.... you were watching the news, would you really want to hear about all of the charities that an athlete has donated money to? It would be interesting at first, but you would get tired of it afterwards. That is why the media never covers anything like this. We all know that they really don't care about anything else except for a hot topic. The truth really does not mean anything to them. This we notice in all the cases that the media jumps to wrongful conclusions, such as the Richard Jewel case and the Olympic bombing and the TWA flight 800 that blew up over Ne .....

.... The objective of the O-rings is to act as a seal that is meant to prevent gases from escaping through the Solid Rocket Booster. One of the main reasons for the explosion was that O-ring "flexed" and let the gases escape, which in less than seconds later, caught fire and created the explosion. Among the other minor problems were those of electrical problems and faulty gages which were just "overlooked" because the problems were only minor and they posed no real threat to the safety of the mission or the crew of seven(7). 11:39:17am, Tuesday, Janu .....

.... of the nation and its interests should be ready at all times. But due to drug abuse the performance of military personal can be seriously reduced. An air crash in 1985 on the aircraft carrier Nimitz killed 14 crewmen and autopsies revealed that 11 of them were on drugs. "(The U.S.) spends billions of dollars on military defense, and our military may be crippled by this drug problem."T Drugs cost a lot and the need for them is ever increasing. A drug habit can quickly drain a worker's pay check while he still needs more drugs. An employee will embezzle to rai .....

.... Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be .....

.... is more isolated by physical geography, i.e. mountain ranges, rivers. Linguists have done extensive studies on regional dialects, producing detailed Linguistic Atlases. Many linguists can tell where a person is from just by knowing whether a person carries groceries home from the supermarket in a paper bag or from the grocery store in a paper sack (Yule 184). And the person who comes home from the supermarket with a paper sack serves to remind us that language variation is not a discrete, but rather a continuous variable. Characteristics of the dialect are mo .....

.... that it was started nearly two decades ago in the 1980-1983 era by the hardcore-punk band called Minor Threat.  The song "Straight-Edge" written by Ian MacKaye, the band's singer, not only coined the phrase, but it encompassed all of the philosophies that a straight-edge person believes in.  There have been theories that an earlier punk band, called the Teen Idols (which included Ian MacKaye and the drummer from Minor Threat*), started the ideology of straight-edge, but the term was not used until MacKaye wrote and published the song.  Minor Threat have since d .....

.... in different ways, it is difficult for somebody to say what is good or bad, and in the same time to have his opinion shared by everyone. Trying to classify, we might come up with a result that might be true or not, depending on the point of view. In other words everything is relative. Paradoxically, when we start thinking we, we discover that we actually know almost nothing, or that there are many things left, to be known. On the other hand, the more we know, the more we want to know. This desire of knowing more and more might be expressed through que .....

.... in the same classes. This proves that different races can co-exist in an environment with out one group feeling out of place or inferior. Let the Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and Asian children continue to learn and play together and racism will have no place in society. Some argue that racism will not end, yet look at the deterioration over the past 200 years. With time America's decline of racism will continue. Jim Crow Laws prevented blacks from exercising their right to vote in the late 1800's. In 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., MLK, won th .....
