<nowiki>'''The United States Naval Academy,''' located in [[Annapolis]], [[Maryland]], is a four-year, collegiate level military academy that produces officers for the [[United States Navy]] and the [[United States Marine Corps]]. Graduates receive a comission as either an ensign in the Navy or a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, and may choose from a number of career branches within each service such as surface warfare, submarines, naval aviation, and special warfare (SEALs).

== Academic Program ==

The Naval Academy offers 22 majors separated into three groups:
Group I (Engineering): Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Systems Engineering
Group II (Math and Science): Chemistry, Computer Science, General Science, Information Technology, Mathematics, Oceanography, Physics, Quantitative Economics
Group III (Humanities and Social Sciences): Arabic, Chinese, Economics, English, History, Political Science

In addition, each midshipmen is required to complete a core syllabus of math, science, and engineering to include:

One year chemistry, one year physics, four semesters of math including Calculus through Calculus III, one year electrical engineering, one semester naval architecture, one semester thermodynamics, and one semester weapons engineering.

This heavy emphasis on science and engineering is reflected in the degree each midshipmen receives. All midshipmen graduate with a bachelor of science, even those who completed a group III major.

Each midshipman also takes at least one class each semester on a professional topic including:

Two semesters of navigation and seamanship, two semesters of leadership, one semester of ethics, one semester of naval law, and one semester dedicated to the career path the midshipman has chosen.

Finally, each midshipman takes a number of humanities classes including:

One semester of naval history, Two semesters of English, and one semester of American government.

<nowiki>[[File:New Walmart logo.gif|right|thumb|250px|The Wal-Mart logo and slogan]]

'''Wal-Mart''' is America's largest private employer,<ref>[[Christian Science Monitor]]. [http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0219/p01s04-usec.html Wal-Mart: world's largest company]</ref> running a chain of department stores. The company was founded by [[Sam Walton]] in Arkansas in 1962. Walton was a [[Christian]] and tried to make his store pro-family. The current Wal-Mart CEO is Lee Scott. Wal-Mart also owns the "Sam's Club" chain of wholesale stores and the "Asda" chain of superstores across the [[United Kingdom]].
It is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Wal-Mart is America's premier example of free market economics

* when Wal-Mart opens its supercenters -- variety plus grocery stores -- in a community, the average grocery prices in that community fall by 13 percent. Even the people who don't shop at Wal-Mart benefit from its presence. [http://americandreamcoalition.org/automobility/automobility.html]

Wal-Mart is often the subject of criticism for allegedly paying low [[wage]]s with insufficient [[fringe benefit|health benefits]] and allegedly forcing "Mom and Pop" stores out of business. It was also criticized for supporting [[homosexuality]]<ref>[http://www.gay.com/news/article.html?2006/08/21/4 "Wal-Mart launches gay-friendly initiative" August 21, 2006]</ref> and for not dispensing [[abortion]] inducing drugs at its pharmacies. The company's defenders reply that Wal-Mart tries to uphold a family value system and is a well-known provider of decent employment and affordable merchandise across America and the rest of the world. Wal-Mart's wages average significantly higher than minimum wage, which may explain why nearly 2 million people choose to work for Wal-Mart.

It has also been criticized for selling imports of products manufactured in [[China]]<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/secrets/wmchina.html Is Wal-Mart good for America?]</ref> despite the fact that most other retailers also sell Chinese imports. Wal-Mart has asked Premiere Radio Networks not to air its commercials during [[The Rush Limbaugh Show]].<ref>[http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012/03/12/442673/141-companies-advertisng-rush-limbaugh/?mobile=nc Thinkprogress.org]</ref>

==Wal-Mart in the U.K.==
Wal-Mart entered the U.K. in 1999 following its purchase of the Asda supermarket chain, taking over around 300 stores which remain under the Asda brand name. Wal-Mart's performance, however, has failed to meet Wall Street's expectations, and its 16% share of British grocery spending has not changed over the last eight years, partly because of the company's inability to pursue its usual expansion strategy of oversaturating markets. In the United States Wal-Mart has driven its growth by building massive superstores that dwarf all of a town's existing businesses combined and that are spaced relatively close together across a region. This strategy has enabled Wal-Mart to overwhelm local economies and force out tens of thousands of small businesses through over-development.
[[Image:Asda.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The company's U.K. logo]]
Wal-Mart has had more difficulty employing this tactic in the U.K. due to the legislation known as "Planning Policy Statement 6" (''PPS6''), which requires local governments to keep retail development in town centers and to limit retail development on the outskirts unless there is a clear, well-defined need.<ref>''Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres'' [http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/professionals/en/1020432884848.html Planning Portal]. Accessed 22 January 2008</ref> Wal-Mart has lobbied heavily for the removal of the "needs test".

