Should Scotland Be Afraid Of The American Government?


Scotland has vast amounts of oil, and as you know, various American governments have sent their army to attack oil rich countries to acquire the wealth for themselves. If Scotland wins its independence next year we’d no longer have a large enough army (due to not being affiliated with the Brits) to fend off an attack what would stop the Americans attacking us?

Why Do So Many African American Rappers Adopt Elements Of Italian-american Culture?


They act like guineas all the time. For example:
Kool G Rap named himself after Sam Giancana
Yo Gotti named himself after John Gotti
Daz Dilinger named himself after John Herbert Dillinger
Scarface named himself after, well Scarface
Nas made a song called “The Don”
Wu-Tang and their affiliates frequently reference La Cosa Nostra in their lyrics.
The list goes on.
Why do so many rappers try to emulate Italians?

Why Are African Americans So Affiliated With Christianity?


Its not a racist Question. I know others are probably just a religious, but i wanted to be more specific. Do you think it had more to do with culture and an upbringing or is there more to it.
I ask this because i’m the only atheist in my African American Family. The rest are Christians. Most just claim it but probably don’t know **** about it or even care to know. I dont see how any one can be a christian “AT ALL” but i guess… Its whatever. So yea, Why do you think so many AA’s are Affiliated with christianity. 87 percent of them.

Can You See If I Got These Right?


can you check and see if my answers are right?
the questions will pertain to this paragraph….
The Knights of Labor
The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor (KOL) was formed in 1869 in Philadelphia. Uriah S. Stephens and a handful of tailors created this union to organize skilled and unskilled workers in the same union. The Knights of Labor offered membership to workers regardless of gender or race. In the early years, it was a secret organization because many workers who were openly in unions were fired. They created elaborate secret rituals drawn from the Freemasons. By the early 1880s, they were a national force powerful enough to drop their secrecy.
The KOL had ambitious goals. Among these goals:
an eight-hour work day
end child labor
end the use of prison labor, which deprived other workers of jobs
equal pay for women
government ownership of railroads and telegraph lines
land policy that benefited settlers instead of speculators
a graduated income tax
Although the KOL initially opposed using strikes, they were common by the mid-1880s. The Knights won strikes against the Union Pacific Railroad in 1884 and the Wabash Railroad in 1885. But they failed to win the Missouri Pacific strike in 1886. That was the same year of the Haymarket Square Riot, during which a bomb exploded, killing several policemen. Soon the Knights’ demands appeared to go against the American system of government and economy. Opponents of the Knights became more vocal. Poor management, internal bickering, and feuds between skilled and unskilled workers eroded its support. By 1900, the Knights of Labor were virtually powerless, and other less radical unions became more popular.
The American Federation of Labor
Samuel Gompers had observed the Knights of Labor struggling. He knew that what workers wanted most were higher wages and improved working conditions. In 1886, Gompers met with leaders from the masons’ union, the hatmakers’ union, and other craft unions to form the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Unlike the Knights of Labor, the American Federation of Labor did not seek to include unskilled workers. Gompers believed the union would have more power if it represented only skilled workers. It also used strikes to force improvements for workers.
Gompers recognized that support for the Knights of Labor had suffered because of the organization’s radical ideas. As a result, the American Federation of Labor pursued a more moderate course. It provided strike relief, or support, to striking workers so they could continue to provide for their families. Successful strikes helped improve workers’ wages and reduced the length of their workweek.
By 1900, as the Knights were declining, Gompers’ union had over 500,000 skilled tradespeople in its ranks. He was seen as the leader of labor, and until the Great Depression, the AFL was seen as the nation’s most important labor organization. The AFL benefitted from Gompers’ leadership and the realistic goals he set.

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

Why Do Cons Choose To Ignore The Scientific Consensus On Global Warming?


I’ve noticed cons like to get their science from political websites.
A political organization, an amateur website, a blog, one person. These are not SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS.
=================
All well established SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS engaged in climate research support man made global warming.
1. AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY, FOUNDED IN 1919, OVER 14,000 MEMBERS
“There is unequivocal evidence that Earth’s lower atmosphere, ocean, and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers, and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities. This scientific finding is based on a large and persuasive body of research.”http://www.ametsoc.org/POLICY/2012climat…
2. THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, FOUNDED IN 1876, OVER 164,000 MEMBERS
“However, comprehensive scientific assessments of our current and potential future climates clearly indicate that climate change is real, largely attributable to emissions from human activities, and potentially a very serious problem.”http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/co…
3. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, FOUNDED IN 1888, OVER 24,0000 MEMBERS
“The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse‐gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s.”http://www.geosociety.org/positions/posi…
4. AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION, FOUNDED IN 1919, OVER 45,000 MEMBERS
“The scientific evidence for human activity impacting climate is strong and widely accepted within the
scientific community. Given the significant current and potential impacts of climate change,
scientists have a unique responsibility to educate the public and public policy makers on this topic.”http://www.agu.org/sci_pol/pdf/position_…
5. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, FOUNDED IN 1848, SERVES 262 AFFILIATED SOCIETIES AND ACADEMIES OF SCIENCE FOR A TOTAL OF 10 MILLION INDIVIDUALS
“The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. Accumulating data from across the globe reveal a wide array of effects: rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, increases in extreme weather, rising sea level, shifts in species ranges, and more. The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now.”http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/clim…
