2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

The real issue here is your demonisation of basement-dwellers. In many cultures it is perfectly acceptable to live with your parents into adulthood. I would say that you have only been exposed to a small group of basement-dwellers. I personally don't agree with playing a minimum of 16 hours of World of Warcraft a day - as I know many other basement-dwellers do. I also have many girlfriends, and often go to parties where I interact with people. My experience is that all that partying and getting out "in the sun" means less time for introspection and critical thought - I also didn't like it that I was forced to drink beer rather than red-bull or mother at social gatherings. Many of us fear that is children continue to be put under such a system, that we will have more illogical and ignorant people in the world. It is because of this support for the creative arts that I play 12-16 hours of computer a day, in my basement. Not everything is so simple; please don't try to paint everybody who lives in a basement, with no income, and plays non-stop computer as a "basement-dweller". Tielec01 (talk) 05:22, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
