Gobsmacked

I'm starting to think teh Assfly has deep-seated issues when it comes to members of the medical fraternity (Maybe he's found out they threw away the wrong piece when he was circumcised). Poor old Dr CB has been booted again, along with loads of liberal mockery, including calling him "Dr" CB [1] And my good friend Smeg Ed, blocks JameyC for ever for asking the question "How do we know he's not a doctor?" Seriously, these guys (and those two in particular) are getting out of hand. I feel the need to scream. Psygremlin 19:26, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

JameyC also got blocked for creating "Schlafly Style", in which he claimed all members of the family liked hanging out with children, talked funny, etc. --Kels 20:07, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Aw, would have been funny to see that before it got wiped... Uchiha^KATON! 20:34, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

I'm thinking Andy knows that real doctors on his site will not only call into question his medical "expertise" but also lead to the fixing of most of his blatant inaccurate statments (IE, Abortion causes breast cancer, instant death and low gas milage... It cause quite a stir when that first doctor was banned in the beginning, and Andy doesn't want a repeat of that I'm sure. SirChuckB^{Will Sysop for food} 15:34, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

You mean when PalMD was blocked? I was under the impression they just brushed it off. I didn't know it was actually controversial. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 13:01, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Try looking HERE. Happy reading! CЯacke® 13:14, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

No no no... well, it might have been Pal... the Doctor who was blocked for trying to fix Andy's nonsense about Abortions and Breast Cancer... I didn't think it was Pal, but it may have been. It was huge news in the blog world. They had to really fight to get past that. 199.254.165.254 14:43, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

What do you mean by "huge news"? I've read many blog entries covering Conservapedia (not all, of course, but many), and never came across anything more than a passing mention of the incident. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 14:49, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Naming Conventions finally revealed

The user named after his favourite mineral blocks a new user with an uncontroversial name and explains the CP name rulez. DogP 22:01, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

That seems to be their new toy tonight - 3 or 4 others have gone the same way, courtesy of the well highlighted and initialed Assfly and Crockoshite. To misquote Baldrick, "They think irony is like goldy or bronzey" Psygremlin 22:06, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

As per the WIGO, User:Crocoite am now DeanS, I wonder when Karajou will become BrianM? (or User:C become KenD)? CЯacke® 00:56, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Aren't they going to run into trouble?

Given that the naming conwention is "your REAL first name and last initial" I would guess that ALL the John Johnson's out there are going to get screwed out of being able to edit one of the finest ed-ju-ma-ca-shun-al resources on the intertubes, save, of course for JohnJ. CЯacke® 01:15, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

What suprises me is the convention "your REAL first name and last initial" when Andy set the precident first initial and last name. When will the new DeanS build up the courage to take this up with AndrewS? 3.14159

And is Bohdan's real name Henry S***? Genghis^pillaging 04:30, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Those cocksuckers have gone too far now . . . I'm DeanS . . . That Rat bastard rock diddler needs to change his name to douche bag ^{— Unsigned, by: 72.218.136.167 / talk / contribs}

Have they at least had the courtesy to inform new subscribers of the naming convention on the sign up page? Or the usual case of block now, explain never? Psygremlin 12:19, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

That would be DoucheB :) SirChuckB^{Will Sysop for food} 15:28, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

You have to wonder how those guys find out your real name. -All Hail Tuna 14:56, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Liberal Profanities

I genuinely, sincerely thought the reply to Autofire on the talk page was parody/mockery... until I scrolled down to see the signature.

Seriously, I think he's getting worse. Uchiha^KATON! 22:57, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Can someone explain how you edit in a typo rather than edit out? 3.14159 23:06, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Hahaha damn that is funny. But yeah, I think he is getting waaay crazier Ace McWicked 00:39, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Just wait until the Republican National Conwention, he'll have them rolling in the aisles. CЯacke® 00:43, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Fact tags, complex analysis, relativity, John's gospel and now sighs. Man, those liberals don't know where to put their liberalness anymore. NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 01:33, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps the nice men in white coats will take him away to a psychiatric facility then we could have no more problems. Proxima Centauri 13:28, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Someone please create an article on "liberal culture"-Shangrala 07:15, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

...there isn't one yet? How odd, it sounds like an obvious candidate, now that you mention it...

