How come we're so complicated and we can't fly without the help of machine?

Japan still to this day shows such arrogance for the truly horrific atrocities they committed - eg Rape of Nanking. They never apologised or paid compensation to the victims. And, of course, don't teach their children about their past in school. The prime minsters also still visit visit the graves of war criminals.

People say that we were bad for dropping two A bombs on them. But no one complained at the time when Japan was even more hated than Germany.

An Australian girl said I should let it go and I replied she should be ashamed because it was mainly Aussie POWs they tortured and murdered.

IN SUMMARY, I HATE JAPAN FOR WHAT THEY DID IN WW 2 AND I'M GLAD WE DROPPED TWO A BOMBS ON THEM.

After France surrendered in 1940, what happened to the French army? I'm guessing that it would have been disbanded and sent home (Like the Iraqi army nowadays). There would have been too much of the population to keep in a POW camp. But for such a large group of soldiers to get on with their lives and live peacefully under humiliating occupation for 4 years seems hard to believe. Where did they go? I can't find any info on the internet.

Too many coincedences on that day...
1)First steel structure to collapse of Fuel fire
~1510ºC (2750ºF) - melting point of typical structural steel
~825ºC (1517ºF) - maximum temperature of hydrocarbon fires burning in the atmosphere without pressurization or pre-heating (premixed fuel and air - blue flame)

It was ALSO an extra strong building to withstand natural disasters.
2) Traces of sulfate found on site. Sulfate is used for Demolitions because it can cut through metal
3) Coincedentally collapsed like demolition too.
4) WTC 3 collapsed too! No plane hit that. HMM...
5)Did you know that any unknown plane in Pentagon airspace recieves a warning, via radio & if they dont comply they get shot down by f-16s in a matter of minutes. That plane was in the air for a WHILE! made a HUGE 360 turn before crashing.

6) It wasnt even a plane, theres no proof..No engine, no wing shape damage in building.
I could go on and on.
Go with THE Facts..Do research on Internet, ask experts

first off, i think this is one of my fav books. i read it in a few hours and it was exciting but slow at points. i have to do a summer reading project and since i just moved, i only hav a few days to do it!!! I have to select famous actors to play characters in the story (mitty, derek, olivia). then i hav to write a summary on each including the character's
position, rank or job,
physical appearance and habits,
what others think of the character,
their personality and mannerisms,
and why i chose the actor to play the part

for mitty that's not hard. but derek's character isn't well described in the book and i need some help because it was in high demand so i read it a while ago and don't have access to it right now. thank you so much guys i appreciate it.

I have always had an affinity for the written word. I think poetry is simply beautiful. It's a way to express your inner most feelings in an artistic form. If you don't write poetry just enjoy it you can post your favorite poem and who wrote it. Thanks!!

What this person sais, what this person does, how this person makes you feel or something else.

What gives you prove that somebody loves you?

I am just curious what your thoughts are about that.

why is auto focus system important?

i'm a beginner and i wanted to buy a D40x but they say that it does not have an auto focus... so i might as well pick a D50/D80 instead.. (but my budget will probably can only afford a /D40D40x/D50)

my confusion is that D50 have only 6.1 megapixel while D40x got 10.2

which one should i consider the most to create better pictures? the pixels or the auto focus?

another thing, if i would get a D40x, would the auto focus absence of it will be solved by buying a AF-S lens? or at least give the same amount of quality with a DSLR with auto focus?

which cam is more wiser to buy? (D40x or D50)



hope you can help me. thank you.

You and me different i can yet if we both hurt
we bleed just the same we call for our mums in tears of pain

so what ddi you think out of ten im only 12 remember

Was it merely a show of support for Mussolini or he wasn't able to do so due to Barbarrosa build up. He could have use Rommel at easter front instead?

By this time She had already had parts of Poland, France, Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia etc under its control. Why didn't it consolidate its gains but instead attack Britain and USSR?

Wouldn't it be better it had waited for the next 3 years to strengthened its arm and troops instead. Why the rush?
