'''Boudica''' (also spelt Boudicea and Boudicca) (25-62) was the queen of the [[Iceni]] tribe of [[East Anglia]] in [[Celts|Celtic]] [[Britain]], in the area now known as East Anglia
during [[Nero]]'s reign.

Following the death of her husband Prasutagus, the Iceni ruler, Boudica was flogged on the orders of the new Roman Governor of Britain.

She led a bloody revolt against the Romans, who had annexed her kingdom, disrespected her and [[rape]]d her daughters. Boudica slaughtered four [[Rome|Roman]] legions and razed (burnt) the [[Roman]] cities of Colchester (Camulodunum), St Albans (Verulamium) and [[London|Londinium]], so thoroughly that the thick layer of ash left is still clearly visible today.

After her initial successes, routing the Roman ninth legion, the Roman forces rallied against the revolt and Boudica is said to have committed [[suicide]].[http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/britannia/boudica/boudicanrevolt.html]

She is usually depicted riding a [[chariot]] with [[scythe]]s attached to its wheels. [[Tacitus]] describes her sympathetically, stating that she was ''terrifying of mien'' and that she had red hair.

Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors," Conservative Political Action Conference, January 2002. Coulter later clarified what she meant; "when I said we should "execute" John Walker Lindh, I mis-spoke. What I meant to say was 'We should burn John Walker Lindh alive and televise it on prime-time network TV'. My apologies for any misunderstanding that might have occurred.

Ordovician

2007-06-01T03:13:59Z

AdrianP:

The Ordovician period is the second period in the [[Paleozoic]] era. It started approximately 500 million years ago after the end of the [[Cambrian]]. Most of the phyla which are living today existed at the beginning of the Ordovician period. By the end of the Ordovician period, the first land plants, bryophytes, evolved and began to colonize the land. The Ordovician also saw the [[evolution]] of [[fish]]. The Ordovician was preceded by the [[Cambrian]] and succeeded by the [[Silurian]].

Pleistocene

2007-06-01T02:44:54Z

AdrianP:

The Pleistocene epoch is a period of time that occurred 1.8 million to 11,000 years ago. It is during this period that modern man evolved althogh our relatives in the genus ''[[Homo]]'' have been present since the late [[Pliocene]]. The Pleistocene is also known for its frequent glaciations. Many large [[animal]]s went extinct at the end of this period including sabre toothed tigers, wooly [[mammoth]]s, and [[neanderthal]]s, our sister species. This epoch coincided with [[ice age]]s which ravaged the [[earth]] as well as interglacials. It is thought that the Pleistocene [[ice age]] is still ongoing and that we are merely in another interglacial althogh global warming may result in a superinterglacial. This will delay or prevent us from going into another ice age.
==Pleistocene extinctions==
Flora and Fauna in the Pleistocene were very similar to what is found today. Many of the same species of mollusks, birds, mammals, and insects still exist. The Pleistocene however, was also characterized by many large mammals which are now extinct. These include [[giant sloth]]s, [[neanderthal]]s, [[wooly mammoth]]s, and [[sabre toothed cat]]s. [[Horse]]s and [[camel]]s once galloped across the North American plains and giant birds with 25 foot wingspans stalked prey. [[Scientist]]s speculate that the Pleistocene mass extinction event may have been caused by a combination of changing climate, disease, and overhunting by [[human]]s.

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

Help:List of Templates

2007-05-26T20:02:40Z

AdrianP: /* Formatting and boilerplate text */

This page contains lists of templates available on Conservapedia.

''Templates'' are predefined blocks of text or other code (including formatting). Advantages of using templates are:
* Consistency of style (using the same template in various articles).
* Save time (reusing text that has been written before).
* Easy updating (Changing the template allows one to change that text in every article that uses that template).
* Automatically include the page in a given category.
NB: This page attempts to document all templates (except user boxes). Inclusion here does not imply endorsement of any template.
 

== Creating (or modifying) templates ==
Conservapedia requires that all templates be properly documented. See [[Help:Creating templates|Creating templates]] for details. Failure to document templates will result in the templates being deleted or reverted.

Hostess Twinkies

{{Template:Vandalism2}}
----
'''Twinkies''' were introduced by the Continental Baking Company in [[Indiana]], which also made [[Wonder Bread]] and had a snack line your probably familiar with called [[Hostess]]. One of their bakers named James Kirk got the idea for the "Twinkie" while he delivered one of their products, a cream filled [[strawberry]] shortcake. The machines to make these sat idle when the strawberry season was over so he came up with an idea to use them to make a snack cake filled with a [[banana]] filling, and only charge a [[nickel]] for a package of 2. It was good idea as money was tight for people during the great depression. Dewar came up with this name when driving by a billboard that had an ad for shoes from the "Twinkle Toe Shoe Company". He shortened the name to ''Twinkies''. During [[World War I]], bananas were rationed and Hostess started using a [[vanilla]] filling. Hostess sponsored the [[Howdy Doody]] show in the 1950s. During the [[Cold War]], many bomb shelters were stocked with Twinkies, because it was said that they would "stay fresh forever".

Date of creation

2007-05-26T07:02:14Z

AdrianP: /* Calculated dates */

Calculating the '''date of creation''' has exercised many minds for hundreds of years.

== Basis of calculation ==

The Bible contains [[chronogenealogies]] from Adam to Abraham, listing the age at which each person in the genealogy gave birth to the next person in the list, thus allowing by simple addition a determination of how many years passed between [[creation story|creation]] and Abraham. There are other chronological indications also, allowing that calculation to be extended into the times of the kings, when the dates can be correlated with other events in history for which the absolute date is known. By this means, in theory, one can calculate the date of creation.

