<nowiki>{{welcome}} [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 11:22, 20 April 2011 (EDT)
: Thanks for the welcome. I'm excited to work here, though I might not have enough time in the next months. I see you allready blocked the Swedish vandal.--[[User:VPropp|VPropp]] 11:46, 20 April 2011 (EDT)

== Your propsed material ==

Added Bible versus. Second, please create a section/article here [[User: VProppand/atheism-bestiality-Europe]] and focus on how/why Christianity helped greatly reduce bestiality in Europe and then I can add it. Also, if there is somewhat of a resurgence in bestiality in a Europe that is less Christianized and you can document it in a non-salacious way, then do that too. Please make sure you use reputable sources (not salacious sources) and I would prefer no pictures. Indicate on this talk page when you are done. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 15:17, 27 September 2011 (EDT)
:::VPropp, here are sources that are interesting and it relates to history: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7858632 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19239958 Also, I can check back on this web page to see if you did the article. When should I check back? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 21:20, 27 September 2011 (EDT)
:::: Hello Conservative. Thanks for the infos. I'm a bit busy right now with work. I also have to reread some history books. I hope it is ok if I use German history books? I suppose I might be able to write something at the weekend. Btw: I would be most gracious for grammar/spell checks, when I have written the articles. Thanks and à Dieu --[[User:VPropp|VPropp]] 18:43, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

==Ted Bundy==
I reverted and slightly changed the reference to his work for the Republicans in Washington, as it is part of this man's history. Still, a major expansion of the article needs to be done. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 14:16, 21 December 2011 (EST)
: Ok, I can agree with that. I mostly reverted the edits because I had doubts about the editors intentions (not using part of his real name as user name and making this his first edit...). But you are more experienced then I, when it comes to vandalism/parody. Anyway, thanks for the info.
::Bundy may have worked and/or voted GOP, but at heart he was a deceitful, despicable human being who preyed on others. He could have been something different. I totally agree with what the judge said at Bundy's sentencing to the chair: ''"It is an utter tragedy for this court to see such a total waste of humanity as I've experienced in this courtroom. You're a bright young man. You'd have made a good lawyer, and I would have loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went another way, partner. Take care of yourself."''

Grape

2012-01-06T19:23:05Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>[[Image:grapes.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A bunch of grapes. Copyright © 2003–2007 Norman Walsh.]]
'''Grapes''' are a type of [[fruit]]. They grow in bunches on grape vines. They are classified as a type of [[berry]] because they grow on vines. Grapes can be green, red, pink or purple.

Grape cultivation is called [[viticulture]]. ''Viti'' means vine in [[Latin]]. Grapes grow on long thin vines that twist around just about anything. Most commercial growers set up some type of trellis system in fields to support the vines. Trellis systems are a series of posts, sometimes with cross arms, connected by wires which the grapes twist around. This keeps the grapes off the ground and allows workers and machines easy access to the fields. Vineyards are rows and rows of grape vines trained on trellis systems. A grape vine does not produce a full crop for 3 to 4 years. It takes five years before a grape vine produces at full capacity. Vines are pruned to limit harvest so the vines reach mature size quickly. Grape clusters form in spring and are harvested in the fall. Grapes are picked by hand or by machine. Table grape and fresh grape clusters are individually picked by twisting the stem by hand or by cutting them off with a knife or pruning shears. Wine grapes can be harvested by a machine which shakes the clusters off the grape vines.

==Production==
90% of the grapes grown world wide are used in [[wine]]. Wine grapes are green and red. Grapes are also eaten fresh. Purple or white grapes are squished to make [[juice]]. [[Jam]]s and jellies are made from juice and pulp; fruit leather is made from the skin and pulp. Grape seed oil is made from the seeds. This oil is used for cosmetics and cooking. It is rated higher than extra virgin [[olive oil]]. After harvest, table grapes are sent directly to market. Wine grapes are picked into bins and sent to a [[winery]]. At the winery, the grapes are crushed. For white wine the skins and seeds are removed. The juice is put into containers to ferment. This fermentation process which creates alcohol and carbon dioxide takes 10 to 30 days or more depending on the type of wine that is produced. Then the wine is racked and all the pulp, seeds and skin are removed. The wine is put into casks or barrels to age; then it is bottled and sold.

