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
~sick-snowangel
reports, July 1
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.

about registering copyrights

reports, June 11, 2008ABOUT REGISTERING COPYRIGHTS
Some people have asked me about the formal/ official way of registering your work and detaining copyrights. I have gathered some information I believe is useful. If there is anything else you know and would like to share, cos you believe it's important, please add your comment to this article. All help is important.
"In general, copyright registration is a legal formality intended to make a public record of the basic facts of a particular copyright. However, registration is not a condition of copyright protection. Even though registration is not a requirement for protection, the copyright law provides several inducements or advantages to encourage copyright owners to make registration. "
in copyright.gov

What does this mean? This means that copyrights refer to the rights an author detains over a certain work ( wether it is an image, a text, music, or any other object that can be created from scartch ). Meanin it cannot be reproduced, used, distributed, eddited or sold - unless stated otherwise.
However, in order to make it official you need to register your work, fill out some paper work, gather your work in a cd, book, or whatever other mean, and add your signature, date and other important info that might be necessary so that in the future you can prove that it is your work and no one else's.
This matter will bring you advantages such as:
you will be able to prove a certain artwork, music, graphic,... is yours and yours alone it might also cover your intellectual property ( idea, concept, something you've been working on but isn'tquite finnished, ... ) when stated
in case your work is stolen and sold without your permission, you will have rights over the money made with it How can I register my work in order to make it official and detain all copyrights over it? For all USA residents, you can check out [link]
Here, you can choose between a range of different kinds of works such as literary, visual works, performing arts, sound recordings, serials and periodicals, and masks works. For example, when it comes to visual artworks, the following steps are needed:
"
Step 1 Make sure your work is a visual arts work. Visual arts are pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works,
including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional works of fine, graphic, and applied art. (... )
Step 2 Put into one envelope or package:
* a completed application Form VA and Form CON if needed.
* a $45 payment to "Register of Copyrights."
* nonreturnable copy(ies) of the material to be registered. Read details on deposit requirements. (... )
Step 3 Send the package to:
Library of Congress
Copyright Office
101 Independence Avenue, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20559-6000
Note: Your registration becomes effective on the day that the Copyright Office receives your application, payment, and copy(ies) in acceptable form. If your submission is in order, you will receive a certificate of registration in approximately 6 months." (Note: We are currently experiencing processing
delays.)"

For Portuguese residents/ citizens Conheço uma forma mais simples, através da qual podemos lidar mais directamente com a pessoas do que propriamente no outro lado do oceano.
Guarda os teus trabalhos num CD e faz uma copia para ti. Em seguida, dirige-te a uma "Loja do cidadão", há várias espalhadas pelo país e muito provavelmente uma perto da tua residência. Aí explica-lhes que queres registar os teus trabalhos de forma a deteres os direitos de autor. É muito importante referires que queres guardar/ registar o bloco de trabalhos incluído no CD, e não cada um dos trabalhos em separado, porque assim fazem-te pagar por cada image separadamente. A última vez que me informei este processo tinha o preço de €25. É só seguir as informações que te são dadas.
Hope it' helps!
