Education & Reference - 23 August 2006

what is your opinion? Should it even be taught? It's not always a matter of if gay marriage is right or wrong, but what's the point in the first place??
The people who go to school in South and North America..either go to a religiouse private school, a private school, or a public school. Therefore the students who go to public schools are not all religiouse. So just because public schools are not religiouse (and that gay marriage is not taught in private schools) why should students learn about gay marriage?..just to be different from private schools..or to show that it exists? And what will we learn from this lesson? It seems like the public school board (or whoever "voted" for students to learn about gay marriage) are forcing students to learn about gay marriage. If "they" see that gay marriage is a normal marriage like a marriage between a man a women...then why should it be taught? I mean I didn't learn about "marriage between a man and a woman" in school.

1) New York City has 11 letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.



4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:




1) New York is the 11th state.



2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number

11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11



4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.

6+5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.

9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:



1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.

Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers

incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:



The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic



holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."



That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.



Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:


Open Microsoft Word and do the following(TRY THIS FOR REAL)



1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.



2. Highlight the Q33 N



3. Change the font size to 48.



4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1



scary huh??

The high school I go to now does not offer science-lab credits. And for most colleges you need them. However I do live by a community college and I would be able to take science classes there and get science lab credits. Would colleges accept those as the needed credits to get in?

Changing high schools is not an option.
