in other news...holy fuck, wingers are fucking retarded and the wingnut welfare machine clearly has too much money to burn. this is a real book being sold in stores, whose titular question was answered before it was published by obama saying, 'right here, fool.' and yet the koch brothers have bought up enough copies to put it on the best-seller list.

Yep, that's what those magnificent bastards do. Once I created acount just to fuck up their Ronald Reagan page, and I was banned near instantaniously. But not before I deleted nearly everything that was written. Unfortuantely, the fuckers must have the pages saved on some sort of backup file.

You know, if I could, I would have this site shut down and the people in charge of it executed. We don't need blatant stupidity being spread around. No matter how obvious it is. The stupid are fairly good at corrupting the ignorant (such as a child) and drawing therm into their ranks.

Ah, the answer is not to breed ignorance on the part of the individual then, isn't it? I don't think censorship, no matter how easy nor popular, is a viable nor beneficial answer.

I don't see the point in trolling Conservapedia, considering the only person in that community who isn't a troll is Andy Schafly, who is such an inadvertent send-up of the US right-wing that he may as well be one.

Check out this article they link.

http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/ ... 7256.story

They were using it as eveidence that there are difference between the "indecisive and troubled mind of a liberal, or the steadfast and sure mind of a conservative."

However, from the article:

"Participants were college students whose politics ranged from "very liberal" to "very conservative." They were instructed to tap a keyboard when an M appeared on a computer monitor and to refrain from tapping when they saw a W.

M appeared four times more frequently than W, conditioning participants to press a key in knee-jerk fashion whenever they saw a letter.

Each participant was wired to an electroencephalograph that recorded activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, the part of the brain that detects conflicts between a habitual tendency (pressing a key) and a more appropriate response (not pressing the key). Liberals had more brain activity and made fewer mistakes than conservatives when they saw a W, researchers said. Liberals and conservatives were equally accurate in recognizing M."

So it looks like there are physical differences. Liberals are physically better able to recognize when a knee-jerk reaction is inappropriate, while conservatives keep making the same mistakes over and over and over without though, or regard to the correctness of their response :p

Thanks, Conservapedia!

Hey. Now there's a balance. Right-wing extremists (conservapedia) and left-wing extremists (wikipedia). Both consist of false information and both are written in biased POVs.
Economic Left/Right: 3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.41

Yeah, it makes you wonder. That Schlafly fellow who runs the site is the son of Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative activist from the 1960s on. Her bio in WIki makes interesting, if chilling reading.
