not the filling of a vessel"

the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for
making it so.â€ â€"Noam Chomsky (American linguist). Do you agree, or disagree?
Explain why.

Is this the greatest quote of all time about the afterlife?

Tertullian

â€œAt that greatest of all spectacles, that last and eternal judgment how shall I admire, how laugh, how rejoice, how exult, when I behold so many proud monarchs groaning in the lowest abyss of darkness; so many magistrates liquefying in fiercer flames than they ever kindled against the Christians; so many sages philosophers blushing in red-hot fires with their deluded pupils; so many tragedians more tuneful in the expression of their own sufferings; so many dancers tripping more nimbly from anguish then ever before from applause."

â€œWhat a spectacle… When the world… And its many products, shall be consumed in one great flame! How vast a spectacle then bursts upon the eye! What there excites my admiration? What my derision? Which sight gives me joy? As I see… Illustrious monarchs… Groaning in the lowest darkness, Philosophers… As fire consumes them! Poets trembling before the judgment-seat of… Christ! I shall hear the tragedians, louder-voiced in their own calamity; view play-actors… In the dissolving flame; behold wrestlers, not in their gymnasia, but tossing in the fiery billows… What inquisitor or priest in his munificence will bestow on you the favor of seeing and exulting in such things as these? Yet even now we in a measure have them by faith in the picturings of imagination.â€ [De Spectaculis, Chapter XXX]

Replacement tablet for Kindle Fire HDX?

I've loved the Kindle Fire tablets since the first one came out. However, as I've grown older (I'm 15 now), I've found that the tablets aren't as amazing as I thought. My main problem is the lack of Google services. Since I've gotten in high school, I've found a wanting for Google apps, and a NEED for Google Drive.

What are some tablets to look at? I'll take any recommendations into account, but I'd prefer this criteria:

Around $200
Operating on Android (do not want Lollipop)
Camera (preferably front and back, but at least one or the other)
Physical buttons (like a physical home button, touchkeys as well)

I'd be at least partially satisfied with my current Kindle Fire, and probably the future generations too, but without those Google services this thing is like a large iPod touch, but even then the iPod touch would still be able to connect to Google Drive.

Thank you!

How to re-kindle a relationship/marriage after having a baby?

me and my husband been together for 5 years (6 in feb). Ever since we had our beautiful daughter,( whose now 7 months ) we haven't been so luvy duvy much cuz I stay at home all day with our daughter, which is alittle stressing… And my husband goes to work for 7-8 hours. When he gets home we don't really spend time with eachother unless were eating dinner together. But then were both taking turns giving our baby a bath and putting her to sleep. After she goes to bed, me and my husband don't really spend time together. I go in the bedroom and he is in the living room playing video games. We don't even get down and dirty as much as we use to. Its rare if we do, which isn't good. Sometime we just constantly argue over little things (because we are stressed from the baby). We tell each other we love each other and were happy with each other but our marriage has been so dull. We sometimes even look at each other like we should change our image cuz weve been letting ourselves go. We love each other and don't want nobody else but each other, we just lost our spark and happiness. I just want us to balance ourselves and have a happy and healthy marriage and re-kindle our relationship again, even though theres a baby in the picture. I just want to balance our marriage and our relationship with our daughter.has anybody ever dealt with this or is going through this. Please help

don't comment if your gonna judge. Im just asking for help

Should I buy a ipod touch 5th generation 16gb or Kindle Fire HD 6 16gb?

Hey all. I am interested in buying a new handheld device to use whilst slowly replacing my aging 4th gen.touch. I want a device to browse the web on, enjoy new apps on, and have a decent amount of space, so no less then 16gb. So far I like reviews of the 6 inch fire and its reasonably large screen for a one hand device. It is also a good amount cheaper as well. On the other hand i love my beloved ipod touch and I trust everything apple related, as well as really liking the looks of the 5th gen touch and its camera capabilities. I am worried though that the device is already a couple years old and I dont want it to age quickly. Can anyone recommend one over the other or have experience with ne of them? These two devices are what I am interested in the most but if there are any $200 or less recommendations for tablets that would also be appreciated.

For a little background, I am a 20 year old college student who doesn't upgrade tech often, so whichever one I buy I will own it for no less then a few years. Thanks