Early grape growers tried to import European varieties to grow in North America. These vines were ruined by the cold winters and various [[disease]]s and [[insect]]s. Now European grapes are grown by grafting European grapes onto North American stock. Grapes also need to be protected from [[bird]]s. This can be done by netting the grapes, using gigantic noise machines, or using colorful streamers which frighten and annoy the birds. Fencing a vineyard is important to keep [[deer]] out. [[Rabbit]]s like young grape vines, which is why poison must be placed around the perimeter of the vineyard. [[Insecticide]]s are sometimes used to control many insects that damage grape plants.

Arianism

2012-01-06T19:21:29Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>Originating around AD 320 as taught by [[Arius]], '''Arianism''' was the [[theology|theological]] view that [[Jesus]] was divine, but was created by and is lesser than God the Father. Arianism was Christian, but was denounced as [[heresy]] by the orthodox trinitarians, or Athanasians (after Athanasius of Alexandria who argued against the Arians at the First Council of Nicaea) , who eventually prevailed. All of the writings of Arius were systematically destroyed by the Church, but historians have reconstructed his thoughts from the arguments used against them by orthodox trinitarians.

Arianism was officially condemned as incorrect by the [[Council of Nicaea]] in 325, which gave its seal of authority to the established [[Holy Trinity|trinitarian]] view. On the surface the Arian position appeared to die out, but it simmered under the surface and re-emerged after the death of the Emperor [[Constantine]] being cultivated by key bishops and a continued underground in the East. The acceptance by Constantine's son [[Constantius II]] of the Arian heresy caused many bishops under his jurisdiction in the Eastern part of the Empire to be exiled and trinitarianism was temporarily suppressed when Constantius took over the Western part of the Roman Empire as well. Even [[Pope Liberius]] was exiled. Under [[Julian the Apostate]], the next Emperor, all exiled bishops were allowed back, in part to promote infighting among Christians.<ref>http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Arianism</ref> Arianism's sudden rise dissipated when [[Valentinian]], a trinitarian became Emperor in the West followed a decade later by [[Theodius]], a trinitarian, in the East. Religious uniformity was again restored when another religious council reiterated that Arianism was a heresy (379).

Never having the numerical support of most bishops, priests or laity to begin with, Arianism died out inside the Empire almost overnight, but continued to be a threat to the Roman Empire as many of the surrounding tribes had and were accepting Christianity, but were converted with an Arian stamp.
==Barbarians==
The barbarian tribes which invaded Rome, and caused its fall in 476, were often Arians. They include the [[Visigoths]] and the [[Ostrogoths]], and especially [[Theoderic]]. Centuries passed before the trinitarians prevailed in those regions. The 5th Ecumenical Council in 553 ended the last outreaches of Arianism within greater Europe.<ref>J. Herrin, ''The Formation of Christendom.'' (1987) </ref>
==Later developments==
Arianism died out as an organized force but its ideas were known to theologians. Arianism Unitarianism in [[Renaissance]] Europe grew out of the teachings of the Italians Lelio Sozzini, or Socinus (1525-1562), and his nephew Fausto (1539-1604) during the period of the [[Protestant Reformation]]. [[Isaac Newton]] was an Arian--indeed he modeled himself after Arius--but kept it secret because heresy would cost him his official academic and government appointments.

[[Unitarian]] ideas that emerged in England and the U.S. after 1770 have many similarities to Arianism.

Samuel Morse

2012-01-06T19:20:42Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>[[Image:Morse.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Samuel Morse]]

'''Samuel Finley Breese Morse''' was born on April 27, 1791 in Charlestown, Massachusetts and died on April 2, 1872. He was the son of Jedidiah Morse, a geographer and Calvinist minister, and Elizabeth Breese.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.morsehistoricsite.org/history/morse.html |title=Samuel F. B. Morse |accessdate=2009-12-10 |work= }}</ref> Samuel Morse went to Yale College to study religious philosophy, mathematics, and the science of horses. He made money at college by painting miniatures on ivory, and wanted to pursue a career in art, but his father did not want him to. He graduated from Yale in 1810, and became a clerk in a bookstore, but continued to paint. His abilities attracted the attention of several respected artists, and he went with them to England in 1811 to study painting. When he returned home in 1815, he worked as an itinerant painter, painting historical subjects and portraits. He opened a studio Boston, and in 1826, Morse helped to found the National Academy of Design, an organization that helped secure jobs for artists, taught the art of design, and displayed artists’ work in its gallery.

