Conservapedia talk:What is going on at CP?/Archive330
Discussions at Conservapedia...[edit]
... just don't happen anymore.
Have a look at the pages which were edited in March 2014 - 800 pages were edited, only 113 pages gathered at least five edits.
What's perplexing is that there are only five talk-pages in this picture - indeed, only twelve talk-pages were edited at all:

So ken is back[edit]
And dribbling his shit all over cp again. What EXACTLY is he trying to tell us here [13]? It links to this which links through to this. What is going on in what passes for his mind? Oldusgitus (talk) 11:04, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, Wall Drug is some roadside tourist trap-type thing that you have to see, if you ever have the misfortune to be in South Dakota. Other than that, I can only assume the Inscrutable One is hinting at a countdown to some other even that will never happen. Still, good to see Ken's finished crying in the corner after his last round of lies came home to roost - maybe now he'll provide some more easily refuted lies. I'm guessing that due to illness and death threats from atheists, his long-haired creationist sweetheart wasn't able to finish the booklet, but once she's installed in the new super secret bunker, the booklet will be ready by the end of 2015. Or because numerous organisations are making demands on his time as a spelling-bee winning English instructor, he won't be able to give the project his full attention for the next 3 years. PsyGremlinSpeak! 11:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, to the surprise of nobody, whatever was dribbling out has dribbled away again as he burns the page - again. Way to go ken, I guess you were decided to spend more time on getting your booklet published in the first quarter of 2014 eh? Oldusgitus (talk) 12:36, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

- Here are the three news items in their full glory. The first one was the juciest, but it's nice that Andy thinks that the second and third are news-worthy...
In the News. what the MSM isn't fully covering.
New Jersey Chris Christie Changing Party Affiliation to Democrat. (http://www.teapartycrusaders.com/obama/breaking-nj-chris-christie-changing-party-affiliation-democrat-remember/)
Could U.S. Constitution Be Changed to Eliminate Second Amendment? (http://www.teapartycrusaders.com/u-s-politics/u-s-constitution-changed-eliminate-second-amendment/) The continued push for a constitutional convention is fraught with potential problems.
Muslims say Easter Egg Hunt invitation at a public school violates the U.S. Constitution. (http://www.teapartycrusaders.com/u-s-news/muslims-say-easter-egg-hunt-violates-u-s-constitution/) America has a Christian heritage so there is no constitutional problem.

- The big question is whether Ken thought the Christie story was real. It's not like him to post a satirical article as "news," and his quick burning of the evidence would support the theory that he thought it was real. That could point in the direction of Asperger's as his mystery affliction. Whoover (talk) 15:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Setback for the liberal agenda[edit]
Is actually a setback for the economic recovery. Nice spin Andy.[1]img [2]img --Mercian (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
So Ken likes christian songs[edit]
Especially those by Pentatoniximg. So that would be the Pentatonix that support LGBTQ rights and contains 2 openly out members would it Ken? Count down to burning all evidence in 3, 2, ......... Oldusgitus (talk) 13:01, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, he doubled down by adding another Pentatonix "christian" song, but ... burned. It's possible he hadn't seen this thread yet, but that's questionable since he left the other "christian" song up. I guess it's a "christian" song, but it's sort of shabby treatment of the term to accept it from some degenerates.

Larron[edit]
Is it possible to see a visualization of how frequently Ken oversights edits or deletes the entire history in a period of whatever granularity makes sense? He can't burn the patrol logs, and checking those diffs will give the familiar WM "bug" message. I would work on a script to do it, but I frequently get fail2ban jailed (or whatever) and have serious server error problems — he really needs to upgrade his hosting plan — it's completely inadequate these days. I suspect that he burns a very substantial number of his actual edits. Not sure whether WM counts such edits for purposes of its counter — if not, it's sad to think of a person as even more deeply obsessed with issues he has to lie about to present according to his cult's bias. 15:51, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Cursory search of his last 50 edits, so definitely not the final word — 36% oversighted. Wow. 19:01, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Until 2013, I regularly looked up the user contributions - at least of the active editors. Then, it was possible to identify the missing edits, at least for the auto-patrolled contributors. But crawling Conservapedia became more and more cumbersome: nowadays, I'm just gathering the new revisions once a month. If at this time Ken has already deleted a revision, I'll spot it. OTOH, if Ken deletes the revision only after I've stored it away, I'll generally won't know about it. Keeping this in mind, here are two graphics illustrating deletions at Conservapedia:
- The first one shows Ken's edits per month. You find the edits which I know to be deleted marked blue. The brown part includes not deleted edits - and edits which may be deleted (Rumsfeld's known unknowns?) In the background, the percentage of definitely deleted revisions per year is shown.
- The data for the next graphic is taken from the - public - deletion log of Conservapedia. So it is quite accurate, but it only shows delete pages! In 2010, Ken learned how to hide/delete revisions, and I have no direct way to get this data. Again, in the background, the percentage of deletions performed by Ken per year.
Sorry for the delay, I had stuff to do :-) --larron (talk) 17:41, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

We are the Tea Party extremists - nice work on that[edit]
http://www.teapartycrusaders.com/u-s-politics/tax-day-rnc-sues-irs/
And so the second or sometimes first largest party in the US sues the government (OK, the IRS) over the extremist wing of the party trying to get tax breaks for their political activity. I doubt one in ten of the tea party idiots understand how to set up a non-profit organisation correctly. The other nine are undoubtedly breaking the law. ħuman 05:00, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

