The following questions were posted in various Yahoo's categories other than 'Snow Skiing' - hopefully they are relevant:

If Nelson Mandela is a convicted terrorist, why does he get so much praise these days?

Full question:

Nelson Mandela is a convicted terrorist who was connected to various bombings and atrocities. His wife had people killed by putting tires around their necks full of fuel, and setting them on fire. Nelson Mandela is a convicted terrorist. Terrorists did 9/11. So why do we (rightly) condemn the 9/11 terrorists, but Nelson Mandela (also a terrorist) gets a free pass?

Best answer:

Now I am not at all racist and are the complete opposite from being a racist so don't call me that but I agree nelson mandela was a terrorist. He lead the ANC which he created that commited crimes such as the church street bombing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Street_bombing and the TNC found that "THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT ‘SUSPECTED AGENTS’ WERE ROUTINELY SUBJECTED TO TORTURE AND OTHER FORMS OF SEVERE ILL-TREATMENT AND THAT THERE WERE CASES WHERE SUCH INDIVIDUALS WERE CHARGED AND CONVICTED BY TRIBUNALS WITHOUT PROPER ATTENTION TO DUE PROCESS BEING AFFORDED THEM, SENTENCED TO DEATH AND EXECUTED.". which Nelson Mandela admitted too http://africanhistory.about.com/b/2008/04/14/14-april-1990-anc-admits-it-used-torture.htm These are just a few things his group which he founded and ran did. Now I don't like somethings in america but I would never bomb or kill anyone over it. He had some good intentions but that was a very very bad way of doing them.

How do you escape a headlock and full nelson?

Full question:

Hey, I want to learn how to escape a classic headlock. I also want to know how to escape a full nelson ( for those of you that watch wwe, the full nelson is chris masters move, the masterlock ). I want to know this because no one has ever broken my friend's headlock or his full nelson and I want to be the first one to do it.

Best answer:

To break a headlock, slip your arm between his arm and your head. Also, you can slide your arm between his legs and lift him and fall back(Souflex-like)....As for a full-nelson, you can raise your arms through his and pull outward...Or you can go limp and slide out...OR...you can run backwards and smack his back into something

What is an effective way to escape a full nelson from a taller person?

Full question:

There is this guy at youth group who is bigger than me and thinks its funny to pick me up or put me in a full nelson almost every week. Being generally pacifistic at first, people have decided I cannot defend myself and that it is funny. Being a generally tough person, I wish to teach this jackass a lesson. Give me thorough steps to undo a full nelson from this moron. He won't expect it! Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Best answer:

Stick your arms straight up in the air, almost clapping your hands together. Sit down on your butt, and roll backwards into his legs. Then kick him in the face, or if he follows you down, Knee him in the face. Then get up and run away because he'll probably beat the crap out of you. You could also lean forward and grab your hands together, then snap your head backwards and hit him in the face with the back of your head. Snap back by looking up, not by pushing back. Again, run away after this excellent maneuver. The guy is a bully, and I'm betting that one shot from you will do one of 2 things - he'll either leave you alone, or things will escalate and he'll end up beating you up instead of just playing around with a stupid full nelson. Sounds like the guy is a jerk, but at the same time you aren't being too smart by trying to learn how to defend yourself by reading from the internet. I hope you make a wise decision. Good luck.

Full question:

How long can Bob Nelson keep ignoring his constituents in highly conservative Nebraska 2 back Obamacare?

Full question:

Democrats said Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson's announcement Saturday that he would vote for the bill gave them the support they needed. Nelson came in for strong criticism from Republicans in Washington and from abortion opponents at home. Nebraska Right to Life, a longtime supporter, issued a scathing statement calling him a traitor. The state's Catholic bishops followed with a statement that they were "extremely disappointed" in him.

Best answer:

Bob Nelson is toast in 2010. It doesn't matter how much he got for selling out for health care. He went against his constituents and he will be shown the curb.

What was the most interesting fact that you discovered about Nelson Mandela?

How did nelson Mandela use the south African rugby team to unite the people of south Africa?

Full question:

How did nelson Mandela use the south African ruby team to unite the people of south Africa after the end of apartheid?

Best answer:

Best to go and rent a DVD or watch on pay tv the movie "Invictus" directed by Clint Eastwood. It gives a reasonably good account on Nelson Mandela's relationship with Springbok captain Francois Pienarr by using the RWC as an opportunity to unite white, black, and coloured people in their country. Remember this is a Hollywood movie so some historical facts have been changed and altered to make the story more dramatic. Edit :madaxe - Laurie Mains was the AB's coach at the 95 RWC not John Hart. Other than than, I agree with the rest of your answer.