There are, however, some uncertainties in this. For example, Genesis lists the age of Terah when the first of his sons was born, but was Abraham this son, or the second or third son?
Different researchers have proposed different answers to this and similar problems, but none of these problems change the result by a very significant amount.

An objection that has often been raised is whether the chronogenealogies were ''intended'' to be used this way, or whether, for example, generations have been missed.
[[Henry Morris]], a pioneer of modern creationism, allowed for the possibility of gaps in the genealogies, but claimed that it was unreasonable to stretch the date back further than about 10,000 B.C.
In more recent times, however, creationists have concluded that there is no reason to think that there are gaps, and this view is supported by the consensus of the experts, according to [[James Barr]], then regius professor of Hebrew at [[Oxford University]], and not a young-Earth creationist (he also wrote a book attacking [[biblical inerrancy]]), who wrote in 1984: "… probably, so far as I know, there is no professor of Hebrew or Old Testament at any world-class university who does not believe that the writer(s) of Genesis 1–11 intended to convey to their readers the ideas that: … the figures contained in the Genesis genealogies provided by simple addition a chronology from the beginning of the world up to later stages in the biblical story." <ref>Quoted in [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1606/ Biblical chronogenealogies], by Jonathan Sarfati.</ref>

Old-earth creationists do not accept this date, proposing that there may be gaps in the genealogies.<ref>[http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/other_papers/primeval_chronology.shtml Are There Gaps in the Biblical Genealogies?], by William Henry Green.</ref>

== Calculated dates ==

The best known date of creation is the one calculated by Archbishop [[James Ussher]] in the 17th century - namely 6:00 p.m. Saturday, [[October 22]], [[4004]] BC.<ref>The Annals of the World, by James Ussher.</ref> However, only the year was based on the Biblical ages; the date and time were based on other considerations. Sir [[Isaac Newton]] defended Ussher's date.<ref>Cited in Sarfati, John, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/141 Comets—portents of doom or indicators of youth?], ''Creation'' 25(3):36–40, June 2003.</ref> Another to calculate the date of creation was [[Johannes Kepler]], who worked it out to be 3992 B.C.

But such calculations in fact date from at least the Middle Ages, and offer a range of dates from around 5000 to 4000 BC. Judaic tradition reckons the date of creation at 3760 BC. Another calculation, beginning with the date of the destruction of Jerusalem known from secular history and working backwards, arrives at 4163 BC. <ref> http://web.newsguy.com/rubyredinger/age.html Biblical age of the Earth</ref>

== Geological dating ==
Based on [[geology|geological]] dating methods and their inherent controversial assumptions, however, secular scientific research dates the formation of the Earth to around 4.5 [[billion]] (4.5 * 109) years ago.<ref>[http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/geotime/age.html USGS, ''Geologic Time: Age of the Earth.''] Accessed April 18, 2007.</ref> And according to the [[Big Bang Theory|Big Bang theory]], the universe began even earlier, about 13.7 billion years ago.

Parietal lobe

The '''parietal lobe''' is located in the [[brain]] and is the main receiving area for the sense of touch. It is essential for body perception in general, including the perception of the location and movement of body parts and the orientation of the body in space. Many [[neuron|neurons]] in the parietal lobe also contribute to motor control.

== Primary somatosensory cortex ==
A strip in the anterior part of the parietal lobe receives most touch sensation and other information about the body. This is the '''primary somatosensory cortex.''' Damage to this strip in one hemisphere impairs perception on the opposite side of the body. Each location along the primary somatosensory cortex receives sensation from a different part of the body.

== Damage to the Parietal Lobe ==
Damage to an area in the parietal lobe just behind the primary somatosensory cortex disorganizes sensations of touch. A person with such damage can still feel objects but may ignore what he or she is feeling. A person with damage in the right parietal cortex may show neglect of the left side of the body. Such people may fail to dress or groom the left side of the body, insisting that it is "someone else." They read only the right side of a page and draw only the right side of an object, using only the right side of the paper. If asked to descripe from memory what they would see if they walked down a particular street, they describe only what they would see on the right side. If the asked what they would see if they came back along that street, they describe the opposite side.

Nineteen Eighty-Four

2007-05-26T02:14:15Z

AdrianP:

[[Image:1984first.jpg|right|thumb|First edition of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' published in Britain, 1949.]]
'''Nineteen Eighty-Four'''<ref>The title is spelled out, in words, in the original 1949 editions, both as published in England by Secker and Warburg[http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=87&ti=76,87&Search%5FArg=Orwell%2C%20George&Search%5FCode=NAME%5F&CNT=25&PID=11284&SEQ=20070323140446&SID=1] and in the United States by Harcourt, Brace[http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=86&ti=76,86&Search%5FArg=Orwell%2C%20George&Search%5FCode=NAME%5F&CNT=25&PID=11284&SEQ=20070323140446&SID=1]. It is sometimes presented numerically, in digits, '''1984,''' in modern reprints and derivative works such as screenplays.</ref> is a novel by [[George Orwell]] in what is now called the [[dystopia]]n genre. It is widely viewed as a critique of the Soviet regime, but may also be viewed as a criticism of any state where the government has too much control over its citizens.

It was originally to be titled "The Last Man in Europe," but the title was changed at the publisher's suggestion. It is often suggested that "eighty-four" is a reversal of "forty-eight," the year in which the book was written, but this has never been confirmed.

Orwell was influenced by Jack London's novel ''The Iron Heel,'' and Yevgeny Zamyatin's ''We.''

