Thread:Comments:Nearly 100,000 protest for closure of US military base in Japan/American troops leaving Okinawa

Japan exploited the Okinawan people for a long time before the U.S. liberated them. Who benefits from the U.S. leaving ? I believe it is a few wealthy Japanese who want the very valuable realestate the the U.S. has. They are using the radical left as a tool to exploit the Okinawan people ,who for the first time have a high standard of living. The sad part is they will win and Okinawans will again be second class citizens on thier own island.

Sudanese president declared winner of elections

April 26, 2010 The Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir, has been declared the winner of this month's elections, after the first multiparty polls in 24 years. Salva Kiir, a former rebel leader, meanwhile, was also declared president of the semi-autonomous southern Sudan in separate elections.

According to the Sudanese election commission, al-Bashir won 68% of the vote, while Salva Kiir obtained 93% of the vote out of slightly more than 2.5 million total votes.

"The first [was] Omar Hassan Ahmed al-Bashir. He was the candidate and won," said Abel Alier, the chairman for Sudan's National Elections Commission.

Observers and the opposition complained of fraud in the elections; two of al-Bashir's main opponents withdrew before the voting began, accusing the polling process of being rigged. Al-Bashir is also wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes, which issued a warrant for his arrest, although al-Bashir denies the allegations.

Hungarian conservative party wins majority in parliament

April 26, 2010 , the conservative Hungarian party, has won a two-thirds majority in, according to official results.

With about 99% of all votes counted, Fidesz is projected to have won 263 seats in the 386-seat parliament, ending eight years of Socialist government.

The incumbent Socialists placed a distant second, obtaining 59 seats, while the far-right took 47 seats. A new Green party, called, received sixteen seats, and an independent candidate took the remaining seat.

With this power change, Fidesz now has the ability to unilaterally alter the constitution, having more than the required two-thirds majority — or 258 seats — needed to do so.

Hungarian prime-minister elect and leader of Fidesz Viktor Orban commented on his victory in a speech in front of supporters in the capital of Budapest, saying: "We saw a revolution in the polling stations. Fidesz Hungarian Civic Alliance and the have gained 68 per cent of mandates in parliament."

New Zealander William Trubridge breaks freediving world record

April 26, 2010 29-year-old from New Zealand set a new  record on Sunday, reaching a depth of 116  (380 ) in the Atlantic Ocean, holding his breath for four minutes nine seconds — breaking the world record for the deepest free immersion dive.

Wearing a silicon-coated wetsuit, Trubridge plunged into world's deepest in a bay west of  on, Bahamas. is 202 metres (663 ft) deep. Using breaststroke and fins to decend, he said “It was hard to get the tag from the bottom as I struggled with some ". "[I] wasted some time fumbling for the tag, then set off for the surface. I had to use my arms a little from 20m".

Trubridge already held nine world records, and the dive put him into first place in the "Vertical Blue Suunto Dive-Off" competition. Earlier in the tournament he broke the record for a "constant weight, no fins" unassisted dive to 92m (301ft) — the first person to reach the 300ft unaided.

There are many different classes of freediving. For breath-hold diving, there is with- and without-fins, and with/without 'assistance', such as a weighted sled.

This record was for "Constant Weight Apnea with fins", where the diver cannot drop any weights during the dive, and follows a guide line, but cannot touch it. They may use fins to descend, but on the ascent they pull themselves up with the rope. Divers retrieve a tag from a metal plate placed at a certain depth. The record was previously held by Austrian, who reached a depth of 92m (301ft) on 19 April 2010. The 'no limits' record, in which competitors can use a weighted sled, is 214m (702 ft).

Yes, I'm sure they remember it quite well, but I'll wager they probably remember the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a lot better. Are there Americans who really still believe the Japanese are a threat? considering that their government has essentially bowed to the wishes of U.S. policy makers unquestioningly for the past 60 years that seems rather absurd.

Wikinews:Briefs/April 26, 2010/2

Intro
For Monday, April 26th, 2010, this is the audio Wikinews brief, your free news source. The current time is 22:30 UTC. I'm Dan Harlow and here are today's top stories:

Spokesman: At least 55 dead after violence in Darfur, Sudan (0:20)
At least 55 people have been killed in the city of Darfur, Sudan after clashes between the Rezeigat tribe, a Muslim and Arabic tribe of nomadic Bedouin's, and the Southern Sudanese army.

