==Jonah article==
The idea is to do a chapter by chapter series of articles on the whole Bible, and Jonah is a start; but it's still experimental, so its going to be limited to Jonah, ch.1. The idea I have for it is to have some sort of brief commentary to start it off, possibly including factual evidence (in Jonah's case, Ninevah; similar fish tales, etc), but specific for that chapter. The remainder would have the text of the chapter itself. I already have four translations; there should be the ancient ones, plus what is familiar to us.
But it's experimental for now; other issues could shelve the project, such as size of ach one, or if CP becomes a Bible-wiki of sorts. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 07:50, 29 November 2007 (EST)
== Exam ==
"Greg", I don't know if you've left yet, but I'm increasingly skeptical of your 34/35 exam paper and your claim to credit a "liberal" teacher. I'll give you an opportunity to retract it gracefully or give me the name of your high school teacher so I can personally congratulate him. I expect you'll be doing the former, or leaving this site. Thanks and Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:53, 2 December 2007 (EST)
:Mr. Schafly, I do not understand the reason my score is doubted. I used no dishonest methods to obtain the score, and do not wish to retract it. While my teacher describes himself as a "yellow dog Democrat," he is always sure to warn us when he is telling us fact, and when he is stating opinion. Regardless of his political affiliation, he is undoubtedly one of the best teachers I have ever had. I will speak with him today, though I doubt he is able to contact anyone other than my parents about me. I have a busy afternoon after school, but will either attempt to have him contact you, or update you on the situation late tonight. Thanks, [[User:GregLarson | Greg]] 07:11, 5 December 2007 (EST)
:: I don't buy it. I compared the 34 answers that you got right to the one you missed and it doesn't make sense to me. It would be like someone solving numerous difficult integrals yet missing a question about 2+2=4. Your explanation for this implausibility also struck me as a bit too cute. And what are the odds that are actually taking a government class that covered the same material by November? Slim to none, in my view.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:01, 8 December 2007 (EST)
:::I must have misread the question or answer choices, as it really ''was'' a fairly simple question. As for the calculus metaphor, I did not earn a perfect score on a recent calculus test because I randomly changed a sign while taking a derivative! I am not immune to making simple mistakes from time to time.
:::My mentioning that my teacher was a liberal was not offered as an explanation for my error; regardless of someone's political affiliation, they would not teach that the Supreme Courts' deference to the President on foreign policy was an example of checks and balances. An example of the separation of powers, but certainly not a "check" or "balance."
:::As for your class and my class covering the same material, I would think that should be somewhat expected. I assume that your class is AP-level, as your userpage indicates the extremely high level of coursework you demand from your students, as well as their remarkable scores on standardized tests. If this is the case, then the two classes are designed for the same exam, and overlapping content would make sense. I have also previously covered some of the information in my AP US History course with the same teacher.
:::I apologize for my delayed responses, finals are coming up soon and school has therefore begun to take up an incredible amount of time. When the semester is over, I hope to be able to return to Conservapedia and re-earn any trust I may have lost. I have enjoyed my time here as an editor and reader, and have learned a great deal. I would like to direct you [[User_talk:Aschlafly/Archive24#I_have_a_question|here]], where you told me not to "read a book to learn, but write a book to learn." While here I have done just that, and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to do so. [[User:GregLarson | Greg]] 20:22, 10 December 2007 (EST)
:: "Greg", you've haven't convinced me one bit. I know that [[liberals]] take delight in [[deceit]]. I've given you an opportunity to call off the prank, celebrate however you like, and admit the truth. That's for your sake, not mine. The truth shall set you free. It's worked wonders for me and everyone who gives the truth a chance.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:06, 10 December 2007 (EST)
