Just because I prefer to stick with photo topics on a photo site? And yes free speech is free speech, but can't you make a point without resorting to personal or sectional abuse?

Northern Calif. Counties Want To Succede From California

it's secede. Of course, if they are not getting what they need from the state, I hope they succeed. At my end, there are parts of Maryland with people in it that want to go it alone too. Probably some other states too.

BTW, what's the name of the lab? Just curious. I know The Darkroom.com is still hanging in there.

At least get a tripod or have some way to keep the camera steady

I understand your preference to unload it all, but I am interested in just the film, if possible.

Canon Insult

I would have to know what label the wine was, to decide if I was offended.

new camera

Think simple. Try auto or P for a while, and concentrate on really LOOKING at what you are seeing. Develop your photographer's eye. Then when you get home & have time, play with the settings.

what is your source on that?

Yes, that is a danger. re: German.....there's a story about a Lufthansa pilot coming into Berlin, asking landing instructions in German, & reminded to use English. "I am a German pilot in a German airplane landing in a German city! Why must I use English." A British voice cuts in, "because you lost the bloody war, mate!"

You mean Spanish & English? It's possible that we are making a very fundamental evolution here. But you are also right about difference. Also, I'd be against allowing Sharia here. It seems to work just find for misogynistic, techno-fearing haters wanting to burn the world back down to the 10th century but it has no place here. Besides, if the west is so horrible, why come here?

Well, I feel that what they do at home or on their own time is their own concern. If they want to preserve their own culture that's fine. But they need to respect where they are now. Still, I believe there is room for all, and that new ideas enrich and strengthen a culture. The Russians must take care that they don't start to look inward because they risk becoming stale as a nation and a people. Actually, this is advice to US as well. Have you ever noticed how there is a sort of hazing process for each new group. They arrive and are "those people." After a generation or two, their grandchildren get to make the same complaints that were made about their own families.

But we are a nation of immigrants.