Mohammed Issa Aliou, a spokesman for the Rezeigat tribe, said they had been looking for water and new pastures when they were attacked by armed forces near the border with the partially autonomous South Sudan. The South Sudanese army, however, responded by saying that the tribal members were the ones who had started the attacks.

The United Nations reports that so far this year, nearly 500 people have been killed in this region over cattle raiding and revenge violence. This is the largest outbreak of violence in the region since elections were held in the nation earlier this month.

6.5 magnitude earthquake hits off coast of Taiwan (1:11)
A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the southeast coast of Taiwan today at 10:59 local time according to the US Geological Survey.

The quake's depth was at ten kilometers, which is considered relatively shallow, and the epicenter was 269 kilometers east of T'ai-tung, Taiwan.

Both the Taiwanese Central Weather Bureau and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no tsunami warning was issued as there is no threat of a Pacific-wide tsunami. According to the Associated Press, some buildings in the capital Taipei swayed for about twenty seconds, although there were not any immediate reports of damage, injuries, or deaths.

Nearly 100,000 protest for closure of US military base in Japan (1:56)
A protest on the Japanese island of Okinawa calling for the closure of a United States military base attracted almost 100,000 people on Sunday, after speculations that the Japanese government may back out of an election promise to force it off the island entirely.

The base, Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, has been long criticized by the Japanese people, as it and other bases on the island have served as the location for most of America's 47,000 troops stationed in Japan. The US military presence on the island is seen by some as a legacy of Japan's defeat in World War II by the US.

Japan's current prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama, pledged to move the base off of Okinawa entirely, and transfer 8,000 military personnel to Guam, superseding a 2006 agreement between the Japanese and American governments to move the base to a less urbanized part of Okinawa. Hatoyama said that he would make a decision about the matter by the end of May, and on Friday told Parliament that he would "stake his job" to do so. Opposition leaders in Japan have demanded that Hatoyama should resign as Prime Minister if he does not make a decision by the end of May.

Last week, Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada met with U.S. Ambassador John Roos but the content of their conversation has been disputed. Media reports stated that Okada told the American Ambassador that Tokyo was in favor of most of the 2006 deal, but Okada has denied the statement, saying that while he had met with Roos, no concessions on the matter had been made. The reports inflamed Okinawans, and the mayor of Nago, Okinawa said that the government was "playing with the Okinawans' feelings."

Support for Hatoyama's government has fallen sharply in recent months to a 30% approval rating, down from 70% late last year. He has been criticized both in Japan and in the US for his handling of the situation as he has been unable to gain support for alternate sites for the naval base, and has thus far been unable to conduct talks with local officials about the matter.

The United States is pushing Japan for compliance with the original 2006 agreement, saying that it is the most viable solution.

Poison lead singer Bret Michaels in critical condition (4:25)
Singer Bret Michaels of the rock group Poison, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital on Friday with complaints of a severe headache and has remained in critical condition after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

The singer rose to fame in the 1980's during the Los Angeles era of chart topping hair bands and is most famous for the songs “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”, "Nothin' but a Good Time" and “Talk Dirty to Me”. The band still records and releases music after 25 years together and Michaels recently recorded a song with the teen singer Miley Cyrus.

Michaels is also one of the favorites to win the current season of The Celebrity Apprentice, a reality show that pits contestants against each other in an elimination-style competition to become an apprentice to real estate mogul, Donald Trump. Trump, who also hosts the show, has sent Michaels his best wishes.

On this day in history (5:21)
In 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Chernobyl in the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, suffered a steam explosion resulting in a fire, a nuclear meltdown, and the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people around Europe.

Copenhagen climate conference opens
What do you think of this proposal to prevent this article from being publsihed? Maybe you think it is OK to remove the breaking review template? See the User:Mrchris page for the work that could be left unpublished if that template is not removed. Q/0/k 03:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I disagree. All four articles are capable of eventually being published independently, in my opinion. Benny the mascot (talk) 03:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

To keep discussions un-fragmented, please continue the discussion where it started, and use the Template:Talkback. Thank you for the answer. Q/0/k 03:47, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This conversation should have been on the talk page Mrchris (talk) 03:48, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

However, this news is time-sensitive - please finalize it soon. Q/0/k 03:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Comp entry
So far (perhaps sadly) we've only a couple of prizes up. The mugs ones from NewsTrust looks likely, plus CA$ 10 from Bawolff. Both too small to need a tax declaration.

