People like to take pictures of flowers and know flowers are the most beautiful part of the plant.
Obviously human genitals are the most beautiful part of humans body. In order to appreciate them we need to have a bird eye.
We have to put ourselves in a position of the third person to appreciate fully the beauty of the most beautiful part of our body. This is the secret of fair appreciation in art.

I have been so amazed to see some people tend to seek for a cultural meaning in artistic nude. Real artists are already trained completely to see art as art. I am completely free from such an appreciation based upon culture. This is an excellent work of art.--Ancient Greek Philosophers - 18c Enlightenment Thinkers - deviantART Users

You see something white between her thigh, that is called a hokkairo. Hokkairo is a small pouch contains chemicals that omit heat when exposed in air. This small pouch was attached in her black clothing. Older people like to use it while they are at work.--Ancient Greek Philosophers - 18c Enlightenment Thinkers - deviantART Users

Sorry for immature content.I believe pussy in the meaning of women's genitalia derives from the adjective of pus, which means thick yellowish liquid produced in infected scar, scar made by love of men. Merry Xmas!

That entirely depends. I myself think this picture leaves much to be desired. On the other hands, there are a few pictures that I feel they are artistically satisfactory, but those are subject to showing the number of unexpectedly few viewers. Things are vice versa. There are some cases that I feel not so satisfactory still show lots of visitors and good evaluations. I tried to post them somehow apart from my personal preference. Then I want to hear fair judgement by others.That said, I admit this pictuer is too mean. I'd like to post better ones next time.--Ancient Greek Philosophers - 18c Enlightenment Thinkers - deviantART Users

The original photo of this as well as others that took her private part closely were taken in miniature type Polaroid in 2000. We were in love about a year. She is not the same as my current wife. I haven't revealed her identity for this reason. She was at age 43 when taken. This photo was retaken the original one in cell phone type digital camera I bought in 2003, thus very tiny as it is above. Recently I bought another one and I can take much more precise and wide photos than before. Then I tried taking the pictures of those original Polaroid photos. But it was unsuitable by this new camera to take the picture of tiny photos in print. It tends to be much more blury. She was a very attractive woman though I can't reveal her face. I intend to take a picture of my current wife more not closely as they are but attractive as a whole thinking the position of objective.--Ancient Greek Philosophers - 18c Enlightenment Thinkers - deviantART Users

There are many mutually agreed transactions that are considered illegal. For example, drug-dealing, weapon-dealing, gambling, prostitution. These deeds themselves are not illegal. They are illegal if done too many times, systematically and clandestinely or out of the hands of public authority. They become illegal only when they are against public welfare.

But in his times Hebrew and Koine were more useful languages in that Hebrew is a written language of Scriptures and Koine was a common language spoken throughout Eastern part of Roman Empire. But I agree, he used his native tongue basically in his teachings.Buddha died at age 80. He had enough time to learn other languages, besides he didn't have to worry about his daily life at all. Aside from that, choice of language is extremely important in prevailing their thought. I never use my native tongue to express my idea both in writing and in speech. I think more and more people today are doing so this borderless society. You yourself are Danish, but how can you make yourself understood in Danish when people around you only understand English?

Probably first partial attempt to translate Bible into Latin was started as early as St Paul arrived in Rome in his last destination of missionary around AD 60.First authorised Latin translation was made by Jerome in Vulgate in AD 405. Since then Jerome's Vulgate has been used almost exclusively as an official version of Catholic for a long time till now, so it's so natural you thought it Latin.

Hi, ***..
I had thought, because New Testament was recorded in common Greek, that Jesus spoke Koine.
Jesus probably called his God Eli or Eloi in Aramaic or Adonai in Hebrew since Greek words theos, kyrios were used. Jesus and his disciples didn't call their God Jehovah.
Jehovah is used in place of kyrios, which means lord, and lord in New Testament either means Jesus or Jehovah depending on the context.
I encounter many confusions in New Testament.
Have any ided?

ullangoo saidJesus did not speak Greek. Till recently I found Jesus spoke Aramaic somewhere in the net I had thought he must have spoken Koine or simplified common Greek for New Testament was written in Koine. Jesus didn't call his God in his name if he simply used Eli for his God. Jesus might have used the term Adonai as well as Father to call his God since what is important is their relation to God. If someone thinks God is his lord or father, they will call their God so. That does not mean their God is really their lord or father. They called so because of their faith. Father means both our biological father and God in heaven. In the same manner kyrios, adonai, lord all mean in many ways including their master, teacher, God, etc. I reflect I was too particular about the use of word. What is important in use of words was how we feel in our mind.

