Cars‚ a necessary transportation tool‚ are becoming more and more significant in our modern society. Using a car is faster than taking a bus especially when time is limited. It does not have to stop as frequently as a bus‚ and at the same time‚ it is much easier to keep to a tight schedule. However‚ some people argue that cars cause a series of problems‚ such as air pollution‚ energy crisis. As far as I am concerned‚ cars have a greater beneficial effect on the society. To begin with‚ the advantage

“All guns are evil.” What a load of crap. For all the people that are against guns seem to have a lot of guns around them with other people holding them and protecting them.

Trying to understand how stupid people think huts my brain. I’m sure there could be another alternative to getting the guns off

Today‚ recycling‚ maintaining our sustainability and taking care of our environment is a big thing. While the best method is to reuse our wastes‚ this often cannot be done.

This paper explores how this passage may be informed by supplementing the Celsus’ non-extant demonology with previous views on daimones‚ all the while being mindful the Celsus has been filtered through Origen’s own Christology and demonology
