Conservapedia is a website shat out by a cry baby tired of the liberal bias of Wikipedia embodied by their occasional use of British spellings which are proof of their hatred of America and their pro-fact slant in only siding with Evilutionist in the scientific deb--- I'm sorry I can't say it with a straight face. Anyway the site provides unintentional comedy, the world according to your uneducated teabagger, the tragedy being that people actually buy into this sort of thing. quote:Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was a Communist[1] who is most famous for his book, A People's History of the United States. The book has sold over a million copies and gives a far-left interpretation of political history (see historical revisionism). Zinn's work manifests an inability or unwillingness to engage in objective analysis, and lacks contextual considerations, and instead his presentation of history is a polemic for liberal change. Zinn was very popular with liberal elites, and his book was made into a propagandistic film, "The People Speak", which the History Channel carried on cable television. or how about good old Carl Sagan, from the front page quote:Liberal Carl Sagan, an avid smoker of marijuana who claimed that marijuana gave him scientific insights, was a prominent peddler of extraterrestial life, evolution and other pseudoscientific nonsense. Jon Stewart is part of evil television quote:The Daily Show since 1996 has been a satirical program geared towards public school students which airs on cable network Comedy Central. The show's news team presents, "news like you've never seen it before -- unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity or even accuracy."[1] The Daily Show was created by Lizz Winstead and Madeleine Smithberg in 1996, hosted by Craig Kilborn until 1999 when Jon Stewart took over the anchor's chair.[1] Liberals have recognized the leftist slant of the show by giving it a Peabody Award and nine Emmys.[2][1] This article, is part of a larger series of articles on the nefarious liberal characteristics and traits, which goes as far to repeat the lie that Adolf Hitler was a liberal. Speaking of which, what is a tactic of liberalism, Ma Videuh Games! quote:Video Games and the Spreading of Liberal Values This is what conservatives actually believe.

Conservapedia is what you get when you moisten your buttocks, flap them back and forth, and record the resulting squishing and smacking noise, then put it through a speech-to-text program, and post it on a wiki.

Wait, the op has no mention of the Conservative Bible Project? For the few of you who are unaware, Conservapedia decided that the bible had far too much Liberal bias, so they decided to write their own version. It's probably not the dumbest thing the site has ever done, but it certainly got the most media attention.

Also, why is he taking offense to Christianity being used as a political tool in MTW? Christianity was a political tool in the Middle Ages.

Occasionally I'll go to the front page of CP (You never need to go any further) to see if I can find something truly and utterly ridiculous. I was certainly not disappointed a minute ago.Conservapedia posted:Freedom of speech? Not in Britain, which has banned the new movie about Princess Diana portraying a conspiracy of "the British establishment – judges, lawyers, politicians, police chiefs, secret services, even newspaper editors – all of whom have been appointed to their positions because they are 'a safe pair of hands.'" [8] Conservapedia posted:Liberal double standard: Liberals seem just fine with the conspiracy theory promoted in the new movie about Princess Diana, despite how liberals ridicule any conspiracy theory unfavorable to themselves. [14] So Liberals are promoting a conspiracy theory that is being censored by more Liberals, and somehow both sides of this story make them the bad guy? Just to warn everyone, the sheer cognitive dissonance on that site is something to be in awe of.

Lid posted:Try and understand that. This is actually sort of an amazing post because literally nothing contained within is true. It's as if they researched carefully, wrote a detailed article based on that gathered research, and then deliberately changed the value of each statement so as to make it untrue. It astounds me because of the level of detail. Normally at least a few things in every body of work are correct in some way. You have to be actively working at it to fail like that.

quote:* Unnecessarily violent torture being used by American soldiers (Call of Duty: Black Ops) So is conservatopedia saying that some violent torture is ok on American soldiers? Thats not too patriotic of them. But besides that failure in their logic, do they think since the word video is in it, that the character being tortured is actual a real person?

Arguments Against Homosexuality posted:There are many arguments against homosexuality based on religious grounds and on its effects on society which include such matters as the negative health effects of homosexuality and that homosexual couples experience significant higher rates of domestic violence. That's it. That's the entire "arguments" page. Also, somewhere on the site is a page of "examples of liberal tactics" which involve such things as "science" and "facts". e: Can someone explain exactly what it is about Conservatives that makes them so opposed to the idea of global warming/climate change? Is it really just because of Al Gore?

