www.conservapedia.org


It's the perfect example of "I don't entirely agree with what this says, and since I utterly cannot stand to be questioned about anything, I'll write the complete opposite and embrace it blindly."



A few choice articles:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_agenda

http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism
(Which despite stale self-embarrassing arguments, isn't as bad as I had predicted.)

http://www.conservapedia.com/ACLU
(Again, not outright as... utterly hilarious as the first, but it's clearly a lot of blind finger pointing. Not that I encourage the same right back, mind you.)



In parts, it does what it claims to do, in presenting a conservative viewpoint of politics and sociology. In others, it utterly begs its self to be clung to by the most ignorant minded in society.


Though, I would call that a problem unto its self. I can't say we don't have those just as awful about blind claims and generalizing insults amongst our own ranks as well. That's.. a discourse for another time, though.

Quick comparison I did a while ago:

I search Wikipedia for "reliability of wikipedia", and get this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia

I search Conservapedia for "reliability of conservapedia", and get this:
http://www.conservapedia.com/Debate biggrin oes_bias_impair_Wikipedia's_reliability?

Conservapedia: when Wikipedia doesn't tell you what you like to hear.

Why do I get the feeling that this is just another work of satire?

It's almost as embarrassing as creationwiki.org.

Well, I found out about it while in an argument with a conservative Christian who berated me for using the inferior and liberally biased Wikipedia. And he sure wasn't kidding.

He accuses you of using a biased source, and in turn, uses a biased source?


Please show me the reasoning?

I love the little chart at the bottom of the Atheist page. The fact that they think we would want to marry anybody in their families is a bit strange...

People, apparently, would rather marry Charles Manson(a white American) than an Atheist.

I see your racist, close-minded banter and raise you a serious faced emoticon.

This was bound to happen eventually. A minor, disenfranchised, weak group creates a hermetically-sealed environment where their opinion can rule, despite said opinion being largely ignored and hated by mainstream society.