How did Ben Nelson position himself to bring home the biggest slab of pork in exchange for a yes on ReidCare?

Full question:

Was it just luck, or part of a strategy? Nelson is holding out his yes vote for more pork, the only question remaining is how much pork and in what form the pork is before he hands over his yes vote. Like maybe a Lawrence Phillips Domestic Violence Museum, or a Tom Osborne "Miami Kicked Our Butts Again in the Orange Bowl" Museum. Lots of possibilities, it will be interesting to see how much pork he gets in exchange for that yes vote.

Best answer:

He is a politician there is an underhanded skill game going on!! Merry Christmas and may God Bless

How important was Nelson Mandela compared to F.W De Klerk in the achievement of Civil Rights in south africa?

Full question:

Essay needs to be 2000 words, got some information but need a little bit more background information and If Nelson Mandela was Very Important, why was he very important compared to F.W De Klerk? Thanks :]

Best answer:

Although Mandela was a convicted bomber and advocate of terrorism, as a lawyer he was the only single man who all black groups would accept as leader. His persona lessened the chance of total civil war erupting. De Klerk was a reformer whose reforms alone would have been too slow for the black masses.

What are some great Willie Nelson songs that are not considered classics?

I've heard most of the greatest hit songs by Willie Nelson, and love them, but I've heard a few that aren't so well known that are equally as good. Does anyone have any Willie recomendations that are great songs? It's difficult to pick through such an extensive library.

Best answer:

What do you think about Don Nelson with yesterdays win becoming best all time winning coach?

Full question:

I know im a little late, but I just wanted to congratulate Don Nelson.

Best answer:

I think it's more a testament to his longevity than his coaching genius. I congratulate him for sticking around so long and winning so many games. He has brought a lot of innovation to the game and coached a unique brand of basketball. It was always excting, if not good basketball. That being said, he's never been to a NBA Finals and has alienated many people throughout his careeer. He tries to act like the fun loving every man, but he is also very calculated and petty. Also, his failure to recognize the importance of defense kept him from playing in a championship. Congrats to you Nellie, but I hope I you are gone after this season.

With Jameer Nelson out for the season, are the Orlando Magic still contenders?

Full question:

The Magic have been spectacular this season, making a strong case as one of the top contenders for the championship. Howard has been dominant, Turkoglu and Lewis have been great and Jameer Nelson has elevated his game to all-star status. However, now Nelson is lost for the season due to injury. Without Nelson, are the Magic still serious contenders? Can they still compete with the Celtics, Cavaliers and Lakers?

Best answer:

They're going to take a hit, but they will be in the playoffs where anything can happen. They still have a great core with Howard, Turk, and Lewis. But, up against the Cavs and Celtics? No, sorry they can't contend with them - - the playoff series would be played in either Cleveland or Boston, where the Magic would not win (they might not even win those series WITH Nelson)

What should I do drop derrick mason and pick up lance moore or jordy nelson or mike wallace?

Full question:

Jordy nelson seems most consistant with points scoring just under twenty every week so far. Then on the other hand Lance Moore just got 46 points last week, will he do the same? The weeks before we didn't do a damn thing. Then you got mike wallace whose in the same boat as lance moore, what should I do?

Best answer:

Mike Wallace is the best option IMO.

How do you get onto the cliff ledge on Nelson Bay for Bad Company 2?

Full question:

I just had the most annoying conquest game on Nelson Bay. A whole squad was camping up on the cliff on the A/C side of the map. How do you get up there? I've tried all sorts of ways, and they got up both rounds.

Best answer:

Could you list some reasons why Hitler was a bad leader and why nelson Mandela was a good leader?

Full question:

For an oral presentation I'm going to compare Hitler and Nelson Mandela and try to convince the listeners that Nelson Mandela had good and effective leadership qualities and Hitler had some effective leadership qualities but not enough which made him an ineffective leader.

Best answer:

Well,we start here with a faulty premise,since Mandela was not a great leader.He was a good figurehead to use as a symbol in order to end the Apartheid system in S. Africa,but nothing more. However since the end of Apartheid,S Africa has been on essentially a slow downward spiral.And Nelson Mandela's ideals and ideas,which have been continued by subsequent Presidents of S Africa,are undoubtedly part of the reason for that downward slide. As it is now,S. Africa has the 10th highest Crime rate of any Country on Earth,they have the 2nd highest murder rate on Earth,and the highest Assault and Rape rates on the Planet. About 1/3 of their population has AIDS,and they seem to be barely effective at best in dealing with any of these problems. At the moment S. Africa still is holding together,but that's simply because many of their problems haven't come to the worst case yet.But if they continue on their current path,I would look for a near implosion of the country in the next two decades. And all of that was set in motion at least in part,by Nelson Mandela and his Political Party which continues trying nothing but failed ideas over and over again. AD

Has anyone tried Admiral Nelson spiced rum and if so how is it?

