Birth control pill

Watershupman: your deletion is without merit, this information came from the same link that supports a link to different cancers. I can not possibly see WHY on earth you would want to suppress this.

The '''birth control pill''' (often just ''''the pill'''') is a carcinogenic method of female contraception that forces the unnatural release of [[hormone]]s. Most modern birth control pills use a combination of [[estrogen]] and [[progesterone]] to prevent egg release. The usual cycle is 21 days of the hormone treatments followed by 7 days off. It is during this 7 day off period when the [[menstruation]] cycle occurs.<ref>http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/contraception/contraception_birth.html</ref> It is possible for eggs to still release and fertilization to occur, but the hormone combination from the pill prevents the [[ovum]] from attaching to the [[uterus|uterine lining]], and therefore does not allow the normal cycle of [[pregnancy]] to commence.

"A meta-analysis published in the October issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings indicts oral contraceptives as putting premenopausal women at significantly increased risk for breast cancer, especially women who use them prior to having a child."<ref>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/10/061030143351.htm</ref> The World Health Organization has classified oral contraceptives as a group one carcinogen but also indicates that there is a decreased risk of of endometrial and ovarian cancer. WHO has acknowledged that much more work needs to be done on the subject to obtain more concrete results<ref>http://www.iarc.fr/ENG/Press_Releases/pr167a.html</ref>

Research indicates that use of the pill may increase the risk of [[breast cancer]] by 44%, the most common cancer in women, according to an analysis of 34 different studies.<ref>http://www.drkoop.com/newsdetail/93/8014817.html</ref> There is also an increased risk of cervical and liver cancer.

The pill will not prevent [[STD]]s and is not 100% effective. [[Abstinence]] is the only form of birth control that ensures against pregnancy and STDs.

The [[Catholic Church]] has condemned the use of the pill as a birth control method.

Watershupman: /* Views on prejudice and racism */

[[Image:Bll.png|thumb|right|Bill O' Reilly On The O' Reilly Report]]
'''Bill O'Reilly''' is a commentator and host of the show ''The O'Reilly Factor'' on the [[Fox News Channel]], which he calls the "No Spin Zone." O'Reilly often remarks that his personal [[political]] viewpoint is not captured by the modern [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] and [[Republican Party|Republican]] archetypes and would rather call himself a "traditionalist" and "independent". In this vein, he has expressed support for some positions not traditionally associated with his political supporters, instead associated with [[liberals]], including [[anthropogenic climate change]] and [[civil union]]s for both [[heterosexual]] and [[homosexual]] couples.

''The O'Reilly Factor'' is the highest-rated hour on any [[cable news channel]]. 5 million people nightly watch the show and there are millions more who listen to him on radio stations. <ref>[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/23/60minutes/main645202.shtml Bill O'Reilly: "No Spin"] Transcript 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace aired Sept. 26, 2004. </ref>

Recently [[Conservative|conservatives]] criticized Billy O'Reilly [http://www.conservapedia.com/Fox_News_Channel#Fox_News_Channel_and_Homosexuality regarding his views in relation to homosexuality].

==Views on prejudice and racism==

O'Reilly has condemned white [[racist]] prejudice against US blacks, although recently some remarks he made underscoring the fact that black-owned and [[Italian]]-owned restaurants are comparable were concluded to be [[passive racism]], instead of intending to inflict racial harm. The incident involved O'Reilly being genuinely surprised that a black owned restaurant contained mature and respectable adults and wasn't laden with profanity and insolence. Somce have claimed the remarks were taken out of context by the far-left "watchdog" group [[Media Matters]]. [http://mediamatters.org/items/200709260003?f=h_top] Some asserted outrage over his use of the term "lynching party" when discussing [[Michelle Obama]], though in actuality he was defending her and not using the term in a racist context.

==Criticism==
O'Reilly has often been accused of berating his guests. He is deeply disliked by many on the [[leftist|far-left]], who often accuse him of distorting facts or [[slander]]ing those unfriendly to his position. He has occasionally been criticized by conservatives on certain issues such as his stance on gun control.

==Trivia==

* O'Reilly and [[Stephen Colbert]] have a friendly rivalry {{fact}}, even appearing on each others' shows.

* O'Reilly is often called a "name caller" and a study by Indiana University concluded that: "Our results show a consistent pattern of O'Reilly casting non-Americans in a negative light. Both illegal aliens and foreigners were constructed as physical threats to the public and never featured in the role of victim or hero."<ref>{{cite web|author = Indiana University|url= http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/5535.html|title = Content analysis of O'Reilly's Rhetoric find spin to be a 'factor'}}</ref><ref>Mike Conway, Maria Elizabeth Grabe, and Kevin Grieves, "[http://journalism.indiana.edu/papers/oreillyjourstud07.pdf Villains, Victims, and the Virtuous in Bill O'Reilly's 'No-Spin Zone']," ''Journalism Studies'' 8:2 (2007).</ref>

Watershupman: reverting vandalism

[[Image:Wii.png|thumb|right|200px|Click for a high resolution view.]]
The '''Wii''' is a [[liberal]] video game console launched on November 19 2006 by [[Nintendo]]. Its major selling point is the inclusion of motion sensitive controllers such as the "Wiimote" and the "Nunchuk". Popular games for Wii include [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]], [[Super Mario Galaxy]], [[Super Paper Mario]], [[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]], and [[Wii Sports]]. Nintendo is expected to release several new popular titles for the Wii in the coming years.

