Resolved Question: Are There Any Forums/People I Can Post On/Email Regarding Questions About Civil Rights?

I wanted to ask them some things, for example, what MLK was referring to when he said: "I often find when decent treatment for the Negro is urged, a certain class of people hurry to raise the scarecrow of social mingling and intermarriage. These questions have nothing to do with the case. And most people who kick up this kind of dust know that it is simple dust to obscure the real question of rights and opportunities. It is fair to remember that almost the total of race mixture in America has come, not at Negro initiative, but by the acts of those very white men who talk loudest of race purity." or Why, if the majority of the public were Christian did they not support black people in their initiative for equal rights and what excuses they made as a result Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Are banks and insurance firms controlling our lives?

I mean in this day and age you will need credit card to finance a decent house or a respectable car. The banks decide what determines good credit and responsible account holder. They supposedly have this"Fair Credit Reporting Act" and "Equal Opportunity Act". But what they decide to be a responsible person is open to their interpretation. I always thought if a person pays his debt back on time he is responsible, and ANYTHING else should NOT matter. But unfortunately there is more to it than that. Unless a person works for 15 years for big investments, then he won't have anything worth anything. And for insurance, what is up with the fact they can't give people their statistics and formulas that determine rates. The only lame excuse they give you is they don't want other companies "stealing" their data. Well then insurance should just be ran by the government. It might as well be especially any mandatory car insurance which is a "government sanction private business". But the the issue with insurance, is that they can't say or are allowed to say exactly why a person pays the determined premium. And if you file too many claims they can drop you. What about car insurance you have to have that or you can't drive. Driving is necessary part of modern life. Most people canNOT ride a bike, bus, pay for a taxi, hire a driver, or carpool, because it is does not work with their schedule or cost too much money. more

Resolved Question: If feminsts are really about equality, what are feminists doing to fight sexism against men?

or are feminists only about womens rights and so on? In the United States, boys' sports teams in colleges have been shut down in order to maintain gender parity with the amount of women who enter sports on campus through Title IX gender equality policy. [43] Young ladies at some campuses have shown solidarity against the ostrasization of boys by creating videos to bring attention to the issue.[44] The Obama administration is investigating the implementation of forced gender parity through Title IX to science, technical and engineering departments in colleges as well. Some organizations have expressed concern to the further denigration for opportunities for boys In the United States it is a popular and lawful conception that men are not meant to have a parental role with their children and as such custody of children in divorce is often rewarded to the mother. As late as 1971, the Minnesota State Bar Association's handbook advised lawyers and judges that: "except in very rare cases, the father should not have custody of the minor children. He is usually unqualified psychologically and emotionally The United States has created the Cabinet Level advisory Council of Women and Girls to oversee all governmental policy and functions of all Cabinet Level offices as to how they affect the needs of women and girls. There is no such high level council for men or boys. Excerpt from a lobbying letter by N.O.W: "This Office on Women should seek new ways to foster the full potential of tens of millions of women and girls of all races and from all walks of life -- through policies, budgeting, inter-agency coordination and special initiatives The U.S. Center for Disease Control in conjunction with the American Psychiatric Association found that of heterosexual relationships involving violence, 50.3% involve non-reciprocal violence, and of that 50.3%, women were the instigators 70.7% of the time, although "physical injury was more likely to occur when the violence was reciprocal."[53] Men have no laws such as VAWA or Violence Against Women Act that afford them equal protection under law. Linda Kelly states in her thesis, DISABUSING THE DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC ABUSE: HOW WOMEN BATTER MEN AND THE ROLE OF THE FEMINIST STATE in the Florida State University Law Review that domestic violence is equally the province of women.[54]Mandatory Military Service Many countries around the world make it mandatory for males to join the military, but not females. Men at 18 years of age in the United States are required to register for military conscription to be drafted to war or military service. Women are not required to register with the Selective Service System and have no obligation to serve in the military in the case of a draft. more

Resolved Question: Woodrow Wilsons 14 points?

K, So i found his 14 points, but could someone describe them in english to me? they are really confusing,especially 4 down.please help!! =( ______________________________________________________ I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants. III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy. VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired. VIII. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all. IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality. X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development. XI. Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into. XII. The turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees. XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant. XIV. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. more

Resolved Question: how can there be so much support for the BNP?