== Plot Summary ==
Nineteen Eighty-Four describes an [[alternate history]] in which Oceania (roughly, the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, and South Africa) is perpetually at war with [[Eurasia]] or Eastasia and allied with the other. The book describes a dystopia where the government monitors and controls nearly all aspects of every individual's life.

The [[protagonist]], Winston Smith, works in the Ministry of Truth, altering records to fit the Party's current view of history. However, Smith grows to gradually disagree with the Party and what it stands for. Eventually, he and his lover Julia are captured by the thought police and tortured to the point where they once again love the party.

Much of the novel is taken up with discussions of the nature of power and societal control, and words and mottos from the novel--"doublethink", "We have always been at war with Eastasia", "the memory hole" and many more--have become standard shorthand in political discussions, while terms such as "thought police", "Room 101" and "Big Brother" have entered the language.

== Background of Novel ==
The environmental background to the action of the story is a satirical portrayal of late-1940s London, a city where war damage was still very evident, and rationing and shortages a way of life. The Ministry of Truth, as described by Orwell in the novel, is based upon the Senate House building of London University, at the time one of the tallest buildings in the capital, and home during the Second World War to the Ministry of Information.

'''Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin''' (Ru: Иосиф Сталин) (December 6th, 1878 (Julian: December 18th)-March 5, 1953) was the General Secretary of the [[Communist Party]] of the [[Soviet Union]] (CPSU) from 1922 until his death. He was the son of a poor Georgian cobbler and a former seminary student who became a Bolshevik and one of [[Lenin|Lenin's]] closest allies during the their take-over of the Kerensky regime. During the [[Russian Civil War]] Stalin, who chose his name from the Russian word for steel, held the city of Tsaritsen on the Volga from counter-revolutionary forces. Stalin later re-named [[Stalingrad]] in honor of his victory, and was the same city of [[Germany]]'s massive defeat in [[World War II]].
 
 
 
 
 
==Rise to Power==

Stain was tapped by the Okhrana, the Tsarist secret police, as a low-level informer shortly after he was expelled from the Tiflis seminary in 1899. Stalin then began to systematically inform on revolutionary comrades in party organizations in Tiflis, Baku, and Batum over the next few years. He acquired a highly unsavory reputation among the [[Social Democrats]] of these cities and was finally arrested for cover purposes in 1902 when suspicions about him were about to boil over. It was the Okhrana that furnished the invisible means of support for the family he acquired after 1904.

In 1917, the Commissariat of Nationalities was formed with Stalin as its Commissar (Minister). The Commissariat addressed the question of the nationalities of the Russian Empire, and helped integrate them into the [[Soviet Union]]. From 1919-1922 he was also the People's Commissar of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspection (Rabkrin, from the Russian), which was founded to be a check on the burgeoning Soviet bureaucracy.

In 1922, Lenin named Stalin General Secretary of the CPSU. In 1924 Stalin in turn created the "Secret Department," a unit of 94 of his personal functionaries that maintained special privileges as the ''[[nomenklatura]]'', or a list of trusted individuals. He also appointed regional party secretaries who all, of course, supported Stalin. Through the Secret Department Stalin gained control of the [[Red Army]] after removing [[Lev Trotsky]] in 1925 and the OGPU (later, [[KGB]]) when its leader [[Felix Derzhinsky]] died in 1926. Lenin had foreseen all of this and had warned in his last testament that Stalin should be removed from General Secretary because the position's power was unlimited.

Stalin, however, did not allow this to happen. His most powerful rival, Lev Trotsky, who was the commander of the Red Army, was painted as a danger to the Revolution, because he continued to push the idea of international revolution; the "left opposition." Other Soviet leaders, like [[Zinoviev]], leader of the [[Comintern]], and [[Kaminev]], the head of the Communist Party in Moscow, were painted with the same brush because they supported Trotsky and did not wish to expel him from the CPSU in 1927. Later, he accused his ally [[Bukharin]] of being a member of the "right opposition," i.e. he was in favor of a more capitalistic economic system, as seen under the [[New Economic Policy]] (NEP) of the early 1920s. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico in 1940 by [[Ramón Mercader]] in an extenisve conspiracy that included underground operatives from the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA). Zinoviev, Kaminev, and Bukharin were the center of the famous "[[Great Purge|show trials]]" of the 1930s. All were put to death.

==Catch and Overtake==

In 1928 Stalin decided that the Soviet Union was not properly industrialized to enjoy a communist future, so he initiated the First Five Year Plan and the campaign to collectivize agriculture in order to "build socialism," and to "catch and overtake" the capitalist world. Stalin fanned the fires of collectivization, claiming that peasants had been hording grain and that they needed to be controlled. Under this program, rich peasants (kulaks), were exiled or killed for being enemies of the people, and peasants' land was taken in order to introduce collective farming to expedite grain appropriations. Many were called kulaks by jealous neighbors, while the peasants who remained were often the laziest and most ill suited to producing enough grain. Collectivization caused massive famine in Russia, particularly in [[Ukraine]] (see [[Holodomor]]), where Stalin ordered the Red Army to blockade certain regions and take grain by force. It is estimated that the famine of 1931-33 killed 6-7 million people, while 20 million starved.

