    im learning more about same sex marriage right now and in particular what im wondering about is Local Teen Will Argue for Same-Sex Marriage. i was researching this question online and this news item caught my attention because they are saying all this crap about getting full gay marriage but its doing nothing about it. Act and the federal government's subsequent recognition of state-sanctioned gay marriages, this is a critical step toward the objective of full marriage rights. "

  •  
    I'm learning more about global warming right now and in particular it's not all caused by humans. I was researching my question online Humans only cause a tiny part of global warming. Let's start with CO2. Activists tell us that man-caused CO2 is creating global warming. However, only 3 percent of CO2 comes from people. The rest comes from oceans, animals and Ryan Seacrest.

      I've tried it. It is tangier than regular things we would drink. It's sour and your teeth tingles when you drink it without a straw. You have to dilute it before drinking it or else the taste of the vinegar would be reallly strong.
  • Traditionally served on the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, it is sometimes heated and spiced, or mulled.

Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect (see the notes above on the role of weathering). Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and volcanism.

      The greenhouse gases are rising, not falling. all ecosystems are falling for the eventual event that might occur.

African Cultural Anthropology | Socyberty - 0 views

  • While each of the other human sciences e.g. psychology, biology etc, concentrate on one or other aspect of man, Anthropology is not limited to any particular aspect of man. Rather, it studies man in his totality as a group member.
  • In its study of man, anthropology is helped by philosophy which defines man as animale rationale (i.e. a rational animal).
  • There are therefore two principal aspects in man: the rational and the animal, the soul and the body.

2003 invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • With the election of George W. Bush as US President in 2000, the US moved towards a more aggressive policy toward Iraq. The United States Republican Party's campaign platform in the US presidential election, 2000 called for "full implementation" of the Iraq Liberation Act and removal of Hussein, and key Bush advisors, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Rumsfeld’s Deputy Paul Wolfowitz, had long desired to invade Iraq.[32] After leaving the George W. Bush administration, former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said that an attack on Iraq had been planned since Bush's inauguration, and that the first United States National Security Council meeting involved discussion of an invasion. O'Neill later backtracked, saying that these discussions were part of a continuation of foreign policy first put into place by the Clinton administration.[33

Guerrilla warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Guerrilla warfare is the irregular warfare and combat in which a small group of combatants use mobile military tactics in the form of ambushes and raids to combat a larger and less mobile formal army.
  • Guerrilla (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡeˈriʎa]) is the diminutive of the Spanish word guerra "war". It derives from the Old High German word Werra or from the middle Dutch word warre; adopted by the Visigoths in A.D. 5th century Hispania.
