The lastest book in "The Game Of Thrones" series, so visual!

cotruelove @cotruelove (1016) • Denver, Colorado 1 Jan 12

I don't know if when you read you can see the picture in your mind, but the sign of a good book to me, is exactly that. "Fire and Ice" is one of those books. There are a lot of characters in the series to try to remember, but the...

What question do you think unethical to discuss with strangers?

SimpleBB @SimpleBB (1329) • Philippines 2 Sep 10

Why is evil always accompanied by darkness?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 20 Aug 10

In horror movies, when people talk about evil, it is always darkness? Why do we assume that in darkness there is evil? Can't white be evil?

5 responses

greenowl This is an interesting question. Often white is used as another word for good and black for evil, but I don't see why it has to be just those colors. Maybe it is because we are afraid of the dark night when we don't see well what is around us?

greenowl Maybe you can find a girlfriend on the net, one who shares your interests? In the meantime, be happy you can do as you like and don't have to think of pleasing another person.
