If that's the Saloon Bar, then what is this? The bathroom or the back alley? Toast 17:29, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * I have decided:it's the back alley. Toast 17:40, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Probably a repositry for piss and vomit. Генгис    17:42, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * And for fightin' ? Toast 17:51, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Eggsakly; Toast 17:50, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * BTW, Genghis,I like it (the saloon bar). How come we've never had one before? Toast 17:50, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * I don't know, but there has been an increasing number of "I don't know where to post this" entries clogging up WIGO:CP which resulted premature archiving of active threads. Also the Main-Page_talk doesn't seem appropriate for things that people just want to comment on but are not site-related. Генгис    18:04, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Are minors allowed in this here saloon? 17:54, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Of course, but they can only have a sasparilla. Генгис    18:04, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Sidebar
Should we add this to the nav sidebar?  Phantom Hoover  16:51, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah, I think that's a good idea, it would give it a chance of actually being used.  DogP  17:17, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * It is done! Toast 17:35, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. Please! Генгис    17:37, 11 January 2009 (EST)

How do we decide which conversations take place in the saloon bar & which ones in the back alley? 18:27, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Conversations about the saloon bar take place in the back alley? Toast 18:30, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Ah, the old days. It reminds me of when CP was the saloon bar, and RW1 was the back alley.  By the way, too bad the way the sidebar works is so fucking clumsy, I wanted to add "and the back alley" to the saloon link, but it failed as expected.  ħ uman  23:47, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Saloon bar
I wouldn't be seen dead in a saloon bar. That's for golfers, tories and similar vermin. Can we call it the snug instead? Totnesmartin 04:42, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * The snug's for the old ladies (Ena and Minnie). Also saloon is a reference to US wild west bars. We can't be too UK-centric about our terminology. As for saloon or lounge v. public bars, well most places I go to only have one bar nowadays. Генгис    05:31, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * See you here then Martin, in the back alley, next to the dumpster. [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast 05:34, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Great! Mine's a pimm's. 08:50, 12 January 2009 (EST) Totnesmartin

As far as American Western references go calling it a saloon bar is redundant and seems disfluent. Saloons are more or less bars and vice-versa. Why not the Coven or something as a nod to the Satanists among us? or the Yert for that Goat herder liet-motif? Exasperate me!Sheesh! Not the most impressive contributor here 14:41, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * I'm just striking a balance. The posher pubs in the UK have saloon or lounge bars in contrastto public bars or tap-rooms where there's sawdust on the floor and they play darts or dominoes. Генгис    18:40, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Well, a "saloon" is also a type of car... so that dump on the other side of that door is the bar in the car... Speaking of that stinky dump, can someone sneak in on another nachos raid? We're running low out here.  ħ uman  19:03, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Chalkboard
I like the chalkboard, very pub-like. Генгис   07:56, 13 January 2009 (EST)
 * Cheers.  08:12, 13 January 2009 (EST)
 * I've put in a pub sign style header as well now. + A bunch of smileys, which can be removed if people find them too irritating.  12:51, 13 January 2009 (EST)
 * The only problem I've got with this now is adding new sections. Can any JS whizzes add a new section button? Генгис    13:27, 13 January 2009 (EST)
 * Copy the link at the "+" sign here, edit it, and paste it at the top. I'll do it.  ħ uman  13:53, 13 January 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah, I love it too. But it can only fit so much on before it becomes unusable so perhaps having three or four that are randomly selected? And of course, an editor to trim off spam and old notices, there's nothing worse than a massively out-of-date noticeboard. <font color=red face="Tahoma"> A rmondiko V  User_Talk:Armondikov 15:02, 13 January 2009 (EST)

2 days now....
.....So no sleep. Nope none. Fuck the shadow people are popping in and out of my vision and the orange tablet I swallowed about an hour ago has caused all the blood to flee my frontal lobe. I am trying desperatly to make sense of my surroundings yet, as soon as I have a grasp on reality, things fall away from me and I find myself talking incoherently to the empty beer bottle staring at me in the face. I am sitting in my little home office listening to my girlfriend speak, at the other end of the house, to her ex-boyfriend. She is explaing, in the nicest possible way, that last night inbetween dinner and the F1 I propped myself on one one knee and flung a ring at her. Yes indeed, I did the honourable thing. jesus fuck, my blood is thinning. My typing is erratic. I feel the ebbs and flows of a certain brain embolism running from my tail bone up into my head.

