GAY MARRIAGE Nowadays a lot of religious thoughts and a lot of traditional and legal prohibitions exist for a problem that the world has. Since a few years ago in our world, homosexuals couples are more and more, making in a lot of countries to legalize marriage between two people of the same sex, in both case man and man, or girl and girl; but this thing is good to the correct way to the Development of the world or we are changing the natures law? There are a lot of things to see before take a decision to this problem but this a reality that the world is feeling day by day. If we see with the church’s eyes, it is to bad do that thing, because God, made men and women in a perfect way, to both continue and increase the human race; the church is the principal opponent to this new problem; but we don can give the orders to that people because we don’t know the believers of they, so if they don’t are in religious church, they can marriage but no through the church. It is obvious that the church doesn’t want accept this thing, because then are changing the “desires of God”, but in our times there’s a lot of news that put the church in bad situation like the Judas Gospel or the Supposition of the mystery and marvelous Jesus gospel, so the church can prove that gay marriage is a sin in God’s eyes, and people around the world are more against the church with these new findings, so the church can prove if God can be against with this weddings. Something important to say is that not all religious disagree with that kind of weddings; for example, Buddhists agree with it.
Jodo Shinshu, the dominant form of Buddhism in Japan (with a significant presence in the United States), states "there is no basic difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality" [7]. In accordance with that principle it offers religious rites for same-sex couples. This tradition of accepting same-sex relationships dates back to ancient Japan with only a brief discontinuance during the early 1900s (when Western nations suggested a proscription).[1]
In the other hand we have the legal part of the problem, in the actuality much of countries are legalize the marriage of gays but in others don’t, there are many bad points to see, the first and the more important is that this couples want to adopt little babies, and the question is if they can give to the baby a good education? This is a thing that never can approve, because a little baby needs the two sexes, father and mother, to have a good education, and is a reality that sons of separated fathers in mostly case have problems during his life so will be more difficult the education of adopts sons of homosexuals because is to difficult to understand that people and more hardest to a baby; but in a lot of states of USA and little part of Canada the adopting of homosexual people is legal.
“the U.S. California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Washington state, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. allow adoption by openly gay and lesbian couples. [2] [3] Florida is the only state that completely prohibits adoption by same-sex couples. Mississippi, Oklahoma, Colorado and Utah all make same-sex adoption virtually impossible. Critics of anti-gay adoption policies also point out that in many of the states that have bans on adoption by same-sex couples, homosexuals are still able to act as foster parents.”[2]
Other point to see in the legal part is that a lot of that people have bad habits because exist a big valuation of people infected with AIDS and other diseases, in lot of cases are not couples if not more of two person, so is badly to the people around the world that this illness continue propagating infecting innocent peoples. There are many unlawful places in different parts of the world where these people make sexual orgies and consumed drugs, for this reason and others ones, they have a terrible reputation to the world. Is important taking in count the human rights of free expression, to this people is to important have a little place in the human society and been accept like any other person having the same rights like any other, but is to important too, that this people try to behave in good way making good things to the world, and don’t making in a dangerous place to live, homosexual marriage can be accepted under the right of free expression, but it is obvious that the humanity is changing little by little and this changing most pass in a slow way because the people in the world are critical ones.

“ARAB-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT AND USA”
In order to be able to understand with greater clarity the conflict Arab-Israeli, it is necessary to transfer us to the existing data in its history, where we can be with some key points to include/understand like began the conflict by the control of the "Saint Earth". In the years of the saint age, the Hebrews inhabited the zone of Palestine, but the pressure of the Egyptians imposed exile. After few times the people decided to return. After Jesus’ birth, Jerusalem falls under the Roman empire removed from their earth; the judges began the "Diaspora", another great exile were divided in different zones from the Mediterranean Sea.
In actuality this war of the past have been yet a lot of consequences for the entire world, not only Arab and Palestinians are interest to fix the problem, high potency like United States of America are interest, that country promote the first step for the solution, trying to negotiate with both parts to divided the field in two same ones; but that idea was too critiqued for other countries, and motivate of jokes. "It is also ironic that the U.S. is trying to port y the Palestinians as the intransigent party. Arafat already conceded 78 percent of the original Palestine to Israel--well beyond the 51% promised to the Jewish state in the 1947 UN partition plan--in the 1993 Oslo Accords. The Clinton administration is effectively saying that even the 22% of Palestine remaining outside Israel's internationally recognized borders is too much for the Palestinians to have" (Zunes).

— Stephen Zunes, Clinton Peace Proposal a Non-Starter , the Progressive Response, Volume 4, Number 47, December 19, 2000.
that article show us in clearly words the consecuences of that american idea in the war zone. Its obvious that countries like United State are prejudicie because that war are affecting the economy of a lot of potency in the world, for this reason is the interest for USA to find a solution for this war.
Day by day the world is more and more dangerous. People don’t want to go out because in whatever place can be affected with diferents terrorist attacks, the conflict of that countries is not only the religion, economics facts are the guiltys ones too, like oil, the mideast is zone of the earth that is too rich minerals and especial with oil, that thing is all the interest that USA have in this conflict, a consecuences that USA had with this conflict was the enemys that the country won, the power and the ambicious made that the presiden Bush take bad decision putting USA in the midlle of the war. All of us know the tragedy that New York and the entire world feel when the twin buildings fall down in September 11, 2001; USA always tried to accused Afghanistan by this attemp but the reason for this fact was that USA don’t want that trucks of the international alimentary help go to the country, leaving a lot of people that depends of that help without food to eat, this fact made that Afghanistan was angry and the more powerful man in the military of that country Bin Laden, decided attack United States of America, using bomber suicide, the afghans kidnap three airplanes of a different companies, traveling for all the Atlantic ocean arriving to New York, two of that planes crash the twins buildings making New York in a big black cloud, and the other one traveled to Washington and crash with the symbolical military building of USA the Pentagon, Hurting the national American pride.
I see all the victim’s faces and cannot believe that every one of them has lost their lifes. Last three years I am trying to wake up and see 9/11 was only terrible nightmare, but it was real. I see picture of Meredith, this young and beautiful lady and this hard to understand she never smile again. I want to say my sympathy to Meredith’s family.
Meredith was an innocent person that died in this terrible terrorist attack and this cited was the ones of a thousand that people write to the victim’s family (http://www.september11victims.com/september11victims )..
To conclude, the war in the Mideast is the symbol of different in the world, that affects not only Arab and Palestinians people, if not the entire world. We most understand that a third world war is not a impossible thing, in nowadays that fact can destroy the entire world.

Isnt money, isnt power is only the religion, since a lot of centuries ago the middle west are in long war, the diferents of theird faiths and the diferents idealism of that two countries makes that all the old continent fell fear.

but the problem is that arab doesnt believe in existence of jewish and Without Arab recognition of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, any “peace process” is obviously doomed to failure.

I always remember when i think in carnivals is the disorder, people drunks in the streets too dirtys and without shirts.

Another think that i remenber is all the artist that comes too sing in the beer festival like sergio vargas, silvestre dangond and others; but theres a think that i dont like is when guys start to fight and hurts another innocent people, making carnivals too dangerous.
the carnivals for me is the exuse for do the thing that the "costeños" like, disdorder, because the culture and the dances, doesnt matter to the people, the carnivals make barranquilla a diferent city like the others.

Our carnival is the second most popular in the entire world, people from diferent places of the world arrive to barranquilla too see this biggest party.
the beginning of that disorder, start 2 weeks before the real carnivals, the guacherna have a lot of tradition because is the parade that call the people to dance.