In 1825, Morse was in Washington D. C. to paint a portrait commissioned by the Marquis de Lafayette, when a horse messenger delivered a letter from his father telling him that his wife was dead. Morse immediately left Washington for his home, but by the time he got there, she had already been buried. The knowledge that he was unaware for days of her sickness and death made him pursue a means of communicating information rapidly over long distances. The following year, his father died. His mother died in 1828, and Morse went on a trip to Europe in 1829 to recover from the shock. He returned in 1832, and on the voyage home, he had discussed electromagnetism with an eccentric inventor and doctor named Charles Jackson. Jackson told Morse that electricity could be carried over a very long wire, which made Morse think that there must be some way to carry messages over long distances using electric impulses instead of the slow methods used in those days. He made some sketches of an apparatus that could be used to accomplish this.

==Work on the Telegraph==
Morse returned to painting and became a professor of painting and sculpture at the University of the City of New York. He also unsuccessfully ran for mayor of New York twice. He had been working on his telegraph and had even taken out a patent. Morse had a working model of the telegraph by January 1836, and improved it with the help of a colleague, Leonard Gale. In 1837, Morse formed a partnership with Alfred Vail, who contributed money and mechanical skill. They applied for a patent, and Morse went to Europe to get patents there as well.

Morse’s first telegraph printed the message by printing a seismograph-like line on a thin strip of paper..<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.mit.edu/invent/iow/morse.html |title=Samuel F. B. Morse as MIT's Inventor of the Week |accessdate=2009-12-10 |work= }}</ref> The dips in the line had to be decoded using a dictionary written by Morse, but decoding was hard if the line was not clear. By the following year, he had made a telegraph that used an improved dot-and-dash system of [[Morse Code]] that impressed dots and dashes on paper. Different combinations of dots and dashes represented letters and numbers. The paper was decoded later by an operator. This system was better because it was easier to decode, and eventually trained operators could decode it in their heads. In 1838, Morse exhibited his telegraph to the public in New York.

In 1842, Morse got a grant from [[Congress]] for $30,000 to build and experimental [[telegraph]] between Baltimore and Washington, D. C., a distance of 40 miles. The real first message was sent on this telegraph system when the news of the [[Whig Party]]'s nomination of [[Henry Clay]] for U.S. President was telegraphed from the party's convention in Baltimore to the Capitol Building in Washington. This was the first news ever dispatched by electric telegraph. Morse’s first public message, sent on May 24, 1844, was from [[Numbers]] 23:23, “What hath God wrought!” ([[Numbers 23:23]]) The verse had been picked out by the daughter of one of his friends who had publicized Morse’s invention and secured funding for it.

Morse had difficulty being recognized as ''the'' inventor of the telegraph, as similar devices had been invented by people such as William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone. Cooke and Wheatstone’s device used multiple wires, however, and would be surpassed by Morse’s more superior method. Morse had been the first to combine the battery, electromagnetism, the electromagnet, and the correct battery configuration into a working telegraph. The United States government used Morse’s invention without being officially recognized for it, so Morse was awarded the sum of $80,000 dollars in 1858, in recognition of his invention, by the governments of France, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Tuscany, and Turkey, all of whom used his telegraph. Morse was recognized in 1871 in the United States when a bronze statue of him was unveiled in [[Central Park]] in [[New York City]].

Morse was heavily decorated by many countries. His decorations include: the decoration of the Atiq Nishan-i-Iftikhar (English: Order of Glory) [first medal on wearer's right depicted in photo of Morse with medals], set in diamonds, from the Sultan Ahmad I ibn Mustafa of Turkey (c.1847[13]), a golden snuff box containing the Prussian gold medal for scientific merit from the King of Prussia (1851); the Great Gold Medal of Arts and Sciences from the King of Württemberg (1852); and the Great Golden Medal of Science and Arts from Emperor of Austria (1855); a cross of Chevalier in the Légion d'honneur from the Emperor of France; the Cross of a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog from the King of Denmark (1856); the Cross of Knight Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, from the Queen of Spain, besides being elected member of innumerable scientific and art societies in this [United States] and other countries. Other awards include Order of the Tower and Sword from the kingdom of Portugal (1860); and Italy conferred on him the insignia of chevalier of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus in 1864.

==Work on Photography==
Morse was the first American to write an eyewitness account of Daguerre’s new photographic technology.).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.answers.com/topic/samuel-f-b-morse |title=Samuel F. B. Morse on Answers.com|accessdate=2009-12-10 |work= }}</ref> Daguerre was a Frenchman, and the inventor of the Daguerreotype, a type of photograph. Morse had been interested in photography, and had tried without success to take photographs of his own. Daguerre told Morse the secret of his new process, and Morse brought the technology back to the United States with him when he returned.