The First Five Year Plan was a program of crash-industrialization. After [[World War I]] and the Russian Civil War Russia had an industrial capacity equal to that of its 1861 capacity. The only way for Russia to be able to break the "capitalist encirclement," Stalin declared, was to industrialize. Brigades of shock workers were formed to work faster and harder than the world had ever seen. Most of this, however, was pure propaganda, although the shock workers did set the record for concrete poured in a single shift. Compared to the capitalist world which was experiencing the Great Depression, Soviet growth was impressive. Between 1929 and 1937, 8,000 factories were constructed, average GDP growth was around 10%, and the official unemployment statistics, which included gulag detainees, was 0. In 1936, after the Second Five Year Plan, Stalin declared socialism "built." Nevertheless, the capitalist world lived better than the Soviet Union, despite the Great Depression. [[John Scott]], an American CPUSA member and Comintern oeprative who was living in the Soviet Union during the Five Year Plans, notes this in his memoirs of that period "Behind the Urals." The legacy of the Five Year Plans (most of which Stalin declared "completed" in 4 years) injured the Soviet's production models, because the encouraged quantity and speed over quality. However, the planning of the 1930s enabled the Russians to defeat the Nazis in the 1940s. <ref>Suvorov, Viktor. ''Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?// (Viking Press/Hamish Hamilton; 1990) ISBN 0241126223.</ref>

==Stalin's Terror==

Between 1936 and 1938, [[Joseph Stalin]] launched his purges to rid the Soviet Union of "fifth columnists," or spies who were loyal to the [[capitalist]] world. During the Terror 3 million people were arrested on various and often made-up charges, while 750,000 were executed. Due to the interrogation techniques of the NKVD (later, KGB), which often were torturous, most of those arrested confessed and were sent to work camps, called the [[Gulag]] for 10 years and sometimes even 25. Here, prisoners were forced to labor in mines, to log forests, or to do construction. Few lived through their sentences.

The infamous show trials of former leaders of the Soviet Union occurred during this period, where they were accused of working with Trotsky or sabotaging the Soviet Union. Stalin also evicerated the high command of the Red Army, killing 90% of the leadership. The minions of oppression were not spared either; of the NKVD's 809 officials, 43 lived through the purges. The leadership of the communist party was persecuted as well. For example, in 1934 130 members of the 139-member Central Committee were arrested. The Terror forever made Russians afraid to speak out against the government, and also made sure that no one but Stalin could ever rule the Soviet Union as effectively.

==World War II==

To avoid war with [[Germany]], Stalin ordered the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, [[Molotov]], to sign a non-aggression pact with [[Adolf Hitler]], named the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, on August 19, 1939. The treaty detailed the agreement to split up [[Poland]] between Germany and the Soviet Union, give Stalin the Baltic Republics of [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], and [[Estonia]], and to allow the Soviets to wage war on [[Finland]], a war that ended in a humiliating Soviet defeat. Both sides, however, knew that they would eventually engage in hostilities.

It seems that Stalin anticipated this less than Hitler, who, in June of 1941 invaded the Soviet Union with the largest land army ever assembled. It consisted of 170 divisions, or 3.5 million troops. Stalin was caught off guard, and the [[Nazis]] blazed a path through the Ukraine and European Russia. Reaching [[Moscow]] in October 1941, the Nazis threatened Stalin and the entire Soviet Union with defeat. In only 6 months, the Nazis controlled one third of the Soviet economy, a total of 5% of the Earth's surface. Hitler's troops were defeated at Moscow during the winter of 1941-42 after Stalin appointed [[Yorky Zhukov]] as commander of the Red Army. A spy in the German embassy in Tokyo, [[Richard Sorge]], informed Stalin that Japan was not going to attack [[Siberia]], freeing thousands of winter ski-troops to move to Moscow to defeat the Nazis. It was during this time that Stalin famously invoked the name of [[God]] and allowed religious services to be conducted after 20 plus years of repression. Also, 1500 factories were evacuated and restored in Siberia and 12-15 million workers were moved east of the [[Urals]], where Soviet production was higher than Germany's in 1942, despite Germany holding some 50% of Soviet industry.

The Red Army went on the offensive after the defense of Moscow, but soon the Nazis gained the advantage and pushed to Stalingrad. More than one million troops fought on each side in urban combat. Hitler refused to allow surrender, and eventually the Nazis were encircled and routed. After turning the tide of war in Stalingrad, the 1943 [[Kursk]] tank battle was decisive in pushing the Nazis from European Russia. In two years, the Red Army pushed the Nazis all the way back to [[Berlin]]. Stalin used his control of Eastern Europe to extract concessions from [[President Roosevelt]] at Allied conferences, including control over the region. [[Winston Churchill]] warned against this very control, for he greatly feared Soviet hegemony in Europe. Victorious, Stalin named himself Generalissimo and became more popular than ever in the Soviet Union and more dangerous than ever to the capitalist world.

Over the course of World War II, around 25 million Russians died. Twenty million were in the armed services. The total number of 25 million reflects half of the worldwide losses of human life during World War II. The population did not recover until 1956. Many Soviet POWs, like famous writer [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]], were sent to the Gulag after the war because they had fallen into German hands, and were accused of being spies. This swelled the prison camps by the thousands.

==Post-War Period and Death==

Similar to the 1930s, Stalin undertook a harsh campaign of industrialization, which hurt the Soviets as much as it helped them rebuild. Money was devalued to one-tenth of its previous value, 2 million German and Japanese POWs were forced to stay in the Soviet Union and rebuild the country, and 10% of investment from 1945-46 was from looted machinery. The crops produced by household plots were collected by the government to sell, and a famine in 1947 caused by drought and Soviet single-crop farming killed 2 million. The recovery was built on the Soviet subjects.
[[Image:Stalinfuneral.jpg|250px|right|thumb|''Right to left:'' Lavrenti Beria, Georgi Malenkov, Vassily Stalin, V.M. Molotov, Nikolai Bulganin]]
After World War II, Stalin's cult of personality emerged as the dominant force of Soviet life. He was credited as the savior of the Soviet Union and the architect of victory, though it was really General Zhukov who was responsible for most of this. The communist youth group, the [[Komsomol]], devoted songs to "the Father of All Nations" or "the Driver of the Locomotive of History." Party membership increased by one million people between 1945 and 1953. Books quoted Stalin as an expert in communism, while he was often photographed surrounded by children to make him seem friendlier. This all served to form a deep, personal connection with Stalin for many Soviets. Indeed, he was loved by the Soviets. When he died in 1953 an anxious mob at his viewing crushed and trampled some mourners to death. Dissidents like Sakharov, the man forced in a prison to build the Soviet atom bomb, cried upon hearing that Stalin had died, despite their intense hatred of him. Despite his terror, he had convinced millions that he was their father.