So why can't Eskimos grow fur?[edit]
Probably for the same reason that RoseAnn Salanitriimg can't grow a brain. — Unsigned, by: Ephess / talk / contribs
If you want a serious answer humans living in very cold conditions can wear clothes which no other animal can. Therefore humans don't need to evolve fur. Proxima Centauri (talk)
- ^ +1 for Proxy. ħuman 04:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- ^ +1 for Proxy. ħuman
- No. That's not how evolution works. Evolution doesn't work based on what a species "needs." It works by random mutations which provide comparative advantage. TeenageWasteland (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, but clothing means that a random mutation to restore our fur would not have been that advantage. The mutation might not have occurred, but had it, it would likely have resulted in her inability to find a date due to long-ingrained behavioral preference, with clothing removing any advantage. Whoover (talk) 15:23, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- I think humans have occurred way too recently in history to evolve to have fur. Remember, we have evidence that humans originated in Africa, so having heavy fur won't be much use. Humans have migrated to many parts of the world, so they need something more immediate (clothes) to shelter themselves. LEFTYGREENMARIO 21:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

- Uh because wp:Lamarckism, and I know Terry and his goons know better. She's openly misrepresenting the TOE to score some cheap religious point because most rank and file YECs are ignoramuses when it comes to the science. And I look forward to seeing Terry defend the article in comments. Like Rayment, he argues without the least bit of principle. If the "evolutionist" makes a claim or opposes whatever the YEC thinks is orthodox YECism, the "evolutionist" is wrong. QED. 15:44, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I kind of like how he gave Dmitry THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT!!!1! For, as near as I can tell, not very much at all. But wow does that highlight how he'll take any power trip he can get no matter how small. I'm not sure falsely reporting someone for spam really will do much, but it's enough to know that Terry wants him to SUFFER!! --Kels (talk) 14:24, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. Long time lurker (back to the early days), first time editor. Yeah, Terry seemed to extract a real amount of satisfaction from de-registering my wordpress account (for the second time; the first was when I rebutted each of "The Eagle"'s proofs of Obama's secret Muslim agenda). What genuinely confuses me is how he seems to tolerate Fergus tearing him a new cloaca, but berates me for "civility" when I tell him he seems to have no working knowledge of all that he rails against. Ah well, I'm perfectly content to just watch the idiocy flow like lava.
- Incidentally, I have next to no wiki-etiquette, so if I break the entire site's formatting or something, apologies in advance. Dmitry (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Fergus puzzles me too. Maybe Terry realizes on some level that without him, there's nothing really worth reading on the site. --Kels (talk) 15:54, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Wasn't Fergus here at one stage or am I imagining that? I tend to think coke eyes keeps Fergus there because he needs to be seen to be allowing some disent and Fergus tends to attack Walt Brown and his craziness rather than terry directly. You were kicked into touch because you blatantly told terry he was stupid and needed to educate himself. Remember, this is the man who will own THE GENERATOR when that crafty Obama finaly installs the dictatorship. You should be bowing to him, not telling him he is an uneducated moron.

And sometime overnight MatthewJ has handed Terry and Roseanne a comprehensive combined education and metaphorical spanking. Top work Matthew, I can't wait to see Terry's 2 line dismisal of your opus. Oldusgitus (talk) 07:05, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- A truly remarkable response from Matthew J. No doubt Terry will be offended, but the tone was perfectly civil throughout. I particularly liked 'Your odds of winning the lottery don’t go up if you really really really need the money.' Worm (talk) 10:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, it is excellent. Re-reading the original post I had a good laugh at this sentence: "Perhaps [something about transitional fossils is] why Evolutionists fight so frantically for the known errors and hoaxes to be kept in textbooks." Putting things in textbooks: that well-known way of keeping them completely secret. Terry's excommunication of Dmitry ("Let it be known...") is pretty hilarious too.

- It's actually rather sweet really, he's taken the option of completely ignoring the educational humilitation heaped on him by Matthew. To an extent I can't say I am surprised, he is one of the most deliberately mendacious 'debaters' I've ever witnessed. And as for the porno vids, I don't get them. Perhaps it's something to do with cookies on the machine? Oldusgitus (talk) 18:34, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

- There's a mate of mine who runs a bicycle and motorcycle shop in Reading who is an xian. He drinks, smokes and swears worse than I do.

Coming a little late to this and, responding to the initial question, Eskimos do show some metabolic differences to non-Eskimos. These could be heat adaptations. For that matter other groups show adaptation to high altitude. So while we haven't grown fur, some subgroups have evolved in other ways.--Bob"I think you'll find it's more complicated than that." 19:20, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

A tiny bit of credit for Terry?[edit]
Can I stick my neck out and suggest that Terry deserves a tiny bit of credit for engaging in debate about his version of YEC craziness? (So long as you keep the tone reasonably civil.) Instead of shutting out people who disagree with him (Schlafly), abusing them as individuals (Karajerk) or abusing the entire socioeconomic group to which they belong (Ken). The fact that Terry's ideas about geology, physics, biology - almost any science, really - make one's head spin is a different matter. Cardinal Fang (talk) 22:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
- I'm with you on that one. Mad as his ideas are, he's willing to debate them. Even more, when a discussion ends with a comment that demolishes his argument (which is often) he'll usually approve that comment and leave it on the site. He doesn't flamethrower the evidence like the dribbling cretins at CP do.--Fergus Mason If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired.

