Should the President have the right to keep secret the images of body bags coming back to America?

Should the President have the right to keep secret the images of body bags coming back to America? Is it possible that President Bush is doing to keep being able to keep recruitment of new soldiers possible. There has been a lot of controversy about the Patriot’s Act, and the attendant loss of individual rights and privacy. What are your comments about this?

Images or advertisements that show foreign countries’ perceptions of what America is like?

I’m writing a paper on the differences in how America promotes itself through advertisements, television, etc. and how other countries perceive America and what America really is. I would like to find an advertisement from another country that shows the negative feelings and perceptions many foreign countries have towards America. I know i’ve seen images in the past but cannot think of any specific ones. links to images or descriptions of ones i could look for would be appreciated. thanks!

What is the image of America?

Anyone have an idea of what the image of america is? I’m thinking of taking a photograph that shows the image of america, any ideas? thanks!

Why do you think the rest of the world has such a poor image of America? Could it be the rampant racism?

No its not jealousy its fear as a Canadian I do not understand why America has such a huge problem with racism and hate towards anyone that isnt white. Canadians live side by side with minorities why is America so filled with hate I ask myself this all the time. Your economy is going down hill, people are loosing their jobs and their homes. Why would anyone be jealous.

Normal for gland to be up 1 mth after chickenpox?

I had chickenpox about 4 weeks ago (I’m 30) and felt pretty sick. My glands were up: in neck (under jaw), under arms, behind ears and even at the back base of my skull. My eyes hurt – all that is normal of course because chickenpox is a pretty nasty virus.

When all my glads were up, I noticed that one was also up in the side base of my neck – picture where Dr Frankenstein’s monster had the bolts and that’s where I’m talking: base of neck, just above the collar bone.

All my other glands have gone down (from what I can tell), but there’s still a “lump” in my neck. It seems to have gone down a little in the last week but I keep prodding it – so I guess I am probably not helping matters.

Is it normal for glands to still be up aprox a month after a viral infection? I’ve tried to research this – from what I’ve read it can take anywhere from a few days to a month+ for glands to go down?

ps: I work with children (have colds often) and have done a lot of international travel lately
ps: maybe I made the node/gland sound higher up than it is. it’s about where my neck touches my shoulders.

pps: my face/scalp/neck had the most “pox”

Ladies can you please tell me if this article is true and accurate.?

Faced with picture of men with and without different scars, women rated the scarred faces as better looking, but scars did not enhance women’s attractiveness to men.

“This is the first study to demonstrate that under certain circumstances post-traumatic scarring may increase a person’s perceived social worth,” say the researchers from the universities of Liverpool and Stirling.

“Our results suggest that under certain circumstances scars may advertise valued information about their bearers, and that the idea that scarring universally devalues social perceptions can no longer be assumed to be true.”

In the study, published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, around 220 people were asked to look at pictures of men and women, some of which had been manipulated to have different scars.

Results show that scarring enhances women’s ratings of men’s attractiveness for short-term, but not for long-term, relationships. Men’s ratings of female attractiveness were unaffected by scarring.

Exactly why women favour scars is not clear, but one theory is that they provide visible evidence of past trauma and may also communicate information about the man’s history and personality, as well as affect their attractiveness.

It has also been suggested that scarring associated with violence may signal to a woman that the man has a risk-taking personality or above average masculinity, both of which might appeal to women for short term relationships. Because of that, scars may indirectly be a sign of good genes or a strong immune system that also appeal to women for short-term relationships.

The scars that are rated attractive are those that appear to be associated with post traumatic events or violence of some kind.

“Scars that indicate past illness like chickenpox, acne, or surgery scars, and which therefore suggest a weaker immune system, may be viewed more negatively than other types of scarring,” says the report
especially the part about acne scars being viewd as a weak immune system.Thanks for your help.

Help. My mom has some rash going on!?

Ok, Sunday morning my mom woke up with all of these red bumps all over her body. They were on her scalp, neck, and face, and stomach. Yesterday some of them turned to blisters and they have clear and white fluid in them. She has taken many baths and they itch like crazy- she cant stop itching them even after putting on caladryl lotion. She has taken benadryl but it hasnt helped to stop the itch or help her sleep. Everyday they get worse and seem more red. They also spread to new areas. Today they have spread to her legs and are starting to work up to her hands. She cries because they are painful and when she sleeps they feel like needles being stuck into her. I know that like 2 days before she noticed th spots, she felt terrible. She spent the whole day laying down and felt fluey and nausea. She said she had stomach pains and a bad headache as well. We are all worried because each day they seem to spread to different places. Her whole body is covered with them. She went to the doctor yesterday but the doctor wasnt available so she saw the nurse practicioner. She couldn’t figure out what the cause might be. She was clueless but prescribed my mom with amoxicillin and some steroid which would be treated for strep throat even though she didnt have it. Most of the bumps are turning to blisters with liquid of some sort inside and a couple look crusted over. We are beginning to wonder if it could be Chicken pox. She honestly doesnt remember if she got a chicken pox vaccine when she was little?? Throughout the day it seems that more appear and within a couple hours a couple new ones appeared on her hand. She is 36. Can you tell me if this picture looks like she has chickenpox?? http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee421/computech96/?action=view&current=Capture.png If it is how long do you think it will last for… She is upset and embarrassed b/c she cant go out or anything.. PLEASE HELP>>> http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee421/computech96/?action=view&current=Capture.png
Here is the picture

I bet you can’t find me a nice prom dress….?