Random
Is this the place to start a random discussion? Am I in the right place? Alright that's a rhetorical question. I've been doing that a lot lately, gosh.

I was wondering if there could be debate about anything else besides the mayoral election in my life. No staff in my school never thought of doing a debate on something like abortion or religion. A religious debate would be quite a feisty and loud one but I can just so imagine that. My teacher would have his eyes wide when he will see the forceful and violent sides of my classmates.

Find the bypass...
Find the bypass. Find the bypass. Find the bypass.

It's what a scout lives for: to find the bypass.

Obstacle on the route? Find the bypass.

Bridge that can be destroyed? Find the bypass.

There's a mountain in your way? Find the bypass.

It's in a scout's blood to find the motherfuckin' bypass, no matter what. This applies to life as well as topography. Physical and metaphysical. Real and surreal. Tangible and intangible. Find the fuckin' bypass or die tryin'.

You know what doesn't have a bypass?

The Grand Canyon. Niagara Falls. The Atlantic motherfuckin' Ocean. My wife when she wants something.

Those are the things that don't have bypasses.

Really, they do though. You just have to go a hell of a long way off of the main route to find them.

If we want to clear some room, maybe take some of the filler out of the bartop (jukebox, drinkquote, etc. - I think the novelty has worn off on this stuff). 17:36, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Ranting in the alley with a bottle of ale and a vicious shoulder-riding chip
All god damn pissy, only half drunk but not enough to take me over the threashold. Sun burnt, throat roughed red from cigarettes, pills and wine, hungry and this fucking stupid wireless router. So the wireless breaks down. Try all the usual stuff and nothing happens. I turn everything off and go away for the weekend. Come back, still fucked. Try the Playstation which still connects to my wireless so the problem isn't the signal. Try everything, nothing works. Unplug wireless router in rage, throw cables across the room and plug into my normal router. Still won't connect. Fly into bigger rage, go to shop and buy beer. Come home and try everything again. Get enraged, kick shit and smoke. Uninstall wireless and associated software and try reinstall, get halfway through installation before I get an error. Reset wireless router to factory settings, same problem. Drink beer, throw an empty bottle at a bird and consider moving to Siberia. Connect computer via ethernet cable to wireless, wireless to router, router to wall socket and internet starts working. Realise the only way I can connect is by running through the wirless with a series of cables but can't actually connect directly from my PC to Cable Internet. Only works through the wireless, settings all fucked up, beer all over the floor yet curiously the PS3 still connects despite restoring all the settings and not sure if the signal is password protected. Computer still tells me no signal in range while surfing the net on the PS3. Fiancee sober and Not Fun. Fucking hell. Aceword up 06:37, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Guide to the Book of Mormon
Hello,

I'm new to RatWiki membership (though I've browsed for a while), and I consider myself an ex-Mormon (I'm currently being raised Mormon and still have to go to church and all of its activities, etc.). Since we have a guide to the Bible, I thought it would be fun to make a guide to the Book of Mormon as well. What do you guys think?
 * Sure, if you're happy to take the lead on it, since most of us won't know as much about it as you. 06:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Suicide Choir
"Sometimes I feel,

Long ago, life took the last breath from me.

Life itself, the grand enemy.

The white bride of wretched death,

Did guide me through gardens grey.

The fruit of which, would only grow to rot away.

Amidst these vast gardens,

Even doth the sun itself,

Seem so pallid.

Seven statues of saddened stance,

Perhaps the craft of a man still sadder.