==Morse's Beliefs==
Morse was a devout [[Christian]] who was very generous and gave large sums of money to [[charity]]. He was not bitter when other people and companies made lots of money using his inventions, but did not pay him for the use of his patented telegraph. Morse was also interested in the relationship of [[science and religion]], and provided funds to start lectures on “the relation of the Bible to the Sciences.” Before his death, Samuel Morse wrote, “The nearer I approach to the end of my pilgrimage, the clearer is the evidence of the divine origin of the Bible, the grandeur and sublimity of God's remedy for fallen man are more appreciated, and the future is illumined with hope and joy.”<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amerisearch.net/index.php?date=2004-12-10&view=View |title=American Minute for April 2|accessdate=2009-12-10 |work= }}</ref>

Morse defended the institution of [[slavery]], and was a leader in the anti-Catholic and anti-immigration movement. He thought that the Austrian government and Catholic aid organizations were subsidizing Catholic immigration to the United States in order to gain control of the country.

==Contributions to Communication==
Morse made it possible to send messages across the world in a matter of seconds instead of the weeks it had taken before. He revolutionized communications and made the [[Pony Express]] obsolete. His invention was the first communications system to use electricity, a resource which is still used by all of our communications systems today (see [[e-mail]]).

LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee

2012-01-06T19:20:25Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>'''LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee''' or more formally, '''Committee on Education and Labor, Subcommittee Investigating Violations of Free Speech and the Rights of Labor''' (1933-1941) began as an inquiry into a [[National Labor Relations Board]] (NLRB) investigation of methods used by employers in certain industries to avoid [[collective bargaining]] with unions. Between 1936 and 1944, the subcommittee published exhaustive hearings and reports on the use of industrial espionage, private police systems, strikebreaking services, munitions in industrial warfare, and employers' associations to break strikes and to disrupt legal union activities in other ways. [[Robert M. La Follette, Jr.]], a [[Republican Party|Republican]] and Progressive Party Senator from [[Wisconsin]] chaired the Committee.

The Committee reported that as late as 1937 its census of working "labor spies" from 1933 to 1937 total 3,871 for the period. Private security firms like Pinkerton National Detective Agency and Burns were employed to infiltrate labor unions.

The Committee reported:
:''"Such a spy system . . . places the employer in the very heart of the union council from the outset of any organizing effort. News of organizers coming into a town, contacts the organizers make among his employees, the names of employees who join the union, all organization plans, all activities of the union—these are as readily available to the employer as though he himself were running the union".''

==Espionage on the Committee==
In 1995, with the release of the [[Venona]] project transcripts, so far as is known, no less than four American citizens, employees of the federal government, Senate staffers, illegal members of the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA) as defined by the Hatch Act of 1939, and agents of the CPUSA's secret appartus working on behalf [[NKVD|Soviet intelligence]], furthing the objectives of the [[Comintern]], were at one time or another staff members of the subcommittee.

Those agents who have been idnetified are:
*[[John Abt]], Chief Counsel to the LaFollette Committee; Assistant [[General Counsel]] of the [[Works Progress Administration]] (WPA) and in 1948 worked in the presidential campaign for former Vice President [[Henry A. Wallace]]
*[[Charles Flato]], who during [[World War II]] served on the [[Board of Economic Warfare]] (BEW) and the [[Foreign Economic Administration]] (FEA)
*[[Charles Kramer]], who served on four other congressional staffs and the NLRB
*[[Allen Rosenberg]], who served on the NLRB, BEW, and FEA

<nowiki>A '''liberal trap''' is a deceptive, and often dimwitted, question designed to elicit a response that can be taken out of context in order to criticize someone, for [[liberal]] gain.

Often a '''liberal trap''' is a question that can only be answered in a damaging way by virtually anyone, but answer is demanded of a particular person in order to try to harm him rather than to elicit meaningful information.

==Examples==
*The liberal activist [[Katie Couric]] attempted to spring a liberal trap on [[Sarah Palin]] during the 2008 Presidential campaign by asking the candidate to produce an impromptu list of newspapers she read. The question had no apparent significance, as many highly productive people lack time for newspapers, and the internet is a more efficient source of information anyway.

