teen tv watching warning

shared by Kanika Vaish on 14 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • With TV fare like MTV’s “Teen Mom,” Lifetime’s new movie “The Pregnancy Pact” and ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” maybe we’re just feeding young girls ideas! While she does admit that these shows do not make teen pregnancy out to be much of a treat, it worries her that they depict pregnancy as “in some ways an enhancement of the teen mom’s social life.”

      Too many shows about teenage pregnancy are resulting in these lives being glamorized in real life.
  • The Guttmacher Institute report that actually revealed the increase did not show that teen pregnancies went up five minutes after Lifetime aired “The Pregnancy Pact,” rather, they went up in 2006 – the most recent year for which current statistics on teenage pregnancies, births and abortions are available.

  • the term greenhouse warming to describe the current warming of the earth.
  • "The concern is that we human beings are modifying that greenhouse effect by adding to the atmosphere gases that increase the natural abundance of these so-called gases. . . .
  • burning fossil fuel (coal and oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide
  • Over time, pressure and heat from the earth compacted the material into layers of sedimentary rock.
  • Coal is a fossil fuel
  • 1000 B . C .,
  • Industrial Revolution its use began to soar.
  • was found to be both plentiful and cheap,
  • where it was believed the pollutants would disperse without harm." 16
  • All fossil fuels release carbon whenever they are burned, but coal has a much higher carbon content than either oil or gas.
  • The other two fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, are also used to produce electricity, but not as often as coal. Oil and gas are primarily used to heat homes and factories, as well as fuel all forms of transportation from buses to ships and motorcycles to airplanes.
  • Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is naturally present in the atmosphere, but only in tiny amounts.
  • oxygen and nitrogen comprise about 99 percent of atmospheric gases
  • carbon dioxide is only a trace gas, it is essential for life.

Taliban hit back in Marja

  • “They have been involved in the area for a long time and they know how to intimidate people. They threaten them with beheadings, cutting off hands and feet, all the things they did when they were the government.”

      The Taliban warned them of violent and barbaric actions if the residents continued to cooperate with the authorities
  • Journalists have still not been allowed to visit Marja independently, however; they must be embedded with the American military
  • Marja is meant to be a template for a similar campaign aimed for spring in neighboring Kandahar Province, the Taliban’s heartland

time for a change global warming human main cause

shared by Dillon Patel on 14 Nov 10 - Cached
  • It took more than 20 years to broadly accept that mankind is causing global warming with the emission of greenhouse gases.
  • More than 80% of the world-wide energy demand is currently supplied by the fossil fuels coal, oil or gas.
  • energy demand is simply too high.

  • Why have warnings about climate change been ignored for more than 20 years?
  • The true cause of global warming is our thoughtless attitude to Nature.
  • Why were ever more scientific evidence demanded to find the coherence of man-made CO2 emissions as cause of global warming? Why wasn't common sense reason enough to act?
  • Why can one still today find people who stick their head in the sand and don't want to understand what's going on in the earth's atmosphere?
  • Why do most people refuse to change their personal behavior voluntary in order to reduce CO2 emissions caused by their activities?
  • The answer to all these questions is a rather simple one:
  • In our technology and scientific minded world, we seem to have forgotten that mankind is only a relatively minor part of Nature. We ignore being part of a larger whole.
  • It's your personal decision whether you want to be the cause of global warming
  • In this context the question is whether global warming and its effects will eventually wake up mankind and spark off a change of paradigm. Will we understand this hint of Nature to follow the true meaning of life or will we continue to let us manipulate by media and advertisement as sheer and willing consumers in the economic cycle? Will we continue to strive for power, prestige and possessions following the concept „the more the better "? Shall economic growth and an ever increasing personal income continue to be the reason for being here, beyond everything else?

    This website looks very reliable, and it mentions that humans need to realize that it's time for for a change, because global warming is becoming more visible, and scientists have said that global warmings' main cause are humans... With my argument.

  • Children who are drinking alcohol by 7th grade are more likely to suffer employment problems, abuse other drugs, and commit criminal and violent acts once they reach young adulthood, according to a RAND Health study.
  • "Early alcohol use is a signal that someone is likely to have more problems as they transition into adulthood."
  • Underage drinking is a major national problem, with estimates suggesting that by the 8th grade one-fourth of all adolescents have consumed alcohol to the point of intoxication.
