... to also have body piercing. The exact opposite also holds true for those who would be rejected from a group because of the piercing. Last, and most importantly body piercing may affect your job.

... the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations soon to be in control of two very similar governments. In any rise of power, there needs to be a period of careful planning requiring much thought. These two men had very little history with which to work with which to model their revolutions. Times had been changing rapidly, technological improvements in the fields of manufacturing, transportation, and communication made this period of time very different from any other. Hitler spent his time imprison writing his book, Mein Kampf, filling it full of warped ideas of conquest and superiority of one race over another. I ...
... most intractable problem for the U.S. One of Tocqueville's observations about the United States is that he thought there is no country in the civilized world that is less attention paid philosophy than the United States. This is applicable to American life in 1997 because the whole world is practically joined to the United States. Just about every country in the world trades with, tours in, and watches for the United States. What I mean by watches is that they practically always know what's going on (except for the top-secret things) in the United States, whether it be by television, computers, or satellites they know what the U.S. is doing. The U.S. is basically a "free-for-all" ...
... to behave more violently than their parents did as children. 2. Today's television has more violent shows, both in abundance and degree. There appears to be a simple causation there. It may be just a corelation. American television networks operate on the supply and demand curve just like any other industry. There has to exist a demand for violent programming first. The demand for violent programming leads to the broadcasting of such programs, but do violent shows lead to violent behaviour? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Some see the violence in the schools as a response to negative social forces. The classic alienation of adolescents who possess certain arbitrarily negative ch ...
... use of micro organisms or toxins that attack a person or animals body at the cellular level. This is also called germ warfare. These micro organisms can cause vomiting, convulsions, headaches, involuntary defecation, impair visibility and can also be lethal. Biological Engineering allows scientist to create new virus strains that are even more deadlier and efficient. Only a small number of these organisms could kill millions of people in a few seconds, if it is properly distributed. Biological weapons have many effective possibilities. They can cause soldiers to become sick and unable to fight. Biological weapons can also infect an enemy's crops or water supply and damage them ...

... the chances of the generally poor, non-English speaking children ever having a equal share in the promise of American life.” By simply having everyone learn a second language eliminates the lines of income, and ethnic background. Truly would also eliminate the psychological effects it has on non-English speaking children. When they are in a classroom filled with people who do not speak the same language they do, they are forced to feel alone because they can not perform at the same level as their peers, they feel there is something wrong with them, lower than everyone else. “’Empowering Minority Students’ does not argue that a child’s inability to speak English is what leads him to fail ...
... for office. The Framers, assumed, incorrectly of course, that the selection process would be a reasonable one that would transcend partisanship. The original provision for balloting by the Electoral College was flawed and had to be superseded by the 12th Amendment, which stated "Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and vice-president. Modern Presidential campaigns vast and complex operations costing many millions of dollars. Their expense contrasts sharply with the convictions expressed in 1828 by John Qunicy Adams " to pay money for securing [the presidency of the United States] is incorrect in principle." The apparent existence of running ...
... no law respecting an establishment of religion." In response to the Engel v.Vitale case some schools adopted a "moment of silence." In 1963, another case was brought before the court dealing with school prayer, Abington School District v. Schempp. The Schempp family challenged a law in Pennsylvania requiring the students to say ten verses of the Bible before school. These readings from the Bible were declared unconstitutional. Members of the board felt reading the Bible would give the children more moral values. The Schempp family strongly disagreed. Members of Congress attempted to find a compromise. From this effort came the adoption of the moment of silence, which is guaranteed by the ...
