Why did the US declare war on Libya?
Libya is going against the humanitarian rights. These rights basically mean that this is against what everyone believes and the Libyian leader is killing his own people. The United Nation has to take part and stop what is happening. Not only is the U.S involved but so is Europe.
The only reason that America is involved in Libya is simple because it wants to steal the libyan oil, which is among the best petroleum in the world because of its composition and richness. America is currently stealing oil from Iraq. America will kill anyone and any nation that stands in its way, so it uses Kadafi as an excuse. Ask yourselves, if America is such a goody goody country, then why doent it stay in places like Haiti, where much help is needed, places like Costa Rica, where all sorts of human rights have been committed and because locked up in cells forever and all with the consent of America...Ill tell you why, its simply because there is no oil there.
Why doesnt America play with Russia, or China, because America knows that she just may get her butt kicked. America can only pick on the little guy, and when the little guy defends himself America calls him a leftist and a communist.

The nautical star goes back to old navy traditions. It was the sailor that brought the tattoo back with him to the states. The nautical star represents 5000 nautical miles sailed. There are many other old navy tattoos such as the sailor's knot, the full rigged sailing ship, a blue swallow, the compass, helms and anchors, mermaids, how about the golden dragon, a sea turtle for the shell back, or a blue nosed polar bear. All having a significant meaning. And the list goes on, this is only a few to list for the navy. How about the winged skull with a beret for the Army's elite paratroopers and Special forces? Classic piece. How about the Eagle, Globe and anchor for all those who are "Semper Fi"? Certain Battalion or Regimental crests have adorned bodies.

How do Mayan people keep their tradition while adapting to modern life?
The modern world slowly intrudes into Mayan Villages.
The houses consist of one room. They are made of sticks. They are now covered with tarps rather than thatch.
Water is brought by hand carried buckets.
Electricity comes to the small homes as one light bulb in the center of the one room house.
A small fire for cooking constantly burns keeping the house smoky all the time. It also keeps the house free of insects making jungle living possible.
Some new houses are being built with a concrete floor. They have two rooms. The kitchen with its eternal smoky flame no longer in the sleeping area.
In many villages many of the men are gone a good part of the year working as migrant laborers and performing any other task they can find. They return home for the local harvest and to renew family ties.
The children are learning the same information as any other student in the government schools.
As you can see, the Maya are adding outside things one at a time. One lightbulb to their houses.
On the other hand, the ordinary Maya Indian does not have much money. We have no idea what they would do if they could afford it.

Why was christopher Columbus mean and mad all the time?
Columbus wasnt actually mean and mad all the time. But he was during his exploration. No body knows why he could but there is alot of theories. Most people suggest since he was at sea for more than a year he turned crazy. Like every crew, captain, or other explorer this isn't strange at all. Another theory is that he didn't have a good crew. His crew would always sleep and not work. Like a teacher is mean if his/her students misbehave. Since no one had a written record of why he was mean only that he was we will never actually know.

Are barrack Obama girls adopted?
Obama has 2 daughters and they are not adopted.

This is a blunt statement with overwhelming contrary evidence. Objectively commenting, please read on.
When, in history, has a proud mother, and husband, not had record of their childbearing shared days, especially in the career limelight when representing "Community", brimming with life and anticipation? Not a single photo in evidence for either M.O. pregnancy can be found on net searches and local political event photo ops, pre-Senatorial days 1-3 months before term dates. Nor can any lead be found on net for Birth specifics of hospital, rush to delivery, labor stories, as any proud mother would boast. What really lies behind a Mother's nature(and father's), obscured?? If there was some medical/hereditary factor which would have precluded natural child bearing, then that may be a better understandable truth, and God Bless adoption and family fulfillment...for the right reasons...love and future..
However, if it was an agendized marriage for a selected "Perfect Candidate" on track(as observed in their dating histories, relationships and how they were introduced via the Chicago Cotillion styled female group presentation,(all facts verifiable), then perchance, the genetic lineage of 50% Caucasian in Barry(Barack), and 12.5 % ?? in Michelle producing in even small chance, a very light, or even white child would have either upset the major plans of his backers, or become a life in silhouette Barack did not wish to endure...then shame on them. Either way, they are children and loved.

Before any intelligent conclusive statement can be made regarding the disposition of the Obama children's birth, explain this aberrant maternal, parental-to-be and political utilitarian photo op(next best to kissing a baby) behavior, scrubbing of documentation and diversity in maternal dues paid with pride. Then produce pictures of M.O. in a motherly way...twice. Otherwise, this is Unicorns' and Raiunbow time again on Fantasy Island (and possibly sham political marriage-as seen in many historic politicians) without an invitation to Noah's Cruise Lines from Mr Rourke..
Answers are asked for, not stories or presumptions. Try for truth. It's out there.
Show me normal Human Nature, and full pride in generations and their due.

I would responsibly define a proper end to this question when public evidence counters the points noted above. Why these key basic moments of pride in parentage have not brought question to others, hints of Newspeak ala Orwell 1984 for somebody's Party.
This question is based on a false assertion made by talk show host Glenn Beck back in 2008-2009. There are many conservatives who have always believed the worst about President Obama, so they quickly accepted Glenn Beck's claim, even though he had no proof to back it up. (Mr. Obama was raised by a white mother and white grandparents, most of his long-time friends are white, etc.) But as you will see, there are still people who believe what Mr. Beck asserted about the president, such that whatever the president says or does, it is interpreted as evidence of his supposed "hatred of white people." Such claims are frequently heard on conservative talk shows and from commentators on Fox News, where this is widely believed even today.
1. He doesn't hate white people. Quite simple. This kind of BS is brought into the world by racists, and whoever genuinely believes it should have their brains examined.
