(1)Absolutely ringed by undrinkable water, it has no operable or serviceable port for any ship of size. In addition, it has no airport, and yet it does have its share of arrivals, though it can be a rather difficult process.
(2)Bad weather can be a perplexing problem here, as heavy winds and fast rising water could literally erase it from the map.

I always thought that Filipinos (from Philippines) were Hispanic by appearance. Some said they are referred asian only because of location. What are your thoughts?

For those who answer, are you Filipino by blood? or not? are you half-breed? from where are you?

P.S.

I am an American living in the Philippines.

I just read an article where Stephen Hawking said "The survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe because there's an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy the Earth." Do you think this is possible and if so, how long do you think it will be until we can have colonies set up on other planets that will be able to survive without the aid from Earth?

Link to article if you're interested:

I just read an article that said doctors cannot be asked to participate in executions of death row inmates because the Hippocratic oath states they must "first do no harm." Is this true?

If so, let me get this straight. They can perform abortions all the way up until all but the baby's head has been delivered. The baby's only crime was being unwanted.

They can pull the plug on a woman who made no clear request to be removed from life support prior to being incapacitated. The woman's only crime was becoming incapacitated.

They can destroy human lives in the form of embryos for the wing-and-a-prayer hope that it might someday cure something. The embryo's only crime was being created in a lab.

But they can't help execute convicted rapist, murderer, etc. even after he or she has exhausted 10 years worth of appeals because they must "first do no harm?" What's wrong with this picture?

Suppose there is a long hole in the earth which opens up at the other end. if we drop an object from one side, it will keep falling, when it reaches the other side, again gravity will work and it will fall on the other side again. So it will keep falling. Is this right or will something else happen?