Fallen leaves of a thrice dead oak,

A morbid portrayal, of a once grand majesty.

The once glorious moon,

Its pallor so unhallowed.

Kneel before,

The Suicide Choir.

Be judged by your,

Suicidal desire.

What would one tear filled glimpse stand to reveal?

Upon his grey green throne,

Stained with the horror,

of a thousand bloodied suicides.

Sate the Suicide Choir."

What are you doing?
I have to ask, what are you all doing here? You've started a site called "RationalWiki", and dressed it up to look like a reliable source for information, but none of you seem to be the least bit interested in verifying that the information actually is reliable, or in justifying why anyone else should believe a word of it. Some of you are not only not interested, but, when asked, openly contemptuous and hostile.

So, what are you doing? If it's not to build a reliable information source, then why are you here? Is it to advocate your own political position? I don't understand how you can pretend that this site has anything to do with rationalism, when one of you can write, unchallenged, "[P]olitical leftism is correct, while rightism is incorrect. Simple as that." (Obliquely disagreeing is not the same as challenging -- clearly, this expressed view is acceptable here.) Others capriciously assert that there is no such thing as truth -- the mother of all logical fallacies.

Every page I've visited so far belies the notion that this site is devoted to rationalism. That's a shame, because people could really use a site that was, to help them sort out fact from fantasy. I don't know how such a site would work, but this site is not even close.

Don't you see that the hubris you exhibit by assuming you are right, and assuming you are rational, without doing due diligence on your own thought process, is the same trait exhibited by every anti-science villain in history? It's not enough to feel in your gut that you're right -- everybody has that feeling. It's not enough to have Internet buddies to back you up -- there's that pesky matter of selection bias.

I accuse this site of being a purveyor of lies and nonsense.

It has:


 * No process for quality control,
 * No standards for evaluating evidence,
 * No guidance for editors on how to be "rational",
 * No safeguards in place against what is probably the most pernicious source of false information: groupthink. On the contrary, groupthink is enshrined as a community standard!

(On a side note, it's pretty obvious that something is wrong when you have parody pages mixed indiscriminately with ostensibly serious ones.)

This site's guilt is compounded by the fact that it ostentatiously bills itself "rationale". It adopts the veneer of integrity, without bothering to implement anything that integrity entails. Klortho (talk) 08:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Honestly? Those are all things that could be changed, but promote more bureaucracy and don't really generate quality content on their own.
 * As to how to be rational: you aren't rational. Neither am I.  Individual ideas can be rational, and can be quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated in ways particular to their domain of knowledge.  You wouldn't ask for a mathematical proof in a chemistry lab, you wouldn't ask for scientific experiments in a court of law, and you wouldn't want to convince a jury of your peers that an essay has certain themes.  Ideas have rationality tests and understanding what those tests are is not some easy on-off switch you can put into a machine and *ping* get the right answer.  ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 18:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Quality control, jokes, etc. are all essentially fixed by requiring citations -- same as on WP. Anything more than that is very difficult to enforce and begins to tread the line of "what is rationality". 22:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I am pleased that more people are seeing the issue with Rationalwiki. To say that those who are protesting this platform do so because of ideological differences is absurd, my own viewpoints are rather similar to most of the perspectives here, from politics to science. Rationalwiki's main problem is that it becomes a staging ground for individuals to harass others and voice their own distorted opinions on people or topics with the comfort of being anonymous. As a progressive, I am alarmed to see that we have our own version of the 'alt right' in this behavior, and Rationalwiki is simply 'fake news' dressed up as an encyclopedia. One individual who edits quit frequently here has conducted illegal activity such as extreme slander and leverages the page ranking of this platform on Google as one of his main staging grounds. It is highly likely that David Gerard, Fuzzy Cat Potato and the powers that be here simply have psychological disorders and see nothing wrong or harmful about their abuses. See what happens when people get a little bit of power on the internet? 03:23, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Rationalwiki's harassment problem
It is highly recommended this platform reflect on allowing a known online stalker whose name I wont mention and his massive sock army here and removing the articles he has posted against individuals he holds grudges against online. As the evidence is building against this individual and the legal ramifications, RW will be held accountable just as much as this individual since they harbor his activities. This individual's initials are O.S. Stopharassmentonline (talk) 01:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Isn't posting vague threats and insinuations like the above just another form of harassment online? Stop yourself! Annquin (talk) 10:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure, if we want to use bizarre logic, it is harassment in the same sense that an abusive husband considers himself the victim after he beats his wife. This message, and all messages to follow, are a response to harassment and an attempt to achieve some sort of recourse despite being blocked or banned when attempting to do so. Consider, if this platform actually allowed some sort of responsible pathway to resolve these issues, legal recourses would not be necessary, hence this message.Responsive12 (talk) 00:08, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * (As an editor)Look, we've seen people attempting to do this in the past, and take a very dim view of our site being used to make defamatory claims, particularly about unrelated internet drama. If you point to examples of these articles, and your point is valid, there's no need to be vague and use several different accounts.  We're a modestly small community and things slip through the cracks, but please no more legal threats, the salloon bar is not the venue to make them.  ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 00:15, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * And just so you know, making legal threats is a reason to get yourself another ban.--JorisEnter (talk) 00:46, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * There have been many attempts to try and resolve this reasonably over the years, every single one of them met with hostility or twisted logic to justify why they are doing what they are doing. Why don't you inform me of how you would prefer this is addressed? I would prefer a peaceful and non confrontational resolution, however if I am met with hostility, naturally I would choose what ever other options are available to me, and simply stating that is NOT making a threat so please do not treat it as such simply so you can find a new way to ban me or censor this discussion.


