Mezquita Controversial 2

Mezquita Controversial

Yo no estoy a favor de la mezquita, porque la Zona Cero es un lugar muy sensible para muchas personas y los musulmanes deben comprender eso. La construcción de una mezquita no sería muy irrespetuoso. Se puede construir en otro lugar. Además, el Islam es una religión muy intolerante. Así que ¿por qué están llamando a la gente que no está a favor de la mezquita, intolerante? No todos los musulmanes son terroristas, obviamente, pero inspirado en el Islam de los atentados terroristas. Mi opinión es que no quiero una iglesia islámica cerca del sitio de las torres. No es su trabajo para "hacer la paz" y esta no es la manera de hacerlo. Nadie puede borrar el pasado. Sé que muchos musulmanes tienen buenas intenciones, pero no estoy seguro que la gente la construcción de la mezquita de hacer.

"El río Amazonas, en riesgo de secarse"

The point of this article is that, to much of the population's horror, the Amazon River might be "drying out." This is indicated by the fact that it has a much lower volume of water and, in addition, the summer heat is more intense than ever before this year. The Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology, and Environmental Studies (IDAEM) sent out a warning that the Amazon decreased from 15 meters to 6 meters in only two weeks in certain areas. A prominent and serious issue related to the potential drought of the Amazon River is the idea that huge ships loaded with traded goods, imports and exports, will not be able to reach the places that they need to. The river happens to be a very cheap form of transportation of goods. Peru and Ecuador are probably the most affected by the situation. The number of tourists (and thus economic profit from them) has vastly decreased because the attraction is clearly not as appealing as it was before. Though I agree with their efforts to clean up the water and remove its garbage and debris, it won't do much for the actual issue. Luckily, people speculate that the river should ultimately recover by the arrival of winter.

"Serra, a 24 puntos de Dilma, afirma que su derrota electoral es 'una hipótesis remota'"

It's indicated by the article that Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won an election against his opponent Jose Serra, during the second round to determine who will become President. However, though it was clear that da Silva was far more ahead than Serra in terms of votes, Serra kept an open mind, claiming "I'm gonna be president." He did not let a small defeat bring him down, claiming it to be "remote as there is." It's almost as if he's behaving as if the polls did not exist at all. In a sense it's a good idea to keep an open mind in terms of these things, but Serra might be pushing in that he's expecting the best, which at times can be a recipe for disaster.
