How many countries have banned or discouraged Christianity?
Only North Korea has banned Christianity.
During much of the twentieth century, nations of the Soviet bloc strongly discouraged Christianity, but these restrictions have been lifted.
Some say that China discourages Christianity, but there is no overt sense of this in travelling around the country and visiting churches on Sundays. The Chinese government does refuse to accept the authority of foreign authorities to nominate leading clergy within China, but this is probably influenced more by experience with foreign domination and the humiliation of China by foreign powers during the nineteenth century. The Chinese government does implicitly discourage Christianity (and to a lesser extent, other religions) by making development approvals for the construction of new churches and temples exceedingly hard to obtain.
What are three reasons that violence is wrong?
Violence is wrong because it is morally wrong to hurt others. If you don't like to be hurt, why would it be OK to hurt others? Violence is wrong because it does not really solve anything. It also can hurt those who are close to those that are the objects of the violence.
What is an example of Miranda rights?

They are our rights. Like our right to live! We need the Civil Law because , I want my rights!
Is you read her her Miranda rights correct or should it be you read her the Miranda rights?
This is not really so much a legal question as one of grammar.
So we are asked which is "right": "you read her her Miranda rights" vs. "you read her the Miranda rights."
They are both correct. Certainly "the" Miranda rights is correct. Miranda rights are proper things and the definite article is warranted (give read "a" Miranda rights a whirl). However, any person in a U.S. jurisdiction is possessed of Fifth Amendment rights (either directly or via the 14th Amendment) and it is therefore proper to use the possessive when relating them to said rights. Thus, I have my rights and you have yours and she has her rights and those include "her Miranda rights."
However, there might be a more subtle pattern of inquiry here. What exactly do we mean by "Miranda rights"? The right to be read Miranda warnings is itself some sort of contingent right (If I understand Dickerson correctly--but really, does anyone?), or rather it's a right to have unwarned incriminating responses to custodial interrogation excluded from the government's case-in-chief.
I would hold that what we mean when we say "Miranda rights" is essentially the same as what we mean when we say the "Miranda warnings" (as distinct from the singular "Miranda warning"). It is a reference to the set of constitutionally protected rights actually described to the subject during the reading. Could it also be a reference to the specified text rather than the rights therein? I think that that is in the mind of many speakers--the ritual itself, but grammatically I think the conclusion that the words mean the rights is unavoidable. However, if we say "read her the/her Miranda warning" the use of the singular shifts meaning more to the ritual text. However this expression is uncommon. Much more common is the very practical expression "Mirandized." "Have you Mirandized her yet?" I expect this will continue to grow in popularity.
So, returning to the main issue, which is correct? "Her" or "the"? Again, they are both correct. Which is "best"? "The Miranda rights" is best. It avoids the awkward double pronoun "her her," [notice this is not an issue with "him his"], but is also focuses purely on the object, the rights being read, and, with the indirect object clearly specified, dispenses with the possessive pronoun, which is basically redundant.
Which is most common? "Her" is most common. This is probably because of the emphasis on the necessary ritual reading of the rights to each individual. "Did you read this one her rights yet?" "Her rights? Yeah, I read her hers. She's all set. Did you do his yet?" "Sure did. By the way, you seen my truncheon?"
Another question is whether "the Miranda rights" or "the Miranda Rights" is correct. Perhaps we should dig up Kate Turabian and ask her. She would know. But if someone decides to beat it out of me, I'll have to say "the Miranda Rights."
What are two rights of Miranda rights?
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
You have the right to a lawyer. If you can not afford one, one will be provided for you.

How do you contact Larry King at his CNN email address?
Dear Larry King, I watched the Lou Dobbs This Week show on Sunday Dec. 14, 2008, with his guess Elizabeth Warren who expressed her inability to set forth a comprehensive plan to address the Housing crisis. Moreover, his segment on the War On The Middle Class where homeowners continue to find themselves re-defaulting on their mortgages after entering into a loan modification with their lenders' is on the rise. We have a second wave of foreclosures that will have a greater impact our economy next year as a result of the fallout from the Alt-A and Option Arm Loans that was generated in 2004 and 2005. I emailed a business model proposal outline that will give sound solutions to America's economic challenges. The reason I am confident that this business model can be that "single solution or magic bullet" that Chairman Sheila Bair of the FDIC did not believe existed is because it has been implemented on a smaller scale for years. As an entrepreneur and a practitioner in the area of Real Estate, Finance, Taxes and Business Strategy along with my legal background, I consistently deal with the stress and anxiety of the average American to find real, tangible solutions. The question I have is why haven't the government consulted real practitioners for answers? As I presented to CNN on Saturday Dec. 13, 2008 when I emailed (see attached email), I believe that the reason our New Administration has not made reference to these sound solutions is because the information is coming from a small business that does not have the President-Elect's ear or have access to him since I am an outsider, even though the proposal and all email communications has been sent to the Transitional Team and the President-Elect. I watch your show every night along with The Situation Room, Lou Dobbs and Anderson Cooper 360. I believe the power that CNN has as a media company that is number one for news can be effective in giving its views relief that solutions are being developed. Just imagine what contribution CNN can make to help Americans and perhaps even add to history in sharing with you viewers that there are sound solutions to our current economic crisis. I look forward to your response. Allen Shay, a small business owner. EMAIL SENT 12/13/2008 On Lou Dobbs Thursday show, Congresswoman Maxine Waters wanted to support Chairman Shelia Bair of the FDIC as an initiative to address the current Housing Crisis. On Friday his show indicated that 85% of the viewers felt that the $700 Billion Bailout should have been directed to the Housing Crisis instead of the financial institutions. My questions to you is why is it that the New Administration asked the people of this country for "The new and fresh thinkers" to provide proposals and solutions to our current economic challenges, but fail to respond when a proposal is submitted by a person who is an outsider or a small business? I would like to present to you and your viewers a comprehensive and effective business model that will achieve the following: 1. Stop and Prevent Foreclosure:2. Stabilize Property values: 3. Stimulate New Investments: 4. Create Job Growth: 5. Create Educational Opportunities: 6. Create Accountability:7. Create New Consumer Confidence. This proposal has been developed to serve as a fast-track program to create the business model for the 21st century economy. With you and your viewer ship, you can be the exclusive network who can bring this change into the future. Please contact me regarding my comments.