 * Shouldn't we try and do better as progressives? Do you really want practice this type of abuse that is similar to  the 'shitposting' tactics of the_donald, 8 chan and the alt right? Don't you see that what you are doing here is actually HARMFUL to your own ideals as progressives and discredits the ideas you claim to promote? Do you really want to use those same sort of tactics? I'm a politically progressive and pro science individual, yet on this website I am treated as an anti science crank. What makes this difficult for me the most is that since I actually SHARE most of the viewpoints here on this site AND I am someone WHO IS politically active in many of the same areas this platform claims to speak for, you're putting me in an awkward position.


 * So why don't we start fresh? A simple rational conversation will take minutes, but creating multiple accounts and getting banned over and over again will continue to be years in the making.


 * Please advise as to next steps. Responsive12 (talk) 03:46, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Which concrete claim in which concrete article do you have a problem with? Worzelpete (talk) 03:58, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I am skeptical about addressing your question here simply because past experience tells me it will simply be met with more hostility. How about this, why don't you provide me with a throw away email account, and I will email you from another throw away email account. In that email, we can both agree to keep the contents private, and carry on our conversation that way? Honestly, this is not really a safe space to have this discussion if you want me to mention names and details and I would rather not have a dozen responses to my statements that simply dismiss me with name calling and accusations.

 * Since you want to discuss legal threats, you should contact: legal@rationalwiki.org
 * You should also stop posting vague insinuations here & await a response from the Foundation. 09:45, 14 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you yourself should email legal@rationalwiki.org and inquire as to what actually constitutes a legal threat, because clearly you're confused. Since I clarified in writing in this post that I was seeking to have a reasonable dialogue which should NOT be construed as a legal threat, you appear to be informing me that my only recourse is a legal one. Odd. Was that your intention? Are you saying that the only way for me to resolve this is a legal channel and you are unwilling to resolve this with me any other way? Please be clear as to your answer, and be certain that you are speaking for the platform and community, not just yourself. In case you are still confused, my intention is to resolve this by my own petition directly to the editors here and in a way where I will not be harassed for doing so. I don't think that is vague at all. What are you afraid of? Responsive12 (talk) 13:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You've said you want to discuss whatever this issue is by email & I have provided you with the relevant contact details. If addressing it to an email address designated for legal issues pains you, try rationalwiki@rationalwiki.org instead.  It's likely to be the same RMF board members/officers who respond either way.  14:08, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