In 2006 Asda-Wal-Mart were ordered to pay $1.66 million for breaking U.K. law by offering illegal inducements to workers to quit a trade union. Around 340 drivers and warehouse staff at a distribution depot in the north-east of England were offered a 10% pay rise if they left the union. The members rejected the offer. A court established that the legislation had been breached and the company was ordered to pay every worker at the depot almost $5000 each in compensation.<ref>''Asda fined for trying to make workers quit union'' [http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2006/feb/11/supermarkets.tradeunions The Guardian], 11 February 2006. Accessed 22 January 2008</ref>

In December 2007 Asda-Wal Mart was one of several companies that were fined over $225 million after admitting that they fixed the price of milk, cheese and butter in a scandal estimated to have cost U.K. consumers about $526 million.<ref>''Supermarkets fined for price fixing'' [http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/dec/08/supermarkets.asda The Guardian], 8 December 2007. Accesed 22 January 2008</ref>

==Biblical Action Figures==

[[Image:Daniel and the Lion's Den - Biblical Action Figure.jpg|right|thumb]]

Wal-Mart said it will test sales in some [[store]]s of [[biblical]] [[action figure]]s whose makers (the [[toy]]s are made by [http://store.messengersoffaith.net/ One2believe]) say they are aimed at [[Christian]] [[parent]]s who prefer their [[children]] play with [[Samson]], [[David]] or [[Noah]] rather than with a [[comic book character]] or [[Bratz doll]]. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289689,00.html</ref>

== [[United Nations]] ==

Could you provide a cite for your statement that the U.N. supports mainly socialist, liberal ideas? It's not that I'm disagreeing, but statements like that typically need citations (unless things have changed in the past 3 months). -- [[User:JLauttamus|Jeff W. Lauttamus]][[User_talk:JLauttamus|Discussion]] 19:39, 6 February 2010 (EST)
:Thought it to be pretty much common sense, but I'll find a citation and add it. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 19:40, 6 February 2010 (EST)
:I found three references and added them. I realize we usually don't reference Wikipedia, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to throw that one in there with the other references. When even Wikipedia says they're socialist... [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 19:58, 6 February 2010 (EST)
::Ehh, it basically is common knowledge. The Wikipedia reference actually helps the argument in this case, methinks. I found another citation that I'll add right now.

== Public Schools....."Much Less Impressive" ? ==

And your contributions to society would be? Palin directly enriched the citizens of her state by tens of thousands of dollars each, by changing the royalty structure that the oil and gas companies have to pay...that, in and of itself, ranks pretty high in the over-all accomplishments of any elected official, ever. And you should not have forgotten that she is also an evangelical Christian. What were you thinking? --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big>/Admin[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]] 05:39, 1 October 2010 (EDT)
:I don't consider Sarah Palin "much less impressive," but she did attend public school. I did read the "much less impressive" part, but didn't quite understand that the list was ''only'' to consist of "less impressive" members of society since [[Medal of Honor]] recipents were also listed. I took the ''much less impressive'' to mean that the list was much less impressive, despite that list being longer (at the time) than the list of Before 1962 graduates.

== Please consider creating these articles ==

=== Please consider Creating a feminism and obesity article ===

Please consider creating a [[Feminism and obesity]] article at Conservapedia and cite this material: http://voxday.blogspot.com/2011/02/feminism-is-good-for-children.html

In addition, have the web page list some overweight and/or obese feminists with some pictures of some overweight feminists. You can also have the article link to Conservapedia's [[atheism and obesity]] article and then have the [[Atheism and obesity]] article link to the [[Feminism and obesity]] article.

Also, you could also cite a thin Conservative woman (with her picture also featured) criticizing feminism! :)

You could then incorporate the [[Feminism and obesity]] content into the [[Feminism]] article.

I am going to take my 90 day vacation from Conservapedia so I won't be creating this article. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 19:06, 5 February 2011 (EST)

Please create a [[Chub (gay culture)]] article. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girth_and_mirth Then have that article link the [[Atheism and obesity]] article plus we can have the [[Atheism and obesity]] article link to the [[Chub (gay culture)]] article.

