What does paradise mean to an audience...

A pure paradise is where everything is equal, everyone has the same oppurtunities as others, where there is peace and serenity. People are allowed to make mistakes but should be forgiven even so. a chance to go where you want and do what ever you wanted but with the normal restrictions. people think that when new things are discovered it should be known by everyone, therefore there is a possibility of things being lost. Therefore paradise found is paradise lost. sun, friendship, peace, serenity + love is the paradise i would want to live in. IF ONLY.


it should be a place that people think is like Heaven; where only the good people go.


No War - World Peace
An earth that is as safe for our children as it is for our grandchildren
Love, Tolerance, Trust
No Pain


Would we ever be able to make paradise?
Paradise means different things to everyone
I create paradise, how would i live with others it would not be paradise...
But shooting all men at 25 would be a start!


Paradise is being content in your surroundings, want for nothing.


If you could picture paradise, it wouldnt be paradise!...
The hope and belief to what 'paradise' 'IS' is what strives us to try and reach it
Paradise to me is belief in trying to reach something we'll never achieve!
...You always want more!


Be a good person + being happy creates paradise


No work, Lots of money


Paradise on earth
Children can trust and so grow into adults who trust.
comfortable shelter
*apples trees - eat what you like


Playing domineos everyday and drinking tea


[An illustration] including the local pub, the mountains, the nearest beach, the forest, 'my' house, the local pool


WORLD PEACE


no crime, no poverty, no illness, no war, helping each other, food for everyone


[an illustration of a heart]


Money growing on trees, no wars / starvation / poverty


How would i create paradise?
I would take out all the bad people and bad happenings
an all around happy world - world peace + unity


Paradise is love and childrens laughter


Paradise would be somewhere, where there was no violence and no one was hurt. but thats the unthinkable because there wouldnt be a such thing called judgement day.


how to create: eradicate religion!!! which promotes intolerance
what it would look like? who knows?


Everything was the same and everything would work out for the best


Paradise is not possible (unless there are no people or animals)


PEACE :- no wars no mindless killings
HAPPINESS :- people happy in their own skin
we live in paradise, its what we make of it that counts, to wake up in the morning to see what's around us surely then we gaze on paradise. NOT TO WAKE!!


Worldwide, peace, paitence, tolerance, consideration, co existence without greed


Live life to its fullests


Paradise would not be hard to find if everyone wanted it
Paradise on earth lies with the people living here and perfect harmony is possible if we all try


Instructions for paradise:
1. perfect weather everyday
2. fresh food and water in constant supply
3. no work all play

Review ordered after abuse death

death of a 17-month-old boy after months of abuse, despite him being on an at-risk register, has sparked an review of child protection in England.
It comes as two men were found guilty of causing his death in August 2007.
The boy, from Haringey, north London, suffered 50 injuries, and the case has revealed a series of failings by social workers, health workers and police.

quote on Islam

Quote from Ziauddin Sardar (very clever muslim academic)

But I soon discovered that when Islam and the state are one and the same thing, and when there is only one way of interpreting Islam and of being a Muslim, you end up with self-righteous fascism. If you believe that you possess the absolute truth, you naturally want to keep it pure and exclude everything that you see as falsehood. Moreover, you are keen to impose it on others whatever the cost. When you internalise Islam as a single ideology, you cease to be, in my opinion, human. In their excessive zeal to be guardians of their brand of hyper-orthodox Islam, many Saudis have forgotten how to be human.

When I first went to Saudi Arabia I thought I would discover a new level of humanity, a new, unparalleled appreciation of the dignity of difference. Instead, I encountered a type of religious xenophobia that I could not imagine. I realised then that Islam cannot be packaged into a single ideology. Later, revolutionary Iran and the Taliban further strengthened my belief. For me, Islam is all about knowing yourself as a human being. Before you can be a "good Muslim" you must be a good human being. Simplest, monolithic interpretations of Islam undermine this.

possibility for set

hi guys, anyone remember dan mentioning a television set wall? well i like that idea but ive elaborated a bit, combining the whole 'suspension' concept that a few people seem to like from the 'Perspective art' post. Considering the idea of our own cult and the heavens gate style recruitment videos i thought we could maybe hang television sets around the space... wherever the audience look they are being taken in by whatever is on them etc. anyway... i tried to find a picture to kind of support my idea and was sucessful... thank god for google images :p let me know what you think...

Paradise comes at a price?

Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please?

The good news is, she can't have babies
And wont accept gifts from me

They'll just grow up, and break the laws you've loved

Take off your disguise

Useless device, it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone
It won't be long, before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please?

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
It's me

Murder of Victoria Climbié

(2 November 1991–20 February 2000) was abused and murdered by her guardians in London, England, in 2000. The public outrage at her death led to a public inquiry which produced major changes in child protection policies in the United Kingdom, including the formation of the Every Child Matters programme; the introduction of the Children Act 2004; the creation of the ContactPoint project, a planned government database that will hold information on all children in England and Wales; and the creation of the Office of the Children's Commissioner chaired by the Children's Commissioner.[1]
Both her guardians, Marie-Thérèse Kouao (born 18 July 1956 in Bonoua, Ivory Coast) and Carl Manning (born 31 October 1972), were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment at their trial on 12 January 2001.[2]
Born in Abobo, Ivory Coast, Climbié moved to England at the age of seven with her great-aunt Kouao. It is suspected that Kouao started abusing Climbié soon after her arrival in the country, and the abuse worsened when Kouao moved in with Carl Manning. Up to her death, the police, the social services department of many local authorities, the National Health Service, the NSPCC, and local churches all had contact with her, and noted the signs of abuse. However, in what the judge in the trial following Victoria's death described as "blinding incompetence", all failed to properly investigate the abuse and little action was taken. She died in February 2000, aged eight.

Dad Snapped Baby Daughter's Spine

James Howson, 25, was told he must serve at least 22 years.
He had been found guilty of murdering his daughter Amy earlier this week after a trial at Leeds Crown Court.
Amy's mother, Tina Hunt, 26, was given a 12-month suspended sentence for allowing the death of a child and child cruelty. She admitted the charges.
Sentencing Howson, the judge, Mrs Justice Cox, recounted how the defendant placed his daughter over his knee or other object and broke her back at their home while he was looking after her.
He then sat with her body until the morning.
The judge said: "This was, in my view, a chilling and brutal attack. The bone was completely dislocated, resulting in spinal shock, rapid unconsciousness - mercifully - and to death."

A reference point for physical comedy and clowning

just so you can see why what we're doing is funny the big smile and then the flop and shame and backing away.
uses these just as something to help your knowledge but don't try to copy anything the best thing you can do as a clown is give your response to something innocently and on the spot don't take time to think of a funny reply to play for laughs just go with it be natural, stop acting =]

Perspective Art