…that doesn’t reveal my back.

My senior prom is coming up in 3 weeks, and all the nice dresses are always “backless”.

I’ve got really bad chickenpox scars all over my back, so I’m after something that would cover most of my back.

Any suggestions?

Links to pictures would be appreciated!

I’m an agnostic; is it alright for me to wear this wooden bracelet with images of Jesus and Mary?

I purchased this beautiful bracelet in Spain when I went there on a tour. Where I live in Asia, people don’t seem to mind when they see others wearing such bracelets/rosaries. But I’ll be moving to the States soon, and was wondering if Christian people would find this offensive?

Thank you in advance!

What can you say about the popular images of Jesus?

If you will critic this.
1. Jesus as the Son of God and the Son of Mary
2. Jesus as the Host
3. Jesus as the Suffering Servant
4, Jesus as the King
5. Jesus as the Miracle Worker

Christians or others – If your toast has images of Jesus and Mary, what kind of sandwich do you make?

I like a good BLT.
.

Why do Christians accept pictures of Jesus when it goes directly against the Bible?

First of all, creating images of Jesus goes directly against the Bible:

Ex 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:”

Sounds to me like no images of anyone or anything in Heaven should be presented as an image.

Second, nobody has ever seen Jesus so it is ridiculous to create an image. Especially when the images that we see are of a man with brown hair and blue eyes most of the time. This is the only physical description of Jesus in the Bible:

“His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire” Revelation 1:14.

This is clearly the description of an albino. Albinos have white hair and pink eyes (“flames of fire”).

Is this the ultimate in bearing false witness? Presenting an entirely falsified image of your Savior? How does it get much worse than that?
@John. Seriously? You actually think that Christians do not have pictures of Jesus in their homes? No nativity scenes? Mormons even put pictures of Jesus in their homes. It is hardly just a Catholic thing.
@Ruth. Saying “lighten up” is not “turning the other cheek” as Jesus instructed you to do. Nor is it “loving your neighbor”. It is rude and unkind. The images of Jesus are never of someone with white hair and eyes that look like flames. My point is that based on this description, he would have probably looked more like an albino than a dark haired, tan man. Regardless, the images should not exist anyway. Stop making excuses for it. It is against the Bible.
@Galet09, your rude argumentative stance is not “turning the other cheek” or “loving your enemies” as Jesus instructed you to do. Saying “mind your own business” is being rude and unkind. Did you listen to anything that Jesus taught? How hard is it to understand “thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images“? Graven means cut or impressed onto a surface. The “bowing down” part is additional to the creation of the image. Were you there when God stated this Commandment? Did he give you first hand knowledge of what he meant or are you just making assumptions?
@Matthew Guthrie, calling my words “stupid” is not being kind as Jesus taught you to be. It is also being argumentative and you are supposed to turn the other cheek. The Bible clearly says that images of those in Heaven are not supposed to be produced. There is no disputing it. Unless you were there when God was telling Moses what to write on those tablets.
@James 3:10, so then are we to assume you are the only true authority on the subject? As far as your comment “pronouncements about this or that being against the Bible are suspect. They tend to lack authority and tend to be “new” with no history of Christian agreement.” So, Christians are the ones who assume God’s word then, not God…correct? As long as they are in agreement with something, then that makes it “truth”. This is the way the Bible was created. Men wrote stories and certain people chose what was to be the “truth”. This is clear PROOF that MAN is deciding what is or is not truth. Thank you for confirming it.
@Galet09, first of all, you are still arguing and not turning the other cheek. Second, I am not a Christian and do not believe in any religion that says I am not supposed to judge others. Therefore, I can judge all I like. I even believe in having a judicial system, police, jails and prisons. I believe in judging others, it is how we keep pedophiles and killers off the street. Expecting others not to judge is as unrealistic as believing that burning shrubbery can speak.

Where does a Photoshop CS5 trial store files relevent to the trial?

I was talking with a colleague the other day about the scripting and core files of the Photoshop CS5 trial, and we were wondering where exactly on a Windows computer Photoshop stores files that are crucial to the trial itself, not necessarily the whole program. Are they in the registry, Program Files folder, etc? We appreciate any help!

What can be a problem for this photosynthesis/respiration experiment with bromothymol blue?

This is for a laboratory report.

It aims to determine the relationship with photosynthesis and respiration. I actually know that already, but I can’t think of a suitable problem to this experiment.

