| == Thanks == | | ==Prohibition== |
| | | Hey, I read over your article [[Prohibition in the United States]] because I saw you had [[CZ:Feedback_Requests|requested feedback]]. It's a pretty good start, overall, briefly covering the important aspects of the topic. I did make some edits for grammar and clarity. One thing I think you should consider is renaming the article, because the current title is quite awkward. How about [[Prohibition in the United States]], or simply [[Prohibition]]? I don't think you need to clarify "of alcohol", because the term almost always refers to the historic prohibition of alcohol. --[[User:Carl Jantzen|Carl Jantzen]] 15:46, 22 August 2007 (CDT) |

| ==Sci-fi==
| |
| Yup, that is I. Glad to see someone about to do some SF stuff. "Brave New World" is one of those curious cases of books that are obviously SF but because they are written by "serious" writers are sometimes not considered to be *real* SF. By the way, lots of SF fans (and, I suppose, some SF writers) *hate* the term sci-fi, don't ask me why. They have a reason, supposedly, but I forget what it is. Personally I don't give a hoot. I myself never use it, mostly because SF (or S.F. or sf or s.f.) is shorter. Cheers! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 19:39, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

| == Abortion Article ==
| |
| | |
| You posted on my personal page that you are interested in publishing about abortion, and asked if I am interested in supporting that. My answer is YES ! I saw you published on the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, and loved what you started there. In my opinion one major argument against such false personal freedoms is that past lovers of freedom spent so much effort on providing freedom to the yet unborn. In fact if you read Luke 1:54-55, (Mary's song upon learning she will be the unwed mother of the Messiah), you discover His purpose was partly mercy to the unborn future generations. I've published about that on my blog, as you may have seen. PS, you can call me Tim. How should I address you?

| ::the anti-abortion policy is not Biblical. It comes out of Roman Catholic tradition (mostly 19th century), and was adopted by some Protestants after 1970. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 20:54, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::Anti-abortion law begins with Exodus 21:22, the oldest reference to the Mosaic law principle "an eye for an eye, a life for a life". That oldest reference is part of Exodus 21-24, which is God's explanation of how the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) are to be applied because He is the only God, and He stands for truly equal justice toward all human life. In Exo 21:22 God is giving the principle applied to how an unborn human being may be injured by accident, and the principle applied to a man who caused injury to the mother of the unborn person. Actual anti-abortion law is merely application of equal justice toward unborn human beings. The fact that abortion normally involves the consent of the mother would not mitigate the guilt of the abortionist.
| |
| | |
| Another far older reference to anti-abortion policy would have to include the Hippocratic Oath, believed to date from about 400 BC according the Wikipedia page about it. That oath is the physicians oath which among other things forbade prescribing an abortive medicine.--[[User:Tim McCully|Tim McCully]] 11:53, 30 June 2007 (CDT)

| |
| | |
| "It was founded in 1940 by American industrialists Dick and Mac McDonald". You made it sound as if these big-time industrialists founded this corp. in 1940, just the way it is today. It was just two brothers, not industrialists at all, running a single hamburger stand in the middle of nowhere. Ray Krock sold them some ice-cream blenders, liked their idea, took it over, and began to expand in the mid-1950s. At least when they used to use beef fat to cook their fries in, the fries were OK. Now everything is awful. It would be like sending a Panda Express to Beijing and calling it a Chinese restaurant. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 10:26, 24 June 2007 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| ==Industrialists==
| |
| Don't forget that people like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Henry Ford were not *born* industrialists. They *became* industrialists. It would be incorrect, for instance, to say "The industrialist Henry Ford founded Ford Motor Company." It would be correct to say, "The industrialist Henry Ford considered running for President in 1928." Or, "The industrialist Henry Ford fought union organizers in the 1930s." A small point, but important. Best, [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 11:33, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

| :Thank you for commenting. I do not believe that it is remotely relevant to a military workshop, as a murder is very different to a military campaign. It can possibly be described as terrorism, however, although that is very much debatable. It should probably be described as a controversial legal decision, however, one of the most controversial in Australian history. The other 3 that I plan to write also fit in to this scenario: [[Azaria Chamberlain]], [[Backpacker murders]], [[Peter Falconio]]. 2 of these have no body, the other one was described as being the work of an organised crime gang, while the Port Arthur massacre was perhaps the most advanced set of murders in world history, that was said to have been committed by a person with major intellectual disability. I do not know if there is such a category to describe such things. Whilst these 4 are all murders/missing persons (Backpacker murders is officially described as a serial killing), such a category would encompass any significant controversial cases. I believe that there are many of them. [[User:Adrian Meredith|Adrian Meredith]] 15:01, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
