... is called faith." [Thomas Paine] Provide proof the bible is actually telling the true account of past events. Using the paradox “it’s true, because the bible tells me so!” doesn’t hold water. To create a document, then within the document itself, proclaim all that’s written within the document is true, proves nothing! Without outside evidence to substantiate the text, it’s still just text. Of course, everything written within “Convince me there is a god!” is true beyond all doubt. All words written here are fact and actually happened. Will you actually believe everything written within this document just because the document t ...

... by their actions that they feel that young people do not matter, that they can be our nation’s lowest priority” (p.177). This quote declares that young people are regarded to as the lowest priority in our nation. Lipsitz continues, “From tax cuts that ignore pressing needs and impose huge debts on the adults of tomorrow in order to subsidize the greed of today’s adult property owners, to systematic disinvestment in the schools, the environment and industrial infrastructure, the resources of the young are being cannibalized to pay for the irresponsible whims and reprehensible avarice of a small group of wealthy adults” (p.177). This quote further sup ...

... added revenue the Postal Service was still greatly under funded on its own. During this time it was discussed to privatize the postal service and introduce competition because of the extreme losses that the service was experiencing. A positive argument for privatizing the Postal Service was with numerous competitors in the market there would be more efficiency and the public would receive lower prices. But this would also increase the usage of resources, for example airplanes and cars. One of the problems the Post Office had was its receipts from consumer purchases that were submitted the next day after the transaction. If the receipts were submitted earlier the postal service would ...

... there should be more emphasis given to divorce and more solutions should be presented for the well being of our children. Although the parents are not the only ones who should feel responsible of this social failure, the parents can accomplish the most efficient assistance. The cost of divorce to children is so high that there is a lot to be explored, such as how these costs might be minimized and what can be done to heal the scars. That's why beside the parents, everyone should be held responsible to "maintain the childcare system while dissolving the marital system" (Furstenberg and Cherlin 28). "The child has no say in drawing up the contract by which he or she comes into the world. S ...

... you if you would like to be an organ donor. Say yes, and they will mark a small box on your license saying that you are an organ donor. Families of donors must give their permission before donation can happen. They can stop a donation no matter what you have said or signed. A new name is added to the National Donor Register every 30 minutes. Already 20% of the people who die yearly become an organ donor, but 50,000 Americans are awaiting a transplant, and 12,000 to 15,000 people who die yearly are medically suitable for an organ donation. There are a lot of myths about organ donation. Example: If you are in a car accident and are still alive, people will forget to treat y ...

... highlighted the fact that the Sioux people were not savage killers, but simply fighters for peace. The reason that this tactic did not work on the whites was because the white man’s ethic of fighting was no where near the ethics of the Sioux. White man believed that they had a given right to annihilate anyone they wanted. This is why the tactics of the Sioux people were not successful when it came to fighting off the whites of the time. Sitting Bull, was in essence and renaissance man of personality. He was equally friendly, fierce, spiritual and family oriented. However, he also had many strict principals when it came to the rights of his people. This is the quality that differ ...

"Chicago Approach-United 4261-roger leaving 4,000 for 2,500-cleared for the ILS 14R-maintaining 2,500 until established-will report 15 miles out." The pilot yet again, descends to the assigned altitude. Uneasy due to the heavy turbulence and the increased frequency of the hail, the pilot activates the anti-icing equipment to ensure the aircraft is free of ice. One minute after the pilot activates the anti-icing equipment, two aural warnings commence, and engine fire lights for one and three light up. "Jesus, one and three are on fire, and we are loosing altitude," exclaims the First Officer. "Apply full throttles, and pull ...

... (71) Proponents of medical marijuana swear by its ability to ease the suffering of chemotherapy patients, however there is no research to back these staunch claims. To be sure, there is a large body of research regarding cannabinoids, the chemicals found in plants of the same type as marijuana- the cannabis family, but the overwhelming majority of those studies use the already USDA approved dronabinol, a synthetic pill version of marijuana's main psychoactive ingredient, THC (NIH np). The pill, claim legalization supporters, does not work to relieve nausea (Lacayo np). There is, in fact, only one study that has compared smoked marijuana and synthetic THC pills. Of the 20 patients studied, ...

... Dr. Prichard, argued that the University was a place that all learning avenues should be ex-plored. Within the framework of the University students would learn to discern right from wrong under the guidance of the University faculty. I agree with President Prichard be-cause freedom of speech is one of our basic rights in Canada and it should be protected at all costs. Once something creates a lot of controversy or is deemed inappropriate it is a per-fect occasion to have a discussion. People who harbor certain ideas that can be construed as offensive can listen to others speak their mind on the subject of why they found something abhorrent. Promoting discussion allows people to open thei ...
