Absolutely! Australia is a BIG country and the only way to see it is on a BIG screen. Having travelled around much of this country of ours, I still get awe struck whenever I am reminded of its extremes and raw beauty, its vastness and contrasts. If for nothing else, I will go and see it to appreciate Australia and the talent of our home grown actorsfilm makers and contributors. Let the rest of the world see where we are coming from and perhaps give a little respect where it is due!

The worlds most mind boggling question. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around does it make a noise
Back up your answer. Tell me why. Include if you believe in God or not. Age and gender too, it is a study for my psychiatry class.
If a spouse cheats on their mate and the mate is not around did that spouse make a noise or better yet did it really happen?brbrDoes the use of a shot gun jealous fit prove it happen?brbrIf you come home and find that your house burnt down did it make some noise as it caved in?brbrDoes no one being around to have seen the fire, mean there was no fire or that it did not happen?brbrThere is nothing mind boggling about your question other than if you really believe that it is mind boggling.brbrMind boggling is this go out in the middle of no where at night outside city limits where there is no light, so you can see as many stars as possible.brbrThen stare at them...and think if there was nothing where did it come from or when did it start? Dont cop out using God as an excuse...He is not going to be upset if you ponder that...He will be upset if every damn time you are faced with a challenge you use Him as a excuse. Get some balls and ponder that. ltin reference only to those who cop out and say, but Jesus Blah, Blah, Blah as the answer or response. Hi Ho ridem cowboy I am all for religion, but not ignorance.
The Worlds Hardest Riddle?
I turn polar bears white
Its got to be pressure.brbrPolar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.brbrPressure makes you cry if its too much.brbrPressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.brbrPeer pressure makes girls comb their hair...Otherwise we wouldnt bother!brbrCelebrities usually crack under pressure.brbrMany normal people will shine under pressure.brbrPancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.brbrChampagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.brbrIf you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.brbrIf you are quotlookingquot at pressure, youre in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop. brnot sure its correctPolar Bears may be be white due to evolutionary pressurenot my answer anywayjust cut and pasted the best answer I could find.
The works of art should remain in their country of origin ?
The owners of such works should be allowed to sell them to collectors abroad ?thus depriving the countrys population of a vital part of its cultural heritage
Great question. It always upsets me to see a great work of art leave its quothomequot.........I have often wondered if other people feel the same. I always cheer when I hear on the radio that a home nation gallery raised the cash to prevent a foreign collector getting their hands on it.brIts nice to see temporary foreign exhibitions travel round the world to give others a chance they wouldnt get especially poor people to see master pieces but strictly on a temporary basis.brObviously with some delicate works and sculpture this is impossible.brArt helps define a regions culture. If you take away significant works from say Rome, Amsterdam, Paris etc YOU are taking away the SOUL of the country.

The very thing you wish to control in another person will be the thing that will destroy you?
it will become your Frankenstein do you agree?
Of all the answers, MegOn the Run was the only one who expressed the quotFrankensteinquot in your question. quot...I have grown weary of letting it control me.quotbrThis is the Frankenstein, not the quotthing.quot brQuite a few perceived the quotthingquot as a mirror reflectionwhat you dislike in others is what you should work on yourself more, etc. Some pointed out destruction of the person one wishes to control. brI believe that any psychologically sound person would agree that that we should not wish, or attempt to control another. brIt is the motivation to control that can destroy you. It can be a fixation, amp a very unhealthy attitude. THAT is the root of the destruction.

The top five most influential people in the world in the past yrs. and why?
i need some ideas... who do you think are in the top five most importantinfluential people in the world over the past yrs, and why?
In the areas of science, religion, politics, and art the following certainly are the top or darned close to it brbr. Johannes Gutenbergbr. Sir Isaac Newtonbr. Martin Lutherbr. Charles Darwinbr. William ShakespearebrbrbrGutenbergs moveable type has exerted the greatest influence on humanity during the past , years. brbrSir Isaac Newton likely one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, made many important contributions to many fields in science. His discoveries and theories laid the foundation for much of the progress in science since his time. Newton was one of the inventors of the branch of math called calculus the other was German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz. He also solved the mysteries of light optics, formulated the three laws of motion, and derived from them the law of universal gravity.brbrbrMartin Luthers teachings inspired the Reformation and deeply influenced doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions, as well as the course of Western civilization. Luthers hymns, including his bestknown quotA Mighty Fortress is Our Godquot, inspired the development of congregational singing within Christianity. brbrCharles Darwin achieved lasting fame by producing considerable evidence that species originated through evolutionary change, at the same time proposing the scientific theory that natural selection is the mechanism by which such change occurs. This theory is now considered a cornerstone of biology.brbrbrWilliam Shakespeare, English dramatist and poet, was author of the most widely admired and influential body of literature by any individual in the history of Western civilization. His work comprises plays, sonnets, and narrative poems. Knowledge of Shakespeare is derived from two sources his works and those remains of legal and church records and contemporary allusions through which scholars can trace the external facts of his life.

