Conservation Of The Environment
In the Modern Days, there are too much Ecological Problems which were unknown for our Ancestors, and other ones which weren't so Serious nor Common for them.
In several Places, the Blue of the Skies got transformed in a Dark Gray, the Pure and Crystaline Water has now Industrial, Commercial, and Domestic Wastes; the Forests and Greenfields have yielded the Right of Way to Deserts and Eroded Lands. Several Birds and Insects are disappearing, some of our Non-Renovate Natural Resources are exhausting; while the Cities are still growing of an Uncontrolled way, and with them, the Noise, the Pollution, the Poverty, and the Discomfort.
Several of the Problems we have Nowadays are the Result of the Efforts the Humankind made for solving other Difficulties.
For example, for Increasing the Food Production, they invented the Insecticides and Pesticides; Saddly, their Usage has polluted the Water and destroyed Birds and Insects. For improving the Transport, they invented the Car, the Train, the

Why I (and you) Love Video Games
If ya don't care, don't read! :dummy:------------------------------------------------ Video Games. A sizable portion of the population LOVES them, myself included.
They're addicting -- sometimes to a fault, depending on who you are.
But...why are they so loved?
What do we like about them so much, even when they make us want to bash our heads against brick walls and destroy everything we own???
I have a few theories...For starters, humans have an issue with greed.
Try as we might to be conservative about some things, we can't ignore that we like to take, to conquer and to be on top.
In video games, 99.9% of the time, the goal is...

Diego Garcia (Same Day);
It was complete chaos in the main hangar as N.E.S.T soldiers worked desperately to locate where the flash had generated from. Three days had passed since the event had happened and they still didn’t have a clue as to where the shard was! It was a race against time. The ‘cons—though they were probably turned into humans too—were still out there and they had to have seen the flash too and—with N.E.S.T’s luck—probably already knew what it was. If they got a hold of it God only knew what could happen. N.E.S.T knew they had to find that shar...

~LaLu~ Chapter 25: Introduction to Malice and Fear
Her teeth clattered from the freezing temperature that was wrapping her skin. Stench of dampness and candles permeated the air. The scurrying sound of the rats and mice echoed through the dim room as the melody of dripping water continued on its rhythm. Brick mossy walls surrounded her, accompanied by the light of a hundred candles by the wall encircling her except for the area that seemed to be the only way out. An old worn out table stood alone at a corner in front of the captive with two old looking chairs beside it. She woke up a minute ago after feeling that her surrounding had changed drastically. Her wrists were bound in heavy silv...

Konoha Children's Crusade Chapter 36 part 2
******* Her proposal was simple. Trial by combat. It was a common way to solve disputes in old time Konoha. The two parties in a dispute would fight, or would find a champion to do their fighting for them, and the one standing at the end of it all would be determined to be in the right. Of course it didn’t work very well. Usually what would happen was one trial by combat would lead to another, and another and finally the whole thing would end up as a generational blood feud more often than not. Sakura didn’t want to accept this. There was no good reason to accept this, other than the fact that it solved the issue of having ...

The Reaper War (52) - Revelation
19 June 2186, Cronos Station I have seen combat in hundreds of places in my life. A bitter fight in the dark wreckage of a mining outpost, a monstrously large moon hovering overhead. A vicious close-quarters battle on a sunless rogue planet. A desperate flight through a burning forest. A sudden ambush at night, among million-year-old ruins. A full-on assault through horribly deadly jungle, against fortified positions. So many places we sentient beings have chosen to shed one another’s blood, end one another’s lives. I still think the strangest battlefield I have ever seen was there, on the scaffolds and catwalks of Cronos Station, cl...

12:09 a.m.Matt was actually watching television and not playing a game on it when I came back out into the living room. Apparently there was some "big race" on, where men from around the world competed in a high-speed drifting competition. Of course, this didn't stop him from playing on his PSP during commercials. I let him watch, doing my usual check of all my online Kira sources. The international news didn't mention any sort of updates, and Sakura TV repeated the same old ass-kissing "Lord Kira" drivel. The chatrooms were as noisy and senseless as ever. I really wasn't going to get anywhere without new develop...

I coughed and glance my surrounding and saw Brutus with his owl soldiers sitting on the branch with Bathsheba roosting and the corner of my eyes I saw Luger smiling cruelly at me. "Have a nice sleep?" He asked while growling. I tried to talk but my mouth was covered with grass tighten. "Mmmff Mmmff!" I cried out trying to say what the heck?

Book Review of David Weber
Book Review, Like a Mighty Army by David WeberDramatic with fervor on army statistics and greatly enthused from horror. Okay, maybe a few principles here and there in my mind can hit on the exact construct of the book- in general, there’s so much motion of feeling with tidbits of horror philosophy, but visions on fictional spectacles and idioms help out on the different fronts of fantasy as indicated not only through the highly improvised map on gathered nation-spots but also within the boundaries of Weber’s intrinsic storytelling. Arrogance from the various military personnel is highly contagious and beats up the cobwebs between the nat...
An upheaval shook the room as the twin doors parted and he rushed in, his massive form clunking as he reached the forecourt of the throneroom. Beyond him, a set of three shallow steps lead up to the enormous seat of power, which was turned away from him. Behind it, lining the aft end of the circular room, rectangular panel windows provided a view to the city below, the spire so enormous that even the newly re-awakened and rampaging monster seemed ever so tiny. The huge emblem of the Cluster mounted on the wall overhead, two black antenna that formed the letter V, a sapphire orb in its centre with a shiny silver cog in place behind it, crow...
There is a group of people that I hate with God's own passion: conspiracy theorists. In my mind, they are the one group that's intellectually holding the world back. And I'm not just referring to those whackjobs who go around bitching about the U.S. Government being behind 9/11, the Illuminati, the 2012 apocalyptics, the Freemasons, aliens, and the so-called 'New World Order'--whatever the hell that is. Those people (whom I refer to as the 'Tin Foil Helmet Crowd') aren't a problem because nobody with a brain stem takes them seriously. No, the conspiracy theorists I'm talking about are found everywhere. Everything will become clear whe...

Greg dratsab Huffman's Diary of Thoughts (p.2)
“Happiness is a ladder with the flames of misery always about your feet. The flames match the pace of your own ascent with just slight delay. Stand still and the tips of the flames will burn you only slightly and slowly. But don’t move too fast lest the ladder has a limit to its heights. However, if you do survive the plunge, falling utterly into despair, and you manage to grasp the ladder yet again, you will find that the flames will reset as well and the journey and the climb can begin anew.” – 7/10/2014“I’m not loyal to atheism or any other movement; I’m loyal to truth, which any group worth anything claims as their member, and if I...