*Matt Lauer posed a liberal trap to former Presidential candidate [[John McCain]], asking the former POW about an allegedly insufficient vetting of Palin, his running mate. The liberal media pounced on McCain's response (he didn't know, and he didn't care). Of course had he answered affirmatively, he would have been accused of a lack of due diligence in selecting Palin, and if he had answered negatively, he would have appeared to be contradicting the claims of his own advisors. No matter how McCain answered this unfair question, he would have been opening himself to accusations.

*President Bush was asked during his campaign for reelection to identify his mistakes. His answer was portrayed as lacking in humility, but if he had more given concrete examples, then his opponents would have seized upon them to criticize Bush more.

*The socialist [[Rachel Maddow]] laid a liberal trap for US Senate candidate from Kentucky [[Rand Paul]]. During a twenty-minute "interview", Maddow did little more than ask Paul the same question over and over, interrupting him repeatedly, attempting to portray him as a racist.

Abortion statistics 2000

2012-01-06T19:19:39Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>''This page is part of the [[Conservapedia:Anti-abortion_Project]]''

Below are some statistics for abortion for the year 2000.

==United States==
In 2000, 1.31 million abortions were performed in the [[United States]]. This equates to 2.1 % of all women between 15 and 44 years-old.<ref>[http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm Abortion TV.com: Abortion Statistics]</ref>

==England and Wales==

There were 185,375 legal abortions carried out in [[England]] and [[Wales]] in 2000, a rise of 2,125 (1.2 per cent) compared with 1999.<ref>[http://www.statistics.gov.uk/pdfdir/abort0901.pdf Department of National Statistics: Abortions in England and Wales, 2000]</ref>

* The abortion rate for women resident in England and Wales in 2000 was 16.94 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44, 0.9% higher than in 1999 when the rate was 16.79 abortions per 1,000 women.
* Abortion rates increased for women aged under 34 and decreased for women aged 35 and over, in 2000. The rate increased by 0.2% for women under 20, by 2.4% for women in their twenties and by 0.4% for women aged 30-34. The rate decreased by 1.4% in the 35-44 age-group.
* Eighty-eight per cent of terminations were performed before 13 weeks of gestation and 10 per cent between 13 and 19 weeks gestation, similar to last year.

Disinformation

2012-01-06T19:19:24Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>'''Disinformation''' is deliberately spread false information. <ref>Disinformation refers to false or misleading information that is deliberately spread by a government, organized political group, an individual or other entity. The issue of intent is key; if the intent is to spread false or misleading information, it is disinformation. [http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jan/26-288268.html State Department] </ref> The term comes from the Russian ''disinformatsiya'', referring to Soviet propaganda campaigns.

The [[USSR]]'s disinformation campaign on [[AIDS]] is a classic example. The Soviet intelligence and security service, the [[KGB]], had a special service, Service A, for spreading false information. Soon after AIDS was recognized as a new disease, Service A concocted the story that the AIDS virus had been developed as a biological weapon by the Pentagon at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and was used in experiments on prisoners, which was allegedly why it initially appeared in New York, described as the largest big city near Fort Detrick. Non-Americans would be unlikely to realize that several major U.S. cities are actually much closer to Fort Detrick than New York, including Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.

Another example of disinformation is the [[Climategate]] conspiracy, where results from weather satellites were doctored in order to support the theory of [[global warming]]. This was brought to light when the University of East Anglia released several emails written by the perpetrators of the tampering.

During the [[Korean War]], [[Wilfred Burchett]] of the [[extremist|extreme]] [[leftist]] New York ''[[Guardian]]'' newspaper made false reports on American use of [[germ warfare]]. Burchett accused the Americans of perpetrating "the most monstrous crimes against humanity." He said that in germ warfare the Americans had launched upon mankind a weapon more frightful than the [[atomic bomb]]. In 1998, however, news reports noted, "...documents from Russia's Presidential Archive finally prove, more than four decades after the fact, that the United States was the victim of a disinformation campaign scripted by [[North Korea]], [[China]], and the Soviet Union." A report by [[Lavernti Beria]], head of [[Soviet intelligence]], outlined the deception: "False plague regions were created, burials . . . were organized, measures were taken to receive the plague and cholera bacillus."<ref>Bruce B. Auster, [http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/981116/archive_005192.htm ''Unmasking An Old Lie: A Korean War Charge Is Exposed As a Hoax''], U. S. News & World Report (16 November 1998), p. 52.</ref>

Faithless

2012-01-06T19:19:08Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>Being '''faithless''' describes a state where a person lacks the discipline and direction to follow [[Christ]] fully. The range of '''faithlessness''' may vary in degree from absolute [[atheism]] to simply needing guidance.