The sorrow inside Is it worse to feel Sorrow or to feel Nothing?
It is worse to feel nothing.brbrThe pain of sorrow is not to make you sad, remember. Thats where people go on missing.... This pain is just to make you more alertbecause people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them. Otherwise they dont become alert. When life is easy, comfortable, convenient, who cares? Who bothers to become alert? When a friend dies, there is a possibility. When your womanman leaves you alonethose dark nights, you are lonely. You have loved that womanman so much and you have staked all, and then suddenly one day shehe is gone. Crying in your loneliness, those are the occasions when, if you use them, you can become aware. The arrow is hurting it can be used. The pain is not to make you miserable, the pain is to make you more aware! And when you are aware, misery disappears.brbrLife consists of sorrow too. And sorrow is also beautiful it has its own depth, its own delicacy, its own deliciousness, its own taste. A man is poorer if he has not known sorrow he is impoverished, very much impoverished. His laughter will be shallow, his laughter will not have depth, because depth comes only through sadness. A man who knows sadness, if he laughs, his laughter will have depth. His laughter will have something of his sadness too, his laughter will be more colorful.brbrThe man who cannot laugh deeply is the man who has repressed sorrow he cannot go deep because he is afraid of sorrow. Even if he goes deep into his laughter, there is a fear that sorrow may surface, may bubble up. He has to be always on guard. So please, whatsoever the situation is, start allowing it. If you are sad, you are sad. This is what God means for you at this moment at least he wants you to be sad. So be true...be sad! Live this sadness. And if you can live this sorrow a different quality of happiness will arise in you it will not be a repression of sadness, it will be beyond sorrow.brbrRemember, if you have not known sorrow together with happiness you have not known anything yet. Then your happiness is superficial your sorrow is also superficial. Then you have been living on the surface then you have known only the waves you have not known the depth of the ocean that you are.brbrYou will be surprised if you can meditate on sorrow, sorrow will reveal its secrets to you and they are of tremendous value. And sorrow, once it has revealed its secrets to you, will disappear. Its work is done, its message delivered. And when sorrow disappears, joy arises. Joy arises only when sorrow disappears out of meditation there is no other way. Joy wells up when you have broken the ice of sorrow that surrounds it. In fact, sorrow is like the shell that surrounds the seed it is protective, it is not the enemy. Once the seed has dropped its protection, is surrendered into the soil, the shell has died, only then the sprout is born.brbrAnanda, the cousin and disciple of Gautam Buddha. He was at Buddhas side constantly, attending to his every need for fortytwo years. When Buddha died, the story is told that Ananda was still at his side, weeping. The other disciples chastised him for his misunderstanding Buddha had died absolutely fulfilled he should be rejoicing. But Ananda said, quotYou misunderstand. Im weeping not for him but for myself, because for all these years I have been constantly at his side but I have still not attained.quot Ananda stayed awake for the whole night, meditating deeply and feeling his pain and sorrow. By the morning, it is said, he was enlightened. brbrTimes of great sorrow have the potential to be times of great transformation. But in order for transformation to happen we must go deep, to the very roots of our pain, and experience it as it is, without blame or selfpity.brbrGod Bless