Credit should be awarded for genuine intelligence and positive ideas, not for being slightly less contemptible and pathetic in one isolated situation than the likes of Andy and Ken. Plus his motives for continuing this discussion are unknown and could be anything from not wanting to look like a coward in front of his fundie brethren to wanting to convert the guy to an actual desire to engage in a debate, and thus probably should not be automatically assumed to have a positive root.

He's also not permitting free speech in any strong sense — he regularly censors posts from several posters there when they make him look like too much of a fool. Terry's no different than CMI when it publishes comments and then "responds" to them by disagreeing with every point made. YECs have to disagree with anything that goes against their bible; they also seem to reflexively disagree with anyone they think is hostile to their cults, which explains Terry rarely actually fully responding to comments on the merits, but rather addressing the commenters' beliefs and then categorically denying the whole premise of the discussion. They do this without the least bit of principle, notwithstanding their bogus claim to a source of "objective morality".

- Terry also has a nasty habit] of selectively responding to comments that aren't so hard to "knock down." He seems to spend a lot of time sidestepping the main thrust of any arguments against him, and instead settles on whatever minutiae he can dismiss easily and without much thought. I believe the purpose of his responses is more to reinforce his credibility in front of those who already agree with him. I can't imagine he seriously thinks he's going to turn "evolutionists" astray with his comments. - Grant (talk) 13:50, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- No, I'm fairly sure he doesn't. He's stated his belief that "evolutionists'" hearts are hardened to god and that they adhere to naturalism in order to exclude god. In that regard, he's taken a cue from CMI/AiG, which treat their "ministry" against "evolutionary thinking" as a negative apologetics, i.e. based almost entirely on denial and inappropriate burden shifting. 14:07, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed, and that's why I can't (and won't) give him any credit. His "debating" is just an underhanded tactic to advance the same kinds of goals that Ken and Andy advance, and there's no debating involved. He wants the appearance of a debate just enough that someone who lacks an education in physics/astronomy (or geology, biology, or whatever fits the anti-scientific rant of the day) might think he's making valid counter-arguments. He is not, however, and it only takes a rudimentary knowledge of the science behind the theories he's trying to challenge to realize that he's just making feints to solidify his perceived power base. Being insidious doesn't make one deserving of credit, I think. - Grant (talk) 14:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I did say a tiny bit of credit... I don't want to exaggerate but I do think there's some difference between someone who evidently reads all the contributions on his blog even if he then finds some spurious reason for rejecting what he's been told and, on the other hand, someone who accuses people who don't share his viewpoint of buggering sheep. I agree with Michael Reiss when he said that, rather than simply dismissing creationism as an aberration, scientists [MR said teachers specifically] should take the time to explain why it has no scientific basis. We may make no impact on Terry himself but at least someone reading his blog can see that the total bollocks spouted by people like Rosanne and Bradleee can be rebutted. Terry provides a platform for that discussion, however much he likes to get the last word. Cardinal Fang (talk) 20:46, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
The mind of the Kendoll[edit]
Truly atheism in the UK is doomed. DOOOOOOOOMED!img. The reason is because in 15 years by some dodgy projections somewhat less than one in ten Chinese people might be Christians. And 40K Chinese people immigrate to the UK every year. How ever will we cope with this massive influx of 4000 Christians a year? Gosh, churches might even see double digit attendance each week. I also enjoyed him asserting without evidence that all Chinese Christians are creationists, because why not add baseless assumptions to your complete lack of understanding of simple maths. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 14:24, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