Hi ***..
I made a mistake in the last letter.
>Probably more in passages at Joel, Jehovah is used like a 'proper noun', not pronoun.
A bit more on this matter.
Please read Acts 2:17 to 21 more carefully. In verse 17 the word God appears. In Greek it is theos so it's OK. However in the verse 20 and 21 the use of Jehovah ought to be replaced in lord since Greek term for these two is kyrios, usually translated as lord and means either Jehovah or Jesus.
I think verse 20 is talking about the second coming of Jesus
I think verse 21, 'of' was genitive in Greek as kyriou, so the name of lord can read simply lord's name, that is in this case Jehovah.
The use of term 'lord' is simply ambiguous, but we can't automatically replace here in Jehovah at any time.
I'm happy to talk about it soon.
Anyway it's religion. In the end we can believe what we are eager to believe. :-)

mercedo saidI wonder how accurate your knowledge is! Not sure but I believe Elohim means simply One God, on the other hands YHWH is used as proper noun, literally means God makes. They say Elohim was Israel origin and YHWH Juda. Hm. Elohim is a plural form, actually - El is the singular, and we don't find that except as ending in personal names, e.g. Mika-el. It may simply mean "god", or it may be the name of a tribal god other than Jahveh. We/they don't know.The original form is Jahveh, and that is with certainty a proper name - like Apollon or Thor. They changed the vowels in it because it became too holy to pronounce or write in its original form. Thus they got Jehovah which resembles the present causative participle of the verb "to be"; it means "the one who makes things be". That etymology is found I forget where, I think in Exodus, and it is a completely false one.The above has been taught me by University professors who had studied Hebrew for 20 years. I assume it's accurate.

In many versions of Old Testament, capital letter LORD is used in place of YHWH. As you say, no tetragrammaton appears in Greek scriptures, therefore lord instead of LORD is used in New Testament, generally.

The text does not say "Jehovah" at all; it says: "And it shall happen [literally 'be'] that everyone who calls the LORD'S name shall be saved." The Greek word for 'lord' is kyrios; your "of" is expressed by a genetive in Greek (kyriou). No text varieties are given in my edition for this verse. Your translation is - er, interpreting. 'Kyrios' often refers to Jesus. It's Peter talking here, not Jesus. When he refers to God, he says "theos", not Jehovah.

I have read somewhere it was Antiochus IV Epiphanes (215–164 BC) who was mainly called ' a son of God' , of course not all Caesars were called so though.
Jesus was crazy
I had just too many extra time in my 3rd grade in university, so I became a counsellor for about half a year. Then I had an strong impression that clients who have been suffered from schizophrenia showed a strong similarity with what Jesus said. One of the features I noticed in the schizophrenics is they are too logical to live in this illogical world, especially they were logic in language.
I'm not certain whether Jesus was suffered from schizophrenia, though, it's Ok even if he was so. In the end all people are more or less crazy. It's Ok as long as he doesn't do harm to others.
what he said was neither blasphemy nor treason according to Roman law.
I think he was crucified violating some statute in Roma Empire, otherwise we have to think he was executed in kangaroo court. Is it only me who thinks Romans were too proud of their judicial system to kill innocent people?

I'm not certain whether Jesus was suffered from schizophrenia, though, it's Ok even if he was so. In the end all people are more or less crazy. It's Ok as long as he doesn't do harm to others.
what he said was neither blasphemy nor treason according to Roman law.
I think he was crucified violating some statute in Roma Empire, otherwise we have to think he was executed in kangaroo court. Is it only me who thinks Romans were too proud of their judicial system to kill innocent people?
God and the name of him
Nov 9, '07 12:53 AMfor everyone
Hello ***,
I was confused myself... Read especially Acts 2:21 more carefully. Both Acts and Joel 2:32 says ' the name of Jehovah'. I have to check the grammar of 'of' in original language, but it seems not 'the name' is 'Jehovah' and it's more likely that means 'Jehovah's name'
If his name is Jehovah, these passages ought to be written as 'Jehovah, the name of God'.
It seems Jehovah simply means God in these passages. I can read these passages as 'the name of God is unknown but call him in our mind'.
Probably more in passages at Joel, Jehovah is used like a pronoun. Basically Jehovah is the name of God in Hebrew scriptures. I can't believe Jesus used the term Jehovah in early Christianity. Jesus might not have used the term Jehovah because we can imagine that he wanted to establish a different religion from Judaism in his teachings.
Please examine more on this. Because we've been discussed it many times.

