Knowledge is power!

[BitVyper]

I can propose an opposing theory that the attraction is because invisible ghosts push all objects together or it is a fundamental property of space

To be fair, I don't think it actually qualifies as a theory until you have at least some evidence/support/whatever.

I theorize that we somehow got off track. I blame Smarty and claim that he is part of a conservative plot to keep discussion away from Conservapedia. Also I think he likes Coke more than Pepsi. I have no basis for those last two claims.

Goddamnit Tev, it's like if TVtroups wasn't run by radical leftists.

I can't stop.

Really some of the best parts tend to show up when people on the site discus the articles.

Lenski's article was published in the PNAS, which is from the National Academy of Sciences. Just Google their name and "god" and see why they care so much about "proving" evolution: 93% are atheists! Maybe PNAS isn't a professional organization at all, but a fraternity designed to influence American public policy away from Christian principles.

Sorry if this question may seem stupid to you, I don't know how politics (and maybe people) work outside of my conservatively liberal country, so your tolerance for bullshit might be higher because you're exposed to such "things" more frequently, which I don't hope. But... my question...

Is this satire?

Seriously.

I'll take the expert's word for it! Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

No, Conservapedia is 100% serious. That's what makes it funny.

Just to explain a bit better after Tev's confirmation that this is not, in fact, satire, Conservapedia totally trashes the Wikipedia model by disallowing public access to the site. Every entry, addition, and change has to be reviewed and approved, apparently. What this means is that unlike Wikipedia, where people (formerly) could post anything they wanted for the fun of it, Conservapedia is a collection of the actual beliefs, arguments, and writings of the far right. Which is to say people are actually that crazy and they enforce it on their site by never letting anything through that they don't believe in or that doesn't meet their strict standards. It's not even a matter of taking shit out or rolling it back like Wikipedia. They never let it even go up.

I refuse to accept that.
Maybe I'm just way to liberal to understand shit like this.
Because I support:
* Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized abortion
* Censorship of teacher-lead prayer in classrooms and school sponsored events
* Support for gun control
* Support of obscenity and pornography as a First Amendment right[2]
* Income redistribution, usually through progressive taxation
* Government-rationed medical care, such as Universal Health Care
* Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled public education
* The denial of inherent gender differences
* Insisting that men and women have the same access to jobs in the military
* Legalized same-sex marriage
* Implementation of affirmative action
* Political correctness
* Support of labor unions
* Teaching acceptance of promiscuity through sexual "education" rather than teaching abstinence from sex.[3]
* A "living Constitution" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it was intended

A satirical conception of the liberal brain.

* Government programs to rehabilitate criminals
* Abolition of the death penalty
* Environmentalism[4]
* Disarmament treaties
* Globalism
* Opposition to an interventionalist American foreign policy [5]
* Opposition to full private property rights[6]
* Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine
* In 2005, it was reported by CBS News that liberals were the most likely supporters of the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution is a key component of atheistic ideologies in the Western World.
* Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the Patriot Act
* Calling anyone they agree with a "professor" regardless of whether he earned that distinction based on a real peer review of his work (see, e.g., Richard Dawkins and Barack Obama).


Actually, fuck political correctness. People are people. The end.
And scratch anything that's exclusive to the US.

EDIT: Yes, I also support "A satirical conception of the liberal brain."

Well, because I am a GODDAMNED NERD, I looked up a couple things.

I love that the anime article randomly links to Sega. And that Sega itself is a one-line article. And no, the Video Games article doesn't link to Sega, making it even more baffling.