If you wish to ask family if it's okay (for the NewsTrust one they might want your real name, I think it'd just be name, age, country - a minor winning would be great PR for them) then you could could put it as "I want to enter a competition to write and publish neutral news articles, trying to write to a standard high enough for publication on the BBC". --Brian McNeil / talk 14:57, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Can I ask you for a review on my article that's up? The "Payment Pending" one. A couple of people have NPOV concerns which I think are addressed and I've been spamming mails for this around for ages. --Brian McNeil / talk 03:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Climate contrarians in Copenhagen
Please join the discussion, if you can do it attentively, if you have some free 30 minutes?

I'm just afraid that this novice user Wikiwide, the author of the article, being probably a scientist (you just look at the first version of this article), has a very little understanding of what Wikinews is. And probably has lots of other work to do, is not interested, etc. Even the topic of climate contrarians near UNCCC sounds scientific, doesn't it? I think that if you revive this article, it will be very good Please be informed that only an experienced Wikinews user can manage with such significant and responsible task. Q/0/k 04:13, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * for Wikinews,
 * for this user, and
 * for the environment

Encouraging trolls
Did you actually review the contributions of that muppet IP address that you apologised to because I deleted his trolling insults? Unbelievable!

I was on the Internet before there was a World Wide Web, I've seen trolls-a-plenty, I know how to deal with them. The "drama" caused by asking for that comments page to be undeleted is exactly what they thrive on.

Comments is right on the edge of policy. The WMF could, at any point, tell us to remove the entire namespace and delete every page in it. I used my discretion to delete the only version of that page which contained an insult directed at me. It's likely that would have been the last we saw of this particular troll. Then you say "sorry Brian deleted your trolling". I suggest you look up the meaning of the word censorship before you use it again. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:47, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Merriam-Webster definition of censor: "to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable; to suppress or delete as objectionable"
 * Deleting offensive comments seems to fit that definition of censorship. Please note that I'm not a troll-loving or admin-hating contributor; I just believe that administrators' and bureaucrats' actions need to be revewed from time to time. Benny the mascot (talk) 16:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with admin actions being reviewed; I disagree with the way in which you did so - effectively forcing someone to post the trolling comment I removed to satisfy your curiosity. Yes, they didn't restore it, but they posted a copy on the undelete request. Do you know what would be required to delete all the versions containing it? This is the point; if you don't trust other admins to review what one of us does then the troll is winning by disrupting the community and forcing them to pore over things like this. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:04, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't force Tempodivalse to post the trolling comment; that was his or her decision alone. Your deletion summary provided enough information to infer what happened anyway, since it provided a link to your passport photo. I wasn't trying to feed a troll; I was only trying to point out something that seemed extralegal. Apparently the community doesn't agree...but you ironically did support undeletion ;) Benny the mascot (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did - to make the point that people have admin privileges because they're trusted. Questioning it can have consequences you do not intend. Perhaps now you see why there are better ways than drama and wikilawyering on the deletion requests page. Wikinews doesn't set the bar for adminship particularly high, you'll likely get it in a reasonable time; you, then, wouldn't want the same done to you. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry if my reposting the deleted post was inappropriate. I thought it would be easier for non-admins to decide which way to vote if they knew what exactly they were voting on. Although I'm not sure why we went through the hassle of oversighting said post, that seemed to have been giving the troll more attention than he deserved (and it's not like there was anything actionable/super offensive on it).

Sports report
In a sports report, as asked at Water_cooler/assistance, the format (x-y, a-b) generally notates overall record and conference record, where x is the number of overall wins, y is the number of overall losses, a is the number of in-conferences wins and b is the number of in-conference losses. I believe this format is generally used in the United States more than any other place. Hope this helps. Calebrw (talk) 06:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Gulf of Mexico oil spill expanding; submarines to try to stop leak

April 27, 2010 After an explosion aboard an oil rig four days ago, an oil spill caused by the sinking of the rig has expanded to cover an area of around 600 square miles (1550 square kilometers), and efforts to shut off the leak have thus far been unsuccessful.