== Thanks again! ==

Thanks for fixing up my blundered article on Ada Lovelace. If you're wondering what was going on, I couldn't get through from my home computer, so I had to use a proxy. The proxy was horribly broken, wouldn't let me get through the captcha so I couldn't do the external link, and it also kept breaking the picture link. Then it stopped even letting me see Conservapedia at all. And by then the damage was done and I couldn't undo it. :-( Even a reboot of my machine didn't help. So I contacted Andy by email; he fixed it so I could access CP from my computer, but then the connection went down again. Another round of email; things seem to be OK now. If I were superstitious I would knock on wood, as they say. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 20:36, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

==Pithy==
Let's not drag this into the realm of ad hominem insults. If I must change my name, then I will, but I assure you, this "Whiny Little Atheist" has a stack of facts and logic to back up his claims. Short and sweet, I don't want to cause problems with anyone, but you're free to call me whatever you like. Just know that any harsh words you levy will be met with equal recourse.
:You must really want to be blocked. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 21:23, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Why would I want to be blocked? As far as I can tell, I've done and said nothing contrary to the Conservapedia Commandments. Last I checked, the realm was open to opposing views (Not talk page debates, which is where this seems to be headed rather quickly). Let's not forget that you cast the first stone into the realm of personal attacks, and I had levied no complaints against any users. I only had an issue with the way atheists were unfairly represented, and with the lack of reasonable evidence to support the claims made in the thread.

But again, to be clear, I will not mince words. I do not want to cause problems, like I've already said; however, if you do choose to insult me in the future, I will not refrain from rebuttal. Let us hope we can both be civil about this and move past Religious differences. [[User:KiloByter|KiloByter]] 22:08, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

We are a drama free wiki, and we don't have time to endlessly debate about religion. By the way, you can sign your posts using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

==Obamacare==
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyjLNt3EMTE&feature=related Obamacare is kind of like this]

==Conservatives VS. Liberals==
American Conservatives, like myself, cherish American traditions that make this nation so great. Our founding fathers recognized the problem with large government and took great efforts to prevent our nation from becoming the same type of dictatorship that England was at the time. We support freedom of religion and the right to bear arms that the liberals and atheists try so hard to censor. We see that marriage should be between a man and a woman. American liberals have no respect for tradition, and they fail to recognize that radical changes for the worse will destroy our great nation. They label [[Christians]] as "close minded" for embracing their beliefs. Ironically, it's really the [[atheists]] and [[pagans]] who are "close minded" as they cannot tolerate Christians minding our own business. Liberals believe that capitalism, a wonderful system which is a main reason why our nation is so great, is evil, and they believe in [[communism]]. They complain about minor or even manufactured problems with our outstanding health care system, which is coveted by many foreign nations, and they falsely claim that other nations have better systems. They will never be satisfied, not even with our great American system. Liberals, in my opinion, are anti-American. In contrast, conservatives are patriots; we desire to conserve America and every traditional piece of the puzzle that makes our nation so better than the [[socialistic]] nations elsewhere.

==Privatization: It's a beautiful thing==
Here in America, we have become used to certain industries, ranging from [[landfills]] to [[public schools]] to [[transportation]], being socialized. [[Socialism]] hiders the ability for these industries to improve and prosper. Below are some of my ideas for how privatization can improve our way of life.
===Landfills===
Landfills are obsolete a lot like the health care systems in Canada, Cuba, and the United Kingdom. Private enterprise would dispose of waste in more profitable and eco-friendly ways. See [[Essay:Resisting Socialist Landfills]]
===Public Schools===
In America, our public schools are suffering as a result of being socialist. If a teacher so much as mentions God, he or she risks being the subject of great controversy should a radical atheist hears it. Furthermore, there are students more interested in causing trouble than learning in our schools. They disrupt students who are genuinely interested in learning. If public schools were privatized into a non-profit organization, great improvements could be made: [[intelligent design]] could be taught along side of [[evolution]] without atheist interference, and troublemakers could more easily be expelled from the system. Students and teachers would be free to be Christian or Jewish without having to worry about atheist complaints. It would be a capitalist system, and if the atheist minority had a problem with it, they could always homeschool their children; Christians have been doing it for quite some time.</nowiki>
