In the United states, why must one be on either one side or the other?
Q. Why in American Politics, is there such polarization? You have many that believe you are either a conservative or a liberal, left or right, Homo enabler or Homophobic, hippie or hick, Satan worshiper or Jesus freak, Anti-American Terrorist supporter or Blind Anti-constitutional rights Patriot? Why has American politics devolved into just a set of black or white views? Why is there middle gray area allowed? Personally, I am Financially conservative, I hate the idea of credit and only pay in cash. I feel that if you pay taxes you deserve the exact same rights as any other person in the United States.

A. We as humans have innate needs to feel righteous and to have a sense that we as individuals have access to the truth and knowledge of all that's good and right. Those feelings are only valid if there's an opposing group that we can look down on and despise as unrighteous and ignorant, and maybe evil. So it's natural for a society to divide itself basically into 2 relatively equal-sided camps: Capitalists/communists, Catholics/Protestants, Repubs/Dems, etc.

Is global warming man-made or natural?
Q. I personally believe it is natural because Al gore or who ever discovered global warming originally, just used bad science because records only go back 100 years which doesn't give you a good perspective it also has no facts leading to humans for being the reason for global warming except industry, most can't even prove co2 is causing it because the ocean holds 95% of it not including plants and animals, around 98% of the atmosphere is oxygen and nitrogen or some kind of other gas not to sure.

A. Some ideas: MAN-Made hazards a hazard is a forceful natural or man-made event with the potential to adversely affect human life and property, or the environment. Natural hazards are a normal consequence of the internal and external forces that are constantly transforming the earth (e.g., earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, etc.). Man-made hazards arise from deliberate human actions (e.g., war, terrorism, humanitarian emergencies, etc.) that are usually predictable and preventable. They may also arise from the unforeseen or unexpected consequences of human development and technology (e.g., nuclear weapons, industrial accidents, etc.). Similar to natural hazards, man-made hazards are also defined as conditions of potential danger… [cont.]

Asked by Love - Sun Jun 22 14:47:08 2008 - Earth Sciences & Geology - 5 Answers - Comments

A. Collapsible soils-These are soils that compact and collapse after they get wet. Another term for collapsible soils is "hydrocompactive soils". Earthquakes-Most of New Mexico's historical seismicity has been concentrated in the Rio Grande Valley between Socorro and Albuquerque. Karst topography-Although New Mexico has some of the most beautiful caves formed due to having Karst topography, this can also be a hazard due to the likelihood of sinkhole formation. Rock falls-the most common type of mass wasting. Rocks, boulders, pebbles, and dirt loosened by freezing, weathering, and other forces, simply fall downward, until they hit something that stops their descent.

Q. If carbon dioxide is a heavier than air gas, how is it affecting our atmosphere? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but if we're dumping millions of tons of CO2 into the air, wouldn't people in lower altitudes be at risk since CO2 is heavier than the air in the atmosphere? O.K., wind and heat, but according to the article, after an eruption, to avoid the low lying areas because CO2 is heavier than air. I'm no scientist, but I would think that the gasses coming out of a volcano would be much hotter than the emissions coming out of internal combustion engines.

Why is an educational Tv show like The Universe politically bias?

Now you would assume that a show that is about science wouldn't have any political bias in it. but it was watching it and they were talking about man made space hazards (like people going insane, and miss calculations with satellites stuff like that) and they were only referencing problems that happened with the soviet space programs you would assume they would reference problems that happened with both NASA and the soviet space program. why would they do that, because i seriously doubt that only russia had problems like that.

Even professionals are unable to do a 100% fool-proof solution. If you wish to do this Isuggest you choose "road accidents and how citizens can help lower it", try to get some inroads into the City traffic department and with their help spread awareness.

A. well for students at my school were not supposed to do anything at all, besides to evac as planned and then go home. Maybe you're asking about high school or primary school students. College students especially community college students are supposed to evac the premises and then go home if medical aid not required. Anyway, the most vulnerable and a scary disaster in my opinion is the unexpected major earthquake. My first one was a 4.0 that really rocked my house last year. Scared the crap out of me, sounded like my house would fall in on me. The role of students during an earthquake is to practice what we learned in public school: hide under the desk away from windows until the shaking has stopped. then calmly evac toward the parking lots.

A. "The first problem in this case wa" omg cliffhanger! I got really involved in this thing. That was really good! I think you should keep the name as the "000", and maybe have people pronounce it "the Five Zeros". I also think that you should have left out the parts about the history of humans and the 000, or made Saul say it. Short stories should have more characters talking, because that way you can characterize the character and explain the history in the same paragraph. This also gives the opportunity for a biased history, which actually reveals more about the prevailing mood than a third-person-omniscient non-biased history.