"Stopharassmentonline" is a sock of Rome Viharo (he suddenly now claims to be "pro-science" and wants Rationalwiki to remove his history of supporting pseudo-science and crankery. I'm the person he's talking about, but what he writes about me is false. Yesterday he threatened to contact my parents or report me to the police; he showed up on my blog leaving his same delusions and false accusations and he's been doing the same to Tim Farley. He's completely nuts. I've never harassed anyone on Rationalwiki, nor have I harassed him. He's still talking about his Wikipedia ban that happened 4 years ago. He joins multiple forums/wikis to post about me and Tim Farley; I recently got a defamatory Wikipediocracy thread of his closed and the admins on that site also saw his as a troll; no one believed a word of his baloney story he's been harassed, but he still goes spamming it on wikis and forums. 86.14.2.77 (talk) 03:03, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Mods on a power kick?
I appreciate that mods are an important part of a site like this, but are there any safeguards against mods who are just on a bit of a power kick? For example, someone who might undo multiple edits that have offended them without any kind of explanation or reference to the RationalWiki guidelines. It seems that every now and again you may get a mod who perhaps isn't quite able to participate on an intellectual level, so ends up going a bit nuts with a ban-hammer instead... and as far as I can see, there's nothing the site can do about it? Is that about right? I signed up thinking this was a discursive community site as per "we welcome contributors, and encourage those who disagree with us to register and engage in constructive dialogue" - but that doesn't quite work if there is even one unaccountable autocrat, unwilling to engage in dialogue, who normal users can't touch. Star Gazer (talk) 15:44, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * mods dont have any special powers. they cant do anything a regular user cannot AMassiveGay (talk) 15:49, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Do I mean mod? Maybe I've got the wrong terminology, maybe I mean sysop.  Anyway, whoever has the power to shut down discussion by undoing edits, blocking users then locking a page.  Star Gazer (talk) 15:58, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * that is literally everyone. you or i can revert, block anyone or anything here AMassiveGay (talk) 16:58, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Errrm that doesn't seem to be true. There is a whole that only SysOps can do.  "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Sysops".  So my question remains.  Anyone experienced on RationalWiki tell me how constructive dialogue can be encouraged, if just one SysOp decides against that policy?  Star Gazer (talk) 17:24, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * pretty much everyone is a sysop here. its like the default position. you argue your point and try to gain a consensus via talk pages. if you cant, you'll likely be reverted. AMassiveGay (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No one starts as a SysOp, so it's not default. I agree with your point, but my issue is that people can and do ignore a Talk page.  An example; I made an edit, it was reverted and I was told to take it to a Talk page.  Fine.  So I took it to the Talk page, and no one had anything to say about it, including the person that asked.  I concluded that it had passed muster, so I put it back.  Then it gets reverted again, no explanation, no talk, no dialogue.  Just a SysOp tantrum.  If the site is supposed to encourage constructive dialogue, awesome, I'm in.  My question is still... what happens when a SysOp is unable to do that?  It means that 'gaining a consensus via talk pages' ends up being a way of preventing edits, because you can just ignore the Talk pages and prevent a consensus being reached.  Star Gazer (talk) 18:07, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * firstly,[RationalWiki:Sysops], secondly, i note that there is a distinct lack of dialogue from you on the bait and switch page - take it to the talk page works both ways. defend your edits if they are reverted. mods can step in an empasse. there is the chicken coop for more extreme conflict resolution, not i might add for edit wars. in all cases a majority is required. its a little early mods or coop either way. AMassiveGay (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Subjects RationalWiki will never cover
The Terrible TV Shows Wik

This wiki is known to have beliefs coughed up by Right Wing Fanatics and basing their hatred on some shows off of their political preferences