Soon, there will be cp:Liberal breathing and cp:Liberal eating. *sighs* I do find it interesting that this isn't a strict "Liberal [noun]" article, though. Sure, it instantly jumps to the "liberal users" bit, but I gotta wonder why he breaks out of his convention. --Sid 07:16, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Don't forget about cp:Liberal dating! Fuzzy|AfD 13:25, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Isn't WeirdEdMoon the leading exponent of compulsive profanities on CP? And not just in the contemporary sense of the word but also with regard to the blasphemous and sacriligious, bearing in mind Ed worships an octogenarian Korean adulterer who claims to be G-d Himself, crowned himself Emperor of the Universe, and stated that his dead son Heung Jin Moon had done such a great job in "Heaven" that Jesus Christ had "stepped down" and handed over His heavenly rule to him... Makes you wonder if CP isn't actually just another one of the thousand or so Unification Church "fronts" they are using to take over the right. Who funds CP, anyway? Fox 13:58, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

MSN and evolution

I have no idea what they're talking about on Conservapedia with their MSN rankings for their evolution article. 'Evolution' and 'Theory of Evolution' didn't bring CP up in the top 30 results. Czolgolz 11:24, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

That was an interesting test; I have never used MSN search before, and I don't think I have ever searched on any other engine for "evolution" or "theory of evolution". So my results weren't biased by previous searches for the subjects. Results? For "evolution" I gave up looking after page 16 (ie 160 results) _ CP didn't appear at all, however Uncyclopedia was #16 and South Park (! lol) #28. For "theory of evolution", I gave up after page 10 (100 results) - again, no CP result at all. Fox 11:40, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Yeah the evolution ones didn't show up anywhere for me. You'd think that Conservapedia would love Bill Gates - he's the picture of capitalism.Shangrala 11:45, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Oh noes. The Gates Foundation gives money to provide atheist vaccines and liberal malaria research for those poor little black folks in Africa rather than building churches. Also they persuaded Warren Buffet to give away most of his money when he dies rather than leaving it to his family. Not Conservative values at all. Genghis^pillaging 12:38, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Interesting: I followed Kendoll's provided links, and got the same results as him. Remember, "theory of evolution" has to be in quotes, that's what he's been pumping. I wonder if his links contained any cues that honor MSN's observation that the CP article is the one he sweatily clicks on 20 times a day? human 12:51, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

(ec) I, too, have never used MSN before. I followed the link Ken provided (which did not have quotes around the search terms) and found this Conservapedia debate ranked at #132. Our article on "Theistic evolution" was ranked at #950. The actual Conservapedia article wasn't in the top 1000 results. I began to wonder if the Conservapedia article was even listed, so I added "conservapedia" to the search string, and I finally found it. Altering the search again, putting "Theory of evolution" in quotes and removing "conservapedia," brought Conservapedia up to #5. I wondered if adding the term "conservapedia" affected my later results. Sure enough, another search for "theory of evolution" (without the quotes) suddenly brought their article up to #3. So, there you have it. It seems that the only people who will see the Conservapedia article ranked third are the people who've already searched for it. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 13:00, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

What I find most humorous about all of this (despite the fact that Ken thinks people actually go to CP for serious information) is that he's measuring his search engine success based on his own search terms. For example, (I don't have time to actually look this up, so I'll bust out my Schlafly stats) "theory of evolution" is only searched for 1% as often as "evolution." However, a search for "evolution" wouldn't even put CP's article in the top million. You can see similar things with "young earth creationism" and "creation." So as long as I'm searching for exactly what Kenservative would search for I'll see something similar to what he sees; if I go with a more conventional, run-of-the-mill search term I'll never wind up on CP. Sandman 13:17, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

