EmersonW: I didn't like the sound of that sentence

'''Tangle.com''' (formerly GodTube, Tangle.com early 2009)<ref>http://www.tangle.com/support/aboutus</ref> is the name of a [[Christian]] online video broadcasting community similar in concept to [[YouTube]].

Created in January of 2007 by its CEO, former Dallas Theological Seminary student Chris Wyatt, it is an unabashedly Christian version of very popular social networking sites. It features videos of people singing, preaching and performing stand-up comedy, parodies and skits. It has over 1500 videos, which are viewed by 50,000-60,000 unique visitors daily. One of the most popular is a parody entitled "Baby got Book".

You can, however, find all of its videos on YouTube, as they're all hosted on YouTube.

EmersonW: youtube is bleeding green

'''YouTube''' is a popular [[Internet]] site that allows users to share videos. The "YouTube Generation" was named ''[[Time magazine|Time]]'' magazine's ''[[Person of the Year]]'' for 2006.<ref>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html</ref>
In October 2006, Youtube was purchased by [[Google]] Inc.
Controversy arose after people such as [[Michelle Malkin]] claimed that it censored [[conservative]] content, <ref>http://michellemalkin.com/2006/10/04/banned-on-youtube-3/</ref>. This led the creation of [[QubeTV]], similar to the creation of Conservapedia by people who believed [[Wikipedia]] to be [[liberal]], and the Christian alternative, [[GodTube]], which has now re-named itself<ref>[http://mashable.com/2009/03/10/tangle/ GodTube is Born Again as MySpace-Like Tangle] Mashable</ref> "[http://www.tangle.com/ Tangle]".

On July 23, 2007, YouTube hosted an interactive debate between the [[Democratic]] candidates in the [[2008 Presidential Election]], in which YouTube users submitted videos of themselves asking questions. A similar debate involving the [[Republican]] candidates occurred on November 28. This led to controversy, as they used a question submitted by [[Keith Kerr]], who has ties to [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign.<ref>http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23698</ref>

On August 6, 2007, a group of music publishing companies announced a [[lawsuit]] against YouTube for its hosting of [[copyright]]ed content without providing proper compensation to the copyright holders when the videos containing the content were viewed.<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070806/ap_on_hi_te/youtube_music_publishers;_ylt=AmjdpxJDZVebD_Qp.hhWImKs0NUE</ref>

Much of Youtube is vehemently anti-conservative. Over 60% of Christian videos with more than 5,000 views are rated at 2.5 stars or lower. Liberal videos, however, while often being much more poorly made, are usually rated at least 4 stars. Christian comments on most videos frequently attract insults by atheists. <ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52405</ref> In order to combat this vicious slander, Conservapedia has started [http://www.youtube.com/user/conservapediavideos its own YouTube channel].

Youtube may be opperating at a loss of nearly half a billion dollars a year. <ref>http://www.slate.com/id/2216162/</ref> Suggesting that it may be a loss leader for parent company [google] or perhaps an investment in changing the landscape of information flow in the public. Attempts to reduce the costs and increase profitable content have been met with hostility.

== VIRGINIA TECH ==

So - is NOW a good time to discuss things like waiting periods (I beleive Virginia has none), conceal laws(Virginia lets you do that) and other such unpleasantries???? [[User:Jacobin|Jacobin]]

:It's all simpering Liberal nonsense. If those students had ALL been packing heat, one of them could have taken him down before he killed too many people! --[[User:BobD|BobD]] 20:35, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

::One guy got mad at me once and socked me in the jaw. Glad he wasn't "packing heat". [[User:Human|Human]] 20:41, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

::Yes. Im sure everyone knows how moody students can be - particually after a breakup. Having lots of readily-available guns anywhere near them is just asking for one to be pulled on impulse. Or for fun. Or to show off. Or stolen. Arming the teachers is a slightly better idea, but there is still to much potential for guns to fall into student hands unless the gun-locker security is made so tight it would be difficult to get the guns out in time if they were actually needed.
:::I have met two people who died of bullet wounds. One was a very unhappy person, a good friend to many people I know. he bought a gun. specially for the purpose. and killed himself on Hampton Beach NH one night.