Even on here, yahoo answers! If the BNP got what they want, you would see Britain ISOLATED!!!!!!!! you would not only be closing the door to immigration, Britain will be closing the door to any sort of help from Europe, if needed. Think Eurovision song contest results before this years one and times it by a million and thats the cold response Britain would receive. People saying immigrants do the shitty jobs that regular brits wouldnt do are insulting! what makes youu think they haven't applied for better jobs but have been turned down because the employer could think of other British folk who could have this job, if not for affirmative action you would hardly see any ethnic minorities in better jobs, sad truth!(remember those equal opportunities forms). Anyway the BNP are only delivering a sweetner with that voluntarily get out of our country crap, if given ultimate power, an you really see a party with such do or die rules being so civil, give an inch, take a mile! people are entitled to support who they like but please think logically before you act! at the end of the day, the national front or BNP were against immigrants way before this EU business, they wanted anyone with a hint of skin colour out, beaten,killed or whatever. they just added a little sugar now to their image, shaved off hitlers moustache and changed his name to Nick Griffin. SOUNDS LIKE SWEETNESS AND LIGHT BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, THE VERY FABRIC OF BRITAIN HAS BEEN WOVEN IN WITH IMMIGRANTS, THEIR SONS, DAUGHTERS,WIVES,DOCTORS, NURSES, ENGINEERS ETC, YOU PULL THE THREAD FROM ONE END YOU WILL SLOWLY SEE BRITAIN START TO UNRAVEL AND INEVITABLE FALL APART- its short sightedness and mislaid anger. ALSO WHY WOULD YOU SAY YOU WOULDNT VOTE FOR LABOUR, TORIES etc.. AND THEN VOTE TO GET IMMIGRANTS OUT? HUH THATS DUMB! PLUS EVERY PARTY CLAIMED EXPENSES, NOT JUST LABOUR!!!!! if the BNP were there, you can bet your house they would have claimed also! BETTER DEVIL U KNOW THAT DEVIL YOU DON'T! funny but true. and it was the colapse of the banking system that sparked the economic downturn, not EU or IMMIGRANTS LOL!!!!!! you guys crack me up. sorry its long!!BRITAIN CANT SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN COMPLETELY, BECAUSE ITS NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS WHEN BRITAIN HAD HOLD OF INDIA, CHINA, PARTS OF AFRICA etc...! THEY HAVE PULLED OUT AND ARE NOW SURVIVING WITH HELP OF THE EU!!! (but not entirely) like it or lump it, we cant isolate ourselves. it will not be the best option. need allies, need benefits, need friends, and sometimes have to scratch each others backs. its no big deal we are still surviving. more

Resolved Question: Is this the average conservative mentality?

Ronald Reagan won the cold war and caused the Soviet Union to collapse, all by himself. The free market is a magical force where people's needs are satisfied by the greediest of people. The market should dictate all aspects of people's lives. Minimum wage should be abolished. Who cares that nobody could survive on the market equilibrium wage of, say, $3/hour? Public schools should be abolished. Terrorism is bad if other people do it, but it's OK if the US does it. After finding no WMD in Iraq, we changed our goal to "liberating" the Iraqi people. Never mind that Iraq was a convenient oil-rich and strategic region in the middle east. It is OK that the US overthrew democratically elected leaders and replaced them with brutal tyrants, when they did something against US interests (nationalization of oil supplies, copper, etc) The US always brings "freedom" and "democracy" to every other country. All countries that hate the US hate us because of our "freedom" Abortion is murder, but killing civilians in war is fair game. Christians aren't capable of committing terrorism. If a Christian commits an act of terrorism, he is not a "true" Christian, but if a Muslim commits an act of terrorism, he is a true Muslim. Health care isn't a right, rather it's OK if you die because you didn't get access to preventable medicine. Poor people are poor because they "choose" to be. (After all, who wouldn't choose to be poor?) A person who grew up in poverty has an equal opportunity to succeed as a rich kid whose parents paid for his college tuition. Evolution should not be taught in schools, despite the fact that it is a scientific fact. National socialism is "socialism" because they called themselves that, even though "national socialism" is an oxymoron. Socialism is internationalism. Anyone who critisizes Israel is anti-semetic. If Israel ever gets to the stage that Nazi Germany did, it would be justified because they are the "victims" I know there are a lot more I should have added, but I just wanted to get a general idea. Is this accurate? more

I cannot believe the sheer volume of "questions" on here that are questioning Obama's policies! I hope Obama puts an end to all this racist hate speech. I hope that he bans all Internet access to those who are not progressive and open minded. It will significantly cut down on the nonsense spewed from the right and will also reduce the amount of energy wasted on powering computers and servers throughout the world. Obama is uniting America, bringing the troops home, revitalizing America's economy and bringing change for each American -- soon we will all be equal in both opportunity and wealth.

Resolved Question: Why does everyone hate Adam Lambert so much?

I don't get it. :[ I understand that not everyone can like him but frealz I'm sick of people saying how much they 'hate' Adam Lambert. Do you know him personally??! No, you don't. Hate is a VERY strong word for someone you don't even know personally. I am an Adam fan/supporter and you don't see me saying how much I hate Kris because I don't like his style or his singing or because he's a devout Christian and I'm an Atheist?! It just doesn't make sense to me why so many people are against him when he has done nothing wrong at all. Sure he may not appeal to your personal tastes but that doesn't mean you should hate someone simply because they look, act or dress differently than you. And don't give me the whole 'he's gay', 'he's overrated', 'he can't sing' bull crap. If Adam couldn't sing do you think people would vote for him??!! No, they wouldn't he would be gone a long time ago. But he is a awesome vocalist. I'm so SICK of it I know everyone is entitled to their preferences and opinion(s) but seriously, come on. How can you hate a guy you haven't even MET or known personally?! It's just stupid really you can support Kris without hating on Adam. And IDK how people can say that Adam is cocky & arrogant when other people E.G. other Idol contestants say that he is just the opposite?! There is nothing cocky and arrogant about Adam he is just confident in himself because he knows who he is as a person and there is nothing wrong with that!! I personally respect him even more becuz of it. I seriously do believe that a lot of people who like to diss Adam are just jealous (not all but quite a few) cus he's so uber talented, hot & has a great personality!! ^_^ I mean, sure, he's not straight-cut like say Kris or Danny but he different and original He's got an artistic streak about him and that's his personal style and I ACCEPT him for WHO HE IS because I am open-minded when it comes to different people. Unfortunately, this is the United States of America and we have our ignoramus. But at the same time, this is a country where equal opportunity is available to all people no matter what their race/ethnicity, gender, religion, size, sexual orientation is ETC. Let's stop hating on people we don't even know personally IT'S JUST A COMPETITION! Bottom line: EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES. N*E* Wayz people are entitled to vote for whomever they want whether it's Adam or Kris just vote, you can agree or disagree with me IDC I still think Adam is one of the best, if not the best, AI contestant ever and he should win American Idol '09.☮ Peace Out. ☮ P.S. Sorry if this look like a rant but I just thought I should voice my opinion on this matter that's all. ☆ VOTE ADAM! ☆] <333333Veggie: Everybody hates Kris?! Where? All I see is constant Adam bashing. It's just a competition yet people pick on Adam all the time. Maybe it's because he's the star?! IDK I just think it's overdone how people hate on Adam for no reason. more

