battery use. Some models m .....

The Latvian-Russian Relations
.... and many will never recover.
Even though described as perfect form of government, communism has caused
mare pain to so many absolutely innocent people than anything else.
(Britanica) I was also in Latvia 8 years ago when Latvia along with two
other Baltic States, Estonia and Lithuania, regained their independence and
became free countries once again. The time goes by really fast, but even
though Latvia has a democratic form of government, now all of the post-
communism countries face more problems than .....

Reality
.... The facts are never solid. after all, we know that hallucination is
possible, but not always when.
Then there is the subject of hallucinogens. Lsd, psylocibin(the
chemical in mushrooms), etc. are known to cause hallucinations. but again,
i ask, how can we know for sure. i believe that question is a rhetorical
one, the obvious answer is that we dont know. it could be that these drugs
are a doorway into, not out of, reality.
These thoughts are not pleasant ones, at least as far as im

Egalitarian Language
.... way to mold our language towards an egalitarian
society would be to outlaw certain words and phrases. This law would be
virtually impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people,
not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to
enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of
every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal
word was said and issue a ticket of some form, as in the movie Demolition
Man. Ironically, if this was .....

Professional Sports: The Hidden Greed
.... are often the only way to work out problems. The opposition reasons
that professional teams with huge payrolls deserve all the money because
they worked hard to get where they are. They argue that most players work
hard to become great athletes and therefore they deserve enormous salaries.
They also plead that lockouts are healthy for professional sports because
they help each sport continually evolve and adapt to new problems it faces.
While the opposition does not notice the greed proble .....

The Running Of The Bulls

entreat his protection just before the bulls are let loose from the pen.
"Of San Fermin we ask, as our protector, to bless us and safely guide us in
this run."
Before the race begins, chaos is formed. People are up and about
as early as 6:30, trying to find that perfect seat for the viewing of the
bull run. The race starts at exactly 8:00 am every morning during the
annual festivals that are celebrated from the 7th - 14th of July. All of
the spectators must stay behin .....

Halloween
.... promised to say for the dead relatives of the donors.
` The practice of trick-or-treating began when people who were
"souling" began to dress like the dead souls, performing antics in exchange
for food and drink. This practice became known as "mumming". So to this
day, witches, ghosts and skeleton figures of the dead are among the
favorite costumes for Halloween.
The practice of carving pumpkins probably comes from Irish folklore.
A man named Jack, a notorious drunkard and trickster, had a tric .....

El Dia De Muerto
.... with death. Although the celebrations do
include a mourning ritual called "El Duelo" which means the weeping, the
atmosphere is one of happiness. The tradition is observed by both rural
and urban areas, but there is a slight difference. The rural and poor
classes have very elaborate altars and offerings while the urban middle to
upper class might have a simple offering or mocking attitude toward the
tradition. Some simple offering may include a flower arrangement of
"cempazuchitl", the Nabfuafi langua .....

Scandinavian Mythology
.... to drip and by the might that sent the heat, life appeared in the
drops of the running fluid and this fluid formed into the likeness of a man.
He was given the name Ymir. As the frost continued to thaw another form was
created. This form became a cow called Audhumbla. From her teats flowed
four rivers of milk and it was upon this that Ymir was
fed. While he fed, Ymir slept, and while he slept a male and female frost
giant grew from his armpits and one leg fathered a six headed troll with
the other leg. .....

On The Jews And Their Lies

basis of our faith.
This is my reply to you and to him. It is not my purpose to quarrel
with the Jews, nor to learn from them how they interpret or understand
Scripture; I know all of that very well already. Much less do I propose to
convert the Jews, for that is impossible. Those two excellent men, Lyra and
Burgensis, together with others, truthfully described the Jews' vile
interpretation for us two hundred and one hundred ye .....

Freud And Dreams
.... assertion that dreaming is the
activity of the mind during sleep (Fine, 1973). It was perhaps the use of
the term activity that Freud most appreciated in this brief definition for,
as his understanding of the dynamics of dreaming increased, so did the
impression of ceaseless mental activity differing in quality from that of
ordinary waking life (Fine, 1973). In fact, the quality of mental activity
during sleep differed so radically from what we take to be the essence of
mental functioning that Freu .....

The Code Of Hammurabi
.... actual concept of “human rights,” as we
have come to understand them, is an understanding that has evolved with
legal positivism, along with man's ability to distinguish between the
spheres of the secular and vernacular. To prove these points, I also
intend to explore Hammurabi's codification of natural law, and Socrates'
interpretation of the state of legal positivism in ancient Greece.
Although misguided, the ancient Egyptians systemically subscribed
their lives to divine authority and law. This is .....

Canadians, And Why They Should Be Banned From America
.... Canadians also
have a very high immigration rate to the U.S., this is attributed to the
fact that the people are unhappy living with each other thus causing
hatreds and enemies within the country thus destroying the very idea of
unity within the Canadian borders.
Canadians also have a huge problem with falling in line with other
countries. They resent international harmony and that is why they must