:::Another person I knew worked at a restaurant/bar/place I went to every Monday night to see this great band they used to get. he was a line cook. he bought, I think, a 9mm thingie. he used to swing it around, play with it drunk. he, i guess made a mistake. he pointed it at this other guy who worked there after hours one night and pulled the trigger thing. '''BANG''' the other guy is dead. he's dead. he willnever get to knwo any of things that we idly type about this night or any other. the dumb@ss guy with the gun who didn't know how to handle it (not drunk!) is in jail. ok, that's my story, no caps on purpose due to the sadness of these things. i don't have any stories of '''HEROES''' with guns killing crazy people. just two dead guys. [[User:Human|Human]] 01:10, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
::::Wow, Human, that's pretty heavy stuff. I'm totally with you on gun control. All the way. I'm sorry you've lost two people who you knew well.-'''AmesG'''[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!] 01:11, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
:::::Heavy? It's just dead people! Here, they love dead people! Guns for everyone! KILL KILL KILL

:::::These people think they love Jesus. I love Jesus, I think he was great dude. jesus (uncaps intentional for once) was not a killer. not a gun dude. there's a great divide coming for this site, which I have already outlined somewhere. Mr. Andrew Schlafly, Esq., trial lawyer but bad writer, is gonna get his in the press. Even though his [[User:Human/Classic_Conservapedia|little blog]] makes him feel good now. And, thank you for your sympathy & tea. Yeah, those were tough times. How do you move on from that? [[User:Human|Human]] 02:06, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

When considering this, the most important question is a comparison: Would the number of lives saved by reducing the severity of crazy shoters be greater than the number of lives lost to increased rates of gun-related accidents or abuse? I would guess no - student breakdowns like the VT incident are very rare, while cases of student stupidity are not. - [[User:Suricou|Suricou]]

:And I thought we ''had'' that discussion after Columbine. I've seen on this site alone what strange things people think about weapons of personal destruction (see above) Maybe '''next time'''? [[User:Human|Human]] 20:41, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

== This article is difficult to read ==

I am not a fan of the format of this article, big long sections made of short paragraphs can be difficult to read. I'd like to see more people reading and learning about the importance of guns (for more than just home protection and hunting, which are cop out reasons as I see them). --[[User:EmersonW|EmersonW]] 20:30, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

Golf

2009-04-27T00:25:12Z

EmersonW:

'''Golf''' is a [[sport]] that is played by hitting a small ball over long distances with the use of a long metal or wooden club, with the intent of hitting the ball into a very small hole hundreds of feet away. There are 18 ranges on a standard golf course, commonly referred to as "holes." Some courses provide abbreviated nine hole courses as well. Originally a golf course had 10 holes, and players would play from one to the next accross 9 ranges out from and then back in to the first hole, this is where the 18 holes originated.

Golf has become a popular sport, with several professional tours being run by groups such as the [[PGA|Professional Golf Association]] (PGA) or Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) where top prizes can reach $800,000. Only a few people ever play at a professional, level but many more enjoy Golf as a past time or social event.

The four most prestigious tournaments in the golfing calendar (or 'majors') are the United States Open, the US PGA tournament, the Masters, and the British Open (simply called 'the Open' in [[Britain]]). The Masters is always held at [[Augusta]] in [[Georgia]], while the other three are held at a different course each year.

EmersonW: /* Is Tillman a conservative? */ new section

==still not sure of the claim that media reports were a liberal hitjob but left that in for now.==

Let me just say this, I am not sourcing "the liberal media attacking Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush." It's widely known already.

:I'm not asking you to, nor am I disputing that. It's just that from what I recall of the story, there was blame placed on the military, not the executive branch. --[[User:Commodore Guff|KevinS]] 23:20, 19 December 2008 (EST)

== Is Tillman a conservative? ==

I seem to remember hearing that Tillman, like his entire family, was an Atheist and a Registered Democrat. --[[User:EmersonW|EmersonW]] 20:23, 26 April 2009 (EDT)