Resolved Question: Ever Feel Like You Can't Relate To Friends/Family Any More?

Ever since I've went back to college to finish my four year degree, I feel like I can't relate to certain family members or friends anymore because their point of views seem absurd to me or their behavior seems ignorant to me. I do not believe that I am better than anyone else and I would never feel that way. I do believe everyone is equal. I come from a blue collared, steel city that suffers from poverty and crime. It is quite an accomplishment when someone graduates college. It is normal for women to have a few kids by different fathers out of wedlock. Usually, people never change much around here. Instead of going back to school to further their education, people would rather sit around and complain about the world. Most are content remaining stuck in life. This is not my prospective on life. I believe your life is what you make of it. I believe in taking advantage of opportunity to better ones life. I believe sacrifice and hard work actually gets you somewhere in life. I believe in striving to be more. When I talk to my friends and certain family members I act like I can relate but in actuality....I don't always relate. Is this common when furthering your education? I love all of my family members and friends but me voicing my opinion on life has caused disturbances in close relationships. Any advice?Dear Michigan, Thanks for the insight, Although, I would have to differ in regards to me "looking down on people". Granted I am proud of my life's accomplishments but I am also humble and grateful. That is the sole reason I emphasized the fact that I do not hold myself above others. As for the US having a class system, etc. This may be true but it is not fair for you to judge my personal feelings based on the outcome of what millions of others have created. Please remember, these are the people I love most and hold dear to my heart. I do agree with you on having patience and gently nudging others by giving suggestions to reach goals and achieve dreams....this is great advice :-)Oh yeah, it would be impossible for me to forget where I came from....because I'm still here....I never left. This city is what gives me the drive to push myself even further; therefore, I don't shame it or deny it but instead I use it to remind myself that there has to be more out there for me than this. more

Resolved Question: History Help!!! 10 points! Please Help!?

Voting Question: how do you feel about The Pendulum Effect?

1.Step 1: A civil rights need is born For complex historical reasons beyond the scope of this article, a civil rights need is identified on behalf of a group. The pendulum effect is viewed as bipolarity between two groups. With the group on the left deemed as being the oppressed group and the group in the right as being the oppressors. The relationship may be between women and men, blacks and whites or homosexuals and heterosexuals. 2.Step 2: The legitimate phase of the movement The oppressed group does indeed suffer from legitimate grievances. They become aware of the need to change their standing and push the pendulum of equal rights with their actions, to correct these grievances and to improve their image in the zeitgeist. They face some resistance from either side, but they also face a lot of support from the oppressor side, who truly emphasises with their plight. This is the legitimate stage of the movement as the oppressed side gains the rights that they clearly should have. Luminaries of the men’s right movement such as Glenn Sacks and Warren Farrell freely admit that there are genuine gains that feminism has achieved, things such as legislation that codifies the right to equal pay such as the equal pay act of 1963 in the U.S. and 1970 in the U.K., the right to own property and to object to genuinely misogynistic attitudes as can be seen in the old style advertisements and public service announcements. I agree with this attitude personally. There is no such thing as a civil rights movement that has done no good. This is the legitimate and honourable stage of the movement. The pendulum is even. 3.Step 3: The illegitimate phase of the movement The transition between this step and the last is hard to identify as the oppressed group transitions from generally doing good to doing bad. The oppressed group now has a respected and powerful lobby acting on its behalf that can affect the law, at this point no reasonable person could describe the group as being “oppressed” anymore, but the movement has turned into an industry of grievance mining, looking under every rock for signs of oppression and slights. It is important to emphasise the members of the group are not lying to keep up the appearance if being oppressed, they truly believe it, but they are in too deep and lack the ability to holistically view the progress that their group has made, to take “yes” for an answer. The “oppressions” that their group supposedly suffers become more and more academic and created out of whole cloth. The goals of the group come more from the radical activist members, who mostly reside in academia. Issues that they choose to fight for include things such as redefining language, redefining history, redefining their definition of oppression and re-characterising the successes of the movement into further examples of oppression. A prime example of manufacturing problems is to me, one of the most reprehensible aspects of modern feminism. This is where feminism has achieved a world where women have no less opportunity than men, can take any degree they want to and choose their own career. And then when women do not flock to careers that feminists want them to, they cites this as proof of work that still needs to be done for women’s rights. I think that women who feel empowered to enter the fields they want to enter means that the work of women’s rights is mostly done. To spin the liberation of women into an attempt to further victimise them is a disgusting act that is to spit in the eye of the good achievements that feminism has made. The worst effect of this illegitimate phase of the movement is to brainwash the younger members of the group into hating men. The feminists have already refined history and distorted the facts to where, as a feminist said in an email to me, half of women are raped and the fraction of feminist haters dwindles in comparison to the number of men who hate women. Yeah, we sure are terrible. None of this has any relation to the truth but what is to be the expected outcome if a young woman is told that men as such beasts? I’ll tell you the outcome because I saw it firsthand when I graduated in 2005. The young women I went to university with were angry, they were petulant and a hostile and felt the need to partake in constant belittling comments and man bashing. With an angry youth, the road is paved to the next step. 4.Step 4: The oppression of the oppressors The discourse has become one sided. The feminists are seen as the authorities in the problem of equality as the status quo is viewed as being sexist and thus un-needing of representation. The feminists are now running a dictatorship of opinion and with a background noise of resentment and manufactured oppressions they start to act in a very hypocritical way. The true idea of equality has been lost, they have a new definition of the word. Equality of outcome. Sameness. Departments of women’s health spring up, ministers more