===Controversy===

Nintendo has come under fire from several noted [[Christian]] leaders for their motion sensitive controller which they describe as "sorcery, and that of the devil himself".

Hello world!

Talk:Essay:Conservapedia Awards

2008-05-14T23:22:15Z

Watershupman:

== Name of the Award ==

Suggestions:

* The [[William F. Buckley]] Award, for the first commentator in modern memory to make the case for [[conservative values]].
* The [[Ronald Reagan]] Award, after the one [[President of the United States]] in recent memory who has put those ideals into practice.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 13:38, 12 May 2008 (EDT)
::You and I think alike. I put my suggestion on the main page, though. It'd have a cool nickname, too: the Ronny. [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 16:14, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

::: That's clever: the "Ronny"!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:08, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps we should coin a new name. Shocking as this may be, most of students have no recollection of Reagan. Most were born after he was president. Also, other awards are named after Reagan and even liberals invoke his memory now!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:29, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

== Makers of wiki ==
You are of course aware that the makers of the wiki software is the Wikimedia Foundation, the charity that run by Jim Wales, which owns Wikipedia, that has such an awful Liberal bias that you had to create this? [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 22:20, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

: No, the makers of the wiki software were individuals who volunteered their time, not an entity that has been taken over by a [[liberal]] mob.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:26, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

:: Check out there [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki website] down the bottom in the little bar it say "A Wikimedia Foundation Project". The wikimedia foundation owns this Wikipedia and about 8 other projects. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 23:10, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

::: That's silly, and says nothing about who developed the wiki software. If anything, that denies credit where credit is due.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:13, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

:::: Actually the irony only just occured to me. MediaWiki is funded by the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation gets most of it contributions through Wikipedia. Your website relise on MediaWiki, ergo your website relise on the donations brought in through Wikipedia. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 23:14, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

It is written the same way other open source projects are like LaTeX. Who ever happens to stop by and write some code. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 23:17, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

: In other words, you don't give credit where credit is due either, like Wikipedia itself.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:24, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

:: Oh no! Nobody thanks you. Is that why you started Conservapedia nobody thanked you for your help at Wikipedia?

:: All open source projects are like this lots of people do lots of work and nobody gets any recongition unless you creck open the code and have a look (LaTeX style files usually have the authors name commented out somewhere at the top of the source code). People have reasons other than recongnition when they participate in open source projects. LaTeX for example, you wanted to do something, you couldn't find a style file to do so you write one yourself and then upload it to the CTAN website so other people arn't met with the same problem. Nobody gets recognised but everyone gets something out of it. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 01:15, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

I could be wrong, but it looks like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham this guy] is the one who should be thanked, not Jimbo Wales. Took me about a minute to find that out. [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 01:00, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

: He invented the first wiki, not the software that powers Conservapedia. The software that powers Conservapedia is the same as the one that powers Wikipedia, which is the one that produced by people who submit program code to MediaWiki project in order to create Wikipedia. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 01:15, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

::And Henry Ford just invented the modern assembly line, not the robots that work on them today. No need to recognize him for anything. [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 13:34, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

::Right. And Thomas Edison merely invented the first light bulb, not the ones we use today. No one should bother recognizing Edison either!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:00, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

::: William Hammer did alot of the ground work research for the light bulb. He worked in Edison's lab and after the lab as a whole developed the light globe Edison took it and patented it. It looks like you enjoy rewarding the person who took the credit rather than the people who did the work, you should give your "award" to Jim Wales than. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 18:43, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

::::So now you're agreeing with us. How convenient. How typical! Your arguments are a joke. It doesn't matter what Jimbo Wales actually did - you just want him to get an award from Conservapedia. Please go troll elsewhere. (And from your edit history, looks like you're here pretty much just to [[Conservapedia:Guidelines#90.2F10_rule|talktalktalk]] anyway.) [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 11:52, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

:::::I didn't say I wanted to give Jim Wales an award, I said that you are ignoring the fact that the software you use was developed with support (bandwidth of the website, ect.) from money raised through Wikipedia. Andy must have relised this when he was on their website downloading the files.

:::::Your websites existence is entirly dependent on Wikipedia and any "award" for wikis will have to go in part to the Wikimedia Foundation for providing the platform for developing wikis. [[User:DanielB|DanielB]] 19:08, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

:::::: Jimxmchue, don't bother responding. DanielB did not take your hint and he violated the [[90/10 rule]], and has been appropriately blocked for it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:21, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

:::::: Daniel, we do not want to hear you liberal propaganda! You probably found such information ON wikipedia, and don't get me started on how bad of an idea it is to be reading information off of such liberal sites.--[[User:Watershupman|Watershupman]] 19:22, 14 May 2008 (EDT)