In this day and age, how many people really use major search engines for something like Evolution anyway? I mean, excepting students who need research sources (which I hope to god no teacher accepts Conservapedia as) or someone looking for som cheap internet lulz... who's gonna do a search. I know I would just look right at Wikipedia to get an overview (assuming I didn't know something about it already) and move on from there. SirChuckB^{Will Sysop for food} 15:34, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Re: picking phrases... I use google to find pieces I know I wrote on my own webshite but can't remember the title of. They usually have them crawled within days, all I have to do is remember a relatively unique group of words. human 15:38, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

HOLY CRAP!!! cp:Dinosaur is #1 on Google for dinosaur tail k-t event cedar osborn!!! Someone has really been working on those search engine rankings!! Good job, gentleman!! Stay tuned for further improvements!! Sandman 15:50, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Copying paragraphs from "instant" articles into Google is how you spot the plagiarism. Genghis^pillaging 16:38, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

"What does Marcellus Wallace look like?" (re: Ed Poor)

Jules: What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
Brett: What?
Jules: ENGLISH, MOTHERF*CKER! DO-YOU-SPEAK-IT?
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Then you know what I'm saying!
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like!
Brett: What, I-?
Jules: [pointing his gun] Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherf*cker. Say what one more goddamn time.
Brett: He's b-b-black...
Jules: Go on.
Brett: He's bald...
Jules: Does he look like a b*tch?
Brett: What?
[Jules shoots Brett in shoulder]
Jules: DOES HE LOOK LIKE A B*TCH?
Brett: No!

After seeing Ed slapping, warning and blocking users left and right for potentially getting stuff wrong or for pointing out errors, I really had to think of the above scene from Pulp Fiction. Especially the part where he went all "You are not allowed to comment on ANYTHING until you posted that explicit suggestion", followed by the 1-week block for making a single, unrelated user talk page post. --Sid 15:58, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Another one for the hotlist

http://www.conservapedia.com/Public_school_culture - luckily, with what look to be deceitful liberal improvements human 18:10, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

It is official.... I don't think he's ever even driven past a public school.... Where does he get his broadcasts from? directly from Russia? SirChuckB^{Will Sysop for food} 18:59, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

"General inability to look someone in the eye." WTF? Stile4aly 19:24, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

It's part of Aschlafly's RADAR, doncha know? It's like he's got this sick-sense that tells him if someone has every been within 2000 miles of a public school. It's amazing it's 95.667493% accurate! CЯacke®

What a complete idiot. He ought to, er, drop by a school sometime if he is going to write about the inhabitants. At least the truthy additions are still there :) human 20:04, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Of course he can recognise someone from a public school, they don't show him the deference that's due to him by agreeing with everything he says, and some of them :(male) don't wear 3 piece suits all the time; (female) wear trousers (pants?).   ^Contribs_Talk 20:15, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Andy must've watched Boston Public a lot. NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 20:17, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

another cultist?

Is Deborah a cultist?   ^Contribs_Talk 21:28, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

More likely a matter of Ed asking her[2] --Shagie 22:08, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Halifax Temple

Funny, when I see Halifax Temple, I think of this one, which helps serve the largest non-Asian buddhist population in North America. I've meditated there (although not nearly enough), it's an awesome place. --Kels 21:11, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Sighing Liberals

I can't find the link but it was only a couple of days ago that Andy claimed that starting a comment with *Sigh* was a liberal trait. If I could have found it I would ahve added it to the main page as it looks like Ed's a lyin Liberal RedDog 03:52, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

And I suppose you want me to spoon feed this for you too? DogP 03:48, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

if you didnt then I would fuck everything up and retreat with jeers and laughter still ringing in my ear while a wet stain slowly spreads across my crotch. I'll learn, I am from canada and they think i am slow, eh? Ace McWicked 03:51, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