Resolved Question: Do women really want equality?

It appears that women want to have all of the things that men have, including an equal number of upper management jobs. Why is it that they only choose the good things and not the bad things? Here is what they will need to do to gain equality: Commit suicide at 4-5 times their current rate. Men are way ahead in this area so women will need to step up their act if they want to be equal. Find guys who have fallen on hard times, are unemployed, and need someone to give them a break, a house, a new job opportunity etc. Currently only men "rescue" women, and not the other way around. When I fall on hard times and some woman comes and pays for everything and sets up a new job for me, etc, I will consider your application for equality. Quit your cozy little "customer service" jobs and go work in a coal mine doing hard labour all day rather than updating your status on facebook while the boss isn't looking. Spend your days asking men out and being rejected in an unpolite fashion. Work while the men sit at home playing with the kids. Work much longer than you are now. Currently men work almost twice as many hours as women (not including housework). We will clean the sink while you work in the pressure cooker corporate landscape engaging in highstakes mergers.

Resolved Question: Can you PLEASE not delete my essay below?

I need to print it out at my school library. I can't access my email there, and my printer doesn't work at home. Were Nora’s Actions (from “A Doll’s House by Ibsen) Justified? It was in the “action-packed” living room of Nora and Torvald where all of Nora’s actions unfolded during the course of Ibsen’s play “A Doll’s House”. They key word here is “actions” because Nora did a lot in just three acts of a play. She went from seemingly innocuous actions such as sheepishly lying about eating macaroons to the far more grave involvement with the blackmailing Krogstad and the attempted concealment of the forged loan note from her husband. But her ultimate action was a simple one: she walked out of her home and slammed the door. It is this act that will be discussed because it is the ultimate response, a proxy for all the activity of the play. And it is this final maneuver that I assert was unjustified. There is evidence in the play that Nora could have chosen an alternate outcome that would have been beneficial to all involved, especially her. Before discussion of any alternate outcome, it is important to admit that Nora did have reason to feel she was treated poorly, like a child, and given no opportunity to better herself or have a legitimate intellectual engagement with Torvald. This was standard fare during the time and place of the play. It was the rule and not the exception. Perhaps not the rule during this time was the growing rebellion of Nora starting from the aforementioned consumption of macaroons to her adult discussions and plotting (away from her husband) with Mrs. Linde and Dr. Rank. It is clear that Nora’s understanding of her frustrating and constricting relationship with Torvald is crystallizing in her mind as events unfurl, culminating in a final argument when Torvald reads the original mail containing the blackmail threat (to be later rescinded by Krogstatd). But it is this final argument with her husband that could have been a turning point instead of a point of no return. In Act 3, after Torvald had burned the contract, the couple discussed the situation in a serious adult manner. Torvald does show evidence that he is willing to change, namely, to treat Nora in a more respectful manner. Nora with her growing wisdom had the opportunity to at least listen further. She was in a position of strength and could have bargained on her own behalf to gain greater assurance from Torvald that she be treated more as an equal. Admittedly, marriage counselors were not around in Nora’s era, but maybe seeking the counsel of the wise Mrs. Linde would have be useful. The point is Nora was unwilling to try to save her marriage and in that regard the fact that the preponderance of her relationship’s downfall was due to Torvald is irrelevant. Besides, there were other reasons for Nora to make an effort to save her marriage. Those reasons are the three children. It was selfish for Nora to abandon them since she claims to have loved them dearly. If we put the issue of selfishness aside, there is something worse. Nora was being hypocritical about her actions as well. She felt she was not raised with dignity by her father, again, always being treated like a pet or doll. By vanishing from the scene, Nora ensures that her children, especially the girl, will not be raised in the best way. There is no reason to suppose that the nanny will not follow the will of Torvald. In summary, I have stated my reasons that Nora made a bad choice in walking out the door, in particular, not taking the opportunity to explore reconciliation with Torval that would improve the marriage and sustaining the loss of her children. If I am allowed the fantasy of writing the sequel to “A Doll’s House”, there is no great evidence to predict that Nora would have been successful after she left the house. She had little money, no occupation, and was entering a hostile (especially to women) world. True, she had her dignity, but you cannot get nourishment and shelter from an abstract quality. In short, Nora’s final action was not justified and would have led to a bad outcome for her and her children. more

Resolved Question: Mormons, please explain these comments by your Prophets and Apostles?

