Christianity

2007-03-12T13:32:45Z

Critic: /* Controversy */

'''Christianity''' is a [[religion]] that follows the teachings of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], as described in the books of the [[New Testament]]. It is currently the world's largest religion, with over two billion members. Some forms of Christianity posits that anyone who does not accept Jesus Christ as their personal lord an savior will end up in hell. This means that at least two-thirds of the people alive today will go to hell.<ref>http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html</ref> Other forms say that [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] is the ultimate judge of who goes to Heaven or Hell.<ref>http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/second-coming-of-christ.htm</ref>

== Beliefs ==
Christians believe that [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] died for their sins and rose from the dead three days after dying. Because of this Christians believe that they must be "born again" spiritually by confessing their sins, taking [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] as their personal lord and savior, and trying not to sin again.

Not all Christians and Christian denominations share the same set of beliefs. According to a Harris poll from 2003 <ref>http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=359</ref> 99% of all American Christians believe in God, 96% in the resurrection of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], 93% in [[Heaven| Heaven]], 93% in the [[Virgin Birth|virgin birth]], 92% in survival of the soul after death, 82% in [[Hell|Hell]], 50% in [[Ghosts|ghosts]], 27% in [[Astrology|Astrology]] and 21% in [[Reincarnation|reincarnation]]. Note, that the latter two beliefs are in opposition to the religous dogma of many Christian [[Christian denominations|denominations]].

== Controversy ==
Some Christians, mostly fundamentalist Christians believe that [[abortion]], [[homosexuality]], sex out of marriage, and the theory of evolution are wrong.This view in its self is wrong and unchristian and has caused much political debate. It should be noted that fundamentalist Christians are the minority.

Kangaroo

2007-03-12T13:26:48Z

Critic: /* Origins */

[[Image:Kangaroo-bree.png|right|Eastern Gray Kangaroo (''Macropus giganteus'')]]

'''Kangaroos''' are the largest [[Marsupials]] alive today. They currently are native to the continent of [[Australia]]. There are four different sub-kinds in the kangaroo [[baramin]]: the Western Gray Kangaroo, the Eastern Gray Kangaroo, the Red Kangaroo, and the Antilopine Kangaroo.

==Description==

Kangaroos have large ears on top of their small heads, a long snout, and short arms with clawed fingers. Their legs are strong and powerful, good for leaping. Their feet have four toes at the end of elongated metatarsi that they rest on when standing. They also have a powerful, thick tail that is used as support when standing, a third-leg when walking slowly, and for counterbalance while leaping. Like all Marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch on their stomachs in which they carry their young.

===Diet===

Kangaroos are [[herbivores]], eating grass, roots, and shrubs. They have a chambered stomach similar to [[sheep]] and [[cattle]]. They are able to regurgitate their food, chew it again as [[cud]], and then swallow it for digestion.

===Social Order===

Kangaroos travel in [[mob | mobs]] of about ten or more males and females. The leader of the mob, called a "boomer", is a male determined by age and size. The boomer has access to females in his mob for mating and will wander around the mob intimidating any other males who try to mate with his harem.

===Reproduction===

Male kangaroos will go around the mob checking the females’ [[cloaca]]. Many times, males are rejected by the females because of size if they are small. In other cases, if a larger male is checking a female out, she may just move away. Sometimes, when a male is checking out a female, the female will urinate for the male, who will sniff the urine. Some studies show that this ritual is for the male to see if the female kangaroo is receptive to him or not.

If the female is responsive to the male, she raises her tail and the male will follow her. Sometimes the kangaroos will scratch each other’s tails or the male will give the female a back rub before mating. When the female is ready to mate she will arch her tail.

Female kangaroos usually only have one baby kangaroo (called a "joey") at a time. The newborn joey weigh as little as .03 ounces when first born, after which it crawls into its mothers pouch where it will nurse, grow, and develop. They spend a lot of time in their mothers pouch developing. The Red Kangaroo joey will stay in their mothers pouch for about eight months and Gray Kangaroo joeys stay in there for about a year.

==Origins==

According to the origins theory model used by [[creation science | creation scientists]], modern kangaroos, like all modern animals, originated in the [[Middle East]]<ref>[http://biblicalstudies.qldwide.net.au/cs-kangaroos_dinosaurs_and_eden.html "Kangaroos, Dinosaurs, and Eden"], Ken Ham.</ref> It has not yet been determined by [[baraminology | baraminologists]] whether kangaroos form a [[holobaramin]] with the [[wallaby]], [[tree-kangaroo]], [[wallaroo]], [[pademelon]] and [[quokka]], or if all these species are in fact [[apobaramin | apobaraminic]] or [[polybaramin | polybaraminic]].

