Mission
1. The North Carolina Press Photographers
Association (NCPPA) recently took back a photographer’s three awards
when it was learned that he had digitally altered some photos. I use
PhotoShop or other digital editing tools all the time on my
photographs. I never thought that was wrong. Do you think it
is "unethical" for newspaper photographers to use PhotoShop to alter
the images they capture? Should journalists be held to a higher
standard? If they do it to lighten or darken the picture so it
is clearer than yes but anything else is unethical. Yes.
2. On the flip-side of journalistic integrity,
several newspapers are choosing not to run the Sept. 7 edition of
"Doonesbury" because it mentions masturbation. I just don’t care for
Doonesbury anymore, but it made me wonder how much progress we’ve
really made as a society. Is masturbation a bad thing? Even in
the times in which we live, is it something that can’t be spoken of
still? And just for grins, do you really believe people who say
they’ve never done that? I’m not going with-in 10 feet of this
question next.
3. If you had the power to be the Webmaster Almighty, what
one thing would you eliminate entirely from the World Wide Web? get
rid of porn
4.Did you grow up in the same town when you were young, or
did your parents move around a lot? How do you think that impacted
your life? Has it had any affects on your adult life? We lived in 3
different cities then I live in 3 different cities and it introduced
me to new things, cultures and people.
5. Who deserves to be called a Liar to their face? What
would you say to them to publicly humiliate them? ("Liar,
liar, pants on fire…" nothing
6. How do you picture Heaven? a peaceful place
7. Who do you hope to meet in the afterlife? my family and
friends
BONUS: When you’re gone how can I even try to go
on?
Today’s Comment Question: What do you do really, really well?

The Thursday Thumb-Twiddler
1. If you emigrated to, let’s say, Spain, with the intent of staying
there, how long do you think it would be before you started speaking Spanish in
the home? Not sure. I speak spanish but I am not fluent. I get nervous when I

nerves. I would want to improve my spanish that way though.

here!