Officials have begun to use robotic submersible vehicles to stop the leak. The efforts began yesterday, although it could be as late as tomorrow before they are completed. The vehicles will attempt to engage a device called a, which can seal the well shut to prevent sudden releases of pressure within the well, like the one that may have caused the rig to explode. According to BP, the company that operated the well, the attempt was the first of its kind in the world.

The leaks are on a pipe from the ocean floor called a. They are currently estimated to be releasing around 42,000 gallons of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, and the oil slick on the surface of the ocean is estimated to cover an area about 48 by 39 miles at its widest points. Officials say oil is not expected to reach land until at least Thursday, and would remain at least 30 miles from land through Tuesday. The impact of the spill on wildlife is currently unknown; there have been no reports of animal casualties, though whales were seen in the vicinity of the spill yesterday.

According to officials, there are two other possible ways to contain the oil spill if the attempt to seal the well is unsuccessful. One option would be to install a large dome over the leak and send the collected oil to the surface, where it would be collected by ships. This has been done before, although only in shallow water. The second option is to drill an entirely new well that would intersect the original, although this could take months to complete.

Talk:New Zealander William Trubridge breaks freediving world record

Incorrect Datas
"This record was for "Constant Weight Apnea with fins", where the diver cannot drop any weights during the dive, and follows a guide line, but cannot touch it. They may use fins to descend, but on the ascent they pull themselves up with the rope. Divers retrieve a velcro tag from a metal plate placed at a certain depth. The record was previously held by Austrian Herbert Nitsch, who reached a depth of 92m (301ft) on 19 April 2010."

It was in the discipline "Constant Weight Without Fins (CNF)" from the depth, and the person wasn't Herbert Nitsch it was William Trubridge.

Discipline: Constant Weight (CWT) Recordholder:  Herbert Nitsch Depth: -124 m Date: April 22, 2010

"Herbert Nitsch that recently took the prestigious Constant Weight record (monofin down and up) from Czech Martin Stepanek, added another meter to his own record, putting it to a depth of 124 meters."

Dale Ogden, 2010 California gubernatorial candidate, talks with Wikinews

April 27, 2010

, a, talks with Wikinews reporter Mike Morales about his platform.

Ogden is a member of the United States' Libertarian Party.

Interview
How would you define libertarianism?

Libertarianism is a political philosophy of minimum government espoused by the founders of our nation. People should be free to enjoy the fruits of their labor and government should be limited to protecting the life, liberty and property of its citizens. That includes such things as national defense, a court system to resolve disputes, and the enforcement mechanisms to enforce contracts between consenting adults and legal entities. A key characteristic of the Libertarian Party is that we do not believe that coercion should be used to effect change. When joining the LP, we take the following oath: "I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals."

On one of California's major issues today, how do you propose to fix our failing economy?

We need to roll-back spending to the level of 1998, adjusted for inflation and population (does anyone think we didn't have enough government in 1998?); lower taxes significantly (especially income and sales taxes); eliminate harmful, useless, and duplicate regulatory agencies; significantly reduce the number of employees at most state agencies; and permanently limit future spending increases based on population and inflation and limited to the tax receipts available (no more deficit spending).

We need to roll-back excessive salaries and pensions for state employees and increase the retirement age for both current and future state employees to 65 to 70 (from the current 50 or 55). We need to end collusion between politicians, bureaucrats and government employee unions. No elected or appointed official should ever get a pension or post-employment benefits.

The friendly business and low tax environment in California will attract tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs to California and, eventually, tax receipts will soar. However, any excess revenue should be used to retire debt or returned to the taxpayers.

What is your stance on gay marriage?

Why not just get government out of people’s personal lives? Let people choose how to live their lives, choose with whom they share it, and decide for themselves what arrangements (marriage or otherwise) should be made for all of life’s situations. Treat every individual equally. Do not discriminate in favor of or against married couples (or groups). Let them decide what promises to make to one another and embed those promises in contracts. The state can then enforce the contracts, as it should enforce all contracts between consenting adults. If religions want to put their “stamp of approval” on a wedding, let them; let the people involved decide what to do.

Do you believe in the legalization of marijuana and why?