Other views on kangaroo origins include the belief of some Australian [[aborigines]] that kangaroos were sung into existence by their ancestors during the "[[Dreamtime]]" <ref>[http://www.painsley.org.uk/RE/signposts/y8/1-1creationandenvironment/c-abor.htm "An Aborigine Creation Story"]</ref> and that kangaroos and the other marsupials evolved from a common marsupial ancestor which lived millions of years ago.<ref>http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEPC/WWC/1995/australia.html</ref>

Gun

2007-03-12T11:40:09Z

Critic:

Gun

The staple food source for everyone hailing from memphis, alabama or any other red neck hick town. The gun was primarily invented by John J Gaybell and was invented to cure his intolerable issues with his black next door neighbour (crooks) giving him grief.
John J Gaybell was also acredited to the invention of such household items as the banjo, cotton and slavery. In his spare time he also created the ulti-dild (the answer to his ever oppressive loneliness).
Nowadays gun have been used for robberies, assault and the killings of innocent civilians. In the first week of the Iraq skirmish half of all american forces were wiped out due to friendly fire and the other half were merciliessly slapped up by the taliban. Donald Rumswfield declared " I don't what happened either we all died and won, none of us died but we lost or some of us died and the rest had a party.
The future for the gun is to create a friendly-fire proof weapon designed for daft yanks who use them for scracthing there caveman like humps.

Iraq

2007-03-12T11:24:50Z

Critic:

{{stub}}
A [[Middle East|Middle-Eastern]] country, invaded in 2003 and currently occupied by a U.S.-led coalition. Following an illegal invasion, condemned by the international community. The alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction have not, as yet, been located, despite Donald Rumsfeld still having the receipts.

The Occupation has been beset by scandal and outrage, with the horrendous and unjustifiable abuse of Iraqi citizens in torture camps, and the descent of the country into civil war, leading to the rise of unmoderated Religious extremism.

[[Category:Countries]]

Iraq, the best country in the world, famous for its military, high qualioty uranium and the site for George W Bush secret penthouse. Home of the world class Taliban tigers baseball team who each year give america a good wooping in the super league.

Korea

Critic:

A counrty that is now spilt because of the issue of communism. The United States went to war with North Korea (the communist half) from 1950-53, to help South Korea, the half which had been assaulted first. It is known as the [[Korean War]].

[[Category:Countries]]

Korea, the best democracy in the world, beats america in all sectors especially military.

I agree....what a powerless waste of time! [[User:David R|David R]]

Assuming arguendo that the United Nations is actually an effective organization, it’s still pernicious. The underlying theory that the UN is built upon is that the world can achieve peace, security and prosperity through unified world government; however, that logic completely contradicts the principle of separation of powers. In America, the way that separate, but equal branches of government check and balance each other is one of the greatest strengths of our system of government. The checks and balances in our system of government are quite effective at preventing any faction of the government from gaining absolute power and behaving tyrannically. By unifying national governments, the UN takes a large step towards abolishing the separation of powers that truly creates peace, security, and prosperity. EWJ

Yeah, only the US can keep the rest of the world from messing up. Next time, let's invade Europe. Silly Eurotrash. :)

What good can we do by being absent? If we can do one iota of good, it's worth staying.--[[User:Sub Zenyth|Sub Zenyth]] 23:57, 6 March 2007 (EST)

It seems like there is some confusion regarding the UN. Separation of powers doesn't apply, because in theory the UN has seperate branches of government that institute checks and balances, namely the existence of the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Secretariat and the World Court. Moreover the basis of modern international relations lies in the anarchy between countries, since there is no powerful world government to force countries to abide by agreements they make with each other. The UN helps provide some of basis of this, since going against the UN is embarrassing for powerful countries and dangerous for weak ones. Finally, since the US has a veto on the Security Council in never needs to worry about the UN hurting American interests. --[[User:Jamesdoe|Jamesdoe]] 22:33, 9 March 2007 (EST)

The United States doesn't pay in the money they're supposed to; they're too busy incurring debt over a failed war in Iraq. In addition, their vetoes on the security council hurt people. If you don't believe me, just ask Rwanda. A multinational force could have done a lot more to help Rwanda, but the US would not support it, and now 800 000 people are dead for no reason. The US is far more concerned with "American Interests" than with the welfare of the world. --[[User:TrueGrit|TrueGrit]] 12:14, 11 March 2007 (EST)

Gun Control

2007-03-12T11:16:21Z

Critic:

'''Gun control''' is the regulation of [[gun]] ownership and the right to carry, conceal, or use [[firearm]]s by governments. Such measures can range from a total prohibition on civilian ownership and possession of firearms and ammunition to specific restrictions on certain firearm features, "waiting periods" for gun purchases, licensing of gun owners, registration of firearms, etc. Increased "gun control" is generally promoted by [[liberals]] as a remedy to [[crime]]. In fact, whether or not guns are officially controlled by the government criminals will commit crimes and a black market will exist to provide them with firearms. For instance, despite the prohibition of handgun ownership in the [[United Kingdom]], an island nation without any neighboring "gun culture" nations, handgun crime has been steadily increasing there for many years. As of 2005/06, the total deaths by shooting in the UK had increased to 50<ref>http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs07/hosb0207.pdf</ref>, however it should be noted that this figure has dropped to it's lowest rate in the last five years <ref>http://www.gun-control-network.org/GF05.htm<ref>. this is compared to an unchrisitian 11,350 in 2005 in the USA<ref>http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html</ref>

The "right to keep and bear arms" is an individual right guaranteed to the American citizen by the Bill of Rights through the virtue of a selective reading of said bill. "A Well regulated militia" precedes that statement and somehow it seems unlikely that the Founding Fathers had machine-guns and rocket-launchers on their minds when they wrote those words.
