Who survived in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
For clarification: the only people who survived or died in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are the fictional characters in the movie. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened in real life. It's fiction. See the Related Question.
The only character who survives in the original film is Sally. She gets rescued at the end by a guy driving by in a pickup truck. As the truck drives away, she watches Leatherface swing his chainsaw around in futile frustration, as she laughs insanely and hysterically (she is obviously quite traumatized and not in her right mind).
Where did the Darfur genocide happen and what happened?
The conflict is very complex, but the basic information is the following:

Is Texas Chainsaw Massacre scary?
Driving through the backwoods of Texas, five youths pick up a traumatized hitchhiker, who shoots herself in their van. Shaken by the suicide, the group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they knock on the door of a remote homestead. It's quickly apparent the residents are a family of inbred psychopaths, and the unlucky youths suddenly find themselves running for their lives. In hot pursuit is a disfigured, chainsaw-wielding cannibal known as Leatherface.

The conflict between hutu and tutsi?
The Difference between the Hutus and the Tutsis was based on European Imperialism. Rwanda was originally occupied by the Germans and then later the Belgians. The Europeans thought that the Tutsis were ethnically superior then the Hutus because of the fact that the Tutsis had lighter skin. This resulted in preferential treatment for Tutsis. The Hutus resented this special treatment. The Europeans made Hutus and Tutsis have identity cards with their race printed prominently on the pass. This was how the Hutus identified Tutsis during the genocide. In short the Hutus resentment of the Tutsis were caused by the Europeans that colonized Rwanda and their pseudo science. Also note that the Tutsis were the minority population but got more rights because of the color of their skin

Why is the genocide in Darfur occurring?
genocide
The systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, social status, or other particularity.
- Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/genocide
The Islamic controlled government, located in East and North Sudan, started the genocide as an ethnic cleansing of the Darfur region in West Sudan. They "hire" militia groups known as the Janjaweed to attack villages, rape, kill and loot. I have hire in quotations because the government is not paying them, their reward is what they are able to steal.
The Darfurians are now being forced out of their lands and into neighboring Chad. So far, no government has intervened in a meaningful way. There have been treaties made with the government of Sudan that they are not sticking to. They assist the Janjaweed in the attacks occasionally with air support. Though they deny it, we know that it is the government assisting them, for they are the only ones who have the knowledge and experience to fly these helicopters as the air support.
There has been demands put on China, who has a strong trade system with Sudan as it does with the US, to cut its ties (along with ending its oppression of the people of Tibet) but that also does very little. If the US were to stop trades with China, the Chinese economy would collapse, forcing them to give in, but the US economy would collapse as well.
The UN can and has sent in peace keepers, but they can do very little to help because they cant fire unless being fired upon. And since it is the Darfurians and not the UN peace keepers the Sudanese government wants dead, then there is little if nothing they UN can do to help
In the end, the only solution seems to be military force, which the US can not currently provide due to its entanglements in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Note:
As with everything, especially contentious issues like what is happening in Darfur there are a number of answers, depending on whom you speak with and who offers comments.
In order to derive a proper, balanced, objective version of events I would suggest that you read or consult a number of sources rather than simply taking the first written piece that you find as the whole and complete truth. Dbxsoul
How did the Darfur Genocide begin?
Rebels to arms for Independance of Darfur. The Janwaweed Militia, supported by the Sudanese Govt. wanted to eliminate the issue of self-proclamation of Darfur. They just wanted to wipe the Darfur people, so that none remains alive to ask for liberty.
How many children died from the genocide in Darfur?
Up to 400,000 people have died due as a result of direct attacks and conflict induced malnutrition and disease. The vast majority of these have been women, children and civilian men. More than 3 million people have been displaced and are living in IDP camps. More than 350,000 people are deprived of humanitarian support due to the threat of attack faced by aid workers. Thousands starve each month due to the Sudanese government impeding humanitarian aid efforts. A further 4 million Darfuri residents are dependant on limited international humanitarian assistance. The violence is now spilling onto neighbouring Eastern Chad.
What are some differences and similarities between rwanda's genocide and Darfur Sudan's genocide?
The similarities between the Rwandan genocide and Darfur are that rebel's attack government and the government's reply is to purposely kill not only the rebels but the civilians.

Why is the The Columbine high school massacre important?
It's an important part of American history.
There has been tons of research done on school violence for a few reasons: to understand it and to prevent it.
There's always that quote that circulates around---"history repeats itself"---and some people believe that students are taught history in classes so that they don't repeat the bad events (violence, wars, school violence, the Holocaust, etc.).

How did the Nazi Germany use concentration camps to carry out genocide?
In the late 1930's the Nazis killed thousands of handicapped Germans by lethal injection and poisonous gas. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, mobile killing units following in the wake of the German Army began shooting massive numbers of Jews and Roma (Gypsies) in open fields and ravines on the outskirts of conquered cities and towns. Eventually the Nazis created a more secluded and organized method of killing enormous numbers of civilians -- six extermination centers were established in occupied Poland where large-scale murder by gas and body disposal by cremation were systematically conducted. Victims were deported to these centers from Western Europe and from the ghettos in Eastern Europe which the Nazis had established. In addition, millions died in the ghettos and concentration camps as a result of forced labor, starvation, exposure, brutality, disease and execution.

Is there going to be another Holocaust?
During the war in Bosnia there were camps where Albanian men and women were separated and all of them starved. The women were raped daily by 30 soldiers. When they were too far gone in their pregnancies they were let out. A sure way to kill a society and when this became known, that they had used rapes as a weapon, it was finally declared a warcrime in the war tribunal in Haag. So in a way it have already happened because the world didn't go in. Men from a camp testified that they had managed to put a radio together and hear the president deny there was a camp there.
Read the passage below from Barack Obama's 2013 speech at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. What evidence does this excerpt provide to support the conclusion that Nazis pursued a policy of genocide toward Jews during World War
How likely is another Holocaust?
It is not very likely becauseof modern day communication and technology.
___
I don't see that 'communciations and technology' make another holocaust more or less likely. The genocide in Rwanda in 1994 was carried mainly with the use of machettes, for example (about 800,000 Tutsis were killed in 3 months). The rest of the world didn't want to do know about it - till it was over.