That's the one! Thanks guys. If anyone thinks it's worthy of the main page please add. RedDog 03:52, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Well, someone added it, and it made me chuckle, but then I had to remembered that technically, this doesn't make Ed a liberal. Why? Because Liberal Style doesn't say that only liberals use these things, just like it doesn't say that all liberals use them (and because Andy didn't call him a liberal yet, and we all know that Andy alone is The Decider when it comes to identifying/branding people as liberals). In fact, all these lists are practically worthless because they don't really say anything concrete: "Some liberals sometimes use these things, and even though some conservatives also sometimes use them, let's not mention them and instead pretend that this is characteristic only for liberals." It's just like saying that eating and breathing are Liberal Style. Or disagreeing. Or not being a radical YECist. --Sid 06:41, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Anti-liberal neocon rants of well-known conservative Gulik5

Whoever posted this...

Finally Bohdan puts a stop to the anti-liberal neocon rants of well-known conservative Gulik5.

I'll let DogP take the Kudos for posting it for me. Besides I am shy Ace McWicked 03:56, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

I'm not taking any of your damn Canadian Kudos. Next thing you'll be making me eat poutine. DogP 04:11, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

I aint actually one of them backward Canadians, It was a line from the simpsons. I am actually from a throughly more backward country and soon I'll make you eat a hangi. Ace McWicked 04:15, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

You're going to make me eat buried superheated rocks? That will hurt. DogP

No no, its what contained amongst the rocks. Sweet potato and pork. I have actually never had one but the natives seem to enjoy it. The have done it since they landed here and, instead of pork, used the natives before them. Ace McWicked 04:22, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

DrCB Saga

This is great the liberals are banding together. I hereby predict that DrCB becomes the agent of evil that finally shuts Conservapedia down for good No, I don't think that's true, but wouldn't it be great though SirChuckB^{Will Sysop for food} 12:09, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Wherein I discover that I am eight people

Okay, I just saw this. I've been at school all day studying for exams. But apparently I'm at least four people I've never heard of. I'm impressed, again, that Karajou thinks I am every liberal who does well in an argument against Aschlafly, but this is just a quadruple-whammy of the Fallacy of Thinking Everyone is Ames.-caius (pirate) 23:35, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Huh, I can't actually view links on CP all of a sudden.-caius (pirate) 00:18, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

That's almost akin to having a complaint of not being able to use a bandsaw to amputate ones legs. CЯacke® 00:22, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Or being able to use a Roto-Tiller to grind one's victims into the earth as compost? Oops, that was my private horror movie schtick... I guess I gave it away. human 00:52, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

I'm a little confused. So, Karajou (whose real name must be Karajo Unger or something) thinks that ElizabethR is a sock of your other socks? Or am I just reading it wrong? --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 01:04, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

What does it all mean?

OK, sorry if this is the wrong place...

I have already argued on here that Conservapedia shouldn't be held to be representative of conservative or Christian views. Rather it's a fringe that is useful in highlighting certain trends within these movements. Indeed one could argue that groups and websites like CP serve a valuable purpose in this regard, much like extremist political parties do.

Some here disagree with this view and maintain that CP is representative of Christian conservatism, at least in the US.

So, where do we see whatever CP does represent going? Is it simply like every other extreme blog out there using the pervasiveness of the Internet to create a lot of heat but little substance and preach to the choir? Or is it indicative of a groundswell of populist opinion and religious fundamentalism that is here to stay? Last hurrah or mainstream? Ajkgordon 04:46, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

I basically agree with you. Conservapedia is pretty far from anything that I could recognize as conservative. If anything, it's rather reactionary with a fair bit of crypto-fascism thrown in. As for whether it's Christian, I don't really like putting myself up as a judge of other people's beliefs. As such, I accept that most of the people involved at least self-identify as Christians, even if it's not a form of Christianity that I can relate to or find appealing at all.

In any case, CP is certainly not representative of anything other than the views of the fringe community from which it springs. Also, the whole purpose of the site is not to engage in a dialogue with opponents, but rather to assert the superiority of a certain worldview. As such, it will be attractive to the very small minority who agree with that worldview, but no one else.