Hello ***,
Yes, it's one of the best seasons in Japan. We loved to see pink cosmos and now we see yellow leaves on the mountains.
I used to travel a lot. I visited Vancouver once in 1991. I have visited almost all states in America, many countries in Europe, Australia, etc.
Of course I speak only one language, that is the language from the bottom of my heart.

Cause of his death
Pilate asked Jesus only whether he was a son of God. Jesus didn't deny and said as he said so. Virtually he admitted that he was a son of God. At that time a title son of God was only used for Caesar or more specifically for Epiphanes. Pilate must have known Jesus was guilty for high treason judging from the way he replied.

At war those who killed more are eligible to receive medals for their deed. In short, mass killers are heroes. They are not in the least deserved to be dead in death penalty since their deeds were done at war. But if mass murder was held at peace, they all are derved to death penalty. Kinds of thought objection to death penalty seems to ignore the fact that when those deeds were taken place.

I often recall what has become of same age people, especially women.
Usually they got married 7 or 8 years earlier than guys. I have somehow heard of them in a wind letter, which means in rumour or indirectly, but largely just I don't know.
I've been making every possible effort to let them know my whereabouts not dirctly from me, every day and night!
See you on your next good job soon!

In a current system only Minister of Justice can decide who actually is going to be executed. I must say this is inevitably based on arbitrary political decision rather than the pure judicial decision. If they say the independence of judge exists, the execution ought to be done without permission of the minister.

Marriage -its ideal & reality
Nov 4, '07 3:55 AMfor everyone
Many years ago I thought I'd better marry not so pretty woman because I don't have to worry about her being another's love after we married.
Many years later I realised I can't divorce her. If I did so, she would have no another husband. Certainly she has not loved by many guys, but also from now on she will not be loved by others but me. I would divorce a woman if she were very pretty. I wouldn't have married a pretty woman and I would divorce a pretty woman. It was really a right decision to get married to not so pretty woman in many aspects.

Sure many were willing to sacrifice themselves, but almost all were forced to drink and lose their sanity. They were repeatedly taught to sacrifice themselves from their childhood. They might have done so voluntarily or willingly out of their very biased idea nourished from wrong education. They had one life stand relation with a state-hired prostitute.

Ghost mansion
I went to the university festival near my house. I entered the ghost house by myself. It was a spot so popular that many young couples were waiting for the room. It was very well devised and completely dark. It was a very good place to confirm the love between couples. They must have spent too much money for making a house. The place was one of the main attractions in their school festival.Devisers know how to nourish love more than how to accumulate their knowledge.Some university today became certainly a ghost mansion of knowledge.
Divine wind
Many university students were enlisted just before the end of the Pacific war in 1945. Almost all were dead in a desperate attack. One commander of them sent them saying that he surely come after their death. Just too many youngsters around age 21 were dead before the end of war, but the commander survived.He kept his promise at age 95 long after he made a promise
Automatisation of death penalty
2007.11.04 1:22
Many inmates are waiting behind the death row, but their penalty has not been carried out yet. It's necessary to have the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution in each cases.Also the Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama declared that there oughtn't to be any waiting for the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution.He said death penalty automatically be carried out.I think this is insightful.
Friend's friend?
2007.11.04 0:48
Japan's Minister of Justice! Kunio Hatoyama confessed that his friend's friend is a member of al-Qaeda.What he wanted to point out was 'probably' that terrorists hide themselves beside us as he clarified today in his constituency, so be careful. But believe me...it's too difficult to interpret so. Just too many people interpreted that he -Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama himself is a friend of terrorist group.Theoretically speaking, neither enemy's enemy nor friend's friend means anything. He was not wrong. Just he should have needed to make allowances for the gap between his intelligent level and that of the general public.He should have rightly confessed that his enemy's friend is a member of al-Qaeda since many people tend to get an impression that friend's friend must be a friend.

Just he should have needed to make allowances for the gap between his intelligent level and that of the general public.He should have rightly confessed that his enemy's friend is a member of al-Qaeda since many people tend to get an impression that friend's friend must be a friend.

The usage of the word 'freak' is interesting. Originally the word freak has two meanings. One is for crazy fan like 'I am a freak of New York Yankees'. Another one is rather traditional like used in the phrase like a freak of nature. Sure those who regard me as their foe are monsters. We ought't to make 'monsters' in any sense.

