In the United States, we've always had an endless flow of clean, safe water. We've never had to drink from polluted rivers or wonder where the water is going to come from. We've become not only spoiled with our H2O riches, but also complacent. After all, water resources are replenished every time it rains, so the supply will never run out...
Do you think the Media is biased? I sometimes do, but I have noted something else about the media that is perhaps more troubling: the media often gets facts wrong. Usually these are small and insignificant things that (usually) have little effect on the story. But do you really know? Here is a simple test...
Men and women in the West wear tattoos now, but it appears to me that they wear them differently. If a man has a tattoo it is there for the world to see on his arm, sometimes on his leg. However, women tend to conceal their tattoos about their bodies so that they may be revealed when they would like to show them...
The Celts are an ancient people, who almost certainly originated in India tens of thousands of years ago. After getting to Italy, they made their way north-east through France to the United Kingdom. The Gauls were dominant in France by the time the Romans got there just more than two thousand years ago, but the Celts were rock-solid in the UK...
We can all be proud that we live in a country that is the business of helping people around the world. One of the ways in which we help is by providing clean water for countries that have none. Yes, we try to play savior to the whole world, and it's a matter of national pride. What we aren't so proud of is the way our own infrastructure is crumbling...
Horror stories abound of people in developing countries who have to bathe, cook, drink, and relieve themselves in the same bodies of water. It's enough to turn your stomach, and people who are forced by desperation to consume this water actually do sicken and die. Filthy water is unsafe for humans and animals as well as a breeding ground for all types of insects...
Oetzi, the Iceman found in the Swiss-Italian Alps, was a traveller. No-one lived up there in those freezing conditions, so he had to have been going from one place to a different one. He was a traveller, possibly an outcast. He lived 5,300 years ago and he had 53 tattoos. The marks are still clearly visible on his parchment-like skin...
There are fashions in tattooing, just like there are in clothing, hairstyles and most other items and one of the rising trends is flower tattoos. This has much to do with the fact that more and more women like tattoos nowadays than ever before especially in the West. The good things concerning flower tattoos is that you do not have to modify them if you become divorced and their meaning is not blatant...
Tattoos are a sort of man-made scar, that can be coloured at will. Ink is introduced under the skin with a needle where it changes the natural pigmentation of the skin. In olden days, this may have been done with a sharpened feather or a splinter of timber; later, pins and needles were used. Nowadays a tattoo artist makes use of something that is comparable to a road drill, but in miniature...
Hindu End Of World BeliefsHindus believe that the world and its population goes through four reiterating cycles. These are the Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga. We are currently in the Kali Yuga, which is characterized by a wide-ranging deficiency of virtue. At the end of this era, Kali will judge everybody...