The difference between '''a faithless person''' and an [[atheist]] is that a faithless person has no strong belief in [[God]] whereas an atheist has no belief at all in [[God]]. An atheist is faithless, but a faithless person is not necessarily atheist.

Many people struggle with their [[Faith]] in God, due to the complexities of the [[universe]] and our human incapability to understand it. The way for '''a faithless person''' to rebuild their connection with [[God]] is to [[repent]] for their [[sin]] of not trusting him and to attend [[Mass]] to show they are willing to trust in God.

''Lean not on your own understanding, but trust in the LORD with all your heart.''
-Proverbs 3:5

==Examples of Faithless People==

Here is a partial (but not exhaustive) list of some faithless groups of people:

*[[Hollywood]]
*[[Liberals]]
*Several college professors
*The [[Obama]] administration
*[[Atheists]]
*[[Homosexuals]]
*Non-conservative [[MSM|media]]
*[[Evolutionists]]
*[[Global Warming]] "scientists"
*Psychopaths

==Signs of Faithlessness==

There are many signs to identify if a person is '''faithless''' or may not have a strong [[Faith]] in God. A person may outright declare their disbelief in [[God]] (in which case, one should try to direct the person back into [[Christ]]'s arms); however, sometimes less subtle clues can indicate a person's shaky standing with their relation to God. Be on the lookout for some of the following signs.

===Disregard for Sin===
A person who disregards [[sin]] in entirety and leads a hedonistic lifestyle may be at risk of being faithless. For example, a [[homosexual]] does not care that his actions are sinful perhaps because he is not confident in the existence of [[God]]. Another such example is that people who use drugs disregard that "the body is a temple". Be on the lookout for violence, sex, and other Sin; as they may indicate one has lost their direction toward [[Jesus Christ]].

===Need for Proof of God===
Many times one will try to reinforce their Faith by stating that there is undeniable proof of God. In reality, one is possibly unsure about one's [[Faith]] and is trying to make "logical" reasons to why their Faith is right. This is a dangerous part of '''faithlessness''' because the person is in denial about their disbelief in God. They will try to connect science to religion and find some trivial detail that somehow "proves" the existence of [[God]]. What they fail to realize is that one does not need proof for God: if one had Faith, they could believe in [[God]] despite all of the alleged "scientific" evidence to suggest otherwise.

===Political Protest of Religion===
Supporting doctrines like [[Separation of State and Church]] might be a cry for help. People who engage in political protest against organized religion may simply be starting to lose their [[Faith]] in God. Some claim they are [[religious]] yet do not wish to push their religion onto others; however, deep down they are trying to create a feeling that it is "okay" to question their [[Faith]].

At the same time, you can still have faith and want separation of church and state as a National church has historically led to more liberal and faithless populations (See Europe)

[http://www.mccullagh.org/db9/d30-6/inauguration-protest-athiests.jpg This man] is painfully '''faithless''' and perhaps incapable of repenting his Sins.

===Not Attending Mass===
Someone who does not go to [[Church]] regularly may be losing their relationship with God. Missing [[Mass]] is one of the first signs of '''faithlessness'''. Someone who does not attend Mass is not respecting God, perhaps because they [[atheism|refuse to believe]] in His existence. Usually, not attending Mass is a minor offense, but it may lead to greater grievances.

==Questioning One's Faith==
Questioning one's [[Faith]] is a normal aspect of any [[Christian]]'s path to understanding. How the follower deals with those natural questions and what results thereof determines whether not it aids to strengthening their [[Faith]] or strengthening their '''faithlessness'''.

Bushism

2012-01-06T19:18:55Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>'''Bushism''' is a term used which refers to the to incoherent, mispronounced, or completely fabricated words or phrases stated by [[George W. Bush]]. Bushisms include the mangling of the English language, egregious violations of grammar rules, and other odd phrases.

The sheer existence of the term "Bushism" might be taken as a sign that Bush mangles the language significantly more (or more significantly) than other politicians. However, it is well known that all politicians (and public speakers in general) have occasional slips of the tongue.

Several books books have been written on the subject. Among them Jacob Weisberger's ''"George W. Bushisms : The Slate Book of The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of our 43rd President''".