Following a stroke on March 1, 1953, Stalin died on March 5 after a period of declining performance. Between 1949 and 1952 Stalin increasingly took vacations and met with the [[Politburo]] less and less. When he died a short power struggle ensued, one which led to the execution of KGB head [[Beria]] as a spy. Eventually [[Khrushchev]] became the General Secretary of the CPSU and denounced Stalin's repressive tactics, his purges, gulags, and his cult of personality in the [[Secret Speech]] at the 20th Party Congress of 1956. Gulags were dismantled and the political climate was slightly less tense, but Soviet oppression still continued. The period following Stalin's rule is called the "thaw," the start of life again after a long winter.

'''William Lloyd Garrison''' (1805-1879) was a white leader of the abolitionist movement in Boston, where he published the anti-slavery newspaper the ''Liberator''. In 1833, he founded the American Anti-Slavery Society.

Garrison, who did not originally feel that [[Abraham Lincoln]] was sufficiently opposed to slavery, wrote in 1885-89:<ref>http://www.amerisearch.net/index.php?date=2004-05-24&view=View</ref>

:Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

The former slave [[Frederick Douglass]] wrote in ''My Bondage and My Freedom'' (1855):

:After reaching New Bedford, there came a young man to me with a copy of the Liberator...edited by William Lloyd Garrison... His paper took its place with me next to the Bible...It detested slavery...and, with all the solemnity of God's word, demanded the complete emancipation of my race... His words were... holy fire...The Bible was his text book... Prejudice against color was rebellion against God.

Nudism

2007-05-24T02:14:00Z

AdrianP:

Nudism is the idea that going without clothes is acceptable.

== Nudism in the Bible ==
Some of those who support nudism quote Genesis 2:25, "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."

The Bible clearly says that Adam was ashamed of his nadedness. Genesis 3:9-10 says, "And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." However, if God had disapproved of nakedness he would not have let Adam and Eve live in the Garden without clothes. It was only after eating of the Forbidden Fruit at the suggestion of the Serpent that they were ashamed of their nakedness. This would suggest that nakedness was part of God's design, and hiding that nakedness was the design of the Devil.

Further, Leviticus 18 is far more explicit against naturalism:

<blockquote>
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

AdrianP: as bad as he is that was uncalled for

[[Image:Bvdy76.jpg|right|thumb]]
'''Kim Jong Il''' has been the dictator of North Korea since coming to power in 1994. He is also the leader of the [[Communist Party]] of [[North Korea]]. He has been criticized for the human rights abuses in North Korea. Over one million people in North Korea starved to death as a result of a state imposed famine.

He came into power in 1994, after his father [[Kim Il Sung]] died, and has remained the North Korean leader ever since. He is an intense persecutor of Christians and other organized religions.

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it. This doesn’t seem like abuse at all, but rather making a reasonable request that is well in line with the Conservapedia policy that a user has the right to decided how his user page is treated.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 11:42, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

:::I count at least three errors of fact in your first sentence, allow me to clear them up. My name is neither “Liberal Reg” nor “Reg”, I identify as a Libertarian and not a liberal, and I have not posted to the conservative page and have no plans to do so.

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

{{merge|Massachusetts}}
A [[liberal]] from [[Massachusetts]], in many ways the most liberal state in the [[United States of America|United States]]. It is the only state where it is a crime, with a mandatory prison sentence of at least one year, for transporting a lawfully owned gun for a lawful purpose in an automobile without a special permit. Out-of-state drivers traveling to hunting or gun competitions in the Northeast have to choose between going hours out of their way to avoid Massachusetts, or spending hours attempting to obtain a permit.{{fact}}

Massachusetts is also the only state that has [[same-sex marriage]]. Two of the most liberal senators in the entire [[U.S. Senate]], [[Ted Kennedy|Teddy Kennedy]] and [[John Kerry]]<ref>http://nationaljournal.com/voteratings/sen/lib.htmM</ref>, represent Massachusetts. Massachusetts has the lowest [[divorce]] rate in the country at 2.4 divorces per 1,000 people per annum, according to the Barna Research Group.

[[John Kerry]] lost by nearly three million votes nationwide in the 2004 election against [[George W. Bush]], yet Kerry won Massachusetts by a margin of about 62-38%. Massachussetts was the only state in which a majority voted for George McGovern instead of Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election.

Communism

2007-05-20T05:49:19Z

AdrianP:

'''Communism''' advocates the establishment of a "classless society". In actuality it is dominated by a self appointed ''[[Nomenklatura]]''. It officially prohibits one person from employing another, which leads to massive restrictions on personal freedom and economic shortages of every sort of goods and services. It does not allow for savings and investment, the ownership of private property, such as homes or cars, or even fair payment of wages and labor. Persons born in Communist countries have no citizenships rights.

