&lt;div&gt;Eliminating trans fats may not help with obesity, but it does help to impede cholesterol problems, therefore that sentence should be changed.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 13:37, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:funny thing about transfat bans is that they aren't used very often, and that they don't make things tastier (that would be regular and saturated fats).  Transfats are used because they are resilient to time.  You will find them mostly in frosting and candy bars.  I always though a fat tax would be better than a ban.  That way the government could either increase revenue or discourage unhealthy eating patterns.  Like we do with cigarettes.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 13:21, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Forgot the sig last time. I think that's a good idea, but with the way we measure obesity, namely with BMI, muscular people tend to be mis-categorized. One must be careful with how such is implemented.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 13:37, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Oh no!  I meant fat content ''on food.''  Not on people.  That'd be horrible!  For example: a hamburger would be taxed where salad would not.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 13:42, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::I see. But what about things such as olive oil, which are in fact pretty healthy. Really, people gain much more weight from carbs. They are everywhere. But all of these are required to have a balanced diet, and the problem is when people don't know when to stop or how to eat healthy. I guess a tax or ban wouldn't help that any.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 13:45, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::You are incorrect.  Too much olive oil and you will suffer from it.  I think the best way to encourage a balanced diet is to &lt;br /&gt;
#Provide education as to what exactly that entails&lt;br /&gt;
#Make sure everyone has access to the foods required of it&lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 13:56, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Well of course too much of anything will likely cripple and/or kill you. Even vegetables, though for most things you'd have to consume an insane amount. As to your two points, the problem with the education is that there is still much that we don't know, and what may work for one person will fail spectacularly for another, and that there's so much information which is dated or even totally incorrect. Most people tend to follow what their parents told them growing up or even totally misunderstand what information is available. You can't force people to change their beliefs, however incorrect they may prove to be. There's already a variety of everything that anyone can get. The problem is that to 'save money' or to save time, people will go for that quick and easy junk food. Again, because we get locked into habits that are extremely difficult to break.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 14:12, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Don't confuse education with indoctrination.  As for the availability of foods, it also comes down to preparation, procurement, and preservation.  A parent buying solely junk food for their convenience to feed their children could be countered by (somehow) providing fresh and prepared food with the same facility of Kraft Mac and Cheese.  And as for olive oil, fat is fat (technically, liquid fats are oils, but you know what I mean, right?).  Transfat and saturated fat, because of their chemical composition rendering their form inflexible, are harder to get rid of, but don't delude yourself into thinking you have no risk of putting on weight when you put some vinaigrette in your salad.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If we continue this debate, know that I have made many talk page edits recently and do not wish to violate the 90/10 rule, so I will respond much later if at all--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 14:20, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::One last thing then. I think that healthy yet delicious and easy to prepare products aren't made much because they don't make a lot of money for the companies at the moment. It's funny that people who eat salads heap obscene amounts of dressing and think they're eating healthy. And I'll go on record saying that the 90/10 is the most retarded thing I've ever heard of.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 14:25, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Has anyone ever thought to create a Conservapedia Facebook account? [[User:JY23|JY23]] 20:57, 20 September 2008 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concerns ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wouldn't it be appropriate to mention that the privacy controls on Facebook are much better than on other networking sites? The article as it stands makes it sound like anyone's personal information will be available for everyone on the internet to see (as with MySpace), but in truth under the default privacy settings it would only be viewable by people in the same university or network, and privacy levels for every item can be customized. The Bob Jones article about employers using Facebook to research applicants does not seem to take this into consideration either, which makes me question its reliability as a source. The article is completely devoid of details (which employers are doing it), and seems not to notice that it would be mostly impossible for an employer to do this on Facebook.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm giving this one 48 hours for debate, and will trim the &amp;quot;concerns&amp;quot; section accordingly if no one objects. [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 17:49, 17 May 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Done. [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 16:50, 20 May 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::Okay, but that's like saying using a condom while being promiscuous is less risky than not using one. It's still risky (among other things). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::If there's a social networking website with less risk (and higher morals), let's identify and promote it. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 15:20, 5 August 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See Main Page news item I just placed.  The Marine Corps has identified all major social networking sites as too vulnerable to malware and other malicious problems, and blocked them from its entire network..... --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;/Admin&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 15:25, 5 August 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
