Mark Foley

1. Disgraced Rpublican Representative from Florida who resigned after it was revealed that he sent sex messages to a 16 year old page. Worked on Child Protection Committee. Gay guy who voted to ban gay marriage. Covered for by Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert. GOP leaders and pro-"family" groups were quick to blame to scandal on gay people, proving that they really are homophobes.

GOP Leader: We were afraid if we stopped Mark Foley from preying on teenage boys we would be accused of gay-bashing,
Person with common sense: You've never been afraid of hurting gay people, plus the boy was 16 with a 53 year-old man for crying out loud!

Pro-"family" advocate: Mark Foley proves that gay men hurt little boys.
Person with common sense: You're a homophobe

not guilty

Two words most people don't know the meaning of. It doesn't mean "innocent." It just means that there wasn't enough to prove the person guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, in most cases the person probably did it because in order to get to the trial phase you have to be indicted by a court. The police need probable cause and a warrant to arrest you in the first place, unless the officer arresting you actually saw you do it. Also if there is no evidence the judge has to dismiss the charges.

The jury found the defendant "not guilty" even though they knew he probably did it because the prosecutor didn't prove he was guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

PC

Personal computer, contrary to popular belief pc refers u have for personal use, including macs, not just windows

I love my windows pc. Some people prefer mac pcs. Neither is really better than the other; it's just a matter of personal preference. (Yes I am aware of other PC OSs like linux)

AP World History

1. An impossible class that results in sleepless nights, ruined GPAs, failing grades. Death. But it will teach you more about history, economics, culture, social hiearchy, politics and you guessed it ... history than any other class - if u make it out alive. Usually taken by sophomores who don't know how hard AP classes are, but honestly the first AP is always hell so it's usually better just to get it over with. Also the exam is much easier than the class.

Grade in Class: C
Grade on AP World History Exam: 5

homophobia

Dislike, fear, hatred, and/or disapproval of gays and/or homosexuality, often (but not always) for religious reasons or because of insecurity about one's sexual orientation.

Many people who suffer from homophobia do not realize it and even deny it. Others will kill gays or accuse them of molesting children.

censorship

1. stopping the free flow of art and ideas.

For those of us in the US we do NOT enjoy the right to free speech (even though it is in the constitution). The supreme court ruled in the Miller case that "obscene" materials are not protected under the 1st amendment and can be banned or regulated; translation: regulated censorship is constitutional thanks to a few activist judges who wanted the government to impose its morality on us. Basically if the subject or content is sexual in any way then whether its obscene or not is up for majority vote; they actually said if the average person would be offended by it and think that it had no artistic value (if you weren't offended by it or thought it was a work of art why would you want to ban it in the first place). This is why it is illegal to give porn to minors, because it shows sex even though this should be decided and enforced by the parents the government is getting involved. Also there's no law against showing violent material to minors, so basically its worse to expose them to consensual sex than murder.