But wait, there's more![edit]
Aww, he's jumping up and down and capering for us.img. That's, er, cute? Let me say this in the form of bullet points, so Ken might have a chance of understanding:
- Quoting someone else making the same baseless assumption is not the same thing as actually backing up what you say with evidence. Even when you don't hightlight in red the three previous words where they admit that they're making a baseless assumption. I'm sure you frantically googled to find some evidence that all Chinese Christians were creationists, but you'll have to frantically google some more.
- You keep saying that atheism has a poor retention rate in the US while completely failing to notice that year on year the number of the godless keeps rising. Haven't you stopped to consider that that means that atheism isn't like religion, that it isn't passed on by childhood indoctrination? You're obsessed with this idea of religion as some sort of venereal disease that you've completely failed to notice that it doesn't fucking matter whether your tribe spits out babies like a tennis serving machine in a thunder storm, religion is still following the trajectory of a failing social network and for the same reasons.
- Are you really still promising that your "campaign" is actually going to do things? Aren't you humiliated enough by the last two years of promises? Jesus fucking wept.
Also, I'll say it again. Since all you're doing these days is capering for our amusement, why don't you come here and do it? It might help you if you actually had an environment where you couldn't burn the evidence all the time. You might stop for five minutes before opening your mouth and shoving your foot in it yet again. --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 18:05, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Ken[edit]
I see that you deleted several attempts at an FYI some time late last night. The Americans are pretty much asleep by then, and can't in any event look at Conservapedia without using proxies, so it's a drag that's no longer worth much time. The brits are just getting up to start their days, so they don't have a lot of time to obsessively check CP like you do RW. I'm sure some of us are interested in reading your FYI, but you need to leave it up long enough at a time anyone's likely to see it to get the attention you want. Thanks in advance. 14:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Glad you read the article Ken (or at least glanced at it). Unfortunately I can't follow the links you provided about the nature of the "nones", as it only exists as a screenshot, but I have a pretty good idea of what it says, and I'm sure it cherry-picks many "facts". I never said the nones don't believe in god; if they didn't they'd be atheists. Nevertheless, most aren't "Christians" in anything other than the sense that they celebrate Christmas and other such holidays, and they certainly are very unlikely to be young Earth creationists, which is what you're always harping about. Additionally, I assume the 26% of atheists are "nones" or some similar non-religious categorization, rather than Jehovah's Witnesses, 7th Day Adventists, and the like is because if any significant percentage of them did join such groups, it would be highly noteworthy and the the survey certainly would have mentioned it. It did not. Therefore it is quite safe to assume that the number of atheists who converted to these fringe groups is very small - too small to even note. I don't know exactly what they became when they abandoned their atheism, but it wasn't Christianity for more than about 40% of them, totaling well under 1 million people. Finally, regarding your predictable assertion that Christians believe in less paranormal mumbo jumbo than atheists, take a gander at this. In case it proves too confusing for your little mind, I'll sum up the basic thesis for you: the study surveyed paranormal beliefs other than those associated with Christianity. Obviously, if they had included religious paranormal beliefs, the number of Christians believing them would be 100%. This is sort of like saying "other than the crazy beliefs certain people have, they are less likely to believe in crazy things than other people." There are other flaws in the study which are pointed out as well. Now as long as I have your attention, how about providing me with all the evidence for Christianity you're always going on about? You love to link to your Christian apologetics article, but it's an article about Christian apologetics, and devoid of any actual evidence beyond "it's in the Bible". There are a few weak arguments for the existence of a god, but that is very different than evidence for the truth of the Bible. DickTurpis (talk) 23:26, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey Andy[edit]
Seeing as you're big on treesimg and shit (mostly shit though), Google "Old Tjikko" and feast your eyes on a tree that's 9,550 years old. How does that factor into your counter-examples? Or if you want to limit your search to American trees, have a look at Pando, which might be 80,000 years old...
Also, amazing how you're quite happy to take the lamestream media at face value, when they say something you agree with. --PsyGremlinSpeak! 14:57, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Not to rain on your shit parade (an improvement?), but liberals admit their own errors and someone was wrong on the internet, blah blah blah... By "unitary" I assume Andy means an organism that hasn't vegetatively cloned itself and is counting older clones as part of its lifespan. That is the case with Old Tjikko and Pando, altho with the former the root systems have been verified by carbon dating to be ~10,000 old. A rare example of Andy being technically correct! Shakedangle (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Also, Andy and friends don't exactly put much stock in carbon dating. This is convenient, since dendrochronology has a rough upper limit of ~11000 years. We have seen before that anything younger than 100 000 years or so is apparently admissible evidence for YEC according to Andy. - Grant (talk) 15:22, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- The other thing being that if the Flood was a thing, wouldn't these trees be about 4,000 years old? And Snarkdandlies, cloned or not, 9,500 years still trumps Andy's 6,000 years for the age of the Earth. --PsyGremlinSpeak! 15:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well yes, but you're forgetting that some trees and other vegetation (somehow) survived the flood. That's how the animals survived after and stuff, right? - Grant (talk) 15:40, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- No argument from me there Psylocke, but like Grant mentioned, Creationists reject carbon dating.

Shakedangle (talk) 16:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- I'd think the >4,000 age would be a problem. Most vegetation survived because seeds. But submerging a tree for a year, subjecting it to Richter 12 upheaval and all the radioactivity that Hurlbut is always going on about can't be good for its health.

April 2014 at Conservapedia[edit]
April 2014 was the month of cp:User:Joaquín Martínez:
|
His feat is impressive: perhaps a dozen user have made more than 1600 edits in a month. User:Conservative is topping the list with eight month of more than 1600 edits - he holds the overall record with ~3700 edits in a single month...
TeenageWasteland asked '"'Would it be possible to see a list of the number of main space edits per day on CP going back, say, 90 days, minus the edits of Martinez and Conservative?"
Well, here is at least something similar: a 28-days moving average display of the number of edits to all namespaces. 28-days-ma, you may ask? Elementary, my dear Watson: for each day, the average number of edits over the previous four weeks is given. E.g., at the end of April the number for all editors combined is 120, so in the previous four weeks, i.e., roughly the month of April, 120 edits were made per day.
|
(BTW: in these pictures, each month has 30.437 days, therefore they don't align perfectly with reality. Just a matter of laziness)
When we look at the percentages, we see that Joaquín have contributed some 40% of all edits. And have a look at August 2013, when Conservapedia became Kenservapedia, at least for a month...
|
These pics a misleading in one regard: it seems that Conservapedia became dominated by two - three editors only over the last few month. Fact is, that at every time, only a few guys (yep, always guys) contribute the bulk of the edits, but the member of the cast change frequently. So, here is a picture of the contributors sorted by number of edits over the last four weeks (again, the 28d ma) This means the the top tier represents Joaquín in Apr 2014, but Ken in Aug 2012:
|
(For obvious reasons, the missing edits have been omitted). Again, let's take a look at the percentages:
|
What's the result of Joaquíns efforts? Hard to say, but the number of views (according to cp:Special:Statistics) wasn't increased:

Conservative fails at basic civics[edit]
Because he won a majority of the votes in the Electoral College during the last presidential elections.img That's why. TeenageWasteland (talk) 14:05, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'd actually not heard that quote before so I went to find it. Amazingly enough, Ken managed not to misquote Obama - although he did use somewhat selective quoting, as the rest of that paragraph concludes 'those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.' Nothing wrong with that really. And to be clear, is Ken taking the position that the future should belong to those who slander Islam? Nice attitude. Probably didn't read back a couple of paragraphs either. Andy would not be happy. 'The future must not belong to those who bully women -- it must be shaped by girls who go to school, and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.'

