wikipedia is not censored is the worst policy

wiki weirdos don't seem to understand that "not censored" doesn't mean that a photograph of their own greasy dick is of equal educational value to a medical photograph

or that everyone who wants to read about a skin disease or whatever also wants to see up close disgusting pictures of it

i mean i've been on medical websites that warn and link to gross pictures but that's just not acceptable on wikipedia

i love how self-righteous they get about it too, as if they're last defenders of free speech

just require all pictures to be properly sourced, and the problem will go away on its own

its kind of interesting that photographers get a free ride from having [[citation needed]] put on anything. uploading pics of obscure things and tagging them as something slightly different sounds like a good way to vandal


also didnt jimmy institute a "seriously quit with the exhibitionism" policy?

they are attempting to create historical evidence that asperger's actually exists beyond the self-diagnosed internet disorder that claims that they are special and smarter than everyone else, therefore of a higher intellectual class. basically what they're doing is retroactively creating the "disease" that they now claim as an excuse for being assholes, worthless whiney scumbags, who are immune to the social rules of normal people because they're "special" (by claiming they are smarter and superior, a farce that is absolutely lacks basis in reality or any evidence beyond the wikipedia article) while still being able to claim it as a disease / handicap when people point out their behavior as being totally unacceptable

leibniz had to be sociable because he was dependent on wealthy patrons. that also made him extremely conservative, and he worked hard to maintain the status quo, which meant that he clung on to medieval scholasticism instead of rejecting it like the English had. his contributions to math and logic were great, but his philosophical writings were a throwback to thomas aquinas and st. augustine.

but i will give more credit to leibniz than newton, because leibniz actually published his work, instead of wasting his time loving around with alchemy.
