The story of the ten commandments
Recently, an amendment was unanimously adopted, according to which it is allowed to place works of art with the text of the Ten Commandments on them on public property.
Every year before Easter the famous American actor Charlton Heston appears before millions of American television viewers as Moses, descends from Mount Sinai, unleashes righteous wrath on the infidel Jews, and with one blow breaks the heavy stone tablets containing Divine revelation.
This movie. The film, entitled The Ten Commandments, was produced by Paramount Pictures in 1956 and directed by Cecil DeMille, and has since been regularly shown on television.
Despite the fact that many thousands of years ago the real tablets were indeed broken, today for more than 50 years 4,000 of their granite copies, three meters high and weighing more than a ton, adorn public places In many American states. They may be removed soon. In December 2000, the Chicago Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that placing a monument reading “I am the Lord thy God” in front of the City Council building was religious propaganda and unconstitutional.
The city authorities did not remove the tablets, but instead filed an appeal to Supreme Court USA, where on April 12 they were unexpectedly supported by the Attorney General of Alabama, speaking on behalf of his own and six other states.
The issue is currently being considered in legislative assemblies eight states. On last week The Alabama State Senate unanimously passed an amendment to the state Constitution that would allow the installation of works of art with the text of the Ten Commandments on them on public property.
How did it all start? In the early 1950s, the two initiators of the project, director Cecil DeMille and Minnesota juvenile judge Ruegemer, had a dual goal: to publicize the film and to urge citizens to adhere to biblical standards.
— The commandments are not just religious law. These are excellent standards of behavior that anyone can follow, regardless of their religion, says 98-year-old Judge Rügemer today.
He recalls a case when in 1946 a 16-year-old teenager was brought to him, detained for careless driving. While reading a moral to the offender, Judge Rugemer mentioned the Ten Commandments and was shocked to hear the teenager ask, “What is this?”
The judge handed down a suspended sentence, according to which the guy had to “learn by heart and try to keep the Ten Commandments.” Then Rügemer, concerned about the state of mind of young people, decided that the text of the commandments should be placed in schools and courts where cases of minors were heard. He secured the consent of a Catholic priest, a Protestant clergyman and a rabbi and found sponsors.
Meanwhile, in Hollywood, DeMille was preparing to film a sound version of The Ten Commandments, which he had released in silent form in 1923. He heard about Judge Rügemer's initiative and called him. De Mille proposed making inscriptions not on paper, but on bronze tablets and placing them in parks.
“I said, then why don’t we do it on granite slabs, since the real tablets were made of granite?” - the judge recalls. - He agreed.

And finally, a joke:
On the way out of Alabama, a tourist sees a sign at a roadside post: “Don’t miss the opportunity to last time fill up with twenty-eight cent gasoline!” Stops.
While the boy is filling up his tank, the tourist is interested in the price of gasoline in the neighboring state.
“24 cents a gallon,” the boy replies.

To begin with, it would be good to define what is meant. What does "the most evil animal" mean? From what position should we consider this very anger and what it even is?
If you adhere to the generally accepted rules of expressing emotions, then anger is a completely normal reaction to dissatisfaction, with frustration (frustration is defined as mental condition, when it is impossible to satisfy certain needs), or, more simply put, a discrepancy between possibilities and desires. Frustration is deception, failure. We can say that this is “useful, healthy anger”, serving the development of character and allowing you to fight for food sources, for your hunting territory, safety and procreation. It is precisely this anger that numerous representatives of the animal world possess, and it is thanks to it, thanks to the ability to survive in various, sometimes very critical conditions, that such diversity of the animal and plant world has been preserved.

This " Tasmanian devil
Lives in Australia, on the island of Tasmania. It owes its name to the name of the island. The devil got his nickname from the pioneers who inhabited the island.

The black color and loud screams at night served as the name for this animal. The devil is very voracious, and eats his prey (mammals, fish, roots) whole, along with the skin and claws. Doesn't disdain carrion either.

Bears have some of the most unpleasant personalities in the animal kingdom.. While the grizzly bear immediately comes to mind as the most ferocious and dangerous bear, in reality, he is just a gentle giant compared to the real black sheep in the line of bear bandits. With the weight of everything 65 kilograms and body length 1.5 meters The Asian Malayan bear is the smallest bear species in the world, and the most ferocious, with the largest teeth in proportion to body size.

Some consider him to be the most ferocious jungle creature. Unfortunately for tropical forests, this magnificent predator is endangered.

