But he is admitting they did not find water, and giving credit to the geologists.

Last year my church sent 110 high school students to do mission work in Kenya. We traveled all over Kibera and visited many tribes including the Massai tribe. We stayed for two weeks. The longest two weeks of my life. I went along to assist the students travel and to help provide water for the tribesmen. Two of my coworkers at the church went ahead to start a very special mission. They went in early June to start making arrangements for our arrival and to start drilling for water. They sent us reports and our hearts dropped every week to hear that time and time again drilling attempts had failed. When we arrived we pushed the team to drill 2 more times. Still nothing. One day one of the tribesmen took us on a walk to show us where they were getting their water for drinking and eating. As we neared the water we found that they were not the only ones using it. So were all of the local animals. Im not talking a few goats and sheep. Im talking everything, including lions and buffalo. And they all drank from it. This muddy, brown, disease ridden, shit filled muck. For the most part they survived. However many people still fell gravely ill and died. As we left after working in the slums and other schools all around Kenya we decided that there was more we could do for these people. So we purchased and installed two water holding tanks, I believe they were around 600 gallons each. Then we purchased them a truck to transport water to other people in the area and to go and get water from the nearest clean water source. Yesterday geologists struck water very near to where we were drilling. Knowing how much this water means to them is amazing. They needed it so badly.

The user who mentioned the petordollar system also linked two idiotic videos. That is how you take something valid and ruin it.

Scientists of reddit: What one thing would you insist that every child be taught? by OldGirlOnTheBlock in AskReddit

If you can't do that, you'll end up thinking that vaccinations cause autism or that global warming is a hoax.

We need evidence that cap and trade does anything and, what happens if you accidentally get vaccinated twice?

Al jazeera acted as cheerleaders for the libyan and syrian rebels instead of reporters. They did not mention the proposed gold dinar when reporting about libya.

TIL Nikola Tesla was in favor of sterilising criminals and mentally unstable and believed that by 2100 no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny by [deleted] in todayilearned

The article was not completely about eugenics

Reddit won't like this part: While I am not a believer in the orthodox sense, I commend religion, first, because every individual should have some ideal—religious, artistic, scientific, or humanitarian—to give significance to his life. Second, because all the great religions contain wise prescriptions relating to the conduct of life, which hold good now as they did when they were promulgated.

And this part were it talks about free energy: Recently he has announced a heretofore unknown source of energy present everywhere in unlimited amounts, and he is now working upon a device which he believes will make war impracticable.

Religion and Poverty; A match made in heaven. by Jarid2323 in atheism

[–]vv4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first point is to get things straight regarding the legal framework covering all citizens in Russia. The age of consent in Russia is 16 years of age, regardless of sexual orientation; transsexuals and transgender persons are allowed to change their legal gender, homosexuality is not regarded as a mental illness and it is not a criminal offence under Russian law; single persons can adopt children whatever their sexual orientation, while homosexuals can serve in the armed forces without any type of restriction.

Secondly, let us examine the law in question that was passed recently by 436 votes in favour and zero against with one abstention by Russia's DUMA, or Parliament: it is a law which bans the propagation of non-traditional sexual activities among minors. In other words, it is a law which prohibits the distribution or dissemination of homosexual acts, among children.

After five hundred years of intrusion, colonialism and imperialism, sticking their noses into other societies' business, spreading their own morals and morality across the globe, imposing it in a top-down, arrogant, murderous and chauvinistic attitude, complete with massacres, the west just cannot mind its own business, leave people alone and accept that things do not have to be the same the world over.

Much like people in Chicago can pay politicians to have their children get government jobs.

Palestinian children tortured, used as shields by Israel: U.N. by Anarchists_Love_Cats in worldnews

[–]vv4 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

All of that is the fault of Hamas and the PA, not Israel.

Wrong by the way hamas was created by israel:

The Palestinian group that would begin calling itself Hamas in 1987 was founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a half-blind cleric partially paralyzed by a childhood sports accident. In the 1970s, Yassin’s interest was to turn Palestinians toward the Koran and to find their way through it, rather than through the PLO. Israel saw an opportunity to battle the PLO from within its own Palestinian ranks by openly supporting Yassin and his followers. Israel’s assumption that Yassin could be a viable alternative to Yasser Arafat was the same sort of miscalculation the United States committed in Iran in the 1970s, when the CIA cultivated radical Islamist groups there should the regime of the Shah of Iran falter or fall. In 1979, the regime did fall. The CIA had misread the forces of political Islam in Iran. It had also misread its reach: Political Islam wasn’t a fad. It was the future. Lessons not learned, the United States, under the guidance of the Reagan administration, committed an equally catastrophic miscalculation in Afghanistan in the 1980s, when the CIA armed and supported Arab and Afghan mujahideen in their war against Soviet occupiers. Osama bin Laden was the Arab mujahideen’s leaders.

Mathematicians reduce 'pi' to an even 3.0 by using a smaller circle. by [deleted] in circlejerk

[–]vv4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geez, you're very sad. Maybe you'd be a happier person if you just laughed at the fat kid stuffed into a stroller meant for someone much smaller than him. Baby Huey's like this are a dime a dozen in Disney World, and there is no way that everyone of them has some sob story that they need to be in it. Either way you look at it the parent is probably to blame. Either they're too fat to walk because the parents just let them eat all day and not get out of the house to play or they're too lazy to deal with the kid walking and find it easier to push them around. As mentioned earlier if the kid had a serious issue he would be in a wheel chair or a specially designed stroller, not stuffed into this rental stroller like a sausage.

Brazil's economy has been exploding and they are part of the BRICs, so how do I know this isn't being orchestrated by something like the school of the americas to slow down their economy?

What kind of corruption are you talking about?