Here’s the procedure:
1. Measure 50 mL bromothymol blue solution for 2 beakers.
2. Blow on these solutions until it changes color.
3. Place elodea in each beaker. Cover it with a petri dish.
4. Put a beaker in the closet and the other outdoors.
5. Observe.

Photosynthesis and respiration are exact opposite processes. Respiration occurred in the closet, but photosynthesis did not because there wasn’t light. Bromothymol blue is a chemical indicator for pH. What can I put as a problem in my report?

Please answer ASAP. Thank you.

How does air pollution affect photosynthesis?

I need this as quick as possible… Can any one tell me a detailed but not textbook-ed situation or example of how air pollution affects photosynthesis and how it affects photosynthesis in plants?

Can green plants do photosynthesis with only green light?

Green plants are green because they reflect green light. So when put under green light they shouldn’t be able to undergo photosynthesis. However, assuming that there are carotenoids in the leaf, would it be able to go undergo photosynthesis and survive? Or would stored energy be used for photosynthesis? How would you know which one is responsible for photosynthesis?

How do photosynthesis and respiration relate to the Greenhouse Effect?

There is current controversy as to whether the atmosphere is warming due to the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of the rainforests (i.e., the Greenhouse Effect). How does photosynthesis and respiration relate to this controversy?

How can I get rid of snakes living in my walls (there’s A LOT)?

Today we killed at least 6 snakes, and a few from before. I think there are more. They have nested in my wall (see pictures below) and I’m afraid they will continue to lay eggs and reproducing. If anyone could help me…
1. Find the number for Animal Control in Chicago, IL
2. Any tips for getting rid of these snakes
3. Identify these snakes – are they poisonous? (it may be hard to tell from the picture)
4. How to prevent snakes from coming back
5. Anything else I should know about

Please, and thank you (I have very serious ophidiophobia, fear of snakes)

Pictures:

P.S. they are very big, I would say the biggest we killed was at least a few feet long
Oh, and I’m not going to get a cat.
If this is in the real world? Quit drinking?

What’s that supposed to mean. I’m 15. And I’m researching the question for my parents.

The first one is a Columbian Red-Tailed Boa (I’m going to get one), the second one is a Dumerils Ground Boa, most people think they have funny heads but I like them. The third one is a madagascan ground boa.

All of these look better when you seen them with your eyes… not on a computer screen.

Bye-Bye

What do you think about body images in America today?

It seems that in so many ways women at least are pressured to be thin, but then at the same time there’s a “heavy is ok” phase going around through commercials and shows about loving being overweight. But they both seem like such twisted views–it’s like with models there are way too skinny girls or plus-size girls and no in-betweens. So maybe it’s the location where I’m at but when I look around I see women way too skinny or extremely overweight, both extremely unhealthy, and anyone in between is depressed about it all the time. But at the same time I know from personal experience that skinny women generally have a tainted view of themselves to begin with and in their minds there’s always more fat they need to lose. What do you think? Men how does this imaging affect you or doesn’t it? Any imput is appreciated…

Why does the world dislike the United States of America?

As the war in Iraq continues for a fourth year, the global image of America has slipped further, even among publics in countries closely allied with the United States, a new global opinion poll has found.

Favorable views of the United States dropped sharply over the past year in Spain, where only 23 percent now say they have a positive opinion, down from 41 percent in 2005, according to the survey, which was carried out in 15 nations this spring by the Pew Research Center. In Britain, Washington’s closest ally in the Iraq war, positive views of America have remained in the mid-50s in the past two years, still down sharply from 75 percent in 2002.

Other countries throughout the world have have little or no repect for the United States due to the Iraq war and the lies the Government told. The Insurgents have more respect in the world than Bush and his supporters. The United States will end up losing the war on terrorism much like the war they lost in Vietnam.

Why are Americans allowing Bush and his maffia administration..to ruin the great image America once had?

I agree with Carter he is the WORST PRESIDENT this country ever had for over a centrury, Nixon got nothing on him!
All you NeoCons out there who is going to defend him to the very end …YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, putting political agenda above human decensy.

Do you know any rock songs that creates a false image on America and its people.?

the song would have to create a somewhat false image on America, or its politics, or its people, or its way of life ect… to someone who lives in another country.

Painting of an old man playing cards with images from his past?

Okay, so a few weeks ago I heard about this painting and I have no idea what it’s called. It’s apparently of an old man sitting at a table playing cards but on the cards are images from his past and they’re supposed to represent his memories. I was wondering if anyone knew what the painting is called because I’ve been thinking about using it in a poem or something. Thanks a lot!

If a photography agency has allowed us to use their images in the past, can that set a precident?

We are a company that has used the same photography and design agency many years to produce work for us. Although they own the copyright, they have allowed us to use these images for pretty much whatever we want, without additional charge. The agency now want to charge us for each usage.
Given the way the contract has been operated in the past, does that set any kind of precident or can we still be forced to pay?
