I assume you are referring to my assertion that the Bible does not forbid kilts? I will try to back that one up.

*That's just silly. Come on. You're not taking Conservapedia seriously. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:20, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Come on... if you wanted it to be serious you should have named it Seriouspedia...

Equal Rights Amendment

2007-03-13T18:56:25Z

Rotifer: adding "to the US constitution"

The so-called Equal Rights Amendment was an amendment to the [[United States Constitution | United States Constitution]] passed by Congress in 1972 and sent to the states for ratification within a deadline of seven years. The amendment, which was untitled, stated:

SECTION 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of [[sex | sex]].

SEC. 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

SEC. 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

The purpose and effect of the Amendment would be to prohibit any legal distinctions between men and women, and boys and girls. An all-male draft or male-only combat regimens would presumably become illegal. Same-sex marriage would presumably become legal. Taxpayer funding of abortion would likely become mandatory. Equal representation of boys and girls on sports teams, and perhaps even the termination of all-boys or all-girls sports teams or publicly funded schools, could be required. Any legal distinction you can imagine between males and females would be banned.

35 out of 38 states passed this amendment, but opposition led by Phyllis Schlafly then defeated it. Congress then extended the deadline to 1982 in legislation that a court later invalidated, but no more states passed the amendment in the additional three years anyway. Several states rescinded their prior passage of the amendment.

Talk:Terrorism

2007-03-13T09:22:54Z

Rotifer:

Here's the definition as of March 13, 2007: "Terrorism is a term used to refer to violence (usually against civilians) instigated to further a certain political or ideological goal."

That's obviously not a good definition, unless you want to include ''all'' armed action. By saying ''usually'' against civilians, violent action against armies is not ruled out as a form of terrorism. For example, by that definition George Washington's fight at Valley Forge would be considered terrorism (because it was violent and it sought to further a political goal). I assume that's not what the person who wrote that definition intended.

It's also not a good definition because it seems some terrorist violence is not intended to further political or ideological goals. For instance, were the Aum Shinrikyo sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway a form of terrorism, and if so, what political or ideological goal did they support? --[[User:Rotifer|Rotifer]] 05:22, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
