Why do people break the law? That is a question we all ask all the time. There is no much doubt that some people break the law such as shoplifting out of desperation‚ especially when food is concerned. Yet the same crime also attracts the attention of organised gangs who steal to order and cost stores hundreds of millions each year and to gain respect and fear from the others.

3 May 2012 Why People Hate Musicals There are many different reasons why people could hate musicals. Maybe they had a bad time at the theatre once and that scarred their outlook on musicals forever. Many people think that musicals are “gay” and they don’t want to see guys “prancing” around on stage. Some people cannot stand the fact that people are singing instead of talking. Whatever their reason for disliking musicals is‚ they’re wrong. I’m only joking. Everyone has the right to his or

race is made up of people of all kinds‚ from all walks of life‚ don’t you agree? From different nationalities‚ religions‚ genders‚ ethnicities‚ races to lifestyles‚ philosophies and classes.

Besides that it’s also generally known that we are more flexible

love the scent so much‚ since many seem to protest it whenever they wear it‚ but to me‚ sunscreen is the aroma of memories and hard work. It mixes with the memories of ocean waves crashing against the shore‚ or the playful screams and splashes of children in a pool. It reminds me of deep breaths and dripping sweat as I climb that final hill to the top of the mountain. It reminds me of relaxing with a book in my hands by a lake‚ the hot summer sun shining through the leaves of a majestic tree. It reminds

Antarctica can be seen as the world’s largest laboratory. Science is one of the most important reasons as to why we venture into this barren desert‚ and we have made and continue to make important scientific discoveries in the Antarctic. We have made discoveries like: How the atmosphere and the oceans ‘work’ and how they are linked‚ how much Antarctica has moved etc. Old explorers like made the first journeys across the vast continent and became ingrained into history books for doing so.