Some examples:

*"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."<ref>White House transcript, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/02/20010221-5.html February 2001]</ref>
*"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."<ref>White House transcript, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040805-3.html August 2004]</ref>
*"We had a chance to visit with Teresa Nelson who's a parent, and a mom or a dad."<ref>White House transcript, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/09/20030909-3.html September 2003]</ref>
*"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/26/AR2007092601015_pf.html Washington Post]</ref>
*"They misunderestimated me."
*"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
*"I understand small business growth. I was one."
*"Before I arrived in President, During I arrived in President."
*"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system."
*"I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the president."
*"And they have no disregard for human life."—Describing the brutality of Afghan fighters, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008

Salad

2012-01-06T19:18:43Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>'''Salad''' is a form of [[food]] composed principally of uncooked edible leaves, [[vegetable]]s, and [[fruit]] such as [[tomato]]es and [[cucumber]]s, often with the addition of [[egg]], [[cheese]], [[nut]]s, [[meat]] or [[fish]]. Salads are generally served cold, although warm salads have become popular in recent years. Examples of traditional salads are the potato salad of [[Germany]] and the green [[papaya]] salad of [[Thailand]]. A fruit salad is a mixture of chopped raw fruit. A tuna salad is made with tuna fish, onion, and [[mayonnaise]]; while a chicken salad has the same ingredients as tuna salad but with cooked chicken in place of the tuna. Salads are usually garnished with salad dressing, a liquid mixture that adds flavor and usually has a base of [[vinegar]] and [[olive oil]]. [[Slaw]]s such as [[cole slaw]] are another kind of salad, usually with a [[cabbage]] base instead of [[lettuce]]. Salad is usually praised for its high [[fiber]] and [[beta carotene]], as well as its low [[calorie]] count and [[trans fat]] content. However, these nutritional values depend on the ingredients, dressing, and quantity. Another health consideration is the frequent occurrence of [[E. coli]], [[salmonella]], and [[drosophila]] eggs in salad.

John Lewis (Georgia politician)

2012-01-06T19:18:31Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>[[Image:Lewis_john.jpg|right|thumb|Rep. John Lewis]] '''John Robert Lewis''', born February 21, 1940 (age {{age|1940|2|21}}) in Troy, Alabama, is a liberal Democratic Congressman from [[Georgia]]'s 5th congressional district in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]]. Lewis gained national fame as a leader of the [[Civil Rights Movement]] in the 1960s, playing prominent roles in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches and community organizations. First elected to the house in 1986, his district covers most of [[Atlanta]]. He is the second [[African American]] to represent Georgia in Congress since Reconstruction. Since his district is heavily Democratic, he has faced no significant opposition in over 20 years in Congress. In the Bush years he was a strong critic of the [[War in Iraq]] and called for the impeachment of [[President]] [[George W. Bush]]. <ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.aspx?GUID={4F82A869-1F1D-474C-A16E-04F7505A2EC9}</ref>

Lewis sparked controversy in the [[2008 presidential election]] when he compared Republican candidate [[John McCain]] to 1960s segregationist [[George Wallace]].

:"During another period, in the not too distant past, there was a governor of the state of Alabama named George Wallace who also became a presidential candidate. George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/13/mccain.interview/?iref=mpstoryview</ref>

McCain responded by saying, "The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama's record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign."<ref>http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/1d9b670d-a06d-4c91-ba0e-59c25374780b.htm</ref>

Tree-sitter

2012-01-06T19:18:17Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>A '''tree-sitter''' is an [[environmentalist|environmental extremist]] who literally climbs and sits for long periods of time in a tree to interfere with its being chopped down. When tree-sitting occurs on private land, as it often does, it constitutes criminal [[trespass]]. When it occurs on public land, it can violate camping or curfew rules.

Frog

2012-01-06T19:18:06Z

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>[[File:Small pickerel frog on rock.JPG|thumb|Pickerel frog]]

'''Frogs''' and the similar [[toad]]s are a large family of hundreds of species of [[batrachian]] [[amphibians]], with a nearly worldwide distribution, absent only from high [[latitudes]] and remote oceanic islands. Even in deserts, species such as the water-holding frog, which is used as a drinking bottle by [[Australian Aborigines]],<ref>[http://www.epa.sa.gov.au/frogcensus/platy.html Water holding frog], South Australia Environmental Protection Agency 2004, accessed 26 May 2007</ref> are to be found, buried deep below the ground between the infrequent rains.

== Frogs in Science ==

Frogs have often been the subject of [[scientific]] experiment, whether in [[high school]] [[science]] class [[vivisection|dissections]] or [[Voltaire's]] 1766 experiments, in which he discovered that frogs hear with their legs. The discovery that a frog's [[leg]] will kick if an electrical shock is applied to it was the scientific basis behind the reflex tests now common in doctors' offices.

