Nov 07, 2009 USA to launch ICBM Minutman III on Nov 18 from Vandenberg Air Force Base to the Marshall Islands

This seems hypocritical after the criticism of North Korea's short range liquid fuel missiles. Minuteman III is a hair trigger alert high speed, solid fuel, computer/satellite guided desiged to carry weapons for large civilian areas. The test missile will carry dummy warheads, but it is a missile test for nuclear delivery systems. This violates the good faith disarmament component of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

Who do you first approach when you are down? Your friends? Is it really impossible to live without them? Is it necessary to make friends in the first place?Firstly, friends can help you develop character. With their company, they are able to influence you to become similar like them. For example, a teenager hangs around with good friends that are interested in studying. When the teenager is having problems in studies, his friends are able to help with places he is in doubt. Friends are also able to give advice on how to study effectively and efficiently to spend enough time on studies and friends. Secondly, friends motivate you to achieve your goals and succeed in life. Friends will push you to meet your goals and plans. When you are not sure whether you are going the correct path or consider giving up, friends will be there for you and encourage you to strive in what you believe. Thirdly, friends are important as you share your joy and sadness with them. When you face a problem, they are there for you would support you all the way. Think of a situation when you are helpless and find your friend to help you. You need some company and a listening ear. If no friends come to your mind, wouldn?t you feel that facing the world alone? By then, silly solutions would come into mind. Lastly, by making more friends, you are able to expand your contact list and this will help in the future when one is working. You may not know when these friends help you in your work. However, there are times when friends are not necessary to live a good life. Friends may not always be true friends.

Sometimes we may feel that everybody around us is in a relationship. This can be tough particularly if you feel like there is pressure for you to be in a relationship. It may help to know that it is a great time to get to know yourself - which makes future relationships even better! Everybody is different and this is reflected in what we want out of life. There are lots of good reasons why you may not want a relationship or feel as though you are not ready to have a relationship with a partner right now. It's definitely OK to be single and there's nothing wrong with you! There are also many good things about being single. Some of these may be: Your decisions only affect you and do not involve a partner's wants or needs. You can concentrate on doing things you enjoy. You can spend time with your friends and meet new people to have good times with. It gives you time to reflect on your choices. If friends are hassling you because you are single it may be worth remembering the great things about being single and letting them know that being single is Ok. Spend time with other single people. It may be a good time to try joining a sporting team to meet some new people. You can also take time out to concentrate on doing things you enjoy.

The world is just going down the tubes. We can't cure hunger but, we can sure kill people!

Wow, what else is new. We can create weapons of mass destruction but, can't cure hunger. Can you imagine the money spent on trying to kill rather than feed people! It's amazing.
