It surprises me that the US would go after Iraq when there are a lot of countries that are much bigger threats to US security, such as North Korea and Iran. Saddam Hussein was just minding his own business in Iraq in 2003 when Bush decided to invade for no real reason, and yet Kimberly Jong-Il and Mahmoud Mahmasemamasamamakusanadinejad are off building nuclear weapons and the US doesn't do a thing. Not only that, the US is still allies with Saudi Arabia despite the fact that they have one of the worst human rights records on the planet. The Qur'an clearly states that there can be no compulsion in religion (Qur'an 2:256), and yet the Saudis refuse to let anyone practice any religion other than either Sunni or Shia Islam. I just don't get why the US invades countries that don't need to be invaded, doesn't invade countries that do need to be invaded, and remains allies with countries that do not uphold human rights. Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

My mother says if I went on a shooting spree and killed many people (like at school) the cops would shoot me instead of arresting me. Would they still shoot a beautiful or gorgeous girl if she did the same thing? I heard beautiful girls are treated better- I hope that's not true.

I am going to enter a drug rehab in ca. I am ashamed of myself but realize that I need help before my drug addiction becomes all-consuming. My mom who is in her eighty’s has Alzheimer’s and has had a lung problem for sometime. The drug rehab is six months and is out of the town that I live in. What keeps going around and around in my head is there is a great possibility she might die, while I am gone. I love her so deeply, and she still recognizes me on and off, and knows it is me when I stroke her hair. I wonder if I can live with myself, if something did happen to her, yet also know this might be the only time I will have to get help. I totally take responsibility for my addiction and could kick myself for being so selfish and making bad choices. I realize that i might be projecting too far into the future, but the reality of it, is not unrealistic or dumb. Does anyone have advice or know someone who has had the same situation or experienced this kind of heart ach

It seems to me that the majority of Christians are unable to accept that we are primates, descended from apes over millions of years. Do all Christians believe that Adam and Eve were 'real' people, and that the biblical fable about Noah and his Ark is a 'true story'? That the earth, perhaps even the universe was created only 6000 years ago?

I think the whole concept of Original Sin, being born into sin, is meaningless. What about the tens of thousands of other people who were crucified, how comes none of them died for our sins? Jesus died because politically he was a troublemaker.

I do not believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, and I believe he did not come back from the dead. If I am wrong, prove it. Becoming a Christian may help gullible drug addicts, alcoholics and criminals clean up their acts, but its just harmful to teach this stuff to children. It just creates an unneeded division in society over 'religion'.

The historical Jesus was probably a charismatic teacher and faith healer, one of many at that time period. But the whole New Testament is nothing more than religious fiction, religious poetry.

And that book of Revelation was written by a nutcase, and is clearly about ancient Rome, the beast being Nero.

Exposure to high doses of microwaves can cause damage.

Estimate how many photons, with = 11 cm, must be absorbed to raise the temperature of your eye by 2.0°C.

(Assume the mass of an eye is 11 g and its heat capacity is 4.0 J/g·K. )

Why is it that no matter where you go in the world where there are people of varying hues, preference for light skin is almost universal. All of Latin America, India, Thailand, China, Japan, Philippines, America, etc. I even remember reading that the reason Native S. Americans were so trusting of whites initially when they came to the new world is because they had legends about a white deity that would come to them some day. I know everyone says it's the media and movies, but the light skin preference is so widespread across so many cultures that I'm wondering if there could be some inborn preference. I've heard studies before that suggest this, but I'm not sure how in depth they were. I mean is there one nation on earth where dark skin people are preferred over the light ones? I can't think of any examples.

I am looking for a short story I read in the ninth grade. If I remember correctly, the Grim Reaper approaches a worker in the fields. The worker is terrifed that is he going to die. The story ends by the Grim Reaper saying he is in fact looking for the worker's boss, not the worker. I think this story was featured in a Norton Anthology reader. It would most likely be British literature.
