The Victem of Rape at Fault?

A girl wearing what most teens wear (wild shirts, dark eye makeup) works at her mother’s diner and asks an old woman if she'd like ketchup. The woman turns to her and says "even though nothing is showing, you're being ungodly. You make men want to be sinful." The Old woman hands the girl a pamphlet and she looks at it. It reads "Woman & Girls" and talks about how it's not only man's fault that some rape girls because the girls are provoking them with their clothing.
Rapes occur to people from ages 2-92+. So technically this assumption could be incorrect. It may have some play in rapes because teens have less concealing clothing and can be unintelligent in situations that lead to Rape but when Christians give out handouts like that it's wrong and not intelligent.
They need to just find out who started this and find all the people who agree and have a sort of debate about this and have both sides talk about it and acknowledge all the points.

Shorter days from Chile

The destructive 8.8 Earthquake in Chile had the world worrying due to deaths and Tsunami's but I didn't expect to find out that that 8.8 Earthquake has sped up the velocity of the earth.
Now the speed has moved 2.7 millarcseconds which will make the days shorter.
In 2004 there was a 9.1 earthquake that sped up the rotation of earth by 6.8 microseconds.
It seems like the amount of natural disasters is increasing over the years and some time (thousands of years from now) the earth might be changed too much for us to live properly.

*New Orlean back on their feet?*

On august 29, 2005 hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans with devistating force causing a massive flood and a lot of people to die. Naturally we expect ourselves to help one another and heal ourselves before we play as a savior for another country. But in this case the united states didn't offer as much help as New Orleans needed.
It's been close to five years after and we still rarely hear about how they are doing. They have built up their city again and are back in action but it seems like the number of murders and murderers and robbers and such have gone up. All over the New Orleans news paper I saw tons of articles about how someone's going to jail for something or how the people are still trying to find murderers and about people being shot. They may have built their city back up but they have deffinatly lowered themselves morally to the ground.
The levees were the reason why hurricane Katrina destroyed as much as it did. They were made for 3 point storms which wasn't strong enough and the design was poor. After the hurrican the people built it up again. But exactly how it was before. They should have changed the style of the levees because the previous style obviously didn't work and they are still too weak if some disaster comes up in that area again.

Russia in Olympics

The Russian's didn't seem to do so well in the winter Olympics this year and is going home with only 5 silver and 7 bronze medals. Russia was in 11th place for the gold medals table for the Olympics and was overshadowed by Canada, 13 gold medals, South Korea, 6 gold medals, and China, 5 gold medals.
Since the 1960’s Russia had been dominating in figure skating and ice hockey but this year those two was their weakest link.
The athletes were complaining about how they don't have some of the materials and places needed to practice certain sports such as Luge. They don't have a proper track for it and the sleds needed for the sport cost about $100,000 out of the users pocket and the materials are hard to find as well as the person who makes them.
Figure skater, Irina Rodnina, complained to the heads of the Olympic committee about the funding and ways of training and such.
Russia's ruler Medvedev was going to travel to Vancouver for the closing ceremony but he canceled due to Russia's poor performance which embarrassed him.

I think that Russia should just be happy for now with what they have. I have heard a lot about how the Russian's are very hard core about things and can't stand to lose but they worked hard and maybe over did practicing. They should be happy with what they got because not everyone can be a professional at what they do. They'll probably come back next year double the force.
Also maybe the people complaining might be able to convince the Olympic committee to change a few things about their training, funding, and facilities.
I wish them luck in their routines and practices over the next period of time until the next Winter Olympics.