Care to explain? By the way, this list is far from exhaustive...there's much more where these came from. All comments are documented from LDS sources: “Cain slew his brother.... and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin. Trace mankind down to after the flood, and tehn another curse is pronounced upon the same race – that they should be the ‘servant of servants,’ and they will be, until that curse is removed; and the Abolitionists cannot help it, nor in the least alter that decree. How long is that race to endure the dreadful curse that is upon them? That curse will remain upon them, and they never can hold the Priesthood or share in it until all the other descendants of Adam have received the promises and enjoyed the blessings of the Priesthood and the keys thereof. Until the last ones of the residue of Adam’s children are brought up to that favorable position, the children of Cain cannot receive the first ordinances of the Priesthood. They were the first that were cursed, and they will be the last from whom the curse will be removed. When the residue of the family of Adam come up and receive their blessings, then the curse will be removed from the seed of Cain, and they will receive blessings in like proportion.” - Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 7, pp. 290-291 “Why are so many of the inhabitants of the earth cursed with a sin of blackness? It comes in consequence of their fathers rejecting the power of the Holy Priesthood, and the law of God. They will go down to death. And when all the rest of the children have received their blessings in the Holy Priesthood, then that curse will be removed from the seed of Cain, and they will then come up and possess the priesthood, and receive all the blessings which we now are entitled to. The volition of the creature is free; this is a law of their existence, and the Lord cannot violate his own law; were he to do that, he would cease to be God. He has placed life and death before his children, and it is for them to choose. If they choose life, they receive the blessings of life; if they chose death, they must abide the penalty. This is a law which has always existed from all eternity, and will continue to exist throughout all the eternities to come.” - Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 11, p. 272 “And after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain was continued through Ham’s wife, as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the devil should have a representation upon the earth as well as God; and that man should be a free agent to act for himself, and that all men might have the opportunity of receiving or rejecting the truth, and be governed by it or not according to their wishes and abide the result; and that those who would be able to associate with the Gods in the eternal worlds. It is the same eternal programme. God knew it and Adam knew it.” - Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 22, p. 304 “The N e g r o is an unfortunate man. He has been given a black skin. But that is as nothing compared with that greater handicap that he is not permitted to receive the Priesthood and the ordinances of the temple, necessary to prepare men and women to enter into and enjoy a fullness of glory in the celestial kingdom [i.e., godhood].” - Apostle George F. Richards, Conference Report, April 1939, p. 58 “It is true that the n e g r o race is barred from holding the Priesthood, and this has always been the case. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught this doctrine, and it was made known to him, although we know of no such statement in any revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon, or the Bible.” - Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, The Improvement Era [now called The Ensign], v. 27, p. 565 “N e g r o e s in this life are denied the priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them.... N e g r o e s are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned...” - Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 477, 1958 “We must not inter-marry with the Negro. Why? If I were to marry a Negro woman and have children by her, my children would oil be cursed as to the priesthood. Do I want my children cursed as to the priesthood? If there is one drop of Negro blood in my children, as I have read to you, they receive the curse. There isn’t any argument, therefore, as to inter-marriage with the Negro, is there?” - Apostle Mark E. Peterson, “Race Problems – As They Effect the Church,” Address given at the Convention of Teachers of Religion on the College Level, delivered at BYU, August 27, 1954 “Is there reason then why the type of birth we receive in this life is not a reflection of our worthThis comment was cut off: “Is there reason then why the type of birth we receive in this life is not a reflection of our worthiness or lack of it in the pre-existent life? ... can we account in any other way for the birth of some of the children of God in darkest Africa, or in flood-ridden China, or among the starving hordes of India, while some of the rest of us are born here in the United States? We cannot escape the conclusion that because of performance in our pre-existence some of us are born as Chinese, some as Japanese, some as Latter-day Saints. There are rewards and punishments, fully in harmony with His established policy in dealing with sinners and saints, rewarding all according to their deeds.... “Let us consider the great mercy of God for a moment. A Chinese, born in China with a dark skin, and with all the handicaps of that race, seems to have little opportunity. But think of the mercy of God to Chinese people who are willing to accept the gospel.In spite of whatever they might have done in the pre-existence to justify being born over there as Chinamen, if they now, in this life, accept the gospel and live it the rest of their lives they can have the Priesthood, go to the temple and receive endowments and sealings, and that means they can have exaltation. Isn’t the mercy of God marvelous? Think of the Negro, cursed as to the Priesthood.... This Negro, who, in the pre-existence lived the type of life which justified the Lord in sending him to the earth in the lineage of Cain with a black skin, and possibly being born in darkest Africa – if that Negro is willing when he hears the gospel to accept it, he may have many of the blessings of the gospel. In spite of all he did in the pre-existent life, the Lord is willing.... to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the Celestial Kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he......will get celestial glory.” - Apostle Mark E. Peterson, “Race Problems – As They Effect the Church,” Address given at the Convention of Teachers of Religion on the College Level, delivered at BYU, August 27, 1954For Joshsy: 1.

