The 'Better' Wikopedia


Apparently the real one is biased.

I'm sorry but this place is a hoot, I can't think of anything thing else to comment on it.

I know I'm probably going to get attacked for this but good grief, the level of male bovine waste is so high you need neck high waders to survive.

Some choice snippets

Quote:
The theory of evolution is a naturalistic theory
Silly me I thought it was a scientific theory, I had no idea we had a new name for science.

The examples of liberal style were quite a chuckle as well, given the evenhanded [not] approach this place takes.

Quote:
preference for obscenity and profanity
I loved this one. I can see the problem though. Its so hard to win a scientific debate when nobody will take our religious beliefs as scientific evidence. Why is that biased ?

Quote:
attempting to control the rules of evidence used in a debate. For example, claiming that Young Earth Creationism is false, and then refusing to allow supporting evidence by claiming that the scientists are religiously motivated.
Only do that when it is.

Quote:
calling conservative free speech "hate" speech
There are far too many great quotes to list

Yes, of course, we needed to start up controversy on these issues again. Of course. Maybe this time, someone will be convinced to change their views.

Oh I found another good one

Quote:
Wikpedia's entry on liberal former Vice President Al Gore contains no mention of the drug charges against his son.[34] But Wikipedia's entry on conservative Vice President Dick Cheney prominently mentions his adult daughter's sexuality
Maybe that is because Al Gore doesn't promote the use of illegal drugs. While Dick Cheney this homosexuality is a sin and inquiring minds wonder why if he thinks it is so evil for the rest of the planet why he doesn't similarly denounce his daughter.

Why try to edit history when you can rewrite it? It's much simpler just to start from scratch, don't ya know.

Edit, rewrite, make up?

How is this any different than the way its always been done.

Now instead of Catholic priests making crap up in a Monastery somewhere its being done by the sociopaths online.

In 100 years there will be so many versions of history floating around out there that the concept of history itself will have become a total joke.

I loved one comment about Wikopedia's liberal bias.

They allow anybody to edit, we all allow a selection group {don't remember the exact wording]

How about exposing loonies to the light of day might help dry them up.

Nidan, I don't normally post in P&R but get your facts right before making a statement like this. Dick Cheney is a supporter of gay rights and he disagrees with the president on this.

That I know, but I thought he was in lock step with GOP anti gay rhetoric

Am I wrong ? I know he won't criticize his daughter but I thought he was still on board with the "Gay is a choice and Sin" line.

Am I wrong

Actually, one can have this view and still fully support gay rights.

Ok now I'm really confused ?

How can you think it is a sin and a choice and still support gay rights.

Because whoever believes thinks that punishment of sin should be handled by God and that people should have rights in this country (including freedom to practice other religions, privacy, etc) even if you disagree with other people's beliefs or stances.

Not all religious groups believe in forcing their beliefs down your throat thru legislation. In fact, I'd say the overwhelming majority of people fit in that category.

The minority on this stance are just typically the loudest

Last I checked, sex outside of marriage ranked the same among many conservative people of faith, but that doesn't preclude defending the Constitutionally-protected rights of all Americans.

I'm guessing you're letting the most vocal among people of faith define how you view all people of faith.
