Concerned Women For America

A Conservative Christian pressure group based in the bible belt of America. Possibly some of the most fanatical Christians ever. They say they stand for six core issues:

"1. Definition of the Family:
CWA believes the traditional family consists of one man and one woman joined in marriage, along with any children they may have. We seek to protect traditional values that support the Biblical design of the family."

- CWA are against gay marridge with a passion because it's "depraved". I wonder how depraved beastality is compared to homosexuality. They wish to see all gay, bi and lesbian people be stripped of all civil rights. They also want to remove women of civil liberties and their rights so every woman becomes a housewife. They feel Feminists and womens rights groups are wrong.

"2. Sanctity of Human Life:
CWA supports the protection of all life from conception until natural death. This includes the consequences resulting from abortion."

- CWA believe that stem cell research is muder, even if will save countless lives by curing what are incurable diseases. Also that abortions are also murder, if you're raped, it's your own fault.

"3. Education:
CWA seeks to reform public education by returning authority to parents."

- CWA want parents to carefully monitor their childrens everyday life to insane lengths and hopefully rid them of any rights allowing them to express themselves.

"4. Pornography:
CWA endeavors to fight all pornography and obscenity."

- CWA also counts obscenity to be swim models on coffee cups.

"5. Religious Liberty:
CWA supports the God-given rights of individuals in the United States and other nations to pray and worship without fear of discrimination or persecution."

- What this entails is that Christianity should be forced as the only set of moral guidelines in the United States and they should be the soul people to tell others what is right. Even though it is impossible to say what is moral and immoral as each persons opinions differ greatly. They also want to get rid of the theory of evolution in schools and teach creationism instead, because one supernatural being creating the universe is much more comprehensible. Also that all science books should have labels with "This is just a theory." on the front.

"6.National Sovereignty:
CWA believes that neither the United Nations nor any other international organization should have authority over the United States in any area, including economics, social policy, military, and land ownership."

- This is so that America is free to invade, plunder and lay waste to anyone it pleases; so that the international community cannot debate with them under any circumstances to come up with a logical decision. Ideally so that America will become a worldwide super power.

Out of curiosity I compares CWA to the American Nazi Party and the main issues they stood for were suprisingly similar. The quote belows looks at how CWA occassionally hints at racism...
"The ideology commonly known as "political correctness" or "multiculturalism" now shapes the actions of government in thousands of ways. Under the rubric of "hate crimes," it sentences American citizens to additional time in jail for political thoughts. As "affirmative action," it "privileges" women, blacks and homosexuals over heterosexual white males. In some cases, it requires private businesses to give their employees "sensitivity training," psychological conditioning in obedience to the state ideology, including its demand that everyone express approval of homosexuality."

American Football

American Football originates from the English sport of Rugby. It is played between two teams on a field of 100 yards (120 total including the end zones) with a brown oval shaped object called a Football. A team’s objective is to get it’s offense on the field as often as possible (to score) and keep the opponent’s offense off the field when possible, and limit their performance when they are on. Team’s score by driving the ball down the field by running and passing. The most common form of scoring is the touchdown (six points), followed by field goals (3), and (rarely) safeties (2). Immediately following the scoring of a touchdown the scoring team is given the option of performing a two-point conversion (worth 2 points) or the point-after-touchdown (PAT, 1 point). Field goals and PATs are scored by kicking the Football between a tall goal post located behind the end zone. Professional and collegiate games last full 60-minutes while high school games normally run at 48. It’s important to note that due to timeouts and play huddling Football games normally last between 3 and 4 hours.

Critics (normally foreign) seek to compare the playing style of American Football to Rugby. This is inaccurate, however. They are two different sports. While in Football certain positions require significantly larger stature and others do not, virtually all positions in Rugby require relatively large size. Linebackers, Tight Ends, Full Backs and (larger) Quarterbacks are often suitable for Rugby while positions such as Safeties, Half Backs, and Cornerbacks are normally not. Lineman can also suitable for Rugby play but few are. Unlike Rugby, American Football is a strategic sport and hence more importance is placed upon skill in positions. This, along with size differences, is why players rarely play both defense and offense.

Unlike Rugby, by rule, Football play requires one wears protective gear. While in Rugby very large players tend to tackle other very large players, in Football very large players tend to tackle players inferior in size to them which can result in higher rates of injury. In addition to this, turf is becoming increasingly common as a replacement for grass in Football stadiums again reinforcing the necessity for protective gear. Attire includes a hard helmet with facemask, numbered jersey for identification, shoulder and chest pads, tight pants with buttock, knee, and thigh pads, and cleats. Regardless of protective gear, Football has a higher injury rate than Rugby.

It is played on High School, Collegiate, and Professional (namely NFL) levels. Rules are generally the same throughout all levels but differ to varying degrees by league and skill level. American Football’s popularity rages in America overwhelmingly as the most-watched sport, but has failed to catch on in popularity in foreign countries (only Canada has a variation). Because of this, however, it remains a trademark of modern American culture.
Each season the National Football League organizes the most popular American Football teams for five months of hard-hitting action.

Americant

A American who is extremely lazy and who refuses to work for a living. Similar to a Mexicant. Americants are often overweight, unhealthy, and poor; not because something terrible happened to them but only because they won't work hard. They want everything handed to them on a silver platter. An Americant may be of any race or religion.
Shawn is a classic example of an Americant, he mooches off of everyone he knows including the US government.