What I've been doing at Europe Endless
If you haven't switched over yet, do so now.Autonomy in the Academy
The Brussels-based think tank, BRUEGEL, is rankling some feathers with its report on the performance of European universities, “Why Reform Europe’s Universities?” (full report loads in pdf form). According to its methods (which I won’t analyze–note attention to patenting below), American universities perform vastly better than European, with some American states beating out higher education in all European nations.
Explanations focus on spending, especially the amount spent on research. What I find interesting is that the report also focuses on the governance of universities,noting that administrations of Americans universities have greater latitude in determining how to spend available funds.
There is considerable variation in university governance across states. States vary not only in the relative importance of private versus public universities, but also in the degree of autonomy granted by state authorities to public universities. Sometimes, even neighbouring states display sharp differences in governance. For instance, public universities in Illinois enjoy on average rather low autonomy, while their neighbours in Ohio enjoy high autonomy. These differences are persistent over time and often go back to the idiosyncratic origin of American universities, which in turn reflect differences in the preferences of university founders … .
Our strategy is to take US states’ differences in university autonomy as given and then ask the following question: Does a given investment in higher education produce more patenting in a US state if universities in that state are more autonomous? … The answer to our question is a resounding ‘yes’. As illustrated in Figure 2, the effect of additional spending on patenting is roughly twice as high for states with more university autonomy. Autonomy therefore greatly enhances the efficiency of spending.
Limits of Liberal Tolerance?
John Holbo, responding to Stanley Fish, wrote the following last week:
I would also like to request a moratorium on critiques of liberalism that consist entirely of a flourish for effect – with accompanying air of discovery – of the familiar consideration that liberalism is inconsistent with blanket, categorical tolerance of absolutely every possible act and attitude. That is, liberalism is incompatible, in practice, with any form of illiberalism that destroys liberalism. If something is inconsistent with liberalism, it is inconsistent with liberalism. Yes. Quite. We noticed.
Also, it might not be a half-bad idea to notice that liberalism is not incompatible with religion, merely with illiberal forms of religion. Just as liberalism is incompatible with illiberal forms of secularism.
Of course, liberalism need not devolve into a celebration of all philosophical systems, all world-views. It’s reasonable to expect that, given liberalism’s attention to the individual, aspects of any philosophy or belief that limits individual action would come under criticism. Certainly liberalism would not seek to become self-defeating. However, Mr. Holbo wants to believe that liberalism is itself intolerant of intolerance, that the compromises made in the midst of political discourse does not undermine the philosophical foundations of liberalism.
Is liberalism intolerant of intolerance? I find it hard to swallow. In practice, liberalism reveals itself as a different beast from its self-image. The history of its application reveals difficulties in accepting completely open political discourse. Liberal political parties started by introducing voting qualification or making elections indirect. Later compromises followed. (I could launch into another long exposition about Jacobins or the Kulturkampf, but I’ve decided not to write about them for the next few months.)
There are two problems: how liberalism constructs its legitimacy, and the makeup of liberalism itself. Tolerance is but one idea that liberals employ to set themselves off against other groups; the dichotomy between tolerance and intolerance is meant to empower the former at the expense of the latter. In the broader sense, liberalism tends to a singular vision of truth which only with difficulty allows plurality in the public sphere. Indeed the pattern of liberal politics, according to Pierre Rosanvallon, has been to introduce “counter-democratic” institutions in the attempt to limit the individual’s free use of political rights.
Liberalism itself is a problematic concept. Some historians have stopped approaching it as a philosophy. Instead they look at the constellation of political, social and economic interests that come to embody liberal politics. In an upcoming book, L’Empire du moindre mal, Jean-Claude Michéa argues that liberalism was primarily an economic phenomenon that developed a complimentary philosophical tradition. Market economy and democratic politics were two aspects–two “translations”–of liberalism, though the former imposed itself on the latter more forcefully. Defending property and economic rights became more central to their programs, and in nations where they were weak, liberals compromised ideals.
Unfortunately, practice must be taken seriously in understanding liberalism. The liberal critique of traditional institutions provided a powerful tool in political reform, even when applied by non-liberal groups. Liberalism itself has had a shakier history.

One thing I noticed as to the gap between pros and laymen is whether they show gracefulness in their performance. Some laymen's work is completely correct and accurate, but I must say sometimes it's too astute, there's no room for enjoyable playful mind. Pros know sagely how to show their performance more gracefully much more than laymen. We observers often enjoy the graceful and amusing ambience radiant from their performance rather than the correctness or accuracy itself in their performance.
