them that homosexuality is morally repugnant, and if they even so much as say 'to each his own' they are just as guilty.
The mood changes when one finds out that the artist is himself homosexual into one of sadness. It gives the viewer a glimpse of what he feels.
"The message in this diorama could be considered propaganda"
Prolife. The artist shows what the expelled embryo could have grown to be. It made me think of abortion in a different way, thinking of the child that now doesn't get to live rather than the would-be mother.