Yes. I believe in the legalization of marijuana. The government does not have either the right nor the moral authority to prohibit what substances people put into their bodies for either medicinal or recreational or other purposes. Practically, the war on drugs has been a dismal failure. Just like prohibitions on alcohol, gambling, prostitution, etc., they do not work. They push the activity underground and create opportunities for the criminal element and, likewise, opportunities for the corruption of police and other public officials. Generally, such laws are enforced inconsistently and to the detriment of the most vulnerable individuals in society.

Explain how you think California's immigration laws should work.

Philosophically, I believe in open borders. People should be able to come and go as they please. However, the government should not take money from one group of individuals (taxpayers) and give it to others. We should not subsidize nor penalize immigrants. If people want to come to the United States and California to work and take care of their families, they should be allowed to do so. However, those who commit crimes against persons or property should be either imprisoned (for serious offenses) or deported. In that regard, the United States government needs to monitor and control its borders.

'''Why should California "permanently roll-back spending to or below the level of 1998... and absolutely limit future spending increases?" '''

Over the past 20-30 years, the state of California has continuously increased the share of the economy that it confiscates through taxes and spends, mostly, on unionized government employees and social welfare. It has reduced the amount of money that benefits the general populace in infrastructure. I chose 1998 because that pre-dates the pension scam perpetrated by Gray Davis, the in the state legislature, and the government employee unions, in which retirement ages were reduced to absurd levels and benefits were increased by about 50%. Were we to roll back spending to 1998 levels, we could both eliminate the state income tax and have a budget surplus. In my opinion, that process was a fraud perpetrated on the taxpayers of California and should be prosecuted criminally. The politicians took bribes in the form of campaign contributions and support and the leaders of the government employee unions paid bribes.

Why is it necessary to repeal the global warming laws?

There is no global warming crisis. The alleged warming trends do not exist and there has actually been a cooling trend over the last ten or so years. The "scientists" who raise the alarm on global warming trends have been discredited as having manipulated their data and destroying data that does not support their beliefs (if they even believe them). Billions of dollars of taxpayer money has been diverted to politically correct scientists and scammers like Al Gore who have gotten rich from this falsehood and who propose to use global warming as an excuse to control mankind's behavior (their real intent). Even if there is some minor global warming (which there has been in some earlier periods in history), there is no reason to believe that it would be harmful to the climate as a whole. Some areas may benefit and some may lose, but that would be true if we had global cooling, too. As an intellectual exercise, ask yourself these questions (originally posed by )

 * "Is global warming a reality?

 * "If it is a reality, is it man-made?

 * "If it is a reality, is it a problem? Will the people in the world, and now I have to say "globally" be better-off or worse-off due to small increases of global temperature?

 * "If it is a reality, and if it is a problem, can men prevent it or stop it? Can any reasonable cost-benefit analysis justify anything within the range of current proposals to be done just now?"

Even if we can say yes, with some degree of probability, to the first question, the answers to the remaining questions clearly is no.

'''Why should the state remove itself from the education of children? Would you also cut funds for the University of California?'''

Like everything the government does, it does a miserable job of educating children and spends way too much doing so. Private competitive schools, perhaps funded by vouchers, would be better. Public school systems have way too many administrators and lack accountability. Teacher unions have the same adverse effect on education that government employee unions have on other government "services." Let's give parents choices by eliminating the monopolistic, union-controlled schools. Competition works and freedom works.

As far as the UC [ ] system, it is a massive overfunded boondoggle. Higher education has been protected from price competition for many decades. The more government subsidizes education, the higher the price charged for that education with the result that the students and their parents end up paying as much as before. The cost of education has increased far faster than inflation over the past several decades. From what I've seen and read, most university professors are grossly underworked. They need to spend more time teaching; there needs to be more innovation in teaching to keep the cost down (like online education, but certainly not limited to that). Many of the services provided to students at our universities are more baby-sitting than education. We need real competition in education and we need to privatize our public universities. Let people keep their tax money and use it to decide where to go to school. I propose we sell the UC system to private owners and let it compete.

Talk:Dale Ogden, 2010 California gubernatorial candidate, talks with Wikinews/OR

At 06:43 PM 4/23/2010 -0700, you wrote: > Hello, > > So I figure we will have to do a email interview. > > Feel free to answer the questions and send the answers back to me. > >   1. How would you define libertarianism? Libertarianism is a political philosophy of minimum government espoused by the founders of our nation. People should be free to enjoy the fruits of their labor and government should be limited to protecting the life, liberty and property of its citizens. That includes such things as national defense, a court system to resolve disputes, and the enforcement mechanisms to enforce contracts between consenting adults and legal entities. A key characteristic of the Libertarian Party is that we do not believe that coercion should be used to effect change. When joining the LP, we take the following oath: "I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals."