==Theory and horror==

It is based upon a [[socialist]] economy in which the public, whether the state or other group, owns the "[[means of production]]" and in which the wealth of the nation is rationed among the Party's beneficiaries. Yet party members (there is only one Party) have special stores in which ordinary people are barred, stores which are immune to the perennial shortages which the lower class must endure (see [[queuing]]).

Various Communist doctrines have evolved or been adapted to the time and place they have been implimented. Marxism, developed by [[Karl Marx]], and its modifications under [[Vladimir Ilyich Lenin| Vladimir Lenin]], [[Joseph Stalin]], and [[Mao Zedong]], advocates the overthrow of the exisitng order by a revolution of the proletariat, the social group which does not control the means of production. The goal of Marxism is supposedly to create a classless society which would result in nolonger the need for any [[government]].

The most famous government to label itself "communist" is the former [[USSR]] or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; the Communist Party controlled its government from 1922 to 1991. This government was officially [[atheist]] and attempted to suppress all religion. Like many authoritarian regimes, it tried to cultivate reverence for the state as a psychological substitute for religion. Left-wing critics of the USSR charged that it was communist in name only, and had betrayed the revolution which founded it. George Orwell expressed this viewpoint eloquently in his 1945 fable ''[[Animal Farm]]''.

Marxist theory is intended to appeal to its adherents with the phrase, "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs", which essentially states point blank a worker does not get paid according to his abilities, and there is no [[incentive]] within the economic theory. Another quote by Marx was, "The theory of the Communism may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property," i.e. legalized theft.

Marx also coined the disparaging atheistic dictum "religion is the opium of the masses", expressing the fundemental Marxist view that the proletariat have been brainwashed by religion, and thus a ''Nomenklatura'' of ''[[enlightened]]'' party members with this [[esoteric]] knowledge and foresight are justified in enslaving the masses, for their own benefit.

==Modern Communism==
[[Image:Captive-nations-01b----07-19-06.jpg|thumbnail|150px|right|A monument to the Captive Nations stands at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation .]]In less than the past 100 years, '''Communism''' has claimed more than 100 million lives. Today, it continues to enslave one-fifth of the world's people. <ref>[http://www.victimsofcommunism.org/history_communism.php Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation], Documenting Communism's Crimes Against Humanity.</ref>

Between 1989 and 1991, many communist governments were overthrown. The [[Berlin Wall]] in [[Germany]], which had become a symbol for the division between the West and communist states, was torn down largely in response to Ronald Reagan in 1989, and there was also a large revolution against Romanian dictator [[Nicolaie Ceausescu]]. In 1991, the USSR broke up into several countries. Some of these remained under autocratic governments, but some have embraced [[democracy]].

Although Communism's influence has decreased dramatically in Europe, around a quarter of the world's population still lives under Communist Party rule.

The most famous of those countries governed by a communist one-party system is [[China]], but others (such as [[North Korea]], [[Laos]], and [[Vietnam]]) remain. There is considerable debate as to the extent to which these governments actually implement communist policies. China has not democratized (note especially the crushing of the [[Tiananmen Square protests of 1989]]), but its economic policies have been called "red capitalism" by some commentators, as there is a growing sector that behaves in a less-regulated, free market style. China's economy manufactures a wide variety of products that are sold to non-communist countries, and there is quite obvious tolerance of economic inequality, with some provinces struggling with poverty while others prosper.

One of the only remaining Modern communist countries, Cuba, is still kept under economic repression by the USA due to its communist beliefs. Over 100 UN countries are still calling for an end to this highly illegal blockade of trade and services.

==Communists cite scripture==

Some Communist ideaology has made its way into the Church as a [[Social Gospel]], interpreting the Gospel as less redemptive of sin and more of a public works campaign and activism. The often cite Jesus feeding the masses and warnings to the wealthy who believed self-seeking is all this world has to offer. Communists often cite the Acts of the Apostles, as early Christians practicing some form of sharing for the common good:

:And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (Acts 2:44-45, KJV)

:Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

:And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

:And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

:Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.(Acts 4:34-7, KJV)

But as Arnold Toynbee has pointed out, this Marixt view denies the most crucial points,

:The passage in the Acts represents the philanthropy of the primitive Christian Society as flowing from a God-given grace which was the fruit of a belief in the divinity of Jesus. In other words, the charity which is here depicted as moving the primitive Christians to go—in their mutual concern for one another's welfare—to the extreme length of sharing all their worldly goods is not a mere love of Man for Man (which is the limited literal meaning of the word ‘philanthropy’), but is a spiritual relation to which God is a party as well as His human creatures. In fact, this Christian Socialism is a practical application, on the economic surface of life, of the fundamental religious truth that the brotherhood of Man is a consequence of the fatherhood of God - a truth which is driven home with special force by a religion which teaches that God is not only the father and creator of Man, but also his savior who has been incarnate in human shape and has suffered, and triumphed over, Death.<ref>Arnold Toynbee, ''A Study of History'', Annex II to Vol. V, Part C (i) (c) 2, p. 585, ''Marxism, Socialism, and Christianity''.</ref>

Notable communists include [[Stalin]], [[Engle]], [[Lenin]], [[Karl Marx]], [[Pol Pot]] and [[Fidel Castro]].

Hallucinogen

2007-05-20T05:40:23Z

AdrianP:

A '''hallucinogen''' is a pharmacological substance that when ingested causes the mind to to circumvent reality.<ref>[http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/hallucinogens?utm_term=hallucinogen&utm_medium=mw&utm_campaign=article] Hallucinogens Information on Healthline</ref> Distortions may range from enhancement of the senses so that colors or sounds appear amplified or distorted, the feeling of flying and the and the absence of pain. Hallucinogenic substances may be synthetically manufactured in a laboratory like [[LSD]] or derive from natural plant (e.g [[peyote]], [[cannabis]]), [[fungi]] (e.g [[magic mushrooms]]) or animal ([[Colorado River toad]]) sources.