"It is becoming incredibly biased against right-leaning Youtubers. One video uploaded by Mr. Dapperton that was meant to debunk "white privilege" was restricted. There has even been a recent purging of conservative, libertarian, and centrist accounts on YouTube which was called the Youtube Purge. Another example was when a video showing the violence and chaos caused by the terrorist group Antifa was taken down for almost no reason."

http://terrible-tv-shows.wikia.com/wiki/Bill_Nye_Saves_the_World

"Bill Nye is not a real scientist. He has a bachelor's degree in engineering. Bill Nye has gone full SJW with this show, promoting various SJW propaganda such as gender identity and homosexuality while insulting religious beliefs and actual sciences. Many clips from his show have hit heavy dislikes. Links will be in video area. Because he follows the "sciences" taught by SJW ideology, many of his statements are almost a betrayal of how he used to be in his original show, Bill Nye the Science Guy."

So what? Science according to anyone at The Terrible TV Shows along with sister wikis has been considered outdated, considered sexist by majority and old beliefs.

"SJWs (short for social justice warriors) have become one of the biggest groups of killjoys and threats to entertainment, focusing on censoring things they don't like in shows or even getting a show cancelled on TV, forcing their ideology down our throats and hearts and saying that everything is racist, offensive, and sexist when they are racist and sexist themselves (as you can tell they prove how hypocritical they are),"

Thats pure Conservativism and paranoia.

"Celebrities are entertainers well known in the mainstream ranging from Hollywood actors, producers, directors, singers, songwriters, and athletes. However many celebrities have now sided with leftists, S.J.W.s, and BLM and have become very preachy over politics, have become obsessed with subjects they know nothing about and frequently insult and criticize Donald Trump so much that it has become very annoying. Many of these celebrities even use social jusice as a way to hide their own immoralities and thus are major hypocrities. Down below are notable examples."

"Samantha Bee: Called Ivanka Trump a "feckless cunt" over a picture of herself holding her child, costing her over two thirds of her sponsors. Lena Dunham: Has her own article. Paul Feig: Blamed all criticism of the Ghostbusters remake on "misogyny" and tweeted to his followers to support Feminist Frequency. Judd Appatow: Applauded the UC Berkeley riots and said it was "just the beginning." His tweet was deleted but archived by Breitbart. Lexi Alexander: Also applauded the riots at UC Berkely. Joss Whedon: Made a tweet wishing for a rhino to "fuck Paul Ryan to death". Made a video with the cast of Avengers to try and convince people not to vote for Trump. Is friends with Anita Sarkeesian.