Opinions about the danger of a wolf to humans are very contradictory. Soviet and Russian zoologist M.P. Pavlov cites many facts of wolf attacks on humans. In a significant proportion of these cases, rabid animals attacked, but there are many cases of attacks by completely healthy wolves. Pavlov draws attention to the fact that in the territory former USSR most of these cases relate to a few specific regions and conclude that wolves are aggressive towards humans mainly in places poor in natural prey.

The bite of the most ferocious fish has the most great strength of all sharks, and is 6000 newtons.

Large quantity cases of attack polar bears people are not registered not because they are good-natured, but because their habitat is far from densely populated regions. In fact, these bears have quite aggressive character, and this explains why they are at the very high level the food chain tundra

Looking like a miniature bear, the wolverine is actually the largest member of the mustelid family. This stocky, iron-jawed beast is renowned for its almost demonic ferocity, which is quite disproportionate to the size of the animal. While some animal species are overtly aggressive, the wolverine expresses its aggression through an absolute lack of fear while hunting. Weighing from 15 to 30 kilograms, this overgrown weasel can kill deer, elk and mountain goat, like in the story of David and Goliath. Attacks on humans are disastrous and can lead to death, but fortunately this reclusive killer rarely encounters a person in his natural environment a habitat. Wolverines hunt wild cats, and even can challenge a bear, defending their territory.

Wild boars are a strong and sometimes very dangerous version of domestic pig. Wild boars live in forests and farmland throughout Europe and western Asia.

These animals often cause people to flee because of their extremely bad mood and a tendency to attack with a ferocious barrage of sharp fangs. Attacks wild boars can sometimes become fatal due to the strength and mass of angry animals, which can respond with force to any violation of the boundaries of their domain.

Mothers who protect their offspring are especially dangerous.

This snake can rightfully be considered the most aggressive animal. The black mamba is capable of releasing a gigantic amount of deadly poison when biting. She characterized by quick reactions and extreme aggressiveness, and usually attacks first. The black mamba is a habitat generalist, meaning that it can appear in any environment within its vast African range, including swamps, grasslands, and even villages. Unlike many animals that are simply aggressive in nature, the black mamba is driven by extreme form of fear-based aggression. Because this snake is so sensitive, the slightest threat, standing in the way of her retreat will be attacked with unprecedented cruelty.
The main aggressors among animals
It is very difficult to determine which can be called the most aggressive animal in the world, since each species exhibits aggressive behavior depending on the circumstances. Some animals are aggressive during mating season, others - when it comes to self-defense. Aggressive behavior may be associated with maternal instinct or territorial competition.
Some examples of animal combat aggression include the fight of bighorn sheep during the mating season or the hunting of antelope by a cheetah. If you make a top list of the most aggressive animals in the world, it will look like this.
1. African elephant (Loxodonta africana)
Although elephants are considered quite friendly animals, their aggressive behavior, especially among males, is very active during the mating season. Using strong fangs and long trunk, African elephants kill up to 300 - 500 people every year.
2. Rhinoceros (Rhinocerotidae)
The main contender for Africa's most aggressive animal is the rhinoceros, which is widely known for its unpredictable behavior. Despite the fact that it seems to be a lazy animal, the rhinoceros can reach speeds of up to 50 km/h, attacking intruders on its territory.
3. Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius)
Although the hippopotamus looks rather slow, it is known as one of the most aggressive animals on the planet - especially when it comes to protecting its young. Moreover, he has a fearless nature, and will not hesitate to destroy anyone who stands in his way.
4. South African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)
Weighing 1.5 tons, the buffalo represents serious danger for other animals and humans. This is one of those animals that do not tolerate strangers on their territory. The number of people killed by the South African buffalo is no less than those killed by elephants and rhinoceroses.
5. Polar bear(Ursus maritimus)
A large number of cases of polar bear attacks on people have not been recorded, not because they are good-natured, but because their habitat is far from densely populated regions. In fact, these bears have quite an aggressive nature, which explains why they are at the highest level of the tundra food chain.
6. White shark(Carcharodon carcharias)
No other species of marine animal can compare to the great white shark if we're talking about about cruelty. The sharp teeth of these truly evil creatures kill many surfers and divers every year.
7. Saltwater crocodile(Crocodylus porosus)
The saltwater crocodile is dangerous not only to humans, but to other animals that may be nearby. Thanks to enormous power, a crocodile can kill an animal even as big as a buffalo with great ease.
8. Rattlesnake(Crotalus atrox)
Found in Mexico and the USA, " Texas rattlesnake" is considered the most dangerous of the snake species. This two-meter snake ranks first in the number of deaths from its bites.
9. Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis)
In addition to its amazing speed (the black mamba is considered the fastest of snakes), this reptile is distinguished by its ability to secrete copious amounts of poison, which it injects into its prey. These qualities make it one of the most dangerous snakes.