Natural sources have long been used in shamanic cultures as a way of communicating with the spirits or gods, or as a means of divination and prophesy.

Only a few hallucinogens actually produce ''hallucinations'' where things that are not real, appear to be realistic.

AdrianP:

The [[United States]] has a '''senate''' composed of 100 members, two from each of the 50 [[state]]s. The Senate convenes in [[Washington, D.C.]]. The Senate is equally divided, with 49 [[Republican]]s and 49 [[Democrat]]s. However [[Independent]]s [[Jim Jeffords]] and [[Joe Leiberman]] caucus with the [[Democratic Party]], giving Democrats the majority.

The position of '''President of the Senate''' is filled by the [[Vice President of the United States]], and he casts the deciding vote in case of a tie. If the Vice President is not present, the [[President Pro Tempore]] (currently [[Robert Byrd]]), casts the deciding vote in case of a tie. The Senate's current Majority Leader is [[Harry Reid]], and the Minority Leader is [[Mitch McConnell]]. [http://senate.gov/pagelayout/senators/a_three_sections_with_teasers/leadership.htm]

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it.

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

::I left him an offer he can't refuse, so I think it will be okay now. BUT please don't taunt the Liberals too much, they completely have no sense of humor when it comes to things political. --[[User:TK|Sysop-TK]] [[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]] 01:54, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it. This doesn’t seem like abuse at all, but rather making a reasonable request that is well in line with the Conservapedia policy that a user has the right to decided how his user page is treated.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 11:42, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

::Hi Liberal Reg, I am fine with what Human says however, people like you will comment on Republicans even though they are not one. Must be fair all they way around in order for his system to work. Otherwise, you'll have a section of liberal false hoods without rebuttal.--[[User:Jpatt|jp]] 15:11, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

:::I count at least three errors of fact in your first sentence, allow me to clear them up. My name is neither “Liberal Reg” nor “Reg”, I identify as a Libertarian and not a liberal, and I have not posted to the conservative page and have no plans to do so. The first two are minor mistakes, but the third strikes me as a serious accusation (that I will violate the castle that is another user’s page and that I am a hypocrite). I would ask that you be clear about the facts before you accuse me of anything in the future.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 17:10, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

::Sorry for offending you nod, first of all 'people like you' doesn't mean you have posted to Republicans. Second of all, all libertarians are just other liberals with a different name. You are defending John Edwards so strongly, yet he's not a libertarian. Who said anything about hypocrite? lighten up. Sysop, are we really allowed to debate here in the abuse forum?--[[User:Jpatt|jp]] 23:30, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

*'''No, this isn't a debate place, and I will be removing such posts here, and cleaning it up later. Let me say this about user pages...your ONE user page and ONE discussion page is your castle. ''You cannot create dozens of other pages, like the political discussion page of Human, and expect to be entitled to the "rights" of your one user page/discussion page "castle"''. Now please move those extra pages, Human, out to the debate page space where they belong, or it will be done for you, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for any data loss, or edit conflicts.''' --[[User:TK|Sysop-TK]] [[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]] 00:23, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

Is that really so unreasonable? --[[User:TK|Sysop-TK]] [[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]] 09:03, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

::::For the record we (or maybe just myself) didn't put you on the spot, the question was asked of Geo and you chose to respond.

:::Well of course you do. But I was addressing Auld Nick. Sorry, we all don't agree with your wiki ways of doing things. It is a software, not a way of life.

What wikipedia bullying tactics am I or Auld Nick using that are so different from you warning to block me or Auld Nick from this wiki?

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it. This doesn’t seem like abuse at all, but rather making a reasonable request that is well in line with the Conservapedia policy that a user has the right to decided how his user page is treated.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 11:42, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

:::I count at least three errors of fact in your first sentence, allow me to clear them up. My name is neither “Liberal Reg” nor “Reg”, I identify as a Libertarian and not a liberal, and I have not posted to the conservative page and have no plans to do so.

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

*When you leave your glass house, Auld Nick, perhaps you would make a better spokesperson for transparency and short comments. Either you are completely obtuse, or just ignoring what the Guidelines say, for a better (read dramatic) retort. Obviously at any website in the world, Administrators have more leeway than users.

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it. This doesn’t seem like abuse at all, but rather making a reasonable request that is well in line with the Conservapedia policy that a user has the right to decided how his user page is treated.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 11:42, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

:::I count at least three errors of fact in your first sentence, allow me to clear them up. My name is neither “Liberal Reg” nor “Reg”, I identify as a Libertarian and not a liberal, and I have not posted to the conservative page and have no plans to do so.

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

::What JP, fails to mention here, is that this took place on Human’s user page.
::Human asked that users who self identify as conservatives not post on his personal user page asking liberal users who they would support as president but rather to post on his user page asking conservatives who they would support—that seems to be a very reasonable request (which JP chose, knowingly, to ignore). He seems to have been acting under the assumption that his user page was his castle and he could tell people who could post where on it. This doesn’t seem like abuse at all, but rather making a reasonable request that is well in line with the Conservapedia policy that a user has the right to decided how his user page is treated.--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 11:42, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

*[[User:Auld Nick]]. In [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Kilt&diff=152957&oldid=152944 this edit], he added [[:Image:Soldiers wearing Kilts.jpg]], with the edit comment "Image of soldiers in kilts" and the picture caption "Kilted Scottish Soldiers paying respect to their fallen comrades." He does not say in the talk page or in an edit comment why he chose an image in which one soldier's kilt has been lifted by wind to expose part of his bare buttocks. The use of such an image ought to have been discussed in Talk. If the point was to illustrate that kilts are worn without underwear, and if he sincerely thought such an image was appropriate, then the edit comment should have said something like "Image showing that kilts are worn without underwear." Therefore, I consider the edit comment misleading, and that trips my threshold for labeling it as "abuse." Put plainly, it's my opinion that Auld Nick is figuratively mooning Conservapedia.

