People take arms in their hands when they are oppressed, have fire in their stomach, when their basic human and civil rights are grossly violated by the oppressors. In India, the Maoists have rebelled against the authority after they capitalized the sufferings of the tribal people, who were denied their land rights even in their home land where they have been living for centuries,after they remain starved for days together, denied to collect fire woods for their livlihood.

Peace is the core of everything.

I disagree, education is the core. It is education that defeats ignorance and it is ignorance that allows injustice. If you look at any repressive government you will find a system that is set up to restrict higher education or if not restrict it but to control the curriculum. History is important, to know what has happened is very important and if you rely on someone or something that has an interest in anything other than the spread of knowledge you are giving someone power over you. It is not just the individual facts that a person has stored in their memory that defines education in this sense. The true power in education is the ability to think critically. It is an ability, I fear, that is becoming more and more rare. To be able to collect data and then form it into a cohesive thought or idea is what education is supposed to be all about. It is my opinion that most people do not TRULY form their own independent opinion. They are influenced by factors that have been designed to LEAD them to a conclusion. Few people search for answers anymore.

Enough of my rant! Answer the question! I believe the statement, "Educate for peace" is begging you to find out why a particular situation does not have peace. EDUCATE yourself as to the problems that have led to the conflict. Only then can people find a solution. Also, if you see the statement as a way to prevent conflict and maintain peace then you must educate yourself to know what has maintained it in the past and know how to resolve issues without escalating to conflict. These things can be done on a personal up to National level.

Yes, if you live in a state that allows Class III weapons (i.e. full automatic rifles). Other "copies" of the AK, such as the MAK-90 or MAADI are legal as long as the state you live in allows them.

Also, note that NO fully automatic weapon manufactured after 1986 is legal in any part of the United States, except to specially licensed government officials as a part of their job. Such weapons are classified as "machine guns" and the law allowing legal ownership by private individuals (even when licensed) has now lapsed. You may purchase one of the dwindling numbers of AKs made prior to the 1986 ban, but extremely few of them exist, and the cost of them are extreme ($10,000 or more); you will require a Federal license to buy such a weapon, and this requires a significant background check.

If your AK-47 has been permanently converted to semi-automatic status, then check with your local law enforcement to see if your state (and/or city) allows for the possession of such a weapon. For instance, California explicitly bans even modified AK weapons, but many other states allow them.

Any weapon authorized for legal possession can be legally used to protect your home. However, many states have laws around when deadly force may be legally used in protection of property, not human life. For instance, many states require you to retreat into your house before using deadly force - e.g. you must first exhaust all reasonable attempts to flee before using the weapon. Talk to a local defense lawyer about the laws of your state with respect to use of deadly force.

Patriotism is defined as a love for or a devotion to one's country. With the events that happened in America on September 11th, patriotism has been in everyone's mind and heart. Young men and women have been enlisting in the armed forces to support America. Americans are flying flags on their cars and homes to show their patriotism. Millions of Americans are donating money and blood in support of the victims of the attacks. I would define patriotism as a loyalty and commitment to America and the people in our country.

One way to define patriotism is to look at an example of my enlistment in the Army and the training that I received in Basic. I decided to join the Army in 1996 after an unsuccessful attempt at college. I decided I wanted to serve my country by defending our freedom in the event that a war should happen and help other countries abroad defend their freedom also. It was in Basic Training that I was taught hand-to-hand combat, how to accurately fire a M16 machine gun, ground tactics and camouflage. The training I received prepared me to be ready to defend America. I was committed to serve and protect the country where I lived. I was displaying my patriotism for America by defending the freedoms that I and other Americans have in this country.

In a major holocaust, mass butchering takes place, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. All sorts of human rights are violated. Specially the basic and most fundamental 'Right to Live' is grossly denied. This is the most tragic part of any holocaust.

_________

'irrespective of caste, creed or religion'? No, certain groups are targeted. It isn't random spree-killing.

Taking away of human rights may vary from one country to other. Under military regime,most frequent violation of human rights include freedom of free speech, free religious worship by minority communities which are taken away by military juntas. However under democratic set up, this ocasionaly happens, though human right activists act as watch dog for protection of human rights.

Religion, as with many other human ideologies, is not purely a personal thing but also a form of communication and identification. In society, therefore, religion often encompasses not only belief but active expression and participation in affairs involved with that religion (which vary based on the religion in question). Because religion, in my opinion, has this element, there is a motivation for people with belief systems to wish for protections in their religious lives. In history, this often has taken place when a minority religious group (e.g.) Protestants; Muslims; Hebrews) have been repressed in their action by the majority and, therefore, wish to seek formal legal enforcement to protect their ability to follow their religion.

Once you have been charged and arraigned you should go to trial in 90 days or less (i.e.: right to a "speedy" trial). However, if your defense attorney requests a waiver of speedy trial and asks for more time (for whatever reason) the judge will usually grant their request. Also, if the prosecution asks for an extension of the time limit, AND YOUR ATTORNEY AGREES TO IT, the judge will usually grant that also. If you're that anxious to go to trial, speak with your defense attorney and ask them what the holdup is.

This depends on what the settlement consist of. Any part of the settlement that is reimbursement for medical expenses or pain and suffering is not taxable. If part of the settlement consists of reimbursement for lost wages, that is taxable. That is because, had you received those wages back then, you would have had to pay taxes on them. It is basically taxable money that you didn't get till after you should have.

Ensuring justice for all is used in a broader sense. As an individual I can see whether any infringement of basic human rights are being violated or not. I have to see that the law of the country is fair to all, irrespective of person's financial strata i.e. rich poor alike. The various social welfare schemes floated by the Government meant mainly for upliftment of the poor and down trodden,are often misused and reach a small fraction to whom it is meant. Under democratic set up, people vote to power the political party who ensures social justice to all.
