Because linking Evolution with Hitler, Intelligent Design with scientific objectivity, Women with subservience and slavery, Abortion with multi-billion dollar business, Atheism with "negative effects on individuals and society at large", and homosexuality with murder is "trustworthy"[1].

I wouldn't be near as annoyed if they didn't spend so much time bashing Wikipedia on their site for being biased/corrupt/it's too hard to summarize 24 pages of negativity. Guess the internet just isn't big enough for anyone else's opinion.

[1] Conservapedia. (2008). "Main Page". May 22 version.

And if anybody objects, I'm just following Conservapedia's summary style with my post

I've seen that site before and gave up in disgust. Wikipedia has it's problems, certainly, but it's not even close to as prejudiced and biased as the conservapedia.

That, my friend, would be an insult to the prejudiced and biased site community.

:lol: I guess they'll just have to try harder ;)

The thing is, there are sites that are prejudiced and biased for the 'lulz' or purely to promote a reaction, and there are sites like conservapedia, which actually think what they are posting is the 'real' truth, which is damn scary.

It's like reading Anne Coulters' blog...

Edit: For example, take a look at their definition of 'Atheist', they get it wrong, it's not denial of the existence of God, it's denial of the existence of any deity, but the phrase has been twisted around to make it personal.

Wait, conservapedia isn't for the lulz?

Well, I laugh at it, but the people editing it seem to think it is real, and that's kind of depressing.

See, I'm not really sure how this is actually conservative in any real sense of the word. Seems pretty radical to me... :P

If you think that's a laugh, look at the section on Galileo Galilei!  :lol:

It fails so hard it wins.

Quote
Pornography is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity used for the intents of stimulating sexual arousal. It usually consists of images depicting the satisfaction of the sort of "unnatural lust" which leads to damnation. (Jude 1:6-7 ) It destroys the mind as gambling does and, even worse, pornography leads to terrible crimes against women and children by pornography addicts.[1]

[1]Scott Peterson, for example, was hooked on pornography when he brutally murdered his pregnant wife.

True, but good intentions mean accepting that there are several sides to the argument, not simply stating 'anyone who isn't like us is wrong, and here's a link to somewhere else on the same Website where I say 'anyone who isn't like us is wrong', therefore it must be true, because I have a citation.'

I don't remember Scott Peterson being hooked on porn. And wasn't he acquitted?

I still think Encyclopedia Dramatica are Uncyclopedia are the most accurate and trustworthy.  Just like The Onion is the best among CNN and Fox.

I think the boys over at ED may have actually raided Conservapedia a couple of times.

The fact he added a couple of porn channels to his package days after his wife disappeared was used as evidence that he knew she wasn't coming back. He was actually convicted (unless wikipedia is spreading liberal lies again. :p)