FYI[edit]
Did anyone catch the latest FYI from Kennyboy?172.218.56.70 (talk) 22:45, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
IIRC, Ken made some threads against Human a while ago (Details, anyone?). Now he is back-paddling. His FYI linked to this text:
A few clarifications and a few sundry items:
1. Never believe the testimony of a bitter person who you think is preoccupied with conspiracies. A member of our collective never planned on cyber attacking or googlebombing a small businesses website nor did he/she pray that someone in his/her church would be ex-communicated.
I know some of you long for a member (or members) of our collective to be unforgiving and vindictive, but it simply isn't so. For example, when the "pesterfester" asked to return to editing a certain website, the person who was "pesterfestered" was not opposed. Life is too short to hold grudges.
2. A member of our collective did pose as Patrick the singing leprechaun mentioned in Shockofgod's video "Leprachaun gets cussed out by angry atheists". Voice changing software was used while singing the song.
"Patrick" was recently asked by someone in his neigborhood to karaoke sing at a local tavern. In 2014, Patrick plans to karaoke sing. Should this occur, two of the songs that will be sung are All or nothing at all and When Irish eyes are smiling.
A couple of hours late, the following was posted to Karajou's talk-page, and deleted shortly after:
very sad
Based on the testimony of someone they say you cannot have a rational discussion/argument with, someone has been accused of being a vindictive/unforgiving person who planned to Google bomb and/or cyber attack a small business's website. In addition, it was claimed that a certain person prayed that someone would be ex-communicated from his/her church. Neither of these claims is true.
Of course, a great irony of the charge is that I/we had no problems with this person returning to be an editor of this wiki as long as he behaved himself. So much for my/our vindictive/unforgiving disposition.
Well, it turns out that your were right about this person. It was probably best he was not given the opportunity to be an editor again. He was not ready to return.
Of course, all he needs to do to be an editor again is to apologize and show fruits of his repentance like emailing us 100 pages of wiki content plus bringing us "a shrubbery". :) I joke about this because we both know it is very unlikely he will be an editor again given his attitude which seems rather entrenched.

- I can trace my family back to Tahiti which is why I have slightly olive skin and my daughter has it too. Little know Ace fact - I'm a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian. If you don't know who that is it doesn't matter, but you should probably read more. Acei9 12:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

- I have always wanted to meet a Bligh descendant so I can rough them up for old times sake. My family branch left Pitcairn first, long before the...unpleasantness occurred. We headed to Norfolk Island then NZ and Aussie. My father has retired back to Norfolk and lives there now. I have made a few trips there to see Fletcher Christians grave (though he was killed on Pitcairn). My families back-story is relatively interesting. Acei9 12:31, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

- Never mind, we have the capture (and I took a screen-grab which is on my office PC). Nonetheless I don't mean to boast, I have a pretty average life, better than most but not as good as others, however Ken just makes it so easy with vague allusions to past triumphs at spelling bee's and the possibility of future nights out at karaoke bars. Anyway I should stop fucking around because I have a 3000 word essay on New Zealand's electoral system which due Monday. Spent all day today sleeping after a bit of a bender which ended at 7am this morning so I'll be pulling an all-nighter I think. There's another achievement for you Ken, studying toward a Masters in Political Science while holding down a full-time job, caring for a family and drinking heavily most nights. Boom! Acei9 10:19, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Can't claim any interesting forebears, just a mutt with traces of Welsh or Breton peasantry among other bad influences. Nor any world-shaking achievements neither. I did go to a church basement ground floor coffee hall yesterday evening to play solo fiddle at an open mic, and the crowd was kind. Not much of a churchy crowd, but the Unitarians let their space be used for such purposes, even if one of the fellows sang "Makin' Whoopie" and did it justice. The last tune I gave them was "Whiskey Before Breakfast" and somewhere in the middle of the first time through I heard another fiddle from the back of the room. Mrs. Cogswell continued playing as she strolled up to the front, and we finished it as a duet, complete with a public smooch at the end. Teh crowd went aww.
Today I'm helping around the kitchen as she makes petits fours for tomorrow's recital, where her students will play to friends and family. Later on I will ply her with pinot grigio from Oz while the rice is cooking and at that time I plan to do manly things with a sabatier, a wok, onions, and avian dinosaur's flesh. That should be enough high points for one day. I don't want to strain myself. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

- I want to know how to do that! Seriously. :-( I hate wasting my days in a small cube surrounded by 3 walls and by other people confined to cubes who are, for the most part, not very pleasant, continually doing routine work that really doesn't matter, watching the sun cross the sky from my view of the one lone window across the room, while I am imprisoned in my small stuffy cube longing to get out, with my only escape being a half-hour lunch break where I walk around blocks of dirty city streets searching for a tiny park or bit of greenery to refresh my soul... day after day.