The Plaintiff in this lawsuit applied for credit with Navy Federal and Navy Federal denied her application. Navy Federal sent her an Adverse Action Notice that stated that the reason for the denial was the existence of unspecified information in her credit bureau report. Plaintiff contends that Navy Federal violated ECOA by failing to identify with sufficient specificity the reason for the denial. Navy Federal denies the allegations made against it.

Resolved Question: Do you feel the Democrats racist history has been forgotten?

History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960's, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crow laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens. Congressional records show that Democrats were opposed to passing the following laws that were introduced by Republicans to achieve civil rights for African Americans: Civil Rights Act 1866 Reconstruction Act of 1867 Freedman Bureau Extension Act of 1866 Enforcement Act of 1870 Force Act of 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 Civil Rights Act of 1875 Civil Rights Act of 1957 Civil Rights Act of 1960 And during the 60's many Democrats fought hard to defeat the 1964 Civil Rights Act 1965 Voting Rights Acts 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act http://www.dare2sayit.com/racist_history_of_the_democratic.htmOn December 15, 1994, federal Judge David V. Kenyon issued a court order to the Clinton Administration in the Case of Fairchild v Robert Reich Secretary of Labor (#CV92-5765 Kn). The order demanded that Secretary Reich and the Clinton Administration force 100 west coast shipping to develop an Affirmative Action plan to stop discrimination against, African Americans, Hispanics, Female and Disabled Workers. Female employees were being sexually harrassed, Hispanic were being denied promotions and training, Disable Workers were being laid off, and African Americans were being force to work in an environment where they had job classification called " Nigger Jobs." Clinton left office six years later and never complied with the court order. The companies still do not have an Affirmative Action Plan. For those who complained I stopped in the 70's more

Voting Question: Help Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points during World War 1...?

How could you group the 14 points made by Wilson into 3 main categories? What would the three categories be and which points would be in each category? Thanks Adam I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants. III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy. VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired. VIII. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all. IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality. X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development. XI. Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into. XII. The turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees. XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant. XIV. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. more

Resolved Question: what is so offensive about the n-word?

i dont understand it. back in the civil war, the word n!99er was used when referencing to a slave, and from that it became very offensive. but that was hundreds of years ago, and this is not the civil war anymore, so why is that word so offensive to people if used by a caucasion person? african americans use the word with no problem and in every conversation with virtually meaning, but if a white person uses it, it all of the sudden means something offensive again. i just feel that if african americans choose to make something casual of something that they consider offensive, then it should not be offensive to them at all. when talking about gay marraiges or other things, i always hear people saying "its 2009, things are different" and i totally agree, things are different. people are not nearly as discriminatory as before. the governent has made sure this has happened, by banning any hate speech in schools, by police officers(becaus they do get fired if caught using any hateful or discriminatory speech while on duty), as well as making sure employers are not discriminatory when hiring people(the Equal Employment Opportunity Act). so basically, i just dont understand how the n-word has any relevence to today, and how it can be offensive to anyone anymorei am not trying to say that all african americans use the word, but a very large percentage use the word in casual conversation, especially the younger generation, and then turn around and raise their fists when they hear a white person use it. i just think a word is only offensive to someone if the person chooses to let it offend them more

Resolved Question: Forgotten Sayings of Jesus (in Christianity)?