Alyssa Milano: Personally drove people to the Georgia polling booths to try and get Jon Ossoff elected. When Ossoff lost, she stated she wanted to puke. Leslie Jones: Assaulted Milo Yiannopoulos for his review of Ghostbusters. When Milo's supporters and some trolls defended him and attacked Leslie for it, Twitter services banned Milo as a result. Melissa McCarthy: Said that critics of the Ghostbusters remake were 45 year old men living in their mothers' basement. Sarah Silverman: Made a tweet mistaking road construction markings Nazi symbols. This one backfired heavily. Kathy Griffin: Made a photo of herself holding a prop that looked like Donald Trump's bloody head. This backfired heavily as many comedy clubs canceled her appearances and even CNN removed her from their New Year's event. Although she apologized at first she soon doubled down on her stupidity and tried to make herself look like a victim. Madonna: Outright stated she thought about blowing up the White House after Trump's victory. Snoop Dogg: Made a music video where he shot a guy dressed up as Donald Trump in the head. Robert De Niro: Called the U.S. a backward country suffering from temporary insanity. Rosie O'Donnell: Although she hated Trump for decades, she crossed a line when she endorsed the Push Trump Off A Cliff Again game Martin Sheen: Called America the land of lunatics while in Canada. Lady Gaga: Made a petition to try and get the electoral college to vote against Trump. Supports the Black Lives Matter group. Cher: Compared Trump in charge of America to Dracula being in charge of a blood bank. Lea DeLaria: Threatened to take a baseball bat to Republicans and Independents if Trump won. Michael Moore: Made his own anti Trump play, said that Trump's victory came from angry white men that were dying out without considering the women, gays, and people of color that voted for Trump. Colin Kaepernick: Popularized "protesting" the National Anthem in the NFL by kneeling, wore sock detailing cops as pigs, supported Fidel Castro by wearing ashirt to honor the dictator shortly after his death. Wanda Sykes: Flipped off her own audience and shouted "fuck you" to them after they booed her for an anti-Trump statement. Martha Plimpton: Extremly pro-abortion, stated she had her first abortion in Seattle and acted proud for doing so. Jennifer Lawrence: Claimed that Hurricane Harvey and Irma were a result of Trump winning the election. Bill Nye: Went full S.J.W. with his new show Bill Nye Saves the World. Jill Soloway: The creator of the show Transparent shouted "topple the patriarchy" after accepting an Emmy award. Chelsea Handler: Referred to blacks holding conservative opinions as being "black white supremacists." Sally Field: Supports the abortion chain Planned Parenthood. Is fully aware people are sick of hearing actors discuss politics but doesn't care. Leonardo DiCaprio: Claims to be an environmentalist but often rides around in a private jet. Mila Kunis: Made monthly donations to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence's (a pro-lifer) name. George Clooney: Often talks about open borders while hypocritially leaving Italy during the migrant crisis. His movie Suburbicon is basically a movie blasting "white privilege." Matt Damon: States he doesn't believe in walls. Signed up for Emma Watson's He-For-She program. J.K. Rowling: Often talks about about taking in refugees but like a hypocrite has not taken one into her mansion. Spike Lee: Pretty much all his movies are anti-white propaganda. Bruce Maxwell: The first MLB player to protest the national anthem. Made anti-cop statements during a drunken tirade. Quentin Tarantino: Joined BLM. in anti-cop marches. In an act of hypocrisy, he stated he knew about Harvey Weinstein's actions but did nothing about it. Jeffrey Tambor: Star of the transgender propaganda show, Transparency. Claimed that people's lives depend on the show. Debra Messing: Praised her own son for kneeling during the national anthem. Jane Fonda: During the Vietnam War, she posed on anti-aircraft guns to shoot down American aircraft, made radio broadcasts to shame American troops and called American POWs hypocrites and liars and considered the torture they received "understandable." Jim Carrey: Extremely anti-gun. Made a picture of two children riddled with gunshot wounds one day after a school shooting. Called supporters of the Second Amendment "heartless motherfuckers." Despite trying to act morally superior, he has been accused of giving his ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White, STDs even when he knew he had them according to some doctor reports he had and then dumped her afterwards. White died from a drug overdose sometime after the breakup. Rob Reiner: In addition to frequent Trump bashing, he called Trump supporters bigoted white males that don't have college degrees. Formed a comittee to investigate Russia's ties in the 2016 election in spite of the fact that that theory was disproven. Despite acting like a liberal, he made North, quite possibly the most racist film ever made. Stephen King: After a train carrying Republicans crashed after hitting a garbage truck, Stephen King made a tweet calling it "Karma." It should be noted that a passenger of the garbage truck hit by the train, Christopher Foley, died as a result of the accident. AniMat: Said that you're a racist if you vote for Donald Trump and to choose between him and free speech. Minnie Driver: Stated that there is no hierarchy of abuse, stated that Matt Damon was "part of the problem when he said there's a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape. Said that men need to listen and not have an opinion for once, basically trying to encourage the term "listen and believe."

 * Part of why we label most of your posts rants is because you (try to) say something in 50,000 words that most of us can say in under 20. Just try to read your most recent post, it looks like someone ranted into a voice-to-text program for an hour and a half. Until you learn to work with your audience you'll keep running into this problem. 02:05, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Go outside, get some air. Maybe work out a little. That much text on something literally no person cares about is nothing short of wasteful. Click Link Or Gulag (talk) 02:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
