Stalingrad posted:^^^^ Yea, its hyperbolic, and a joke, but people from CP and Freep and other far right websites that post this kind of insanity I have no doubt that in their minds harbour a great fear every time they see someone who they see as representing the enemy. I mean, don't these people normally live in gated communities or small towns where they "don't take kindly to certain types of people", and not in large towns or cities where there is pretty much constant contact between various groups.

So after all of that "will being foreign/from a country with gay marriage/from an increasingly atheistic nation lead to underperforming?" ruckus, hints of an impending meltdown from the column intending to track the correlation of gay marriage with failure:quote:Too early to tell. Listed below are the country's medal totals for the last Olympics prior to implementing same sex-marriage (which can be seen as a fair proxy for their totals this year), along with actual totals for this year so far. Denmark, Canada, and Sweden have already overperformed, while the Netherlands and Spain are clearly underperforming. For the others, it's too early to tell.  Stop that overperforming! We do not underexceed expectations. We do not exceed expectations. We do exactly as we did before. Back in the box![e: I did not even know "overperforming" was a word before.]

More insightful olympic coverage from the trustworthy encyclopaedia http://www.conservapedia.com/Joke_sports quote:Examples of joke sports include: Either than the fact that none of those are "joke sports", love the misogyny. This is literally just a list of sports Andy doesn't like. Edit: oddly enough if you check the edit log, he removed Women's fencing and shooting from that list, probably because only liberals hate guns, but kept in Women's boxing etc. because "it's overshadowed by the Men's events". gently caress you Andy.

From the talk page, insight from Andy as to why women's boxing is on the list:quote:The other female sports you list seem more legitimate than women's boxing. Women's boxing appears to be particularly artificial - how often are there schoolyard boxing matches between girls?--Andy Schlafly 19:55, 9 August 2012 (EDT) True, I have never seen a children's boxing match break out. Unlike schoolyard swimming matches. Those happened all the time. Even in the cafeteria. quote:I've added "underlying purpose" to the sport as a criterion. More insights are welcome.--Andy Schlafly 00:13, 10 August 2012 (EDT) Still amazed he has not yet been banned.

I'm well aware of Andy's ways, I've been following his descent into madness for quite a while. Theres normally at least some logical consistency to Andy's madness, yes I know it all comes down to what he does and doesn't like, but it's not always this arbitrary. Usually it's based on decisions he's already made (or other conservative pundits) no matter how spurious, I.e. "Britain is atheist, therefore football (sorry, soccer) is liberal!" He's now got a hate on for the swimming medley because "it would look silly on land"

Yea, when do girls ever break out in boxing matches? I mean when I was a young boy we had boxing matches all the time, someone would call someone a queermo or make fun of their mom, and then after a few rounds of carefully regulated punches a ref would step in and give the kids a score and they'd shake hands respectfully at the judgement.

However they've disabled all chat so you can only listen.

No, no, they didn't. Back to the Talk page!quote:Just because it's hard to do doesn't make it a serious sport. Ballet is hard to do. So is playing the 'cello. Neither of those are sports. Just because it has a long history doesn't make it a serious sport. It is an elitist activity that the average sports fan cares nothing about. RayM 10:02, 10 August 2012 (EDT) SharonW just removed it from the list because she thought it was trolling to have it there. SharonW confuses me; why is she there? She seems moderate. quote:I have yet to see an "informed opinion" on any of the sports listed on this page. What I see is a bunch of editors who think it's fun to disparage hard-working athletes for their own amusement. SharonW 10:27, 10 August 2012 (EDT) Seems, I guess.

Windozer posted:Zoroastrianism never happened. To be fair (and I feel bad for sort-of defending conservapedia here), Zoroastrianism isn't/wasn't originally monotheistic was it? I always learned that it was focused on dualism, which does make it a fairly obvious progenitor to something like modern Christianity where everything is either "Acceptable" or "PART OF SATAN'S NEFARIOUS SCHEME", but it still recognized two distinct deities.

That's not even a loving breed, you can have purebred dogs of any type and besides, different dog breeds do not constitute their own species. Except Indian dog, which, if it refers to

Diolatian posted:Pretty sure they did not have any of those breeds 6000 years ago, either. Normally YEC's at least admit that dogs come from the grey wolf, the different rooms for each breed is new to me. YEC's had to give up to some extent, hence why they came up with "baraminology", i.e. bullshit that claims that the bible says kinds of animal were made (baramins) and each baramin could change, but not become a new kind of animal. So all birds can become different birds, but they have to stay birds. They'll argue how far this can stretch amongst themselves, for obvious reasons, they can't go too far! So some will be saying "well actually birds have multiple kinds" (i.e. a finch can't become an eagle), while others will be saying "all birds can become all birds". This is one of the main things that made them stop calling it creationism and start calling it creation science, because well, they were theorising. Obviously as always they have no idea what theory means in a scientific context, and use theory in the sense of an idea they just pulled out of their arse.

That was actually quite sad. Dude was linking us to studies that disproved his assertions, then claiming that it was obvious that these people who did this work and drew these conclusions were entirely wrong about what their work meant, then saying everyone who disagreed was stupid. Straight past pride into hubris. Also seemed to think that definitions were solid things. Also admitted that aliens were a plausible intelligent designer and he argued for them because there was just as much indication it was them as it was a god, but did not seem to draw any conclusions from this.