Frogs have also been used as a model organism in the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering. The large, easily manipulated eggs of the frog species ''Xenopus'' serve as ideal expression systems for over-expressing genes of interest or the expression of novel or mutated genes. Because of this, ''Xenopus'' were among the first species to have had their genomes sequenced after the completion of the human genome project, and they are some of the first animals to have been genetically engendered. An example of this is the expression of florescent-tagged genes that allow researchers to track the expression of a particular gene product (a protein) in the body and observe the changes in the gene’s expression during certain disease states.<ref>http://www.cloningresources.com/research/New_Red_Fluorescent_Protein_Used_to_See_Inside_Living_Animals.asp</ref> Liberal animal rights groups object to the use of frogs in this manner, despite the promises this technology holds for the development of new treatments for human diseases. Environmentalists warn that release of these genetically modified frogs into the wild may cause detrimental effects on the environment and its native species; however, strict regulations exist aimed at preventing accidental release of genetically-modified frogs into the wild. These frogs are also extremely expensive to produce, thus the most likely means of release of such a frog into the wild would not be by accident but would instead be the result of theft.

== Frogs in the Bible ==

The second of the Ten [[Egyptian plagues]] was of frogs. In [[Egypt]]ian culture, frogs were gods, and worshiped as such. [[God]] released enough frogs from the [[Nile]] so that the Egyptians could scarcely avoid stepping on them, as a direct affront to this worship practice.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Exodus|chap=8|verses=1-15}}</ref>

Leviticus declares them unclean to eat.

{{Bible quote|And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.|book=Leviticus|chap=11|verses=10|version=KJV}}

According to [[atheistic]] [[biologist]] [[Richard Dawkins]], the joints of the Lesser Spotted Weasel Frog continue to present a challenge to the [[Theory of Evolution]] insofar as their origin cannot be explained by gradual degrees.<ref>[http://www.csicop.org/intelligentdesignwatch/dawkins.html God's Gift to Kansas], Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal 2005, accessed 16 May 2008</ref>

==Frogs and toads==

Both frog and toad are amphibians which hatch from eggs. A frog's skin is smooth and slimy, while a toad's skin is dry and bumpy. A frog has much longer legs which help it jump. A toad walks. [http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/amphibians/venn/frogtoadanswers.shtml]

Oxford University

WickyNoWicky:

<nowiki>[[Image:University Oxford Arms.jpg|right|thumb|180px|The crest and arms of the University of Oxford. The motto ''Dominus Illuminatio Mea'' translates as "The Lord is my Light"]]
One of the most influential universities in history, the '''University of Oxford''' was founded in 1167. Located in the city of [[Oxford]], [[England]], it is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is organised into 38 colleges and 6 permanent private halls (PPHs), each of which has its own buildings, staff and students; the college is the primary focus of social life at [[undergraduate]] level, although lectures and degree programmes are organised by the University faculty boards. University College founded in 1249 is generally considered the oldest of the Oxford colleges, although other institutions of learning existed in the city prior to this.

As it is, Oxford University is one of the most respected universities in the world <ref>[http://www.topuniversities.com/worlduniversityrankings/results/2007/overall_rankings/top_100_universities/ Times Higher Education survey]</ref> <ref>[http://newshub.nus.edu.sg/headlines/0610/ranking_07oct06.htm National University of Singapore's University rankings]</ref>. It is consistently ranked as the top university in the UK and amongst the top 5 in the world. Oxford's chief rival is [[Cambridge University]], which has a similar reputation.

 

==Student Representation==
[[File:Oxford.jpg|thumb|Clarendon Building.]]
All members of Oxford University are also members of the Oxford University Student Union (OUSU), a statutory body under the 1994 education act. However, due to the collegiate nature of the University, all students are also members of a student body organization within their college, known as a Common Room: Junior Common Rooms (JCRs) are comprised of undergraduates, and Middle Common Rooms (MCRs) for postgraduate students.
OUSU fulfills its statutory role as a provider of welfare and representation for its members. On representation, its executive members (including some of its seven salaried sabbatical officers) sit on several University committees, and lobby colleges, the University, and national and local government bodies, in addition to providing support for Common Room officers. On welfare, OUSU vigorously supports members with a listening service and support for common room officers in mental health, sexual health and family planning issues. It also supports Oxford's Diversity Week.