Jesus made it clear that he is not God "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." (Mark 10:18) A man had ran up and knelt before Jesus and called him "Good Teacher." Jesus used the opportunity to make it clear to people that they must not praise him more than a human being deserves to bepraised. Jesus depends on God for Authority: God depends on no one: "I can do nothing of my own authority" (John 5:30) "I do as the Father has commanded me." (John 14:31 RSV) Needless to say, God does not receive commands from anyone. "The words that I say to you I do not speak of my own authority." (John 14:10 RSV) "I do nothing of my own authority but speak thus as the Father has taught me." (John 8:28 RSV) God has full authority, and full knowledge. He cannot be taught, but He teaches. --------------------------------------... Jesus is not Equal to "The Father" "The Father is greater than I." (John 14:28 RSV) People forget this and they say that Jesus is equal to the Father. Whom should we believe--Jesus or the people? --------------------------------------... Jesus Does Not Know Everything Speaking of the Last Day, Jesus said: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." (Matthew 24:36) --------------------------------------... Did Jesus Raise Himself up? God raised him up. (Acts 2:24) Jesus did not have power to raise himself up. God had to raise him up, as the author of Acts says. ----------------------------------------... Jesus prayed to God: God prays to no one "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt." (Mark 14:32) Jesus fell on his face and prayed to God, begging God to save him from crucifixion. This also shows that Jesus had a will different from God's will. The writers of Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell us that it was Jesus's wish to be saved from crucifixion, but it was God's will to let the crucifixion take place. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46) --------------------------------------... Jesus did not know the tree had no fruit He [Jesus] was hungry. And on seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it , he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. (Mark 11 12-13) When he saw that the tree had leaves, he thought that he might find fruit on it. But when he came up close to the tree he realised there were no fruits. After all, it was not even fig season. --------------------------------------... Jesus referred to as Servant of God "Behold my servant whom I have chosen." (Matthew 12:18 In this passage God calls Jesus His servant) The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus. (Acts 3:13) For truly in this city there were gathered together against thy holy servant Jesus. (Acts 4:27) Everyone, except for God, are God's servants. Jesus, too, is God'sservant. --------------------------------------... Who was real Worker of Miracles? Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (Acts 2:22 KJV) People say that since Jesus worked many miracles, he must be God. But here we see that God did the miracles; Jesus was the instrument God used to accomplish His work. Jesus was a man whom God approved of. This means he was a righteous man. --------------------------------------... Jesus cannot guarantee positions "To sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father" (Matthew20:23) Therefore if we want to secure our position with God in the life hereafter we must turn to God and ask Him. --------------------------------------... A Misunderstood saying I and the Father are one. (John 10:30) People like to quote this saying, but they forget the followingsaying: John 17:11 Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. This shows that what was meant was one in purpose, not one in substance as people think. The disciples could not become one human, but they can pursue the same goal. That is to say, they can be one in purpose, just as Jesus and the Father are one in purpose. --------------------------------------... Did Jesus say everything John says he said? John 14:9 Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life. John 8:12 I am the light of the world. John 8:58 Before Abraham was, I am. John 10:7 I am the door of the sheep. John 11:25 I am the resurrection, and the life. John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. John 15:1 I am the true vine. Christian scholars tell us that if Jesus had made all these fanare christians aware of those verses?!are they out of context?! yes or no? thanks . more

Resolved Question: Poll: What is your interpretation of this?

Anyone who knows me, knows I have my act together!!! And everyone I know says, "Any guy who has the opportunity to be with you is a VERY lucky man". Well here is a summary of my past relationships/dating experiences - I have had 3 long term relationships (all over 3 years each) with complete losers!!! Jobless, abusive, substance abuse . . . All three of these men benefited from being with me! They benefited from having my heart (I am a giver not a taker) and they benefited from my hard work (and paycheck). I ended ALL of these relationships when I had more then enough of their crap! I realized I was NEVER going to settle for less again!!! So the last two guys I dated have been established. Well educated and had their acts together! BUT they both dumped me!!!!!!! The only two guys who have ever dumped me were ones that were my "equals" (for a lack of a better word).

Voting Question: Hi, Can you fix my grammer in this essay?

Hi, I'm an international student who stayed in the U.S. for 1.5 years Can you fix my grammer or fix some unnatural spots. You can change the whole sentence if you think the sentence is awkward. “Life is like a repetition of tests” My dad once told me that, and the quote was so true. As a high school student, I took hundreds quizzes and tests in many different subjects. Last year, I spent days and nights to study my AP biology test, and, this year, I’m burning my midnight oil to get a good grade on English tests and quizzes. Such tests can assess students’ understanding of a subject or evaluate the depth of knowledge. Other than the school tests, to achieve higher educations, students have to take “assessment” tests such as SAT, ACT, and GRE. Generally, the assessment tests’ purpose is testing one’s basic educational understanding. If one gets high score, that means, one is ready to go to good higher-educational institutions. The assessment tests, however, have both positive and negative aspects. The test made college or graduate school acceptance process much easier and quicker. By taking the assessment test, one can evaluate one’s understanding of both English and math, and, additionally, one can compare one’s score to other intelligent students in the other parts of the country. Also colleges and graduate schools can analyze the applicants by the score of the assessment test. Because of the applicants’ varieties and different personalities, it is hard for the institutions to analyze their applicants generally, but by using the score of the assessment tests, the institutions can evaluate their applicants easily. The assessment tests are also world-widely using way. In Asian countries such as Korea and Japan, high school students are dedicating themselves to get a good score on a “college-acceptance test”. Additionally, many countries in Europe have similar assessment test that can analyze the students’ general understanding. Taking an assessment test is universally well-using way of analyzing applicants of higher-educational institutions. Even though the assessment test is well-known and easy way of analyzing students, there are many negative aspects of the test. Some institutions just care about the test score, but, in actuality, the test score does not mention applicant’s personality or other important facts about him. For example, SAT, which contains math, reading, and writing sections, can tell an applicant’s math, reading, and writing skills, but it cannot tell an applicant’s other important and valuable facts such as leadership, diligence, and ambition. Also, the test score can be affected by many external sources. International students, obviously, have some penalties in reading and writing sections. Additionally, if a test taker’s condition is not good on the test day, he may have a hard time going through the long assessment test. Nowadays, students are like slaves who are tied up by many different tests. The tests, however, are good sources of analyzing their general understanding and depth of knowledge, but sometimes it can be illogical and incomprehensive. It is hard to change the system of taking assessment test, because the taking the assessment test was appropriate since long time ago. To make brighter future and comprehensive society, however, testing company’s goal has to be changed from increasing its budget to making more comprehensive tests with no penalties or obstacles. The assessment tests have to be tests with equal opportunities for every student. more

Voting Question: My wage has been lowered for no reason?

