Omar1980 What a hideous crime, and a sad story. These criminals like you said should rot in jail. Using rape to teach a lesson, what a sick mind.

Did we? I have no idea.. We do have a documentary covering it, but i have not watched it yet. And a teacher of mine, said it was just a set up.I have always thought that we did..so was that all a lie?

Omar1980 Surely it was not lie. The Apollo program was a successful one and US astronauts did land on the moon. All these conspiracy theories are so funny and based on crazy analysis. A cover up of this scale is impossible. It is easier to land on the moon then to...

Don't get me wrong, I love John Grisham and I read all his books. He is really the master of legal thrillers. Smooth, easy to read writing. However, don't you think having a book per year is too much. He is overdoing it and...

Omar1980 Most probably that is true. The ideas are always their and he developments them during this year. And he is getting good results because he is a talented story teller. But if he takes more time I believe the product will be more amazing.

Omar1980 That must be tough to have a chosen path and not to be able to take it due to special interest groups. In the meantime you have to do something to build some experience and to build some financial support and why not some relations that may help you in the...

Omar1980 We cannot ignore the fact that appearances matter. The first time you meet someone his appearance will for sure play a role in your initial opinion. As much as we try to not judge by it we will fail. This is part of our nature to treat the well dressed or...

Omar1980 Or maybe the writers if they are already established can sign a specific contract to preserve the integrity of their craft. From day one they will say I will only write 3 or 4 books and that is it. I believe this will encourage more people to start...

Omar1980 That is not freedom of speech. She seriously crossed the line. You are free to express your opinion. But to have so much hatred. And to wish the death of any human being is unethical and dangerous. Also, the racism in her comment is unacceptable in this day...

Omar1980 Exactly youless, it is better to have preventive action then corrective action. Don't let them get hooked in the first place. And As I said in my initial reply raising the price may help as a preventive action but not so much as a corrective one. Because if...

Omar1980 You are right about the fact that poems have a way to touch your heart if its well written. When you read poetry you feel that it's a more personnel experience for you and for the writer then a novel specially if its describing a subject close to your mood...
