A world war. The election of many truly international politicians in hundreds of different countries. The slow changing of the global environment. The depletion of world resources and the invention of the Atomic bomb. Man made it into space, and onto the moon. Billions died, and billions were born, some died of old age, many didn't. The formation of the U.N, and the E.U. The eventual rise of the Asian states, along with a steady increase in global domestic product. A new millenia has passed, and numerous apocalyptic conspiracy theories have been debunked. The rise of the personal computer and of the internet. Eventually the arrival of WikiAnswers, and the formation of this rather generalised question; and a billion other events.
How long does it take to drown?
Drowning is a process, not a single event. That is, drowning takes a rather extended time period, rather than an instantaneous action.
At its most basic level, drowning is suffocation, depriving the body of oxygen cells need to function. From a medical standpoint, the most critical cells are brain cells; other cells can die, but if enough brain cells die, then the body dies, no matter how much of the rest of the body's remains alive.
For this discussion, let's assume that drowning starts at the moment the person takes their last breath of air, NOT when they fall in the water. After that moment, the bloodstream does not get any new oxygen. So, as it circulates, cells remove the last of the existing oxygen from the blood; this process takes a handful of seconds (perhaps as many as a dozen). After the bloodstream's oxygen is depleted, cells switch from aerobic (with oxygen) to anaerobic (without oxygen) chemical processes to get their needed energy. Depending on the physical fitness of the individual, a person can burn anaerobically for up a couple of minutes at full speed; think about the time that you can hold your breath - that's the time you are burning anaerobically at full speed.
After this time, the body recognizes that it is in immediate danger, and begins to shut down various functions, in an attempt to conserve any stored energy. In the brain, this shutdown quickly leads to loss of consciousness. The body continues to slow down as much as it can, while still burning reserves anaerobically to provide energy. Eventually, the body runs out of reserves, and cells die. When enough brain cells die, the person is dead.
Restoring oxygen to the person at any stage above can revived them, though, if the person has been without air for an extended time, brain cells may have died, which is permanent. That is, recovery may be possible, but brain damage is permanent.
Assuming a normally fit person, otherwise conscious and uninjured, who is drowning in warm (21C/70F) water, I would estimate 2-3 minutes before full loss of consciousness, and 5-10 minutes before brain damage, and 15 minutes before irrecoverable death.
Note that there is a recently discovered reflex which helps humans when drowning - it is called the Mammalian Diving Reflex. When cold (below 21C/70F) water hits the face, the body immediately begins the "shutdown to conserve" process above. This only works if the face is underwater. The colder the water, the faster the body shuts down. Also, the younger the person, the faster the reflex takes action. There are documented cases of children falling through ice-covered ponds who have survived over 30 minutes without brain damage.

Why are women less likely to commit crime?
Statistically, this actually is not the case. According to the US Department of Justice, 75.6 percent of all offenders were male and only 20.1 percent were female. The remaining percentage were from cases that the victim was unable to ID their attacker.
In Bureau of Justice Statistics study that ran from 1993 to 1997, specific types of crime suspect were broken down by gender. The results were:
Sexual assault: 98% Male suspects vs 2% female suspects
Robbery: 93% Male suspects vs 7% female suspects
Aggravated Assault: 89% Male suspects vs 11% female suspects
Simple Assault: 82% Male suspects vs 18% female suspects
Why do people chose to live on a flood plain?

What will rockets be used for in the future?
Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.

How do resources affect the development of a country?
Natural resources are the basic building blocks of a country. Natural resources come in many forms, and are just as equally important to the development of the country. Firstly, we have agriculture. Food grown through farming is important for development, as without food, the basic necessity to survival, people will be malnourished and unable to work.
The forests are able to provide us with the materials for construction, furniture and paper, important resources used in our daily life.
Mineral resources such as diamonds, coal, fossil fuels etc. are used to generate power, as well as selling them to other parts of the world.
Renewable resources such as wind, solar, water are able to provide us with limitless energy, not forgetting the most basic form of survival and civilization (water), and the energy of all living things (solar power).
Natural resources in excess, such as crops, timber, minerals etc. can be exported to other parts of the world to provide the country with a stable economy for development. Without one another, the development of the country would definitely be slowed down.
