    Nobody can teach you art... You have it, or you don't.

    I definitely disagree about this, maybe you are thinking about talent. But art(istic techniques) can be learned all the time, especially if the person is eager to learn it. No pro pianist could play like they can from the start ;)

    Learning technique has helped me turn my artistic vision into pieces of art that look the way I want them to. It is the difference between saying it doesn't look like much and it is supposed to be this but any way here is my drawing and having someone else say I like it for what it is. Art lies in the capacity to fulfill your vision to the extent that it can be seen and recognized by others. A poet for example is an artist as is a cook or a even a reliable adviser. Everyone has some talented vision or a sense of appreciation yet I hear people lament their lack of talent. Talent comes out in the congruence of vision and satisfaction. Everyone radiates lovely proportions when they are happy.

    My artistic achievements include a skull made of clay in 8th grade, a poem about prostitutes, cheap alcolhol and worms and insects eating a person's insides (translated to English it got great feedback and positive comments on HF!), and a wooden cross.
    I also wrote a really, really realistic poem about my mother.

    you do realize that it's only a matter of time before some guy looking at your avatar figures you're a hot chick and sends your a dick pic, right?

    guys have been figuring i'm a hot chick based solely on my username and wishful thinking for the last 10 years. no dick pics yet, but i've gotten pretty much everything short of that.

    I just watched a video by Russell Means, a Native American activist, who says that the US is now actually one big reservation, but the population seem to be unaware of this fact.

    I found his view interesting because I have had the thought before that my own country, England, is in fact one big open prison. A work camp under a neo-feudal elite.

    Sorry if that seems depressing.

    It's all true.

    The United States, for one thing, is a corporation. And that's not just me saying that, it's true.

    Many voices are in unison on these issues. And from many different sources. That's one of the things I find some hope in in our times - that many more people have at least some awareness of what is going on, and how they are being ripped off.

    That is true.

    But the monetary system would have to change for the possibility of any real change. People would have to stop working for something that doesn't exist and the monetary system would have to be replaced with another system. And I'm not saying it couldn't be work as MONEY but there would have to be something linking said "money" to reality.