- That would be a step in an interesting direction, wouldn't it? Mrs. Cogswell has better qualifications for that than I do, though. Part of our secret is being self-employed, which doesn't work for everyone. At one time I thought the key to life was getting trained at a worthwhile skill, finding a bearable cube job, and setting aside a responsible fraction of wages for future contingencies. Other things happened, but I've got no complaints. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 23:20, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

It's Been a Whole Day[edit]
I would have bet that Ken or Andy would have made hay out of Jill Abramson getting canned at the NY Times. It's got it all. Replaced by a black man ("diversity"). Lower circulation ("CP wins").

A Conservapedian, in opposition to an Article V Convention, debated Michael Farris last night before a large crowd[edit]
The Conservapedian is of course no other than Andy himself. The large crowd has gathered in a church, and the debate starts with a prayer. So, if anyone can spare 90 minutes of her or his life to watch the youtube-video, which Andy proudly announces on the main pageimg: I'd be rather thankful to read a summary or a transcript, as I couldn't get over the first couple of minutes... --larron (talk) 05:40, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

- It wasn't so much a debate as the other side giving a lucid statement of his case and Andy saying "no that's not it" and then trotting out a parade of horribles as he narrated an incoherent story that even mentioned him going to the march for life for 6 years. He's a buffoon. Semi-related: I have to finally admit that I was wrong in saying that Andy is the least bit interesting. Mainstream responses to him are interesting. He's a one trick pony. Ken and Terry are the really scary ones. And I have to further admit that I find them more riveting to watch. Ken's always looking for even more extreme nonsense to entertain us with. Terry is just flat out whatever he is. They're the main show anymore as far as I'm concerned. Nutty Roux (talk) 14:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- But at the end of the day, User: Conservative is what User:conservative is, and that's not really interesting: a guy who struggles with some degree of mental illness saying crazy stuff. The only difference between him and the guy in front of the Metro station with the "Repent Now" sign and the photocopied leaflets is the fact that he seems to be on top of things enough to maintain access to a computer connected to the internet. The most interesting thing about him is his ability to bring out the bad guy in a lot of us here, who are willing to engage with him/goad him/point and laugh at him, when we would probably pass that guy at the station without a second glance. Terry is a boring old crank who basically recycles the party line in of the Tea Party/WND hate-o-sphere.
- But Andy has pretty much what is as good an education as is possible in US-America, has at least some vague connections to real power through his family, and in spite of this, is willing to embarrass himself on a regular basis by publicly sticking to arguments that are demonstrably wrong, and does so under his IRL name. And his level of wrong -- Russia as a better place to live than the US, earthquakes as evidence of YEC, underrated sports stars who are the elite in their discipline, the whole CBP, the best of the public, separate exams for girls -- is a sui generis realm of weirdness that even his allies don't buy. To me, that's way more interesting. Father Vivian O'Blivion : Dreamed I was an Eskimo 14:39, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- I had no idea who Michael Farris is (or an Article V Convention, for that matter), so naturally I looked him up on a completely reliable and unbiased website, where I learn that he is (among other things) "first president of Patrick Henry College, a conservative Christian collage" (emphasis added). Nice work, conserva-guys. Cantabrigian (talk) 19:53, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

- That's right, CP never quite struck the right balance to appeal to anyone, aside from power hungry mini internet dictators, the mentally ill and liberal trolls. Andy's a strange bird. He's much too pro-establishment (with delusional hopes of having a position of real power) to fall into the usual right wing paranoid NWO conspiracy mindset, aside from dabbling in a bit of birtherism, that is. Instead, he prefers his own bizarre personal conspiracies about Castro dieing and the liberal NFL shunning Tim Tebow for his beliefs. This makes him too nuts to appeal to the mainstream chamber of commerce style Republicans or pseudointellectual neocons. Throw in some incompetent leadership and you have the disaster that is CP.

Jesus is coming? Tell him to piss off[edit]
A nice example of the schizoid Bircher mentalityimg over on Terry's house o' dumb. They really can't decide whether they want the world to end or not. My favourite part is the complete mixing up of the thief in the night metaphor. I guess if Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, Roseann's going to be waiting with her glock of deicide +10.

Cardinal Fang (talk) 11:45, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- I am not sure if they are pre-trib or post-trib believers. If the latter, than they fully expect to have to live through the Great Tribulation, or at least the first half of it (Mid-tribulation and pre-wrath beliefs).

More history, Andy-style[edit]
Because apparently everybody refers to them as "Polish concentration camps...img
He also says that "Poland was the location of the most concentration camps" - this is clearly untrue, as evil WP tells us that Germany housed nearly double the number of camps that Poland did. --PsyGremlinSpeak! 08:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Ethopia In Africa. Thanks Andy, I thought it was the Ethopians in South America that got invaded. Also " He style caused far more casualties in the enemy than suffered by his troops.". Besides the fucking grammar (I know I suck a grammar, but I'm not claiming to be a god damn teacher) is he saying Patton was the first commander to employ tactics where his men lived, and the enemies' died? --Revolverman (talk) 10:12, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- How long till someone points out the true ratio of concentration camps, engages andy's "FUCK YOU!!!

- I think this is a reference to Obama referring to concentration camps within Poland. At the same time, it might also be the conflation of "concentration camps" with "extermination camps".

- Also noteworthy is Andy mentioning that Poles, "both Jewish and Christian" were the largest group of victims of the Holocaust. Conflating Poles (who happened to be Christians) who were killed for a whole variety of reasons, but were not expressly targeted because of their Christian identity as part of Nazi ideology, with Jews who were killed simply because they were Jews to me reads like someone trying to claim a particular kind of victimhood status that isn't really there.

