Talk:Joe Biden

Banning?

I'm a little upset about all this banning on conservapedia articles. I started and wrote this entire article and am now not allowed to extend it and make it more informative because of all this banning. Chippeterson

No banning has taken place. Rather, the senior sysops have protected all pages for Presidential candidates, so that only sysops may edit them. We have done this for reasons of security. The Talk pages (like this one) remain unprotected--so that if you have a suggestion for extension of this or any article, use the corresponding Talk page.--TerryH^Talk 20:21, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

We need to change the word "proponent" to something like "strongly against." In the part of the article were it talks about Joe Biden's position on gun control. Chippeterson

Why would we need to do that?Samwell 21:23, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

Because it says "Biden is a strong proponent of 2nd-amendment rights. He was rated F by the National Rifle Association." "proponent" means that you support something. Joe Biden is against the right to bear arms. Chippeterson

Opponent should work then. Samwell 21:36, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

Thats a pretty big difference! Thanks for catching it, it has been corrected. Bohdan 00:29, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Jill Biden not a professor

I just changed the word "professor" to "instructor" for Jill Biden, based on this list from her campus:

. Who does she think she is, Barack Obama? In any case, someone should probably archive that .pdf document before it gets removed from the web site. --AdmiralNelson 13:48, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Is Biden REALLY an adjunct professor?

Not sure if he really is a professor. This may be just like Obama claiming to be a "professor." In any case, we should probably expand that section to clarify that the current title he uses, adjunct professor, is little more than a "Monopoly money" title given to non-tenure track hired guns who don't even have to have valid academic credentials or degrees to teach a class. Most adjunct professors that I know, except in technical and scientific fields where they actually have to know something concrete, are pretty awful. Those in education, the social sciences, humanities, criminal justice, and social work are particularly bad. Those teaching math, computer science, biology, chemistry, etc. tend to be pretty good. You can't fake chemistry, but you can fake "social work" and those other fields. --AdmiralNelson 13:58, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
