Safe district

2010-03-08T01:09:51Z

RachelY:

A '''safe district''' is a legislative district in which the likely voters support one political party or the other by an overwhelmingly large margin. For example, [[liberal]] [[Democrat]] [[Nancy Pelosi]] represents a '''safe district''' of overwhelmingly Democratic voters in the [[San Francisco]] area, making it very unlikely that she would lose an election in 'her' area.

Talk:Lesbianism

2010-03-08T00:34:41Z

RachelY:

== Biblical reference ==

Should the article include a reference to the fact that, although the Bible prohibits male homosexuality, there is no similar prohibition in relation to lesbianism? I have often wondered why that was. Perhaps God is like Queen Victoria and just cannot believe that such things go on. --[[User:HGridley|HGridley]] 22:41, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
: I disagree! HGridley doesn't know what he is talking about. God is all-seeing (unlike Queen Victoria). He knows that such things go on. In any case the Bible does say that lesbianism is an abomination. The suggested edit should therefore not be made. This article should remain locked so that people like HGridley cannot insert their liberal bias. --[[User:HGridley|HGridley]] 16:52, 10 November 2008 (EST)
:: No, no, no! HGridley is wrong. The Bible says no such thing. God has no objection to lesbianism. It's male homosexuals that He is down on. In any case HGridley should be blocked for "talk, talk, talk". Just take a look at his/her contributions. --[[User:HGridley|HGridley]] 17:37, 10 November 2008 (EST)
:::That's just confusing. Which HGridley are you referring to? --[[User:HGridley|HGridley]] 17:44, 10 November 2008 (EST)

== Health issues: Imprecise wording ==

''In April of 2007, the American Journal of Public Health analyzed data...'' - that's probably imprecise. The journal only did the publishing, not the actual analysis. At least, that's the usual way with scientific articles - scientists do the work and then try to find a journal willing to publish the results. Most likely, the scientists weren't hired by the journal to do this specific study, and probably they weren't even paid by the journal, either. I'd suggest rewording the sentence to:
:''In April of 2007, a study analyzing data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth was published in the American Journal of Public Health. The data suggested that lesbian women were 2.69 times more likely...''
Maybe we could also mention the authors of the study, but I don't really think that adds any value to the article. [[User:Yoritomo|Yoritomo]] 12:15, 12 December 2009 (EST)

== Morality? ==
Is being a lesbian a sin? Does it mention anything against lesbians in the Bible? [[User:RachelY|RachelY]] 19:34, 7 March 2010 (EST)

Third World

2010-03-07T22:31:17Z

RachelY: Added that many third world countries have dictatorships as government and that many third world countries have government corruption. Cited transperancy.org corruption index.

During the [[Cold War]] period '''Third World''' referred to countries which didn't align themselves to either of the power blocks the [[US]] and its allies and the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and its allies. These nations formed the non-aligned movement. It was usually applied to the mostly developing nations of Africa, Latin America, and Asian countries.<ref>The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989</ref>

Since that time, third world refers to developing and undeveloped countries which have large scale poverty and low levels of economic development. Third world countries often have dictatorships as the form of central government, and in many third world countries government corruption is rampant.<ref>http://media.transparency.org/imaps/cpi2009/</ref>

Public school tyranny

2010-03-07T22:19:37Z

RachelY: Fixed spelling of 'victums' and 'tolerence'

'''Public school tyranny''' consists of [[liberal]] [[public school]] administrators engaging in exaggerated control and punishment of children, perhaps to make the administrators feel powerful. For example, a 12-year-old Hispanic girl in [[Queens, NY]] was removed from school in handcuffs after doodling on her desk. <ref>[http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/education/2010/02/05/2010-02-05_cuffed_for_doodling_on_a_desk.html "Cuffed For Doodling On a Desk"; ''New York Daily News'']</ref> The principal reportedly told the schoolgirl's mother that policy required the arrest. The principal's boss said the principal was "mistaken". <ref>[http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/education/2010/02/06/2010-02-06_cuffed_student_wont_draw_suspension.html "Cuffed Student Won't Draw Suspension"; ''New York Daily News'']</ref>

It is frequently employed to prevent free-thinking students from expressing views at variance with liberal orthodoxies.{{fact}}

Liberals at federal and state agencies require public schools to enforce zero-tolerance policies, which leave students and staff defenseless and restrict their right to property. Under these [[totalitarian]] decrees, good faith students, staff, and visitors are often reprimanded for having simple over the counter medications, virtually anything that could plausibly be used as a weapon (could be merely a box cutter, screw driver, or [[Boy Scouts of America]] issued pocket knife), anything that resembles a weapon (may be as simple as a squirt gun), and even simple electronic devices on campus. It is common for these rules to apply to anything stored in vehicles parked in school parking lots. Liberals often cite the [[Columbine High School massacre]] to support these liberal policies, despite the fact that the Columbine killers had been skipping school prior to the rampage, and such rules only leave the victims in these cases defenseless to a greater degree than otherwise.