- Same, but i have always seen it as a mere matter of time till andy does try to rewrite the constitution to better reflect the far right dominionist dogma of noted christian fanatics like Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Benjamin Franklin. Actually im fairly surprised he didnt start with that and then move onto rewriting the bible. Judge HoldenThe Judge Smiles 13:44, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- I get the sense that Andy actually has a fairly sophisticated understanding of the Constitution and its significance. I've seen him assert that the founders were Christians, but IIRC Karaturd is the one who's really bought into the Bartonesque lie that the US was founded as a christian nation (Terry too, but he hasn't bothered to make any kind of mark on CP or any of the other sites on which he's a "senior administrator" for years). I'd be interested to know if anyone else can point to instances of Andy actually pressing the issue. I think he sotto voce recognizes the wisdom of "good fences make good neighbors". It's simply too much to deny that places like Philadelphia have long histories of embracing diversity among christians, jews, and muslims going back before the Articles of Confederation. And there's a reason for that — it's good for business. There weren't any jewish founders, but it's beyond dispute that there was to some degree a tenor of embracing multiculturalism. There was enough diversity among christian sects that ensuring freedom of speech and religion was already significant by the time the states were called upon to join the confederation. Andy may spin the legitimacy of Supreme Court authority to interpret the Constitution, but only Terry is bold enough to pick and choose cases he likes by asserting without the least principle that cases he doesn't like are usurpative, or his favor: unconstitutional. No analysis even when pressed by the estimable Nathaniel Roubideaux. Andy actually writes (poor quality) briefs on significant Supreme Court cases. In other words, I think he gets it. Nutty Roux (talk) 14:19, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- I've always sort of thought that he doesn't want to set a precedent by someone calling a convention. Truth be told I think he knows damn well that reality has that liberal bias he fears so much and he worries that were a cc to be called then it may well end up with results that he, and all the other wingnuts, would prefer not to have. I could easily see a cc in the US endorsing things that wingers really hate and if they had called the convention that approved it then they would be fucked in trying to argue against it. Disclaimer, I'm not Merican, and I don't really understand the slightly bizare way US politics works. Oldusgitus (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

World History Study Guide from 1648[edit]
This study guide is riddled with errors. The best way to conserve such errors - and to prevent any improvement by other editors, is to call Andy out on them in no uncertain terms. Then, he'll dig out some fringe source, misinterpret it, and stick with it for eternity. So, let's make a list:
- The format is shite: neither chronological, nor alphabetical, but roughly in the order the terms appear in his lectures. So, capitalism is not only an American invention, but comes just after Louis XIV (ruled 1643-1715) and just before Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543).
- Prussia: a very militaristic nation-state in Europe very militaristic, but never a nation-state! Doesn't even fit CP's definition CP:nation state, but plays into Andy's idea that Prussia is another name for Germany...
- Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (1808-1873) President of the French Second Republic and nephew of Napoleon, but better known as Emperor Napoleon III of France
a start - please improve :-)

- Reconquista (AD 722-1492) the Christian retaking of Spain and Portugal from Muslim control, after the Islamic takeover of the peninsula in 1711-18. This is the only territory taken back by Christianity from Islam. So they took it back 300 years before the Muslims took over?
- Weird terms - should caravel really be in a list of important events and people?
- No mention of how the conquistadors wiped out the Aztecs and Incas and destroyed their civilisation and culture.

Oh for fuck sakes' Karajou[edit]
In Karajerk's world "Obama signs bill - in secret - restricting free speech."img
In reality, the Bill (HR 347), was passed unanimously by the Senate, then the House (who voted 399-3 in favour), and was then signed by Obama in Feb 2012. How exactly is this a big secret, you paranoid piece of shit??
In addition, HR 347 does not restrict free speech. Nor does it make it "illegal to protest anywhere the Secret Service is present," as your "source" claims. That law has been in effect for years already (look up 18 USC 1752). The new law actually relaxes these terms and conditions - changing "willfully and knowingly" to "knowingly" and defines the phrase "restricted buildings or grounds" to include "the White House or its grounds, or the Vice President's official residence or its grounds.
In addition, and this is something knuckleheads like you can't seem to grasp - just because you have the right to demonstrate (which you still do), doesn't mean that the authorities can't take action against you when you act like the ignorant thugs you are.
Now then, bow that you've been shown to be at best misled by your source, or at worst, lying through your teeth, how about taking that story down?

Sorry guys[edit]
Most of you won't remember me - ... but given that it was a frequent topic of debate between Andy and myself, I had to come back to point out the headline:
- The purchase of the L.A. Clippers by a white Microsoft billionaire is not what the liberal media wanted, and they begin looking for a new headline about something else.
Ironic that this was posted on the same day that Andy's favorite player, Kevin Durant, and his Thunder lost the fourth game to the Spurs after only winning two, to come short of making it to the NBA Finals. Durant missed a three pointer that could've tied the game into a second overtime. Don't get me wrong, Durant is still a great player - and MVP of this season, but since holding him up as a conservative hero and God's chosen player doesn't lend itself to nuance - it seems Andy has begun looking for a new headline about something else.--IDuan 17:36, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- How could we forget you and the ass kicking you regularly handed ou to the enlightened one. And all the headline goes to show if andy's goldfish long memory and attention span (and yes, I know it's not true about carp having short memories). He's moved on, completely forgetting his last great insight. Oldusgitus (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- Since this insight doesn't link to anything does anybody have a guess as to what Andy thinks the liberal media wanted, if not this sale? Did The New York Times demand that Sterling sell to blacks? Michael Jordan? Oprah? Is Ballmer insufficiently invested in the gay agenda? Usually, the insights from Andy's ass have some truthiness germ but I missed this one's.