As an aside, one could consider whether RW doesn't suffer from the exact same problem, existing in a sort of unwholesome "mirror image relationship" with CP - but that's probably another discussion. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 06:08, 30 April 2008 (EDT) _{I worry that I seem to have grown way too fond of the word "unwholesome" of late.}

CP is a "swamp draining" "land developer" in that they boldly tread into dark and unknown brackish waters drain the thing and have s slew of new houses in a few years.

While I knew about YEC-types roaming the Earth before CP I had never actually met one, let alone talked with one. So while the idea is still wacky, and the holders of that idea hold it with delusional effectiveness I can still see them as sane rational people (otherwise).

The upshot is that what I used to consider delusional people (theistic evolutionists) have become moer "mainstream" and acceptable.

Re: CP & conservatism in the US - they really do represent a sort of inverted "tip of the iceberg" - the GOP has co-opted the religious and social conservative movement known generally as the "religious right" as part of their base, and CP strongly represents the extremism that is part of each of that group's pet issues. While many in the "movement" may be more moderate, they are swayed and influenced by direct and subtle uses of the positions CP takes - YEC may seem extreme and crazy, but the rhetoric they use snares many much more moderate faithful into voting their way. Look at the school board games (like the one that ended up as Dover v. Kitzmiller), the "gag rule" on health care providers getting gov't funds, things like "Expelled" which are promoted to the moderate as just being "pro faith"... etc etc. CP represents what the leaders of these movements really want. Keep in mind that 15% or so of PA GOP voters actually went out and voted for Mike Huckabee, against the already confirmed nominee-to-be (McCrazy).

This is not about "conservatism" in general, or worldwide, it is about a mostly US-centric movement called more rightly "radical conservatism". human 13:57, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

That's just Liebrul-speak for Neo-Nazi, right? Fox 16:49, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Heh, no. In the broadest terms, "conservatism" resists change (which is a good force to have in politics). "Radical conservatives" have an agenda (sometimes reactionary or backwards-looking, sometimes "new" ideas they want to become "law") and want to see changes made rapidly to match their vision. Technically it's an oxymoron, but it's what they are. (as far as "change", the spectrum sort of goes conservative - moderate - liberal - radical). Just my perspective seen from here in the good ole USA. human 17:04, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

(outdent) Not wishing to invoke Godwin, there is a movement for a very authorian worldview with some odd ideas for the Jewish people and Israel. Not sure exactly where you (fox) fall on this but look into Christian Zionism (ever realize that there is a religious group that wants Israel to go to war to trigger the rapture?). I haven't delved too far into this, but on the surface it seems accurate http://www.theocracywatch.org/ --Shagie 17:16, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Who's Who

I see the quote about missionaries' kids and Who's Who has been trotted out again. What they fail to see is that Who's Who In Who's Who (their source) has no connection with the real Who's Who, and is a subjective collection probably trawled from numerous vanity publications. The users at Rational Wiki could for example publish their own Who's Who (the name is in the public domain), add only the atheists and then truthfully state that not a single Christian is in Who's Who. Even if you accept the second-rate US (Marquis) versions, looking at the list here it seems that manipulation of criteria (and subsequent data) is pretty simple. And that list doesn't include vanity publications. Fox 07:14, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

I see, for example, that there is a publication, Who's Who in Religion, listing "church officials, clergy, religious educators, and lay leaders". I'm sure children of missionaries have a very disproportionate number of entries in there compared to children of orthodontists... Fox 07:29, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Don't you have to pay to be in Who's Who anyways? I seem to remember getting something way back in HS saying I could get my name in one if I paid a fee. The real title should be Who's Who with $20. Jrssr5 09:17, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Not in the real Who's Who - that's by editor's discretion, which is probably why it's more or less the only one being taken seriously. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 09:46, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

For Who's Who Among American High School Students, you don't have to pay to be listed, but you do have to consent to it. Still, it's widely considered a scam, designed to get parents to buy the book (which, in itself, is designed like a multi-volume phonebook) to see their kid's name. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 16:19, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