>   1. On one of California's major issues today, how do you propose to fix our failing economy? We need to roll-back spending to the level of 1998, adjusted for inflation and population (does anyone think we didn't have enough government in 1998?); lower taxes significantly (especially income and sales taxes); eliminate harmful, useless, and duplicate regulatory agencies; significantly reduce the number of employees at most state agencies; and permanently limit future spending increases based on population and inflation and limited to the tax receipts available (no more deficit spending).

We need to roll-back excessive salaries and pensions for state employees and increase the retirement age for both current and future state employees to 65 to 70 (from the current 50 or 55). We need to end collusion between politicians, bureaucrats and government employee unions. No elected or appointed official should ever get a pension or post-employment benefits.

The friendly business and low tax environment in California will attract tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs to California and, eventually, tax receipts will soar. However, any excess revenue should be used to retire debt or returned to the taxpayers.

>   1. What is your stance on gay marriage? Why not just get government out of people’s personal lives? Let people choose how to live their lives, choose with whom they share it, and decide for themselves what arrangements (marriage or otherwise) should be made for all of life’s situations. Treat every individual equally. Do not discriminate in favor of or against married couples (or groups). Let them decide what promises to make to one another and embed those promises in contracts. The state can then enforce the contracts, as it should enforce all contracts between consenting adults. If religions want to put their “stamp of approval” on a wedding, let them; let the people involved decide what to do.

>   1. Do you believe in the legalization of marijuana and why? Yes. I believe in the legalization of marijuana. The government does not have either the right nor the moral authority to prohibit what substances people put into their bodies for either medicinal or recreational or other purposes. Practically, the war on drugs has been a dismal failure. Just like prohibitions on alcohol, gambling, prostitution, etc., they do not work. They push the activity underground and create opportunities for the criminal element and, likewise, opportunities for the corruption of police and other public officials. Generally, such laws are enforced inconsistently and to the detriment of the most vulnerable individuals in society.

>   1. Explain how you think California's immigration laws should work. Philosophically, I believe in open borders. People should be able to come and go as they please. However, the government should not take money from one group of individuals (taxpayers) and give it to others. We should not subsidize nor penalize immigrants. If people want to come to the United States and California to work and take care of their families, they should be allowed to do so. However, those who commit crimes against persons or property should be either imprisoned (for serious offenses) or deported. In that regard, the United States government needs to monitor and control its borders.

>   1. Why should California "permanently roll-back spending to or below the level of 1998... and absolutely limit future spending increases?" Over the past 20-30 years, the state of California has continuously increased the share of the economy that it confiscates through taxes and spends, mostly, on unionized government employees and social welfare. It has reduced the amount of money that benefits the general populace in infrastructure. I chose 1998 because that pre-dates the pension scam perpetrated by Gray Davis, the Democrats in the state legislature, and the government employee unions, in which retirement ages were reduced to absurd levels and benefits were increased by about 50%. Were we to roll back spending to 1998 levels, we could both eliminate the state income tax and have a budget surplus. In my opinion, that process was a fraud perpetrated on the taxpayers of California and should be prosecuted criminally. The politicians took bribes in the form of campaign contributions and support and the leaders of the government employee unions paid bribes.

>   1. Why is it necessary to repeal the global warming laws? There is no global warming crisis. The alleged warming trends do not exist and there has actually been a cooling trend over the last ten or so years. The "scientists" who raise the alarm on global warming trends have been discredited as having manipulated their data and destroying data that does not support their beliefs (if they even believe them). Billions of dollars of taxpayer money has been diverted to politically correct scientists and scammers like Al Gore who have gotten rich from this falsehood and who propose to use global warming as an excuse to control mankind's behavior (their real intent). Even if there is some minor global warming (which there has been in some earlier periods in history), there is no reason to believe that it would be harmful to the climate as a whole. Some areas may benefit and some may lose, but that would be true if we had global cooling, too. As an intellectual exercise, ask yourself these questions (originally posed by Vaclav Klaus)

"Is global warming a reality?

"If it is a reality, is it man-made?