You have loved that womanman so much and you have staked all, and then suddenly one day shehe is gone. Crying in your loneliness, those are the occasions when, if you use them, you can become aware. The arrow is hurting it can be used. The pain is not to make you miserable, the pain is to make you more aware! And when you are aware, misery disappears.brbrLife consists of sorrow too. And sorrow is also beautiful it has its own depth, its own delicacy, its own deliciousness, its own taste. A man is poorer if he has not known sorrow he is impoverished, very much impoverished. His laughter will be shallow, his laughter will not have depth, because depth comes only through sadness. A man who knows sadness, if he laughs, his laughter will have depth. His laughter will have something of his sadness too, his laughter will be more colorful.brbrThe man who cannot laugh deeply is the man who has repressed sorrow he cannot go deep because he is afraid of sorrow. Even if he goes deep into his laughter, there is a fear that sorrow may surface, may bubble up. He has to be always on guard. So please, whatsoever the situation is, start allowing it. If you are sad, you are sad. This is what God means for you at this moment at least he wants you to be sad. So be true...be sad! Live this sadness. And if you can live this sorrow a different quality of happiness will arise in you it will not be a repression of sadness, it will be beyond sorrow.brbrRemember, if you have not known sorrow together with happiness you have not known anything yet. Then your happiness is superficial your sorrow is also superficial. Then you have been living on the surface then you have known only the waves you have not known the depth of the ocean that you are.brbrYou will be surprised if you can meditate on sorrow, sorrow will reveal its secrets to you and they are of tremendous value. And sorrow, once it has revealed its secrets to you, will disappear. Its work is done, its message delivered. And when sorrow disappears, joy arises. Joy arises only when sorrow disappears out of meditation there is no other way. Joy wells up when you have broken the ice of sorrow that surrounds it. In fact, sorrow is like the shell that surrounds the seed it is protective, it is not the enemy. Once the seed has dropped its protection, is surrendered into the soil, the shell has died, only then the sprout is born.brbrAnanda, the cousin and disciple of Gautam Buddha. He was at Buddhas side constantly, attending to his every need for fortytwo years. When Buddha died, the story is told that Ananda was still at his side, weeping. The other disciples chastised him for his misunderstanding Buddha had died absolutely fulfilled he should be rejoicing. But Ananda said, quotYou misunderstand. Im weeping not for him but for myself, because for all these years I have been constantly at his side but I have still not attained.quot Ananda stayed awake for the whole night, meditating deeply and feeling his pain and sorrow. By the morning, it is said, he was enlightened. brbrTimes of great sorrow have the potential to be times of great transformation. But in order for transformation to happen we must go deep, to the very roots of our pain, and experience it as it is, without blame or selfpity.brbrGod Bless

There is no future only present!?
Have come to this conclusion by the simple fact that there is a proven past and that we live in the present at all times. Sorry know its a bit heavy for a Sunday....
We can plan for the future and imagine it but by definition it hasnt happened yet so the future cannot exist except in our imagination. Yes we do live in the present and react to the past.........
There is a village where the barber shaves all those and only those who do not shave themselves.?
Who shaves the barber?
As stated in other answers it is a paradox. But the paradox is created only by asking the question. Therefore to resolve the paradox the question must not exist. Thus the paradox cannot be resolved unless the definition of quotquestionquot does not involve the definition of quotexistencequot. Since anything that is scrupulated by logic must have a state of quotisquot then any definition must involve the definition of quotexistence.quot Unless logic has no meaning. Therefore the meaning of life is to determine whether logic has meaning or not and to present your answer to others in the most meaningfull way.

There are three kinds of Dreams Message dreams, Prophetic Dreams and Symbolic which do you have often?
Rena, there are actually more than the three types of dreams you referred to, but Ill confine my answer to them. brMessage, prophetic amp symbolic are intertwined. brDreams are most often represented in symbols, imagery amp metaphor. The quotmessagequot is in these the message quotcanquot be prophetic. brBy prophetic, I dont mean the dream quotthat comes true,quot such as, I dreamed my house caught on fire, amp it did the next day. I have NEVER seen this to be other than coincidental. Prophetic occurs in recurring dreams sending messages over periods of time that basically are telling us something about our quotinner selves,quot not events.brI was interested in params answer quotIf only someone could CORRECTLY interpret dreams!!!quot Someone can. THE DREAMER. With unbiased, leading questions, one who has long researched the complexity of dreams can take the dreamer into the dream, where they only they can explore it. Dreams are essential in our lives. Sleep deprivation is serious for more than the obvious reason, it also causes dream deprivation. brThere are those who adamantly declare they never dream. They simply dont quotremember.quot It may take discipline, at the start, to remember ones dreams. When one first awakens, using an audio cassette recorder is very useful. After pressing record, keep your eye closed to distractions. Then, keep a a dream journal. There are helpful methods on how to, amp how not to do this, amp I wont digress now. I simply cant stress how important dreams are, amp wish I could share with everyone who has an interest in them. Nor can I answer, which do I have often, for reasons already stated. brWe, only we, ARE our dreams. Thank you for the question!
Theres always something MISSING in my LIFE, can you TELL ME what it is?
I know why theres always something missingbecause Im not there.just kidding brbrI couldnt say what you are missing in your life because only you know what it feels like you are lacking. Could it be a meaning to your life, a purpose, or love?Try to quit searching so hard for what you feel is missing and enjoy what you do have. If there is something missing it will come when you least expect it. When we arent searching for answers so hard they tend to come to us easier.brIf you need to chat though you can email me. Ive always found my problems seem easier to deal with when they are shared. Peace and God bless.

