shootz-stah-fohl
Nazi Germany's most powerful military force, and also Hitler's prefered guard. They had their own ranking system as well. They were, and still are, referred to as the SS.
According to a certain WWII Germany-related website, the SS were soldiers of a code of honor. Very few or none had any relation to The Holocaust (yeah right, lookit Untersturmfuhrer Amon Goeth). Some ancestors of the SS claim that their grandfathers, who served in the SS, fought solely for their country. Interesting stuff to think about (?).

"They were powerful soldiers; we should give'em that. But the idea that the SS had 'little or no relations to The Holocaust' is something that will probably be questioned for a very long time. I don't prefer to talk about this because, seeing as how 'nazi' is such a POWERFUL word, anyone would think I'm a nazi just for the slightest compliment toward a german soldier during WWII. Damn conclusive bastards..."

SLBM
"There're warheads that can be launched from submarines and airplanes as well. But ICBM's are supposedly the better bet because, for example, aircraft-launched ballistic missiles are said to not guarantee a hit, or something like that. Maybe the same goes for SLBM. I dunno; I'm no nuclear weapons expert."

gene therapy
The process of being able to transplant genes with new genes that are supposed to improve physical capability.
With the completion of the Human Genome Project, we can now detect genes that cause certain things. If we find a gene that causes illness or cancer, we can remove that and replace it with something better! That's just one of many examples of what gene therapy will do for us! ^.^

Cold War
February 28th, 1946
to
December 25th, 1991
Basically, the Cold War was a race on ALL scales, between the two rivals : America and the Soviet Union. Both of these nations were the strongest in the nation. The Cold War essentially began after WWII. As mentioned before, the Cold War (which received its name because it was a war with negotiations and words, not actual combat) was a race on all scales, but one particular scale was on nuclear weapons. Other races included to become the strongest military, and even to be able to travel the stars (the Soviets put Sputnik in orbit of Earth, but the Americans were the first ones to land on the moon).
The Cold War was thee war that truly determined the fate of the free world. Perhaps the world was created to be what it is now because of the Cold War. But America won the Cold War, and the flags of freedom, and capitalism, would fly all over the world. Mother Russia is now in shambles because of not only our involvements, but also the courses they ran until they realized they were wrong.

"....nowadays I use this term to refer to an argument I have with someone online. If I met that person in real-life, I'd probably wail on him, or her. My last cold war was on February 6th, two days before my birthday; it was hellish because some bitch said lies to my sister. I won....but I was only lucky."