I really want to know how StarCraft II mocks YECs. I can always do with a good YEC joke. And you can't really talk about Conservapedia without the Lenski Affair where Lenski made himself out to be a complete jackass demanding the raw data behind a major experiment that demonstrated evolution of new structures in bacteria. Schlafly cited that materials and data might be available, and Lenski ended up saying that the direct data and materials are pretty much one in the same: the strains of bacteria they had frozen and saved up over the 20-year experiment. He then asked if Schlafly had the facilities to actually handle this bacteria safely and in accordance with basic EH&S guidelines (incubator, autoclave, trained biologists, etc) if he really wanted them shipped over for independent Conservapedia analysis. This led to Schlafly whining to the journal that published Lenski's paper, which was summarily rejected because it was vacuous bitching. Also check out Schlafly's crazy, sexist, incompetent homeschool curriculum. He seems to think that girls aren't nearly as smart as boys so they should get separate tests and lowered standards, and proudly boasts the fact that his home school class sizes are the largest of any homeschool program, when one of the benefits of homeschooling is SMALLER class sizes and more individual attention for students. The man is insane. Also, as someone else said, "he talks like a diarrhea-gargling muppet." EDIT: ^^^Oh and apparently a human trial of 1400 individuals apparently isn't enough for Andy to qualify as a proper phase 3 clinical trial.

Brolita posted:e: Can someone explain exactly what it is about Conservatives that makes them so opposed to the idea of global warming/climate change? Is it really just because of Al Gore? The idea that human activity has caused and is causing climate changes is opposed by two different general groups of people: - The business wing opposes this idea because it implies that businesses should do something other than maximize the amount of money coming in. They know full well what climate change is doing, but anything resembling corporate responsibility is anathema to the philosophy of free market over all. Combating climate change would mean combating the culture of needless consumption and expansion that Capitalism requires in order to fulfill its purpose of making the rich richer. - Religious folks oppose the idea on the grounds of an expanded idea of manifest destiny. God put us here to be fruitful and multiply, and implying that we should maybe check ourselves or exercise restraint goes against that idea. Besides, the Rapture is coming any day now anyway. They also oppose climate change out of the general "culture war" ideals of simply opposing science in general.

Brolita posted:That's it. That's the entire "arguments" page. Part of it is because the Rapture-Ready brand of Fundamentalist Christians genuinely don't give a poo poo about the longevity of the world: the sooner all goes to hell (literally), the sooner the Saved will be swept up to heaven while the unbelievers blister in the ensuing holocaust. Note how anxious and, in some cases, downright giddy some people are about the End Times. Another part of it is because Conservatives loathe environmentalists for having the gall to say "Hey maybe we should conserve our dwindling natural resources." These guys will actively stick it to liberals by turning everything they have full blast on Earth Day. From running every electrical appliance they have to leaving their car engines on idle to stink up the place with CO2 because God dammit it's our RIGHT to waste as much fuel as we want and don't you liberals dare tell me what to do! ![]() Basically for these guys, Mother Nature's dried-up teats may be a symptom of resource menopause, but that just means it's one less thing to worry about when you're raping Her.

Also, Wikipedia posted:Conservapedia states on its "Manual of Style" page that "American English spellings are preferred but Commonwealth spellings, for de novo or otherwise well-maintained articles are welcome". It prefers that articles about the United Kingdom use British English, while articles about the United States use American English, to resolve editorial disputes. So what does the article on W. H.

I am on a quest to find out what liberal myths GTA IV portrays as fact This is what I found quote:The fact that the game is designed to be as realistic as possible has led to speculation that Rockstar is in fact actively encouraging real-life mischief and violence for publicity. http://www.conservapedia.com/Grand_Theft_Auto quote:popular online video game World of Warcraft has been shown to be as addictive as drugs, and has destroyed marriages and lead to obesity and and bad health (due to physical inactivity).[3] quote:Video games have also been shown to help people to become more attuned to their surroundings and increase coordination, and in the future may be used to treat people with visual problems and to train soldiers quote:At least one study has shown that, contrary to the position mentioned above, kids who don't play video games at all seem to show more violent tendencies. Of course, as expected, those who played violent video games for large amounts of time also showed violent tendencies, however the study claims that this is a "risk marker", not an actual cause. [11] One thing I have noticed about this site is that they seem to have a hard on for criticising the GTA series quote:Faith in Video Gaming has, as a rule, either led to the creation of new and dynamic antagonists, or video games that are mediocre, such as Spiritual Warfare and Bible Adventure for the Nintendo, or The Bible Game for various systems. Bible Adventure in particular is infamous for its poor design and playability. I wonder why That page led me to this page http://www.conservapedia.com/Video_game_industry Which is the page that was in the OP with the BS about video games spreading liberal myths. I still don't see how GTAIV is shoving myths down my throat, they have no GTA IV page, and no explanation of why.