Full question:

Ive tried a lot of cheap liquor including vladdy. Anyways I dont want to pay $16 plus tax for a bottle of captain and want to try admiral nelson. I hear it taste just as good as captain morgan. Is this true or am I wasting my money? If anyone has had Calico Jack spiced rum i would like to know about that too.

Best answer:

More often than not I end up buying the Admiral just cuz of its price and I'm a poor college kid. It's okay as long as you mix it well with coke or whatever you're mixing with. Don't take shots of it, it's nasty alone. The best rums I've found so far are Cruzan, Malibu, Captain Morgan, and Bacardi Gold. Just my preference though. I've done a lot of experimenting with rum, how else would I get through college?

How did Baker v Nelson reach the Supreme Court through "mandatory appellate review"?

Full question:

Baker v.Nelson reached the Supreme Court, not through certiorari, but through mandatory appellate review. What circumstances made it "mandatory" for the Supreme Court to review it? It's highly unusual for a social issue to be "mandatory" for the Supreme Court to review. What circumstances made it mandatory?

Best answer:

The decision has a massive effect on Federal law. The constitutionality of a state deeming something legal that impacts Federal laws is of course going to have to be decided.

I am not sure but a Nelson Square "might" also be known as a Trafalgar Square. My nan used to make them when I was small ( Im 42 soon ).

Can the Magic win a championship with Nelson as their 2nd best player?

Full question:

I think the Magic need a 2nd superstar not a good player to go all the way. If the Hornets struggled next season, I think the Magic need to try to trade for CP3. Give 3 first round picks, Jameer Nelson, Brandon Bass, JJ Redick.

Best answer:

The Magic don't even have a second best player. 1st best player: Dwight Howard Then there's the rest of the team who put up no effort.

What are some points I could use to argue that Nelson Mandela is/isn't a freedom fighter?

Full question:

I already have a few but I'll probably need a few more. I have an exam on Nelson Mandela (and Jack the Ripper) on Monday and I need some help writing a practise essay on the question: "Was Nelson Mandela a freedom fighter or criminal? Discuss." Thank you so much! :) Thanks everyone who's helped so far, but I can't look at videos unless they're on Youtube. Is there a version of that video you sent me the link to on Youtube? Thanks.

Best answer:

So a criminal is a person that has committed a crime, right? This is a logical assumption that cannot be challenged. But do we know what a crime is? 1. Is there a logical assumption that can clarify this question? This would mean something like "crimes are things that criminals do" but for this to be true a criminal should be an ontological entity regardless of time and space. 2. Do we have an intuitive way of knowing what a crime is? Perhaps, since there are some human deeds that we intuitively consider wrong because of the harm they do to others like murder. Human rights are supposed to hold all those actions that seem to hinder the notion of human behavior. But you also commit a crime if you don't pay taxes or alimony. So... 3. Are some crimes non intuitive? There are some actions committed by humans as citizens that are considered criminal not because they harm humanity but because they harm the State. So the State defines certain actions as criminal even when they could hinder notions that humans strive for, like liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So that is why "when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government". It follows that Mandela would have been a criminal under the laws of a fair State but not under a despotic State since such a State had no underlying right to impose its abusive laws. So Mandela was a freedom fighter.

How did Nelson Mandela use the national rugby team to unite South Africa after the end of the Apartheid?

Full question:

How did Nelson Mandela use the national rugby team to unite South Africa after the end of the Apartheid?

Best answer:

Presumably you have an essay due in school. Well, fair enough; happens all the time on Yahoo Answers. Just don't plagiarize what Iago has provided! [Hint, especially don't just copy it, because it includes the citation to the original author; props to Iago for including that.] There is more to this than just the rugby story. Nelson Mandela gave a priceless gift to his country - all hues! - through his willingness to forgive. Placing the welfare of the entire population ahead of his personal reactions is not so simple to actually do. Because his treatment was very well known, his calls for a united South Africa that moves beyond all that history have allowed a path forward to exist. In contrast, consider the role and functions fo Robert Mugabe in Zim, and how that has wounded that beautiful and tragic place. Jalan's comment is beyond idiotic and well into the pathetic. Mark L.