I've noticed that you are very good at making clear points without offending anyone, so I am requesting that you at least check out [[Square root]] and [[Scientific Revolution]], especially the latter, and tell me what you think [my course of action should be] sometime, on their talk pages or mine. Thanks in advance, [[User:Human|Human]] 15:55, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

:Hey, thanks for the help and participation. I think SqR is close to being a good file now. It's so much better to have more voices involved, I think. Sci Rev, however... man. I should just stay away from these moated files. Rschlafly (Roger?) told me that the creationist textbook I quoted (fairly, too) was biased and full of myths. Well, I knew that, but not in the way Rschlaughly thinks! I suspect the only solution would be a good, real article written in a sandbox, followed by a revert war and subsequent banning of yours truly.

:Anyway. I found a new mess ;) But it's not war bait. [[Musical Instruments]] should redirect to the singular (IMO), not vice versa. And [[Musical Instruments Master List]] is redundant and proving it. One links to [[flute]], the other to [[flutes]]. The two articles are both floating out there semi-independently, with "trees" being built off them with no rhyme or reason (or melody either!). It's going to be work combining them and any split files linked from them, but I think it would be worth it.

:By the way, I seem to have my own set of internal "wiki rules", like article titles always being singular and such. Of course, this site has no standards or manual of style other than what immigrants from WP bring with them (I think I have personally bolded 200 article title first uses!). So, thanks again, and if you want to hep with that music thing (I saw you had worked on both files) that would be great! [[User:Human|Human]] 21:03, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

I'm not quite sure what the point was, then, of going through the business of what is legitimate to copy and under what rules... I could certainly rewrite it, but it would essentially be a rephrasing of what's there, though probably somewhat more concise. That, in the end, seems to be a dodgy way round the copyright rules, since AFSC is the best source on their own work. It seems a worthy subject, suitably encyclopedic, and links to the Religious Society of Friends article to expand it. Let me know when you've considered what I've said here, and if necessary I will rewrite.--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 14:43, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

:The point is that AFSC only permits exact copying of all of the material. If Conservapedia is happy with keeping ''it in its exact present form, exactly as written by AFSC,'' then everything is fine. If Conservapedia wants the page to be open to editing and changing, then it's not fine to use the AFSC article as a starting point. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 14:49, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
::Well I have rewritten the article and have it saved as a document to use if necessary. I rewrote the first and last sections to add a better historical context, and left the middle sections - the mission statement and values sections - as they were, with the statement about copying. If you want me to post that, I can. I'll leave it until tomorrow to give people a chance to decide what to do about it. However, the point about rewriting is that there is no other real source for information that isn't taken from AFSC. I have rewritten it in a way that does not directly copy but uses the information, and I think that would be acceptable to the AFSC if it's acceptable to Conservapedia.--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 15:35, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

:I'm just not sure. It bothers me to keep turning it down; it seems ungracious. At the same time, I'm not sure what I'd do with sysop privileges. There's really no shortcut to dealing with people patiently, convincing them if you can, and shrugging and letting it go if you can't.

:Turning it down feels a little as if I'm pretending to be better than I really am. It doesn't mean I wouldn't ''like'' to swat people with a clue-by-four, and it doesn't mean I can always—or even often—get the patient-convincing-thing to work. I like to think I'm getting better with practice, though.

:With regard to protected pages: yeah, it's very frustrating, but if I can't convince stubborn sysop XYZ of certain things (and I can't!) then effectively I can't change the page anyway. That is, with sysop status I'd have the power to get into an edit war with sysop XYZ, but I wouldn't have the power to change the page and ''have it stay changed'' unless I can convince XYZ. And if I can convince XYZ, well, then I can "change the page" without sysop status, by convincing XYZ to change it.

:Probably best to leave things as they are. If the group wants to call me an "honorary sysop" I'd like that. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 15:31, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

Price discrimination

2007-05-16T07:17:07Z

AdrianP:

Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same [[good]] or [[service]] at different prices to different people, based on how much one thinks they can afford. In doing this, sellers attempt to capture additional profit from buyers who are willing to pay more. There are three degrees of price discrimination, ranked by effectiveness at capturing the consumer surplus for the producer. First-degree price discrimination targets individuals by pricing the commodity at how much they value it (i.e. on their demand curve). Second-degree price discrimination offers the good in varying quantities, with a different per-unit price depending on how much is bought (for example, by offering an "economy size"). Third-degree price discrimination divides the consumers into groups (such as students or the elderly) and offers different groups different prices. While price discrimination is typically thought of as exploitative of consumers, second- and third-degree price discrimination can make the good more affordable in some cases, thus contributing to some consumers' welfare.

== Requirements for Price Discrimination ==
There are three general requirements for price discrimination:

:#The firm must have market power. That is, it must face a downward-sloping demand curve. Perfectly competitive firms are price takers and cannot price discriminate.
:#Buyers with differing demand elasticities must be separable. This is the case for consumers of different ages, from different locations, and so on.
:#The firm must be able to prevent the resale of its goods so that those paying the lower price cannot resell their goods to those who should pay the higher price.
