The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.
Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.
The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

reports, July 1Sex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, 
, said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism?
~jjankk
reports, July 7
reports, July 7This is an extremely old article from 2005 but I found it interesting.
It explains how some graffiti artists began to sell their art for money. There are people in the world who think that graffiti is art and not vandalism and other who feel the opposite way. I feel like graffiti is a work of art and should not be banned or should not be against the law. Even though I consider graffiti art I don't think it should be sold to galleries and to people. I think graffiti was meant for the streets and that's where it should stay. What's your opinion on this topic?

Colectia: Poezii pentru copii
- Spune-mi, Copilărie,
cum ai vrea să fie cărticica aceasta
de poezie?
- Aş vrea să fie frumos colorată
şi să înceapă cu “Nu se va sfârşi
niciodată”
- Bine,
şi despre ce ai vrea în ea să citeşti,
ca să nu îţi vină să caşti
atunci când te plictiseşti?
- Păi, despre multe poveşti adevărate
şi...nu mai ştiu
- Dar în ce culoare ai vrea
să ţi-o scriu?
- În ce culoare îţi place ţie mai mult,
ca să pot să îmi imaginez orice
când ascult
Vis de primăvară
----------------
- Ştii, când m-ai trezit,
tot cerul era plin de fluturi
- Aşa e dimineaţa,
când de vise trebuie să te scuturi
- Din când în când, unii se aşezau…
Dar numai pe florile de ză
adă
- Şi nimeni în afară de tine
nu mai dormea ca să-i vadă
- În genunchi, lângă acele palide flori,
Îl rugau pe Dumnezeu
să le mai ia de pe aripioare
nişte culori
- Ceva, ceva, am auzit,
dar mi-a plăcut să cred că este
un ciripit
- Dumnezeu, atunci, i-a întrebat:
“De ce să vă iau de pe aripioare
culorile pe care Eu vi le-am dat?”
- Şi fluturii ce-au răspuns?
- Că “ Nouă, Doamne,
o pulbere de argint ne este de-ajuns
Dar cu florile nu-i aşa,
ele, primăvara, îşi doresc
