Is it just a coincidence that the earth began to signifigantly warm just as the industrial revolution began??

Even Bush put the polar bear on the endangered species list due to the melting ice.

The earth is in temperature cycles that last thousands of years. We are nowhere near the end of our current climate stage, yet republicans claim that this is natural. This is the first time in history that the temperature cycle has changed. It should be a few thosand more years until the earth starts warming. Global warming is not natural!!

Fun Fact -

Number of wildlife preserves clinton opened - 203
Number of wildlife preserves opened by bush - 2

If jewish is not a race or nationality but a religion then does that mean anybody can be a jew, even Hitler? In that case, why didn't people who got executed during the holocaust identify themselves and non-jews to save themselves?

I am interested in such a future after I graduate from college, but to give myself a feel for it before hand, I'm interested in exposing myself to it. How can I best do this? I've considered meeting with my mayor and asking her if I could be an assistant of hers (I guess kind of like an informal intern). If not her, then perhaps a council member. Either way, I want to get exposed. How would you recommend I do this and what is your advice? Thank you.

Music, movies, documentaries, you name it. I am not saying that the liberal agenda is not one completely without merit. I don't happen to believe that. But their politics are deceptive, manipulative, pervasive, incessant, and reminiscent to me of the same tactics employed under the Third Reich. I wouldn't be surprised if babies and puppies don't soon grace theatre screens and airwaves with an anti-war, anti-GOP message. The party has long since lost my vote, and it has only to do with politics: Theirs.

I know tobacco is a dangerous product and kills many people and so forth. But the people who smoke should they or their family have the right to sue the tobacco company for to compensatory and punitive damages. If you smoke which is an individual choice and catch cancer and die or worse, why should your family be compensated millions of dollars. I understand the aggressive marketing to people but it’s your choice to smoke. I pose this question b/c I have business ethics and learning about different theorist like Locke, Hayek, Smith, Marx, Friedman and so forth. People who smoke is it the tobacco companies fault with false and misleading advertisement that caused them to begin smoking or is it still a personal choice. Like those two fat girls that tried to sue McDonalds b/c eating MD made them fat. Should MD pay their families in damages b/c it’s was their personal choice. Same way with tobacco I don't want to sound like a republican or a corporate lobbyist but and insight on this question would be helpful. Thx

My dad used to rent a house out to his friend, his's friend's girlfriend, and children. His friend was sent to jail a while back and my dad agreed to let the girl stay there as long as she paid the rent. She stopped paying the rent in October. My dad sent her some papers giving her a warning. She still didn't pay. Then he sent her a 30 day eviction notice. She didn't pay or leave! So my dad got a lawyer to get her out because they've been having a lot of issues with unlawful evictions and stuff on the news or whatever....but newhos. The lawyer said that the girl's stuff could be removed from the house and the locks could be changed. My dad hired a locksmith. The guy felt bad for the girl and didn't change the locks. She just had a baby the beginning of the month. She has been taking her children to live in the house for weeks now. There is no electricity or anything. She has those children freezing in that house.I know there has to be a way to get her kids taken.