"If it is a reality, is it a problem? Will the people in the world, and now I have to say "globally" be better-off or worse-off due to small increases of global temperature?

"If it is a reality, and if it is a problem, can men prevent it or stop it? Can any reasonable cost-benefit analysis justify anything within the range of current proposals to be done just now?"

Even if we can say yes, with some degree of probability, to the first question, the answers to the remaining questions clearly is no.

>   1. Why should the state remove itself from the education of children? Would you also cut funds for the University of California? Like everything the government does, it does a miserable job of educating children and spends way too much doing so. Private competitive schools, perhaps funded by vouchers, would be better. Public school systems have way too many administrators and lack accountability. Teacher unions have the same adverse effect on education that government employee unions have on other government "services." Let's give parents choices by eliminating the monopolistic, union-controlled schools. Competition works and freedom works.

As far as the UC system, it is a massive overfunded boondoggle. Higher education has been protected from price competition for many decades. The more government subsidizes education, the higher the price charged for that education with the result that the students and their parents end up paying as much as before. The cost of education has increased far faster than inflation over the past several decades. From what I've seen and read, most university professors are grossly underworked. They need to spend more time teaching; there needs to be more innovation in teaching to keep the cost down (like online education, but certainly not limited to that). Many of the services provided to students at our universities are more baby-sitting than education. We need real competition in education and we need to privatize our public universities. Let people keep their tax money and use it to decide where to go to school. I propose we sell the UC system to private owners and let it compete.

Hi!

Although I was born and grew up in Germany, I have been living and working (as a linguistic consultant) in East Africa since 1996. I'm a bureaucrat at the Swahili wikipedia, and that's where you can usually find me.

I wouldn't expect much. People know that oil spills are bad, but not even people near it would actually be appreciably affected. "You've got to break a few eggs to make an omelette," or something might come up. Maybe call it a freedom patty instead.

Thats a pretty large area, everything within a 30 mile diameter must be saturated with oil... With the relaxed restrictions on offshore drilling, we can only expect to see alot more of this...

Smoke bomb thrown in Ukrainian parliament during naval base debate

April 27, 2010

Chaos broke out in the Ukrainian as several smoke bombs were thrown during a debate about the extended lease on a Russian  in Ukraine. (MPs) were seen fighting on the chamber floor while opposition MPs threw eggs at the speaker of the house,.

It is not clear who threw the smoke bombs, although opposition MPs were thought to be responsible, but the debate continued despite the lingering smoke and chaos. The speaker had to be protected by two aides holding umbrellas and politicians held handkerchiefs to their mouths.

Along with the brawling MPs, thousands of people waited outside the parliament building protesting the extended lease.

The clashes began as members of parliament were debating extending the lease on the. The Russians currently have a lease on the base until 2017. The Russians have offered Ukraine cheaper supplies of Russian natural gas in exchange for a further 25 years on the lease.

After the chaos had calmed down, MPs voted on the agreement and the deal extending the lease was backed 236 to 214. The deal was then put forward in the Russian lower house of parliament, where all 410 Russian MPs voted in favour of the deal.

Snap election fails to end political deadlock in Nauru

April 27, 2010

A in Nauru has failed to end a. The election, called a year early by President, had all eighteen members of parliament re-elected. President Stephen's government is controlled by nine MPs with his opponent holding the same number.

Because neither side can decide who should be, a government cannot be formed. Stephen's opponent had been trying to get rid of him for several months. Stephen will remain in power with a.

During his term in office, Stephen has been faced with numerous issues. Nauru was once one of the richest countries in the world, but due to bad investments has become one of the poorest. The country also has high rates of both obesity and unemployment.

Since Nauru gained in 1968, there have been 36 changes in government.

Thread:Comments:Condemned US killer to face execution by firing squad/Seriously?!/reply (3)

Why is there five in a firing squad and not one? Better yet not why not give him the option of hari kari?

What were the details of the original crime he committed? I mean evidence, facts, motivation, etc? What was his statement?

In rereading this story and if I read it correctly, I find it amazing that someone was able to slip him a gun at all and he managed to do what he did in a short period of time?

