>My paper has nothing to do with section 8 or chapter 8.

That's good. Please don't try to claim to know about either.

>PTSD is heavily linked to batshit crazy. But I do know the difference.

No. No. It's not. PTSD is the human psyche's response to an unnatural situation. It's a coping mechanism. It is 180* from batshit crazy. Please - if you are going to write this paper? Get some good sources... On Killing is a good place to start and then you can google your local county's vet rep (usually unemployment offices in the county will have one) and then? Get you head out of you ass.

>No, I have not "served", but I have enlisted. So officially, I am in the military. Or air force, if you will.

OMG. PLEASE go tell someone serving that you made it through MEPS so you're in the military. Please tell someone from another branch - or shit - go talk to another recruiter from another branch - and tell them you're "in the military" because you processed for the Air Force.

You do know that untill you're at basic that there isn't anything anyone can do to you, right? You may be a DEP but that is just a piece of paper and a promise to your recruiter. No one is going to show up if you don't go into your little admin job for the Air Force in a couple of months.... but - good on ya! I'm so proud that some little college kid thinks he's special because he signed a piece of paper and now he's "in the military." LOL

>My paper will have nothing to do with my experience.

That's good. Because you don't have any but apparently you think that anyone with PTSD is batshit crazy? Hmmm... are you a little biased? Wow. You will have some fun with your Top 3.

>Its solely based on my research and veterans testimony's.

"veteran testimony" is what you meant to type. You need to read some real world resources and not think PTSD is a mental disease. It's a normal response to an abnormal situation. Until you understand that? I can't help you


Thanks for thinking you're in the military and you can "speak for us".... SMH....

If you truly believe that, I encourage you to study the origins of science and the beginnings of the so-called "conflict thesis" that you are taking as true. This book might be an interesting place to start: https://www.amazon.com/When-Science-Christianity-David-Lindberg/dp/0226482162.

Are you sure you went to a Catholic school? I went through Catholic school and was taught the Big Bang theory in Theology as what most likely happened.

Was also taught natural selection and evolution in Biology.

>According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (#337), the book of Genesis "symbolically" presents God's work of creation. In other words, the Biblical story of creation is like a parable in that the plot does not have to be literally true in order for the story to convey profound religious truths, such as the sequential and increasingly complex nature of God's creative activity. Interestingly, the idea of evolution seems to be supported by Genesis 1:24, which states, "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures." Genesis does not say that God directly created plants and animals in their final form, only that they came forth from "the earth."

I would throw in more stuff but I am lazy and at work.

I also hate partisan politics.

But parties serve a purpose, and it is entirely rational to vote for a candidate simply because of their party if you feel that that party aligns well with your views. Moreover, no matter how you feel personally about a candidate, they will be beholden to their party and it doesn't make sense to vote for a candidate you happen to personally like who is part of a party you disagree with.

There is a lot of thought and writing in this direction. For example, check out http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0226012727

That's extremely standard world history coverage. I've seen a special ed middle school class hit all those topics, albeit not in too much detail. I took AP World History in high school, and I had to read this thousand page book cover-to-cover as well as supplemental books, various projects, and a museum trip. All these people here replying to the 3rd comment either weren't paying attention, forgot everything, or went to some backwards high school.

Genesis 19:1-28

This book is an AMAZING discussion of some of the more fucked up parts of the Old Testament, like Levirite marriage/Onanism (aka why you can't masturbate), the Rape of Dinah, and Tamar and Judah. I met the author, and he is a smart, funny guy. Like me, he's a practicing Jew, and he can also see how ridiculous and fucked up some of our stories are. I learned a lot from him/his book.

> Now, robot slaves might be a good thing until they gain sentience. Then we might end up in a matrix type situation, if we're lucky, or a Terminator type situation if we aren't.

Read Martin Ford's Rise of the Robots. The real problem with robots is not that they will become self-aware but that they don't pay income taxes. It kind of leaves the public sector in the toilet unless we let AI become politicians.

There was a book called The Deep Hot Biosphere by Thomas Gold that goes WAY in depth on this subject. There was a book called 9 Crazy Ideas in Science That Might Be True by Robert Ehrlichhat summarized the ideas behind it, including Gold's (as well as 8 other weird science things.) It's a bit dated (probably from early 2000's.)

If you're interested in this topic, you should read CS Lewis's "The Problem of Pain."

Start with the Third Reich Trilogy by Richard J. Evans. In those three books you can read about how NSDAP and the nazi ideology came to be, what the the nazis wanted to do and what they did.

Well, I googled It. But now I'm even more confused.

John Diamond (a journalist) wrote about this after he was diagnosed with cancer. I haven't read the book myself, but I've heard decent things.

realistically, none have happened yet. The USSR had its merits but it wasn't a fully Marxist state, in fact Marx would have hated the USSR probably. If a sane person instead of stalin was at the helm of the USSR in the 30s and 40s maybe it wouldn't have been as bad with the genocide and all. However, the stereotypical image of the USSR is the bread line right, well for a significant chunk of the time that was wrong and there were none, not from the 40s to the 80s. If you want a really good book about early soviet structure and society I would recommend behind the urals by John Scott ( https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Urals-American-Worker-Russias/dp/0253205360 ) he has a bit of a leftist view but he makes no attempt to disguise the problems and the feelings in the soviet union. I could go on for hours about why the USSR failed and why other states turning to more socialist principals wouldn't (Sweeden hello!) but I am actually writing a paper about that now. If you would like you can PM me if I wasn't clear on anything I would be happy to explain in depth, I am rushing a bit through this response to get back to that paper though. Like I said just PM me any questions you may have.
