Cybar Missile Crisis Textbook Passage
After the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Soviet Union gave Cuba more weapons. In October 1962, President Kennedy leamed
that the Soviets were secretly building missile bases on the island. If the bases were completed, atomic missiles could
reach American cities within minutes. Kennedy announced that American warships would stop any Soviet ship carrying
missiles. The world waited tensely as Soviet ships steamed toward Cuba. At the last minute, the Soviet ships turned back.
“We're eyeball to eyeball,” said Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and I think the other fellow just blinked." Kennedy's
strong stand led the Soviets to compromise. Khrushchev agreed to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba. In turn, the United
States promised not to invade the island. Still the Cuban missile crisis had shaken both American and Soviet officials. In
all the years of the Cold War, the world never came closer to a full-scale nuclear war|

in 1897, pershing became a tactical officer at west point, and that's where he was given the nickname "black jack." pershing's first name is "john," for which "jack" is a nickname, and he was a white man who commanded black troops. hence "black jack".

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
