First of all: This is a preface. It's nearly 2:00 in the morning, I am quite emotional right now, I know this has... well it actually has quite a bit to do with debate, as it concerns the dibattito about gay marriage, and this is sort of a rant, so I don't know how eloquent it will be o how many run-on sentences it will have (reading back, I see I haven't gotten to a good start as far as run-on sentences go) but orso with me. Please. Even and especially if te disagree, even and especially if te voted for omaggio 8 because after talking and Leggere some discouraging blog posts and commenti da people...

Recently in Australia, it has come to light that a mining magnate- Gina Rinehart, also the richest person in Australia- it buying shares in the media company Fairfax. First, let me enlighten you- Fairfax is the publisher of the few media outlets that aren't owned da Rupert Murdoch. In plain terms- Fairfax newspapers are, well, fair. They are balanced. They are impartial.

The Murdoch press, on the other other hand, has a più "tell them what we want" philosophy, rather than a "tell it as it is". It controls much of the media over here.

And onto Gina Rinehart- she was- to be blunt- raised on...

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:

In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recente years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not...

I've been working on an articolo for a long time, formerly entitled: "The State of Our Nation's Education: Myths and Facts." Now, this articolo may come about soon enough, and that will be MUCH più of a factual, logical argument, using sources and statistics and data to debunk the lies. But this needed to be said, because I am both emotionally and physically exhausted.

Now, some of te might ask me why I'm exhausted. Most, out of a genuine curiosity, but some because te know I'm a Masters Student, working at a local elementary school. And te think, "Cinders, you're just training to be a teacher....

A conservative friend of mine had a very apropos status update on Facebook this weekend: "People from the left and the right adore Jon Stewart because he says the things we think, no matter who's listening." And inspired da his rationality, as well as Jon Stewart, I decided to hold my own "rally" to remind people that just because you're the loudest, doesn't mean you're the majority.

I hear a lot of crazy accusations about Obama that are both unfounded and unfair, and it undermines the legitimate arguments people make against him. In this sensationalized world of celebrity tabloids and YouTube,...

What can we do? In the past when there has been something we haven’t agreed with, we’ve rebelled against, early bedtimes for example. No, I’m talking about the big wide world and how we as young people must do something to stop it from falling into complete chaos. We cannot vote so what else can we do? If the Edelweiss Pirates can cause so much fuss about Nazism and if Guy Môquet can cause a stir in occupied France then we can too. We must react to mostra our governments that we are not just binge-drinking, hoodies who carry knives and pistole for protection because we are all in gangs who...

Hello there.

Here lately there has been a lot of trouble in The Middle East. The people there are angry with Europa and America, but why exactly? Are we cold blooded and don't we care about the values in The Middle East? Some of us might don't, but do the people in The Middle East forget that it's only a few out of thousand billions? Is the only thing the muslims in The Middle East think about is the bad persons here, and is that because that's all they care about? I don't think so.

I think we misunderstand each other all the time. We only see the bad things in each other, but where shall this...

I found myself watching CBN, (Christian Broadcasting Network) because... Well, I just was. And at first, I wrinkled my nose at it, but the remote was too far away, so I watched it.

Surprisingly, I was impressed, specifically da the autore of "UnChristian."

I've always tried to differentiate between the true Christian and the "true Christian," o rather, those who follow Christ's teachings, and those who claim to follow Christ's teachings. But this guy, this author, says he interviewed my generation and found that most of them-- Christian and non-Christian alike-- had six major negative ideas...

I think I'm tired of statistics telling me that everything under the sun including the sun causes cancer. te can't even turn on the Televisione anymore without a commercial asking if te have these symptoms and prescribing te this specific brand of medication to deal with it!

Facts state that nearly everything te do is unhealthy. Hell, even typing at the computer too long can cause carpel tunnel and bad posture!

I've been watching the fanpop debates with interest, and participating in them. And it seems that the argument "it's unhealthy" o "it's dangerous" comes up often enough. And I'm not...

I was hanging out in the drama lounge of Hutchinson Hall over at the UW one day, waiting for my class, when a classmate, and drama/chid double major (CHID stands for Comparative History of Ideas) came storming into the room and threw down her bag.

I detto to her, "What's wrong?"

She replied, "I cannot believe that they have actually declared this week link"

I frowned, curious, having never heard of this before, but my jaw slowly dropped as she explained what was going on around campus.

"The Muslim Students Organization have had link! Ann Coulter is actually going to come to our campus to give a...

I wrote this in response to two articoli written in my school newspaper... That is what I'm referencing, but it also argues for a reconciliation between faith and science.


WAR: Will there ever be peace between Science and Religion?

A Theological Paper da Carly aka Cinders



Ever since man looked up to the heavens and asked those profound domande “Why? How?” science and religion have disagreed with each other. But should they? Is there a way to reconcile scientific theories with religion?

Upon Leggere the articoli da Thomas Baxter and Robert Comer in the spring 2006 edition of CAC’s The Eagle,...