In deliberating about whether or not one believes in the death penalty, I might suggest watching "Lock up Raw". To determine the truth to this show, go to a prison and interview a convicted murderer yourself, observe the surroundings of the prison, go to a court room, go to a trial, go to a police station, volunteer to work in a probation department, go on a shift with a police officer, sit in a law class, work in a law firm, work in the court system and most of all be a juror and put yourself in his shoes or the victims shoes and then decide if you believe in the death penalty or not. Most of all observe and talk to all people of every station in life in order to undertand oneself and others actions.

Thread:Comments:Stephen Hawking: aliens "almost certain to exist," could invade Earth/Maybe this has not been thought through properly/reply

It is an interesting website. I added it to my favorites bar. Thank you for the info.

A while back, I sent an email to Stephen Hawking which he did not answer. I know he is busy and has health issues. I asked him if electrons only exist because J.J. Thompson invented them? The reason I ask, is because Kepler's equation for planetary orbit does not have an origin. The left side of the equation does not equal the right side of the equation at the origin.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-do-scientists-measure

How do you connect an imaginary line to the origin of the sun if the origin is not there? I can't find any scientist to answer my question.

Suicide bombing in Afghanistan kills three, 35 injured

April 27, 2010 A suicide bombing near an airfield in Kandahar, Afghanistan earlier today has killed at least three people and injured a further 35, according to reports.

According to a commander of southern Afghan armed forces, Sher Mohammed Zazai, the explosion hit the airfield as well as a compound giving logistical help to NATO troops.

A correspondent for Al Jazeera in Kabul reports at least three suicide bombers were involved in the attack. The news agency also attributed the attack to the Taleban.

This attack comes soon after the United Nations said it would be closing its Kandahar office temporarily due to concerns about security. At least twenty civilians, among them eight children, have been killed in attacks in Kandahar since April 12.

Authorities say three missiles struck a compound about 25 kilometers east of, the main town in.

"We have got confirmed reports of five dead but the number could be higher," said an anonymous Pakistani intelligence official, as quoted by Reuters. According to another official, rebels had cordoned off the area.

This is the second drone strike made by a US unmanned aerial vehicle in the area within two days; on Saturday, seven people were killed in another such attack.

User:Brian McNeil/UK Cyber Cecurity Challenge interview notes

prepared

With security software companies reporting more new malware created during in 2009 than in all the preceding time; and, online shopping and banking being commonplace, the UK's Cyber Security Challenge seems a timely move to deal with increasingly sophisticated attacks on network infrastructure, people's computers, and the banking system.

The UK is one of a number of countries frequently targetted. Massive botnets send millions of spam emails per second, compromised websites and professional-looking advertising convince unsuspecting members of the public to hand over bank, credit card, and personal details over.

Last Friday, Wikinewsie Brian McNeil managed to catch up with Judy Baker, head of the newly set up UK Cyber Security Challenge, to find out a little more about what may seem like desperate measures to deal with the use of the Internet for criminal activity. Sitting in on the telephone interview was Allan Paller, from the US-based SANS Institute. Paller was instrumental in setting up the US-based equivalent challenge through a series of games.

A key theme throughout Wikinews' discussion with Baker and Paller was the resources at the disposal of cyber criminals. A – perhaps unrepresentative – sample of around 100 people Wikinewsie McNeil spoke to in the week following the use of the Zeus botnet for financial crime within the UK, the majority had experienced, or knew someone who had experienced, unauthorised credit card use.

New Jersey students protest proposed budget cuts

April 29, 2010

Thousands of New Jersey public school students walked out of classes Tuesday, in protest of Governor 's proposed budget cuts. Although there is no definite number, it is estimated that around 18,000 students did not attend classes.

The walk-out was spurred by a Facebook event calling on students to skip classes and picket their local school boards. The leader of the group, former student Michelle Ryan Lauto, said that she "just want to draw attention to the entire issue and I want to show both the governor and his administration that the youth is not apathetic towards these cuts and that we care very very much so about what happens to our education and our extra curricular activities."

The demonstrations come soon after voters in 59% of the state school districts opposed a proposal to increase property tax levies to pay for schools.

The state's largest teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association, said that the students, who "were engaging in civil disobedience", should not walk-out on classes.

The governor's office responded to the protests in a statement, saying: "It is also our firm hope that the students were motivated by youthful rebellion or spring fever — and not by encouragement from any one-sided view of the current budget crisis in New Jersey. Students would be better served if they were given a full, impartial understanding of the problems that got us here in the first place and why dramatic action was needed."