Lived.brAnd when I say lived I dont just mean breathing and walking and talking.

The most important thing in life is it love??
Procreation, only reason we are here.
The most fundamental question. Did god create human beings or humans created god?
i think personally that it doesnt really matter if one created the other....religion is a necessary aspect of life...without we wouldnt be where we are today....it brings not only hope, but fear and joy. The world as a whole would be in chaos without religion...and this is coming from someone who isnt religious!!! ha! I do however believe in a higher power...there are too many coincidences in this world!brbrif you believe something exists without a doubt does that not make it real? and im not talking about crazy pink bunnies or flying pigs...i mean beliefsbrbrread allegory of the cave....similar to this question i guessbrbrhope my unbiased answer made sense
The most crucial battle of world war ?
Which of the following do you think was the most crucial battle?
Without a doubt, the Battle of Stalingrad. The destruction of the th Army under Von Paulus set in motion a sequence of events from which the Germans never recovered. The Wehrmacht lost between , and , men at Stalingrad, roughly a quarter of their entire strength on the Eastern Front. Even more significant was the blow to German morale, both in the field and at home. The once invincible Army Group South was effectively destroyed, causing a complete realignment of German forces in Russia. Divisions that were being utilized in other theaters now had to be shifted southward to stop the impending Soviet advance. After this defeat, the Germans never really regained the offensive in Russia. The Battle of Kursk, while noteworthy, only hastened an outcome that was pretty much inevitable after Stalingrad.

The Internet was made to waste time...?
We spend countless hours looking at a screen.
The internet, television, magazine, working, socialising if found to be wanting are considered a waste of precious time. Travelling in search of inspiration to gain the greater consciousness allowing man to find beauty and adventure in his ordinate and mundane chores is a blessing. The Internet is a wonderland as is YouTube. I have watched so many conflicting and awesome wonders on YouTube. Be headings, autopsies, pornography, murders, massacre, love songs, poetry, great thinkers and philosophers, high drama, the intelligentsia, lions killing a giraffe, the true and devout followers of all faiths and religions, how to DIY with success, Delia Smiths guide to perfect roast potatoes and Elvis The King of Roc and Roll, wow ... all gathered together under the indiscriminate umbrella of YouTube particle of the greater and diverse Internet. So much to learn of life ... learnt and yet the mind remains in want ..

Are you afraid of dying? Why or why not?
Those last few moments before I fall asleep, it dawns on me how someday, I am going to die. There really is no way out. For me, I feel trapped. I am a Roman Catholic, however, I have those times where I question myself and say, how can that be true? you know?
Yeah, it sucks. The feeling of not existing ever again like you were never here, nothing but a small fragment in history where you most likely didnt make a bit of difference no ones going to remember you. The thought of wondering if there is life after death, believing in God but doubting it because you know in the back of your head this could be very well made up, then realizing if it is true could unfaithful thoughts jeopordize your chances of getting in heaven? Could you spend your next life in eternal Hell forever burning in fire? Yeah, Im sort of afraid of dying. But such is life.

Are you afraid of DEATH? If so, WHY?
thanks to all answers
Its pointless to be afraid although many famous people were. Picasso, Louis Armstrong. They are now gone and you dont hear them complaining. Woody Allen said he just doesnt want to be there when it happens.
Are you afraid of death? If not why?
Can we avoid the usual supernatural stuff here please, ie JesusGodAllah etc. as I think that is all a bit subjective.
Of course. We all fear the unknown to some extent thats part of what it means to be human, and it is part of the survival mechanism that made humans such extraordinary survivors. We cant imagine what it would be like to not be, or to not wake up after sleep, so we imagine all kinds of afterlife that we could exist in. Im as scared as anyone of not being, but Im even more scared of people who believe absolutely that they know theres an afterlife and would have no problems with killing me because they are right!
