| | + | :I would describe the United Nations as Machiavellian. The UN has every nation's resource at their disposal and easily exploits countries for another's gain. The United Nations is a terrible entity that would do anything to achieve its goal of "world peace." The UN is a perfect example of something that says the end justifies the means. (Sean) |

Using Bill Clinton as a springboard for her campaign to the Senate and prior to that having no political experience she used every means available, such as telling the Jewish population of New York that she was pro-Israel and now as Secretary of State is pro-Palestinian. Hillary Clinton has used the people of New York to further her own selfish ends. (Will) |

Therefore, to help humans from giving into their inclinations to sin The Eternal Lord has told us of the threat of eternal torture. This leads us to the conclusion that humans should indeed be told that, if you lead a life that blasphemes the Lord, an Abyss of despair gapes wide to engulf you. (Cole) |

| | :When we discussed genocide in class, I was of the opinion that there must be examples of genocide that occurred prior to the 20th century. When I researched this later, I discovered that it was, in fact, invented to describe the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a horrible event, unprecedented, and one that will hopefully never be repeated. And as I looked at the other examples, they just didn’t seem to fit the definition, probably because they were not as horrible or shocking as the event that “genocide” was first used to describe.
