I'll give the study the benefit of doubt and say it is probably correct.

Here is a few quoates the author gave in defense of the study:
"this cluster survey approach, is the standard way of measuring mortality in very poor countries where the government isn’t very functional or in times of war. And when UNICEF goes out and measures mortality in any developing country, this is what they do. When the U.S. government went at the end of the war in Kosovo or went at the end of the war in Afghanistan and the U.S. government measured the death rate, this is how they did it."

"We think about 650,000 extra people have died because of this invasion, and about 600,000, some 90%, are from violence."

"t could conceivably be as few as 400,000 deaths. So we’re upfront about that. We don’t know the exact number. We just know the range, and we’re very, very confident about both the method and the results."

What do you think?

Before answering I hope you have good historical knowledge.
We know if Mohmmad was not there than Islam would not have been founded.
But can you give me a list of all those people, who if I go back in the past and kill will lead to the non inception of christianity.
In other words can you give me the entire list of people who were significant or helped in the creation and inception of christianity.

I'm 19 and a little lost.

What's your best advice on life?

Tell me anything- about people you've lost, time you wasted, regrets, marriage? Do you wish you could go back? Do you ever think of chances that you let slip through your fingers when you were younger? Tell me anything...

I've been dealing with a lot of seriously bad crap lately, some of you might recall some of my previous questions. But the events raised some questions in my mind. I know many people believe that vengeance is completely wrong, and hell, in court it wouldn't fly at all. But I honestly believe that depending on the crime it can be very appropriate for solid and harsh vengeance. After all, it's not like the Police Department does anything worth mentioning.

I have one round handle for hot and a seperate one for cold.
The handle for hot water is loose and can actually be pulled off the wall. I've used pliers to try and turn the rod sticking out from the wall but it doesn't stop the water completly. I bought 2 new rounds handles but they don't seem to fit the rod sticking out from the wall?
What can I do. I can't afford to call a plumber.
thanks

A wealthy business man and his wife are looking through a marriage-help book when his husband turns to his wife. ''It says here that the most important thing in a marriage is honesty. So let's come to grips here. Honey... have you ever cheated on me? I've never cheated on you.''
He saw the twisted look on his wife's face, and trying to supress his anger, he asked: ''How many times? And when?''

The wife responded, ''Well... you know that time when your company was broke, and you couldn't get the landlord to let his pay slide for another month?''

The husband stared. ''You mean you're the one who got him to?''

His wife knodded. The husband thought it over, then sighed. ''I guess that's okay. Any other times?''

''Well... when you had that heart attack, and the doctor refused to give a heart transplant for the ammount of money we had at the time... I kinda...''

''Ah, you're the one who made it possible.''

The husband looked honestly relieved. ''Well, that's understandable, you saved my life. Any others?''

She nodded. ''One more.''

The husband leaned forward. ''Well... you remember the time when you were running for president of your company, and you were short by 17 votes...?''

My business, Is between Heaven and hell and sinking fast. I have used up all of my savings and IRAs and Credit Lines to keep afloat.

My home is also tied into my business. If I fail , I lose all.

I have million dollar projects on the horrizon in the field of building and supply.

I pray that the good things happen before the bad.

I ask for intercessory prayer.

So many others will go down with me. I don't think I can last a month without help from above.

My six and a half year old boy is in the first grade. He was assigned a small project to come up with a map showing the escape routes of his home in case there is a fire. It does not have to be very elaborate, but if any of you know where I can find like an example of a good "safety fire plan" it would be of great help. Even where I work, there is not one posted anywhere. I just need some ideas please. Their class had a "Fire Safety Program" on Wednesday where the firefighters talked to them and I guess showed them around their trucks and etc. Any advice/suggestions appreciated.