The Privacy Issues section only has ''one'' source, and that AllExperts page looks out of date... For example, it says only people with a valid school-email address (or from certain other organizations) may sign up, not true anymore... Also un-sourced: &amp;quot;Facebook refuses to admit that its privacy settings that apparently allow only &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; to see certain information are completely bogus and can easily be cracked by people with little to no hacking experience. Instead, Facebook actually encourages young users to only allow &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; to see certain information, rather than just warning them that what they post can be seen by the world and to not post what they wouldn't want people to see.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Liberal? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This website seems to be vehemently opposed to facebook, claiming it is liberal. Is allowing people to have their relationship status with another of the same sex really enough to make the website &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot;? Also the page mentions that the site leads to divorce. What does that have to do with liberalism? If the site really does lead to divorce it is only because people can see what their spouses are doing when they think no one is looking, something that has nothing to do with facebook's policies but rather infidelity in and of itself. This is probably the most bizzare article on conservapedia.&lt;br /&gt;
:The real problem with facebook is that something like 80% of the users are complete idiots. Just take a look at facebookfails. On another note, I don't think that the opinions of those who work somewhere represent the site itself. Facebook is primarily composed of whatever someone decides to write about, whether they be leftist/conservative/neo-Nazi or whatever. That sentence should be removed.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 14:17, 15 June 2011 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Pope Benedict XVI 1.jpg|right|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
His Holiness '''Benedict XVI''' ('''Joseph Alois Ratzinger''', born April 16, 1927 in [[Bavaria]]) is the current [[Pope]] (2005- ) of the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. He succeeded Pope [[John Paul II]].&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhat infamous for looking a bit like ''Star Wars'' character Emperor Palpatine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early Life==&lt;br /&gt;
He was born in Marktl am Inn, [[Germany]] on April 16, 1927. As a child, he lived in Traunstein where much of his philosophy developed. Ratzinger joined the [[Hitler Youth]] in 1939 - membership being required by law - but was unenthusiastic and refused to attend meetings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;new_pope_defied_nazis&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://bc.edu/research/cjl/meta-elements/texts/cjrelations/topics/new_pope_defied_nazis.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  At the end of 1944, he was drafted into the German Army and assigned to the Traustein Garrison. He deserted in April or May 1945. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;new_pope_defied_nazis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Blanco, Pablo. A Biography of Joseph Ratzinger.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ratzinger's father opposed Nazism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education==&lt;br /&gt;
He studied at the higher School of Freising and the University of Munich, receiving a Doctor of Theology Degree in 1953.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ordination==&lt;br /&gt;
He was ordained to the priesthood of the Catholic Church on June 29, 1951.   &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
==Appointment to the See of Munich==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Firma papal.jpg|thumb|Signature.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pope Paul VI]] appointed Father Ratzinger Archbishop of the Archdiocese of [[Munich]] and Freisling on March 25, 1977.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Cardinal==&lt;br /&gt;
He was chosen to membership in the [[College of Cardinals]] by Pope [[Paul VI]] on June 27, 1977. He was thereafter known as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. On November 25, 1981, Pope [[John Paul II]] named Cardinal Ratzinger &amp;quot;Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith&amp;quot;, one of the major Curial institutions of the [[Holy See]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==College Positions==&lt;br /&gt;
On November 6, 1998, Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Vice-Dean of the College of Cardinals. On November 30, 2002 he was elected Dean.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Accession to the Papacy==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Popebenedictbirthday.jpg|right|His Holiness Benedict XVI p.p. on his 80th Birthday|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
On April 2, 2005, John Paul II passed away. Following the prescribed mourning period, the College of Cardinals was summoned to the Vatican for the Papal Conclave. Cardinal Ratzinger was widely regarded as one of the strongest candidates for election to the papacy, both for his expertise in theological matters and his reputation as a conservative. On April 19, 2005, after a prior false signal, white smoke appeared at the chimney of the [[Sistine Chapel]], signalling the election of a new pope. There were reports that several rounds of voting were needed before Ratzinger achieved the super majority that was required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As in the past, the Cardinal Protodeacon, Jorge Cardinal Medina Estevez, appeared on the balcony and proclaimed the following;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Habemus Papam!&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dominum Joseph,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalem Ratzinger,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Qui sibi nomen imposuit Benedict XVI.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(I announce to you all a great joy:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We have a pope!&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A most Eminent and Reverend Lord,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On April 2008, Pope Benedict XVI made his first visit to the [[United States]]. He celebrated mass at [[Washington D.C.]] in a baseball stadium and then at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick and also Yankee Stadium in [[New York City]]. During this journey he became the first pope to visit an American [[synagogue]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;We need your message to reject this dictatorship of relativism and embrace a culture of justice and truth,&amp;quot;''  said [[George W. Bush]] welcoming Benedict to the [[White House]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Social Networking==&lt;br /&gt;
The Vatican has expressed its desire to communicate to the world's 1 billion Catholics via the internet. The Pope has created the website [http://www.pope2you.net Pope2You] with applications geared toward [[Facebook]], its [[YouTube]] video channel, [[iPhone]] apps and WikiCath. Presentation of the message says,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote| ''Be sure to announce the Gospel to your contemporaries with enthusiasm. You know their fears and their hopes, their aspirations and their disappointments: the greatest gift you can give to them is to share with them the &amp;quot;Good News&amp;quot; of a God who became man, who suffered, died and rose again to save all people.''}}&lt;br /&gt;