- Don't forget the added insult to injury. "Overrated Sports Star" LeBron James and the Miami Heat did make it to the NBA finals unlike Durant and the Thunder. I also like Durant but admittedly wanted to see his team lose only because it only further cripples Andy's narrative about sports.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 12:17, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Pardon me for not ignoring his lunacy, but the multi-lingual Ken's[11]img.latest is the UK's ultra violent crime rate, 1.2 per 100,000 homicide rate compared to more than 4 times the homicide rate in the USA at 4.8 per 100,000.[12]img.

- Holy cow! Thanks to Mercian's comment, I looked up the UK Law. You can't even carry pocket knives with locking blades in public in the UK. That's a pretty strict (and overreacting, in my opinion) law, but it ain't my country. Phiwum (talk) 14:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

- Many members of my family always carry knives. They're practical. Unlike firearms, they're not used solely for killing--"Shut up, Brx." 14:38, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I always have a lock-blade pocketknife in my pocket. I use it to open boxes, cut bait, cut rope or fishing line, cut hockey tape or other tape, cut electrical cable ties or remove the tags from newly purchased clothing, whatever a blade makes easier. I don't use it every day, but it's often useful to have in my pocket.
- Not sure why you are stunned to learn that a cutting implement can be useful for all sorts of things besides butchering hogs. Or why you think that a lock-blade pocket knife would be the tool of choice for butchering, for that matter. Phiwum (talk) 15:29, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- It's relatively simple tbh. Due to our moderately intelligent gun laws many younger gang members don't like to carry guns. So they instead carry knives, machetes, bread knives etc. Then several years ago a chap called Stephen Lawrence was murdered by some racist thugs, and then a London headteacher was stabbed to death outside his school by a gang member and in true knee-jerk fashion and a moral hysteria whipped up by the daily fail carrying knives was banned. To be honest I'm not that bothered. The days when we carried sheath knives to play split the kipper are long gone.

- You can't carry anything that could be used as an offensive weapon with the intention to use it as such. I was once prosecuted for having a rolled up Sunday newspaper in my pocket - I was accquited. Admitedly I was attending an anti national front demo at the time but I actually genuinely had it as a rolled up newspaper, I had been reading it and was saving it for a wine tasting article in it. I even showed it to the magistrates in court to prove it had a wine article in it. A rolled up newspaper is colloquially known as a Millwall Brick due to the propensity of MFC fans to use it during the 1970's to break the noses of the opposing fans. Oldusgitus (talk) 17:11, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that knives present a real public safety problem. People in the US generally carry knives that are so dull they're dangerous. If you want to safely stab someone, get a variety of waterstones up to 12,000 grit and stop cutting boxes, cable ties, and tape. Newspapers? What's next? Clothes hangers? Phonebooks? Hoses? What is this, West Side Story? Nutty Roux (talk) 17:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- The Millwall Brick. It f'in well hurt to be smacked with one as well. It easily smashed a nose across a face and if it had 'added extras' it became really quite nasty. Oldusgitus (talk) 17:17, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- From that article, "The Millwall brick is used similarly to a shillelagh..." is possibly the best comparison between any two things I've ever seen. You know you're dealing with something interesting when the closest point of comparison is the shillelagh. - Grant (talk) 17:19, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

- [ECx4 or 5] Some days I don't mind going without an Italian waiter's style corkscrew, but I feel naked without my Opinel Nº8 in a trouser pocket right next to a little LED torch (or flashlight, to my fellow USAns.) That one has a blade a bit shorter than my index finger, and locks with a twist of the ferrule. Someone (a nanny, oddly enough) once saw it and asked me if I thought I needed protection. Only response I could give was a blank gaze, since an eyeroll or facepalm would have been rude. The most recent task it helped with was scoring a piece of masonite hardboard for an accurate snap. Also comes in handy when the lovely & talented Mrs. needs the tag sliced off of a bit of new stage wear. It mostly stays shaving sharp, but if there were a battery terminal with green fuzz needing to be scraped off, I wouldn't mind using it for that. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 17:24, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Potentially, yes. Thing is Stanley has been used by Liverpool and (espeically) Everton fans. If you really want to make a mess you tape two stanley blades together and then slash with them. it causes two parallel cuts that are too close together to be effectively sticthed. Not so bad in todays terms where there are butterfly bandages and artifical skin. In the 'old' days it left a very nasty scar. Without a good reason to be carrying it you would likely be charged.

Knives are a weird one. I've carried one for years. People often criticize me for it.

- I carry either a Leatherman super tool or a 4" lock knife. There are some restrictions but they're not too onerous - you can't carry a dagger, a lock knife with a one-handed opening mechanism or a fixed blade over 12cm long in public, unless you have a reason to or it's in a locked container.

- Society changes, I was in the Scouts and carried a sheath knife - a German one in a metal scabbard that I bought in Cologne - something that is genuinely useful when you're camping or in the woods; carrying one around town, however, is a completely different matter. I also used to always carry a Swiss Army knife while travelling because it was a useful tool but now they languish at the back of a drawer. Lock-blade knives - in particular, flick-knives - have been illegal in the UK for as long as I can remember, which is back to the 50s. ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 14:39, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