As with all publishing, the key element is "which way does the money flow?". The "real" Who's Who is published in order to be sold to reference libraries, and they buy it. Many of the rip offs are published to be sold to the "includants". The tip-off is when the "consent" form is mostly an "order" form. human 17:07, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Just looking at my emails over a cup of kick-start, and see more examples of what a lying fuck WeirdEdMoon is. Apparently he deleted more two-line entries regarding moonie affiliations, stating they were "plagiarised" from various sites. Funny how his idea of plagiarism allows TK to word-for-word copy/paste without this qualifying as plagiarism, but articles about moonies that are derived from a page elsewhere suddenly become the real-deal. I also noted that he's quite proud of the fact that moonies hate Jews - an edit I made a while back, which he's happy to gloat over by retaining. Fox 04:47, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Conservative's turd collection

That's understandable—I mean, this is Conservapedia we're talking about—, but Jesus Christ, Ken, you don't have to list them, like it was something bragworthy.

And on a slightly related note - PJR reinstates YEC as article of the week over Ken's Atheism. (Revert unilateral decision to replace the featured article.). Genghis^pillaging 04:51, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

I didn't verify, but hadn't Atheism been Featured Article just a few weeks or months ago, anyway? Conservative's really going overboard with his advertising campaign. Because let's face it, it's nothing more than that. He personally asks people on various sites to pimp his article and trolls on forums, and then pretends that people suddenly show great interest and that he alone knows how to write a good article. --Sid 07:00, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

I'm also a bit amused by the parallel between Andy, Ed & co.'s attitude towards women and Ken's attitude towards CP. While the wingnut brigade basically sees woman as life support for a fetus, who serves them all other times, Ken sees CP as life support for his articles and little else. --Kels 19:42, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Sorry could not help myself. The writer of the article graduated from BJU before BJU received accreditation. Babu Ranganathan has also been a vocal creationist writer for over 5 years on the net. He has been thoroughly debunked so many times due to his limited understanding of science as a whole. So of course his article should make the news at CP.

Speaking to people over at CP with a poor grasp on science, Conservative, nice blunder with the propaganda statement. Wonder how propaganda ties in with a "Trustworthy Encyclopedia"?--TimS 09:24, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

If at first you don't succeed...

Apparently Poor Ed has decided to take his views on the weaker sex out of the trash can of "Women in the Military", and relocate them to Gender Norming.

...Wow... Also, how's this for a good source? 'Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline'. Wikipedia needs to get reliable sources like that, really. But that article is hilarious. Females (Not 'women') are 'the weaker sex', and need lower standards to get equal results. Oh, and they suck at combat. We are the TRUSTWORTHY ENCYCLOPEDIA! -All Hail Tuna 10:34, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Ed's "cultural references" are the last 31 years as a brainwashed drone in the Moonies, Norman. Moon despises women; Moonies follow a doctrine of absolute misogyny. Example: "In one speech, he said that if a husband and wife needed to go to the restroom at the same time in the morning, that the husband must go first (the husband is over the wife). He goes on to say that if the wife can't wait, then she can go into the bathroom and go on the floor while the husband is there. He further states that after she messes up the floor in this way, she must clean it up herself. He says The husband must not help her to clean it up!. Besides just being a bizzare topic for a "sermon", it shows Moon's detest for women."[5] Fox 10:59, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

I'd be amazed if we were talking about somebody sane. But while we're on that article, it seems somewhat sane now.

Update - Ed's gone and removed sections from the Women in the Military piece that he found too pro-feminist (as in medical research by the military that deflated his point). He's assigning homework for any one interested in writing about how women have been useful to men in the military. --SpinyNorman 16:00, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

In fact, they go as far as to say "While the entire fields of law and politics encourage quoting an adversary to discredit him, evolutionist do not feel their quotes should be used against them and have invented the term quote mining to criticize that practice."