my employer in London shifted me to another office I applied to work to, my former job was on £7.00 per hour while a friend in the new office told he was paid £8.00 per hour (and still is). however when I was shifted there, my pay remained £ 7.00 for a more demanding job ! they just want to save money because of the recession !!!!! I raised this with my manager and HR and both said "take it or leave it", can I pressurize them to conform my wage under Equal Opportunities and Equal Pay Act 1970 ? will I risk anything if I threaten court action while still inside the company? I called the Union that said that they can't do much about that, they deal with law not with negotiating salaries, they told any answer is appreciated and thanked for in advanceHi Shane, thanks for your answer. what is EPA? anyway the other guys are that get more than me are white and male (like me) but we perform exactly the same tasks. is it possible this can't be applied to law?? more

Resolved Question: Ok I am writing a paper on Conservatism 101, Help ?

It needs to be as short and concise as possible but still poignant and complete, can you help me tweak this. so through many folks I have come up with the following. Braces for licks, Be brutal it is ok I can take it, I like pain lol and I don’t get my feelings hurt Principles, values, love & compassion and the cherry, morality is not circumstantial. Conservatives are for personal responsibility, the sacredness of life, working hard, and being kind to others. That’s all it is about or has ever been about. 1. To be a person who is accountable for his or her actions and takes care of himself and those who are unable to care for themselves. 2.We love this country and the people of this country. 3.To believe in that which makes logical sense rather than that which is borne out of emotion and is supposed to make me feel good 4.It takes a village to raise a child, not the government. I, me, myself. You hurt I act, I hurt you act. 5.Giving, If I do, government doesn’t have to 6. Being all you can be, Conservatives believe in YOU, that YES YOU CAN! I, We are not a bunch of idiots who need “Big Brother” to run our lives and tell us what is best, I will figure out for myself what is best for me and mine. So thanks but no thanks for now. 7.The Smaller the Federal Government the Safer we are, Government is not my mom or dad and certainly not God 8.The General welfare not entitlement welfare 9.We believe that the government has been set to watch over and lead the country, not control everything anyone does 10.A balanced budget, low taxes and small government. 11.A literal translation of the constitution, not letting the courts infer meaning to it. (No Legislating from the bench) 12.Freedom of religion, does not mean freedom from religion 13.The belief in free speech, even if it's not politically correct and even if it does offend people. That is part of Freedom. 14.Helping others, I am my brothers keeper 15. Personal responsibility 16.Feeling trapped and like you have no choice does not make a choice a choice. 17.Sacredness of life. It is LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without LIFE nothing else has any meaning. Every life has a purpose, a destiny and a right to exists. Every Life has value from the elderly, to the young, to the unborn. Why cultivate a culture of death when you can have life. Life is a precious gift. 18.Being kind to others means doing unto others as you would have them do to you- treat others respectfully with a good heart. These are the things which make up the conservative values and principles 19. The Role of the Federal Government is limited as set forth by the constitution and it is limited for a reason. Checks and Balances! Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Local, State and Federal Government, It is broken up that way for a reason 20. Legislating from the Bench is unconstitutional, Checks and Balances. For the People by the People. Government is to Govern not dictate. There are some polar opposites • Liberals believe in the power of the collective, collectivism • Conservatives believe in the power of the individual, individualism All other things are a spin off of these two truths When our founding fathers first wrote the Declaration Of Independence the “Rulers” in England scoffed at us. Thought we were insane to think a people could govern themselves The letters and commentary from that day says they were laughing at us, to think no classes no Kings, and queens, Lords, surfs and peasants but to think all men should have the opportunity to be what ever and who ever they wanted to. And So the American Experiment began and we have persevered through it all because of these conservative values, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. • Liberals Idea of compassion is how many people they can get on welfare • Conservatives idea of compassion is how many people they can get off (or free of) welfare We love people. We believe in people. We recognize that we are all individuals. We don't see groups. Conservatives see America as a group of human beings, not blacks and whites, men and women, Asians and Arabs, we are not Jews and Christians or Hindus and Muslims we are simply people. We don't see people as groups we can exploit. We don’t see rich and poor. Class envy is pointless. We don’t see the problem but instead look at the potential. We don't think hey that person doesn't have what it takes, and that person does. We believe and want every person to be the best he or she wants to be and can be if certain things are just removed from their path like too much government, indoctrination, onerous taxes, regulations and the elitist mentality. Circumstances are not an excuse but an obstacle to overcome. This whole school of thought thaI have tons of gay friends so your bigot more

Resolved Question: Why do black people use ebonics? This is NOT a racist question.?

Martin Luther King fought for African American rights. I think it's great that they're treated as equals. But why do they (most) use ebonics and act uneducated? They have the same opportunities as anyone else. I'm also not generalizing, i'm just saying typically. If Martin was still alive he'd crap himself. He fought so hard to be treated equal, but it seems like African Americans are trying to still be different.I guess that's true, a lot more other people do use slang, and there are times to use it. As far as other dialecs in other countries, those are other countries, we're in America where English is the first language taught. We're talking about African Americans, not Africans. more

I'm debating in a conference over a possible bill to be passed in my state that could ban the SAT/ACT as a mandatory test for colleges. Any points on why it should be banned?
